The Witch's House (Majo no Ie) is a freeware puzzle-oriented horror game by Fummy, made with RPG Maker VX. A young girl named Viola has gone to visit her friend, Ellen, who lives in the woods. However, those same woods are said to be haunted by a Wicked Witch who kidnaps children. When Viola finds her way blocked by magical roses, it seems that her only option is to enter the eponymous witch's house and find a way to break the spell, in hopes of reuniting with Ellen. Accompanied by a snarky talking black cat, Viola must navigate the dangers of the house and its murderous inhabitants.An English translation of the game can be downloaded here.The game also followed by The Witch's House: The Diary of Ellen, a spoiler-heavy prequel novel which stars Ellen and also explains the origins of the Witch.

All Witches Have Cats | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_138fe57e | comment |
All Witches Have Cats: A talking black cat, who seems to live in the house, serves as something of a guide and a helper (and a save point) to the protagonist. The cat is in fact possessed by the demon who gave the witch her powers, so the "cat" is actually the master in the relationship. | |

All There in the Manual: The Diary of Ellen provides a massive amount of backstory for the primary characters and gives insight as to how the rules of the world work. The remake's Extra Mode difficulty has some additional text that touches upon the details provided by the novel. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Normal Ending: If you manage to just escape from the final chase, Viola finally reunite with her father, only for The Witch suddenly appear and barely follows Viola outside the house. Although luckily, her father kills it just in time and they hurry to leave. We last see Viola giving the house a long look before leaving. True Ending: If you able to pick up Ellen's knife in the cabinet before escaping the house, Viola will use it to stab the witch's eye & taunts her when she can no longer continue to chase her, followed by the reveal that she is, in fact, Ellen, having traded bodies with the real Viola. Ellen also explains how she managed to do it before Viola's father appears, who's mistaking Viola to be Ellen in her crippled body and proceed to kills her with his shotgun. Viola's father and Ellen give a brief look before leaving, with her pausing for a second to giggles. After that, the black cat appears for a moment before it disappears along with the body. Extra True Ending: Obtained by fulfilling the True Ending conditions on Extra Mode in the remake. It is a slightly extended version of the True Ending. Returning the front of the house before leaving will cause the predecessor witch/the house's spirit to appear before Ellen before the house disintegrates. The final scene is appended by an added monologue by Ellen, who realizes that Viola finally gave up after her father failed to recognize her. Pseudo Third Ending: This is an additional event before the either two ending above and acquired by not interacting to the cat at all throughout the game until you reach the witch's room, which means you have to beat it without saving your progress and dying once (Except when you talk to the cat in a certain hallway). Instead of lying on the floor, the black cat is still alive, and will congratulate you and wish you well, and reveal his true identity as the demon who gave Ellen her powers. There's also some change in the witch's room such as the items descriptions change to reflect that the protagonist is the one who owns them as Ellen, the diary entry changes to describe what happened during the body swap, the Legless Girl (Viola) struggling to say "Give it back" before chasing Viola (Ellen), the room's name in the save file change from "The Witch's Room" to "My Room", and if you look closely to Viola's portrait on the menu, she has a small smirk on her face. '____' Ending: Ellen waits outside the house for 60 minutes until the roses blocking the path disappears. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Getting the "True Ending" requires an extremely irrational detour. During the final confrontation, where Viola chases you through the house until you make it outside, you have to run past the front door, go open a previously-locked cabinet to get a knife, strafe around the corpse chasing you to get back out of the room, and then run outside. The only hint about this secret is that if you examined that cupboard early in the game, it says it "opens when the house has returned to normal." You can't go back in after escaping the house, either. | |

Deal with the Devil: The Witch is said to be in one with a demon, who can't use its powers to kill in our world, so she sacrifices souls to it in exchange for magic. Ellen entered the contract because the demon said he could cure her illness. | |

Difficulty Levels | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_29428ef | comment |
Difficulty Levels: MV has three, Easy, Normal, and Extra. Easy Mode gives you the ability to reload from the place that you died instead of being sent back to the title screen. Normal Mode is the original game. Extra Mode is a Harder Than Hard difficulty that remixes the puzzles, making them brutally challenging. Some of the text in this difficulty is also changed to reflect the additional lore explained in The Diary of Ellen. | |

Missing Child: A child going missing, and you possibly never seeing them again, or knowing what happened to them. A child being lured away by a seemingly kind stranger, who does not have kind intentions. The idea of horrible things happening to your child, and you never even finding out about it. It's impossible to not feel extremely sad for Viola's father. Or the parents of the countless children whom Ellen has murdered over several centuries. | |

