[The Witch's Accord]

About the Game:


In a realm where ancient pacts bind shadows to men and even gods whisper through cracked shrines, The Witch’s Accord tells the story of a fallen heir clawing his way back from ruin.

Once destined for power and honor, he lost everything in a single night — his family slaughtered, his name branded traitor, his future reduced to ash by men who wore loyalty like a mask. Left for dead, he survived by sheer chance — or maybe fate’s cruel design — and vanished into the fringes of a kingdom that still bleeds from hidden wars.
Years later, that boy is a man hardened by battles fought in back alleys, border skirmishes, and places the law fears to tread. But behind the mercenary’s calm eyes, a deeper hunger burns: a promise of vengeance, freedom… and a final reckoning with the witch who waits in the shadows of Nightroot Forest.

Bound by an ancient Accord made in the dark, he shares his blood and will with Morwen Noctari, a witch older than the seals that chain her. Their fates are tangled: five hidden fragments hold the key to Morwen’s freedom — and the price for breaking them might be more than the world can bear.

Yet the deeper the MC hunts for these secrets, the more the lines blur. Is Morwen his captor, or his greatest ally? Is he still the master of his own choices, or a vessel for something older than memory?

[The Witch's Accord]

Meet Nimriel Fernvale







Nimriel Fernvale
Title: Fernvale’s Last Warden
Age: 120 (appears mid-twenties in human years)
Race: Elf

Fernvale was once an elven village of eternal spring gardens, hidden under enchanted veils. Nimriel grew up learning the bow and druidic magic from her grandmother, the village elder. She spent her youth wandering the wilds, speaking with spirits of stream and stone, healing wounded animals, and taking only what was needed.

But everything changed when the Rot came – a creeping black fungus that devoured groves and corrupted creatures. In desperation, Fernvale’s elders performed forbidden rites, sacrificing their life force to seal the Rot’s heart beneath their sacred oak. The forest was saved, but nearly every elder druid, including Nimriel’s grandmother, perished.

Honouring her grandmother’s teachings, Nimriel left Fernvale’s remains and joined the Circle of the Wildward, drawn to their mission of guardianship. Ever since, she patrols the wilds, protects sacred lands, and seeks a way to restore Fernvale to its former beauty.

Fun Fact:
Despite her calm and serious nature, Nimriel secretly loves sweet berry wines and gets adorably tipsy after just a single cup.

Meet Liora Ashenveil





Liora Ashenveil
Title: The Gilded Dawn
Age: 20
Race: Human

Liora Ashenveil was born amidst prayers of hope and whispers of fear. Five years later, border tensions erupted into war when betrayal toppled a noble house, leaving its lands defenceless. Too young to remember that night of slaughter, she grew up hearing tales of how crowns could hide darker evils than any devil.

Raised within the Verdant Order, she carried the legacy of Saint Ashenveil, the First Lightbearer. Her days were filled with scripture and sword drills, learning to wield mercy as deftly as a rapier. While others prayed for the strength to smite, Liora prayed for the wisdom to heal. She soothed wounds with divine light, calmed frightened children with old songs, and trained until dawn with blade in hand, her strikes flickering like sunrise through mist.

At sixteen, she stepped onto the warfront. By day, she healed comrades. By night, she defied orders, slipping into no-man’s land to tend enemy wounded and dying farmers alike. Soldiers called her The Gilded Dawn, their last warmth in dark hours. Elders, however, called her mercy dangerous, fearing it undermined hard-won victories.

The war ended when she was eighteen. Two winters have passed, but peace feels heavy. Blood still slicks her dreams no matter how often she prays it clean. Though hailed as a hero, she feels her true path lies beyond cathedral walls… into wild places where mercy and vengeance entwine like thorned vines, waiting for her to choose what she will become.


Fun Fact:
Her beauty and poise often lead others to assume she has elven blood — but her gifts are entirely her own.

Meet Myrren Vire






Myrren Vire
Title: The Witch’s Spear
Age: 26
Race: Human

Myrren Vire was born under the smell of salt and the sound of gulls, cradled not in a noble hall but in the swaying belly of a fishing skiff. Her earliest memories were of damp nets coiling around her feet, the rasp of barnacles under her small fingers, and her father’s laughter as he showed her how to mend lines torn by storm-hungry fish.

Her mother died when she was just four, taken by fever on a rain-lashed voyage between ports. From then on, it was just her and her father, Korr Vire, drifting from rocky coves to bustling markets, always chasing whispers of good hauls and ancient wrecks filled with treasure that belonged to the sea long before it ever belonged to men.

To the world, Korr was just another weathered old fisherman with a bad knee and salt-split hands. But to Myrren, he was a giant. At night, he would sit by the drifting firelight sharpening his battered old spear and spinning tales of the days he’d hunted monsters in sunken ruins and fought pirates along forgotten coasts — long before he traded iron and glory for fish scales and quiet waves. She would sit by his knee, spear across her lap, dreaming of adventures that would carve her name into the world, spearpoint first.

