Chucklefish announced their new project, Witchbrook, a while back, but we got a sneak peek at some gorgeous new artwork and the official Witchbrook website today. There still aren't many details about the school, but it's clear that Chucklefish has made a major overhaul of Witchbrook's art style.
Game Informer first spotted the changes and the new website earlier today.
If this is your first time hearing about Witchbrook, it's basically Stardew Valley meets Harry Potter. You play as a young witch attending a school of magic, and you will work to develop your magical skills as well as developing the surrounding town and, of course, your relationships.
It's unclear if we can expect any magical weddings, but you'll at least have to decide on a prom date.
The image above is what Witchbrook first looked like. It's smooth and pleasant enough, but we can't deny that it's a bit sterile too.
And this is what it looks like now:
It's officially isometric now too, and it's interesting how a slight tilt in perspective helps bring character and life to the game.
Here's one more, just for good measure - and because there's a pixel squirrel on the tree in the lower right.
Chucklefish says he can't confirm an expected release date or platforms for Witchbrook just yet, but plans to post updates on Twitter as they happen.
The original story is over on Game Informer, or you can also head over to the official Witchbrook site. Stay tuned to GameSkinny for more Witchbrook news as it emerges from the cauldron.
