Games Like The Witch of the Wake

Following the mysterious death of a crewmate,  the opium clipper The Witch of the Wake must make a unscheduled stop on their way to Canton. Loaded down with illicit cargo, the unexpected detour weighs heavily on the crew spirits. To make matters worse, not long after picking up a young man in Penang, strange -- almost supernatural -- occurrences begin plaguing the ship; sowing dissent and causing the crew to turn against each other.

Nieve Torres, navigator aboard the vessel, is left fighting for her life to combat these sinister forces... but is this unknown threat the only thing standing in the way of survival?

Terror and tragedy abound, Nieve is left navigating not just rough waters, but her fellow crewmates, as well.

The Witch of the Wake is a seafaring supernatural horror/thriller visual novel inspired by media such as The Thing, The Terror, and Return of the Obra Dinn.

This game incorporates mature content and themes including physical violence, suggestive sexual content, drug abuse, and visual and written depictions of gore.