Fun Fact:
She can’t read or write well, and is deeply insecure about it — but pretends otherwise.

Meet Lyra Lumina






Lyra Lumina
Age: 24
Race: Changeling

Lyra’s story began with a cruel fey deception. Her true mother, a changeling bound to the Unseen Court, swapped her newborn daughter with that of a poor village couple under a misty night sky. When the couple awoke to see their child – pale as fresh snowfall, with eerie mirror-like eyes – fear gripped them. Though they loved her in those first moments, neighbours whispered of curses and demons, drowning out their compassion.

Desperate, they spent their meagre savings on hedge priests and charm-sellers, but none could “cure” her. Finally, in despair, they turned to Riona, an old hedge witch feared for her dangerous wisdom. At first sight, Riona knew the truth: this was no cursed human child, but a changeling left by the fey to replace what they had stolen. Grief and rage rose in the parents, and though some part of them wanted to smother the babe, neither could stain their hands with blood.

Riona offered a solution. She told them the girl might be “useful” one day, but in truth, she felt a flicker of pity for the pale infant who would never belong. With tears and guilt, the couple left their daughter behind and returned home, childless once more.

Under Riona’s stern guidance, Lyra learned herbs, potions, charms, and how to use her shapeshifting to survive a world that would burn her alive if they knew. Yet her true gift was music. By moonlight, she sang haunting melodies that charmed birds from trees and lulled even Riona into rare gentle dreams. Often she wondered if her real mother in the fey wilds ever thought of her, or if she too had been nothing more than a tool.

When Riona died, Lyra buried her beneath a tree and wandered from village to village, shifting her face to avoid questions, until she settled on the quiet edge of a bustling town. There she runs The Briar Nook, selling charms, herbs, and hidden witchcraft reagents.

Yet in secret, Lyra lives in constant fear. The Purity Wardens roam the roads, and one mistake could see her dragged away and burned alive. But more than anything, she longs for someone who sees her true self, not cursed or monstrous, but simply Lyra – someone who will hold her close and whisper, “My Lyra.”

Fun Fact: She hums random tunes while working, not realising they sometimes charm customers into buying things they didn’t plan to.

An accurate changeling detection? You have my full attention

Meet Morwen Noctari






Morwen Noctari
Title: Lady Noctari
Age: Appears mid-30s | True age unknown
Race: Human (formerly) / Bound Witch

Once, in the ancient city of Veylan where marble towers touched the heavens, Morwen Noctari stood as its most brilliant arcanist. Born to a lineage of scholars, her beauty and intellect became legend – silver-black hair, eyes like twilight storms, and a mind that danced through magical theories with effortless grace. Yet behind her serene smile hid an insatiable hunger. While her peers honed elemental spells and healing arts, Morwen reached further, seeking secrets that lay beyond life, death, and the weave of fate itself.

Despite warnings from the Mage Council, she delved into forbidden arts – shadowmancy, necromancy, fate-binding – poring over crumbling tomes by candlelight, binding shades to her will, glimpsing fractured visions of destiny. Her apprentices either vanished or were driven mad by truths they glimpsed but could not hold. Fear grew in the council’s hearts as black mist curled around her tower each new moon, and whispers of corruption became undeniable.

On the eve of winter solstice, the council struck. Dragged from her tower in chains, her beauty marred by bruises and soot, she was burned alive before Veylan’s gates as snow fell upon the pyre. As her flesh blackened and pain swallowed her world, her dying scream tore through the veil of realms. Deep within Nightroot Forest, where shadows gnaw at the roots of the world, an ancient being known only as The Unseen Root stirred and answered her agony with a whisper – promising life, vengeance, and power in exchange for devotion. In her final breath, she accepted.

She awoke beneath Nightroot’s twisted boughs, her body unmarked by the pyre that consumed her. Her hair fell in perfect silver-black waves, her face as beautiful and calm as before, though her eyes now gleamed with fathomless darkness. She returned to Veylan under a moonless sky, clad in darkened robes and light armor of obsidian leather, her power radiating like cold flame. Without a word, she slaughtered the council and cursed their bloodlines to madness and decay. Armies sent against her vanished into shadows, their screams lost to Nightroot’s depths.

Finally, five archmages united to seal her within Nightroot. Their combined might shattered her essence into fragments, scattered across realms to prevent her freedom. Centuries passed. At first she killed all who entered, her rage unending. But over time, hatred quieted into patient darkness. Now she waits beneath those ancient trees, dreaming of the day her seals break – when the world will kneel not before Lady Noctari the witch, but before a sovereign of fate and shadow to whom even gods will bow.