The Farmer and the Viper: Viola, feeling sorry for how Ellen was so ill that she couldn't even get out of her bed, allowed her to switch bodies with her "for a day". In return, "Viola" left "Ellen" in a body that she herself mutilated (cutting off her own legs and gouging out her own eyes), and forced burning "medicine" down her throat to render her mute. And that's before the start of the game. | |

We Used to Be Friends: Viola clearly cared a lot about Ellen, as one book states that the body-swapping spell required a bond of sincere trust to succeed. When Ellen betrayed her, Viola was forced to try trapping and killing her to get her body back. | |

Genius Loci: The eponymous witch's house, which has a mind of its own and actively helps the player with notes containing hints about the game's puzzles. The prequel novel reveals that the house's consciousness is actually the spirit of the demon's original witch, who "retired" for reasons unknown. She is completely loyal to Ellen and recognizes her as her mistress, even though she is now in Viola's body and has lost her magic, hence all the helpful notes. | |

Cats Are Mean | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_58e43f17 | comment |
Cats Are Mean: Zigzagged. A black cat follows the protagonist throughout the witch's house, providing friendly chatter and acting as a save point. While he comes off as aloof at times, he seems genuinely concerned about her. However, he isn't really a cat at all, he is a demon who merely uses cat bodies as hosts to interact with the physical world. Not only that, but he is also the very demon who gave the witch her powers, so she could feed him human souls. | |

| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_5a36f8bc | comment |
Not His Sled: The main source of difficulty in the Extra mode: attempting to solve puzzles with the solutions they had in the original game will either be fruitless or end in your death. For example, an early game puzzle requires you to put the Book of Death inside a bookcase. In Extra Mode, the bookcase which you needed to insert the book into in normal mode is now blue instead of red. Attempting to put the book in anyway results in the bookcase falling on you. What you are actually supposed to do is find a hidden red bookcase. | |

Brought Down to Normal: Ellen loses her abilities as a Witch upon gaining Viola's body. Conversely, Viola now has Ellen's former powers now that she is in Ellen's body, which allows her to, among other things, gain a Witch's immortality (a Fate Worse than Death considering what Ellen did to her) and trap Ellen with a large mass of impassable roses right outside the house. | |

Evil Laugh: After you read "A Funny Story", you hear a pretty demented laugh and see one of the chairs in the library rock in rhythm with it. In the MV mode, it does this as it kills you. Ellen, in Viola's body, gives a wicked little (soundless) snicker after Viola's father shoots Viola (in Ellen's body). | |

Driven to Suicide: When you first enter the library, there's an invisible person who says that they are sorting books and need something to tie them together. After you give him a rope to solve a puzzle, the person thanks you. If you backtrack to the room after that, you'll find that he tied the rope into a noose and killed himself. The prequel reveals that he's the trapped soul of a boy that befriended and eventually "betrayed" Ellen. If you return to the garden after getting the purple doll head and go to the room on the right, you'll see that the red grasses hanging from the ceiling. Though they may or may not have been attempting suicide, as other clues in the room seem to indicate the house may have done it. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Entering the cell on the right side of the dungeon on the fifth floor. Doing so is completely optional, as it contains nothing of note aside from an extra jump scare, but accessing it requires the player to perform a precise series of actions at exactly the right time that you're very unlikely to figure out on your own, as the game offers absolutely no clues. In fact, without a guide, most players will never realize that it's even possible to enter the right side cell. At one point, the player must solve a math/logic puzzle, finding the numbers that correspond with the top-left corner, the top-right corner, the bottom-left corner, and the bottom-right corner of the room in that respective order to obtain a 4-digit code that will open the door to the next area. As of version 1.07, translator vgperson has removed this puzzle from the game, and the MV remake lacks it as well. Extra Mode in the remake, befitting a Harder Than Hard mode, has some very obtuse puzzle solutions. For example, the modified doll puzzle has dolls on the tables that don't correspond to the table cloths. Have you tried flipping the table cloth over? Getting the "True Ending" requires an extremely irrational detour. During the final confrontation, where Viola chases you through the house until you make it outside, you have to run past the front door, go open a previously-locked cabinet to get a knife, strafe around the corpse chasing you to get back out of the room, and then run outside. The only hint about this secret is that if you examined that cupboard early in the game, it says it "opens when the house has returned to normal." You can't go back in after escaping the house, either. | |

