Hogwarts Legacy released last week and it's become one of Steam's most popular games. But you know what else was released last week? Itch.io's Trans Witches are Witches bundle, which provides you with 69 super nice magical games for the price of one triple-A title from a terf.
To be fair to WB Games, they've said on more than one occasion that J.K. Rowling has had no input on the development of Hogwarts Legacy, but she's certainly still profiting from the game's blockbuster release. So to bring attention to LGBTQ+ game creators, KRITIQAL and Itch.io have given us a fantasy bundle of indie titles that will bring just as much enjoyment to players.
Initially, the bundle had a goal of $6,000, but that was smashed within the first few hours of Trans Witches are Witches bundle going live. Since Friday, the bundle has smashed through its $12,000, $24,000, and $48,000 goals, and is closing in on $96,000. Currently, the bundle has raised $83,612.22, which will be split evenly among the game creators.
Because there are 69 titles in this bundle, I won't have the time to talk about them all, but I will talk about Magic Trick, a skateboarding adventure game where you explore a whimsical city as a wizard skateboarder. Who needs a broom when you've got a rockin' deck? Think Tony Hawk meets OlliOlli World with a dash of magic and you've got the right idea.
Or how about Dream Afar? This one's a physical tabletop RPG where you play as a group of interdimensional guardians fighting the eternal Rift to protect the multiverse. This game uses an innovative token-based system to determine how many strong moves they can take, and also a social system that can bestow tokens or take them from your friends, which doesn't sound too friendly.
And then there's Magic D8, a storytelling game that's played over days or even weeks. And as the name implies, there's a magic d8 involved. "Reimagine the happenings in your life, find the positive, and figure out how to deal with the fact that your neighbor might just be a vampire."
The Trans Witches are Witches bundle will be available from now until February 24.