Fun Fact:
Some say her kiss can reveal your future… or steal your soul. Others say it does both, ensuring you die knowing exactly how your end will come.


And with her, we've now met all five main love interests. I hope you’ve enjoyed getting to know them—or at least found someone who caught your eye.

Dev Log #1


Hey everyone!

So this is it—our very first dev log for The Witch’s Accord, and honestly… I’m still a little surprised by the attention this lil thingy has gotten so far. The appreciation, the feedback, the growing support—it means a lot. We just crossed 50 members both on Discord and Patreon, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I've already shared the five main love interests and their backstories—maybe overshared a little, to be honest. I’m terrible at keeping secrets when I’m excited. But if you haven’t checked them out yet, scroll down and take a look.

Let’s start with some FAQs.

Are there going to be more girls?
Yes. Absolutely. There will be side girls—and quite a few of them. In fact, there was one I almost made the sixth main love interest. Her story is incredibly compelling, but her motivations and personality just didn’t align well with the harem dynamic. It would’ve felt forced. So I decided to keep her as a side character instead.

But don’t think “side girl” means shallow or one-note. Every girl—main or side—has a unique story. Many will belong to different races too: halflings, dhampirs, dark elves, succubi, more elves, and humans. I’m also experimenting with some unique races for later chapters (and feel free to suggest more in the Discord or here!).

Harem Path or Solo Routes?
This one comes up a lot (4 peeps asked it):

"Is this a forced harem? Can we choose a single girl? Are girls going to be pushed onto us?"

The answer is clear: No one is forced on you.
There is a true harem route—yes—but it will be hard to unlock. You’ll need to earn it. It's not just "pick all the right options." You’ll have to understand each girl, make sacrifices (not really), build trust, and navigate a path where none of them feel secondary. You will probably going to need a walkthrough for that path.

Each main girl also has her solo route, and you can absolutely focus on just one if that’s how you want to play. Me respects that choice.

What I’ve Been Working On

A big chunk of my time recently has gone into kitbashing environments and importing assets from Unreal and Blender. A lot of what I needed just doesn’t exist in Daz Studio, so I’ve had to build or rework it myself. That’s also made me consider adding light free-roam segments.

Nothing massive—but enough that the places I’ve built feel alive and aren’t wasted on just two renders.

And as many of you know, with the current Steam and Itch shit going on, I had to cut one major scene and a few risky stuff. They weren’t “bad,” but let’s just say they walked the edge. If you’re really curious what got removed, feel free to DM me, but I won’t be saying anything about it publicly.

That cut also forced me to rewrite one of the main girls’ arcs—her personality, motivations, and even part of her core story. It messed with my progress a bit, but I think the end result will be stronger.

Anyway, here are a couple preview pics:

Mc: Still ugly. Still breathing. Guess that’s enough.

Lyra: Which, um… actually, now that I say it out loud, sounds really grim. But I promise I’m much more helpful than I look. Usually. Probably.

A lil Lore Drop or something
A thousand years ago, the High Elves ruled from silver towers and moonlit courts — proud, powerful, and near-immortal. But even they could not escape decline. Their bloodlines, once pure and ancient, began to falter. Children were born fewer, weaker… or not at all. And so, in secret desperation, they turned to prophecy.

It spoke of a child — not born of elvenkind, but of a diff race blood — who would carry the spark to restore what time had taken. A girl who could produce heirs stronger than any born in centuries. A vessel for legacy… or a weapon of extinction.

Final Words
Okay, not gonna lie—I don’t think this was the cleanest dev log, but hey, it’s the first one. I’m still figuring out what’s worth sharing and what’s better left to surprise you in-game.

Moving forward, I’ll drop a weekly check-in post with updates on what I’ve worked on—renders, rewrites, progress. Full dev logs like this will come out whenever there’s something big to talk about.

Thanks for sticking with me—and again, thank you for supporting this project. We’re just getting started.

Progress:
Plot: ✅ 100%
Writing: 40% (8 scenes complete)
Scenes Posed: 246 / ???
Scenes Rendered: 180 / 246
Animation: 0%
Coding: 0%
Music/Sound: 0%

I kinda just copy-pasted it from Patreon because I was being lazy—so if it looks a bit rough or stupid, yeah, I totally agree with you.

First saw your previews on reddit, now I see your here. I just love how the LI look, they all look good and the story seems interesting.

I will ask, cause many more tags coming, will there be some sort of femdom, even if its light? And can we get some lesbian action between the girls, at least during group sex? Those are the only questions that come to mind right now.

But very excited to see more.

Appreciate you checking it out here too and glad you like the LI!

As for your questions: yes, there will definitely be some lesbo content, especially during group scenes. And light femdom is something I’ve been considering too—might explore that in future updates depending on how things evolve.

Looks great.
Personally wished Morwen was a bit more Milfy / older looking but that's just me.
Good luck.