Behind the Black: In the Extra Mode version of the "wall eyes" puzzle, all of the eyes on the wall are open, but the hint is still the same. The solution is on the opposite wall, which also has eyes and mouths on it but because of the top-down perspective it is hidden from the player's view. | |

Solitary Sorceress | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_9793f1b9 | comment |
Solitary Sorceress: How the witch lives. Her house is isolated from civilization, in the middle of the woods. This makes it easier to manipulate the forest to cause victims to lose their way and reach her house. The house will kill any who wander in, if the witch wishes it. This would not be possible if the house is in the middle of a village. | |

Press X to Die: A lot of the really obvious ways to die are usually preempted by the game making absolutely sure you want to go ahead with whatever you're doing. The ones that don't are so dang obvious that you'd most likely have to be intentionally trying to kill yourself. | |

A Day in the Limelight: "The Diary of Ellen" is a novel written from the point of view of Viola's friend, Ellen. Technically subverted since Ellen is actually the protagonist in Viola's body. A straighter example would be the real Viola, the Hero Antagonist- Chapter 4 and the Epilogue are written from her point of view. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: "A Funny Story." Both it and the game ends with a hunter killing someone near and dear to him because of a misunderstanding. The fact that a number of the actions you take in the game fall under Cruelty Is the Only Option foreshadows that your player character is a cruel Villain Protagonist. The giant spider is a metaphor for the demon keeping Ellen in the house with an ill and broken body. The web is the house. Of course, Ellen can't safely leave on her own, which is why the spider will eat you if you take the butterfly without replacing it with the butterfly model. If Ellen does leave, the magic of the house will wear off and she will be subject to the painful symptoms of her illness. It is presumed that, after Ellen gives up and despairs, she will die and the demon will then eat her. The butterfly swap represents Ellen switching places with Viola to free herself. After choosing the right path in the mouth hallway, there are some spikes right next to the door, out of your way. Deliberately stepping on them causes Viola to die. If you reload the game and go back to the same area, you'll notice that the spikes are now bloody, implying that Viola really died there and is being repeatedly brought back to life. | |

Abusive Parents: Detailed in the novel; the Demon and the House isolated Ellen in order to raise her to become their next witch, slowly turning her into a heartless murderer (although she herself was already a violent narcissist, the demon only needing to exacerbate it). The Demon likely did the same thing with the House, who was his original witch. Also, Ellen’s birth parents aren’t prize-winners as well, but they fall more under Parental Neglect. | |

Pseudo Third Ending: This is an additional event before the either two ending above and acquired by not interacting to the cat at all throughout the game until you reach the witch's room, which means you have to beat it without saving your progress and dying once (Except when you talk to the cat in a certain hallway). Instead of lying on the floor, the black cat is still alive, and will congratulate you and wish you well, and reveal his true identity as the demon who gave Ellen her powers. There's also some change in the witch's room such as the items descriptions change to reflect that the protagonist is the one who owns them as Ellen, the diary entry changes to describe what happened during the body swap, the Legless Girl (Viola) struggling to say "Give it back" before chasing Viola (Ellen), the room's name in the save file change from "The Witch's Room" to "My Room", and if you look closely to Viola's portrait on the menu, she has a small smirk on her face. | |

Death by Despair | |

When Viola finally comes face-to-face with the witch, all that's left of her is her mangled upper body. In the third pseudo-ending, it's revealed that Ellen cut her legs off and gouged her eyes out so that Viola would despair and die (see Death by Despair). To add insult to injury, Ellen gave Viola a throat-burning "medicine" so that she would no longer be able to scream or even speak, as the sound of her old body screaming upset Ellen. This was to ensure Viola died, because a witch's immortality and glamour fails if she suffers great despair, according to the novel. | |

When you return to the kitchen and dining room area, you find it much darker than it was when you were there earlier, and is eerily quiet, save for the sound of a pot boiling on the stove. In order to progress, you need to take a pair of golden chopsticks from the ribs of a skeleton in the cellar at the back of the kitchen (which was inaccessible earlier), to retrieve a necessary item from the boiling pot. The game won't let you exit the room without returning the chopsticks to the skeleton, and if you put them back anywhere besides the ribs, the cook from before will suddenly appear and kill you as you try to leave the kitchen. Furthermore, after replacing the chopsticks in the ribs and heading back to the dining room, you'll hear ominous footsteps coming down the stairs beside the kitchen, and you have five seconds to run back to the chimney and escape; if not, the cook will catch you and kill you. Meaning, the whole time you're down there, the cook is still lurking around somewhere, probably watching you, but you can't see him, though why he's suddenly so eager to kill you is unclear — it's likely because you messed with his cooking, found his cellar full of handless skeletons, or both. | |

