Witchaven
Descend into a dark and gruesome nightmare! You alone must face evil within the volcanic pit of the Island of Char, toward the mystical lair of Witchaven. Confront witches that have cast a shadow of evil spells shrouding you in the never-ending darkness. Make use of your magic, might and mind as you engage in bloody warfare with vile demons and monsters. Use medieval weapons to destroy these creatures of the night and cease the chaos. Dare to enter this 3D Hell...Dare to enter Witchaven!
Duck, jump and fly! Using the powerful "Build" engine, exclusively from 3D REALMS, Witchaven has a greater degree of movement, perspective, flight and control...it's like no other first-person game!

Mit Hexen hatte die Bevölkerung von Stazhia nie viel am Hut. Ihre Sorge galt eher dem Inselvulkan Char, der eines Tages ausbrechen und ihre Welt in Schutt und Asche legen könnte. Aber es kommt schlimmer: Char war unbemerkt zu einer Insel des Bösen geworden, auf der eine Gruppe mÀchtiger Hexen alles Sein korrumpiert.
Unter dem Vulkan und der Welt von Stazhia erstreckt sich ein gigantisches Labyrinth, der âWitchavenâ. Es wird gemunkelt, daĂ tief unter dem Vulkan ein mĂ€chtiger DĂ€mon haust, der den Hexen im Gegenzug fĂŒr Menschenopfer enorme KrĂ€fte verleiht.
Sie sind auserwÀhlt worden, um mit Ihren Verstand, den besten Waffen und der stÀrksten Magie des Volkes den Hexengilden den Garaus zu machen. Capstone prÀsentiert mit Witchaven ein hervorragendes und richtungsweisendes 3D-Action-Game mit Rollenspiel-Elementen.

WHAT'S INSIDE THIS RELEASE
You're getting two builds: patched (Enhanced) and retail (Original) for those of you who prefer an unaltered experience as a bonus. Both builds are running on DOSBox with a custom configuration tool. The Enhanced build features fixes introduced in EGwhaven, a must-have community project, which addresses an array of bugs and issues with the game (we'd like to thank ETTiNGRiNDER for the contribution to this release). Additionally, the controls are re-mapped to what you'd expect to see as a default in a first-person game nowadays.
