Witch You Want

Witch You Want Apply to be a witch’s assistant and help brew potions under a tight deadline. As you work side by side, anime-style dialogue sparks an emotional yuri romance in this casual visual novel RPG.

Witch You Want

Witch You Want is an inventive adult visual novel RPG that drops you into a world packed with fantasy, spells, and mischief. You play as a job applicant who answers a local witch’s help-wanted notice. After being hired, you spend your days working right beside her—and slowly, a romance begins to form in the background of your busy routine.

The game features striking, high-detail anime-style artwork, plus plenty of conversation-driven storytelling. You’ll also be tested by potion-making tasks with tight deadlines, all while dealing with your employer’s… well, let’s call it questionable competence. Expect lots of dialogue, Yuri (girls’ love) themes, and an emotionally engaging romantic simulation.

An Engaging Storyline

How it all starts

Armed with a gleaming magical parchment, you read the witch’s urgent job posting. She needs an assistant to help brew potions before the town’s weekend festival kicks off. With the deadline looming, finding help isn’t going well—and since you’re currently between jobs, you decide to apply. With equal parts nervousness and curiosity, you sign on and wonder what kind of adventure you’re stepping into.

Your new workplace

In this town, an arrogant, dramatic witch runs a local apothecary. Her magical skills are—how should you put it—inconsistent. Soon she realizes that if she wants to sell enough potions by festival time (and keep her business alive), she’ll need more hands. Your “dubious” job advertisement leads directly to you becoming her assistant.

Now the question is simple: can the two of you finish the work before the festival ends? Will you manage to produce even one potion that actually works? And, above all—can this slightly clumsy witch win your heart?

Excellent Performance

Yuri Friends! Studio Élan has released four new short-form Yuri visual novels on itch.io, and all of them are free to play. These titles were created for the studio’s internal game-making contest held in September, where teams were challenged to build a brand-new game from scratch. Earlier this month, Studio Élan introduced the games through live stream events co-hosted with Bellflowers, a streamer collective working with the studio.

The four visual novels are: Up, Rain!, Sleeping on the Wind, Yuri Paddles: Anime Convention Murder, and Witch You Want. Each one is available for free on PC (Windows, Linux, macOS), and some have also been ported to other platforms like Android and web browsers.