Harder Than Hard: The "Extra" mode added in the remake, which is only unlocked after beating the game at least once on regular difficulty. It makes most of the puzzles far more difficult, and adds a lot more ways to die, including making enemies much harder to evade during chase sequences. | |

Solve the Soup Cans: You never get through a locked door by using a key, at least in the normal way. The game hangs a lampshade on this in the library where one book reads "Keys do not open doors in the witch's house. Something else must serve as a key." It's justified since the witch controls reality in the house, so the place doesn't have to obey the normal laws of the universe or common sense. | |

However, unlike the original puzzle, not only is the Toy Soldier relatively benign its gun is actually required to solve part of the new puzzle. Subverted when it chases you afterwards. | |

Shout-Out | |

Shout-Out: Viola can be eaten by a grand piano. You find a pair of red shoes, which are bad if you put them on but can be turned into glass shoes which are good, like in Cinderella (the versions that use glass shoes). Ellen's appearance may be a reference to Hanyuu's. Small, cute, purple hair, actually a terrifying, powerful, and widely feared supernatural being. There's a sobbing statue of a woman within the house. If you turn your back on it and ignore it, it will kill you. To fellow RPG Maker horror game Ib; one of the pursuers is a living painting. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: There is one room which is completely dark and can only traverse if you have a certain item. Even with said certain item, however, you only have a small bit of light as you walk through very narrow halls. And as you make your way back to the door, you drop it, causing the last few seconds of that stage to be completed in complete darkness, with the sounds of statues moving all around. It's even worse if you decide to open the menu, because you'll see the normally innocent-looking Viola look absolutely demonic. When you return to the kitchen and dining room area, you find it much darker than it was when you were there earlier, and is eerily quiet, save for the sound of a pot boiling on the stove. In order to progress, you need to take a pair of golden chopsticks from the ribs of a skeleton in the cellar at the back of the kitchen (which was inaccessible earlier), to retrieve a necessary item from the boiling pot. The game won't let you exit the room without returning the chopsticks to the skeleton, and if you put them back anywhere besides the ribs, the cook from before will suddenly appear and kill you as you try to leave the kitchen. Furthermore, after replacing the chopsticks in the ribs and heading back to the dining room, you'll hear ominous footsteps coming down the stairs beside the kitchen, and you have five seconds to run back to the chimney and escape; if not, the cook will catch you and kill you. Meaning, the whole time you're down there, the cook is still lurking around somewhere, probably watching you, but you can't see him, though why he's suddenly so eager to kill you is unclear — it's likely because you messed with his cooking, found his cellar full of handless skeletons, or both. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: There are some very creative deaths in there for doing particularly stupid things. There are also a couple of deaths that are extremely easy to miss because they're so out of the way. For example: If you come back into the room where you picked up the frog after killing him (there's absolutely no reason you ever would), a giant black hand comes out of the pool to crush you. You can also be sandwiched between two giant skulls in the tunnel that leads to the Skull puzzle if you return there (again, there's no reason to ever do so). By far the most obscure, and easily one of the most bizarre and creepy deaths: when you climb down the chimney on the fourth floor, you will find yourself back in the dining room on the first floor, which is now dark and has male bust statues sitting around the table. If you try to open the door in the kitchen that leads to the second floor stairs, you will find it is now locked. If you go back up the chimney and descend down the floors to the stairs leading to the first floor, and attempt to open the door from the other side, you will still find it locked. When you turn back, a male bust statue will suddenly appear in front of you. If you don't get out of its way, the statue will promptly crush you to death. The Extra Mode of the MV remake has even more out of the way deaths. The best example is when you are given water to throw on the grandfather clock in the garden area to silence it. If you instead decide to backtrack all the way to the first floor of the house and use it on the first floor grandfather clock, the music will stop, then when she exits the hallway, she will end up in a black void with no exit, eventually the screen will darken until it becomes pitch black while clock chimes can be heard. In the room with the clock puzzle, you need to select an item that corresponds to the clues the note gives you. Select all of the items but the correct one, and if you read the note again, it will now ask you if you meant to answer wrong on purpose. Nod, and the statues placed on either side of you will crush you between them. If you drink the poisonous soup and then try to read the letter in your inventory, it will say that your vision is getting too blurry to read it. | |

Schmuck Bait | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_d2c0e2ed | comment |
Schmuck Bait: Don't step on that blood pool in the middle of the first note room. Don't lend the invisible chef a hand (unless it's not yours). Don't read The Book of Death. And don't touch the clock on the fourth floor. There's also one room where Viola is explicitly told to let nothing distract her, and doing anything but walking in a straight line to the exit, such as investigating items or dodging (fake) traps, results in her being crushed by a boulder. One of the best examples is the spikes to the side of one of the doors. You don't need to dodge them, as they're out of the way, so basically the only way to die from the spikes is to voluntarily walk into them. If the game asks you if you really want to do something, you could possibly die from it. The modified flower puzzle in Extra Mode involves a candle. However, as it belongs to one of the Yellow Flowers, she politely tells you that you can't take it. Repeatedly attempting to take the candle will cause the Yellow Flower become increasingly exasperated at your persistence, and if you attempt to take the candle too many times she teleports behind you and kills you. | |

The Witch is also extremely determined. She chases you despite having no legs, no eyes, no voice, and should be dead that point. Justified as Viola is not only is royally angered at Ellen for what she did to her, but she also wants to hurry back to her father's side. Despite how much pain she's in, she doesn't give up. The only thing that stops her is hitting the Despair Event Horizon when she sees that Ellen has won. | |

The girl (really Ellen) is a determinator not just in trying to escape the house, but in how far she's willing to go just to get a body that doesn't hurt. The lengths she went to get Viola's body are quite extreme. The Witch is also extremely determined. She chases you despite having no legs, no eyes, no voice, and should be dead that point. Justified as Viola is not only is royally angered at Ellen for what she did to her, but she also wants to hurry back to her father's side. Despite how much pain she's in, she doesn't give up.

Whereas Ellen just wants to be loved, the Demon, while humorous, cares only for his insatiable appetite. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": Parodied in a sense with the books and articles. Where it would read "die" or "killed" or the like, it instead just reads "X". Averted when the tadpoles outright tell you that their father is dead, and you killed him. Also averted in the Extra True Ending. In the True Ending, Ellen's last words to Viola are interrupted by the sudden appearance of Viola's Father. However, in Extra Mode, Ellen finishes her sentence right before Viola's Father appears, and the word in question is accompanied by the screen darkening and the music suddenly cutting out for one text box. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: Played with. The only "happy" ending, given the True End Reveal, is to work through most of the game without dying, then letting the "witch" catch you in her chase scene, presumably allowing Viola to return to her original body. Although one book states that the body-swapping spell required a bond of genuine trust to succeed, and since Ellen is too sociopathic for such a bond to work, and since Viola's trust in Ellen was broken irreparably by the latter's horrible betrayal, that won't be happening anytime soon. | |

Haunted House | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_f9439c84 | comment |
Haunted House: The eponymous witch's house. It's actually a living being, as the spirit of the witch who lived there before Ellen, and the one providing the hints she finds throughout the game. | |

No-Damage Run | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_fac8c4d6 | comment |
No-Damage Run: If you manage to get through the game without dying and not interacting with the black cat even once, you get a bit of extra dialogue at the end. Right before you get to the Witch's room, where you would normally only find the cat's corpse, you will instead find him alive and can speak to him. He praises Ellen for not needing his help, before abandoning the cat's body and fleeing the house, revealing his true demonic form as a cloud of purple mist. | |

You Killed My Father | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_fb6b207f | comment |
You Killed My Father: You can be killed by the frog's tadpoles in revenge for feeding their father to a monster earlier. You can speak with them twice and be safe- the third time, the floor collapses underneath you and you drown. | |

Cruelty Is the Only Option | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_fc25c2fb | comment |
The fact that a number of the actions you take in the game fall under Cruelty Is the Only Option foreshadows that your player character is a cruel Villain Protagonist. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: The white flower will politely ask how you're doing, but if you don't kill her just right when the time comes, she will end you. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You | |
| The Witch's House (Video Game) / int_ffd816e7 | comment |
Everything Trying to Kill You: Viola can meet her end by sliding walls, getting eaten by a piano, being shot by a giant toy soldier, having a grandfather clock fall on her, a flower impaling her when she tries to uproot it... You're either going to get paranoid and possibly survive, or get through by Trial-and-Error Gameplay. The prequel also reveals that all the inhabitants of the house are the spirits of people killed by Ellen in the past. Since Ellen has no magic or immortality now that she's in Viola's body, it's no surprise that her past victims want their revenge. | |
