About the Game
DOG WITCH combines the best of dice-driven roguelikes and deckbuilders to deliver a rich strategic experience. With quick runs, you’ll harness diverse item sets, discover new synergies and face a wide variety of wild enemy encounters, each requiring clever thinking to master. If you enjoy the strategic layering of games like Slay The Spire or the dice-rolling unpredictability of Dicey Dungeons, Dog Witch offers a deeply replayable adventure that will keep you discovering new angles run after run.
Each short run is packed with discovery: combine over 150 magical artifacts (and their corrupted counterparts), summon unpredictable allies, and master the whims of enchanted dice. Easy to pick up, hard to master.... Dog Witch rewards clever builds, bold experimentation, and the ability to adapt on the fly.
Battle gun-wielding Russian Dolls, vengeful Cat Ladies, and questionable Vending Machines. Each encounter is a chaotic puzzle, testing your synergy-building skills in unexpected ways.
Need friends? Summon Laser Ponies, gun-toting rats, skeleton sidekicks and more to fight by your side. Pair them with relics and spells to trigger clever chain reactions that tip even the wildest battles in your favor.
Once you think that you have mastered the game, try on different Dog Witch hats, each one introduces their own unique new twists and challenges which require clever new strategies to overcome.
Choose your fur, hat, bark, and even your chonk level. Recreate your own pet or conjure something cursed.
Roll dice and conjure synergy-driven spells in a captivating hypnotic trance, carried by dreamy trip-hop tunes and whimsical visuals. Feel the daily grind dissolve away as Dog Witch frees you from the everyday noise and gets you into the roguelike flow state.

Official update history
DOG WITCH's 2nd major update has arrived! And with it comes a bloodthirsty twist to its gameplay: actual deckbuilding.

"But isn't DOG WITCH already a deckbuilder?", you may ask. A dice unfortunately only has 6 sides, so it'd be silly to try and include more equipment to roll. So, the VAMPIRE HAT introduces true deckbuilding where you’ll be able to manipulate the amount of spells, books, bones, summons, wands, and stuns in your draw pool as your dice are turned into cards.

Not only does this put the great DOG WITCH into a cool b(r)atty outfit, but it also introduces some more vampiric abilities like 🦇Batform, letting you transform into an untargetable bat until the end of the round. Or ✨Glamour, a powerful shine of style that reduces all enemy resist to 0. Which is a handy ability when you use the default vampiric ability 🩸Suck Blood, which steals half of the target creature's HP, which also makes it target you with just as much strength!
Only the best vampires are able to use this ability well, so anyone who completes a vampiric run will be shown on the OFFICIAL LEADERBOARDS on Steam, based on your DOG WITCH's final health. Show your friends how bloodthirsty you are with this update!

The update is also releasing during Steam's Deckbuilder fest, so if you haven't already, you can grab DOG WITCH at 35% off!
BARK, HOWL, REJOICE! DOG WITCH's first free major content update is out of the spooky testing branch!
This update includes a hat like no other, the WEREWOLF HAT, which turns our magical canine friend into a fierce beast.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45620353/1c0e8cb2869bec9d651afe98a769139e7b146556.png"]
At first, the hat is just a nice brown accessory. But, if you roll a three-of-a-kind, all your dice get turned into strong werewolf abilities that will help you on your quest to defeat the Mad Master Wizard. Your wand charge is turned into FEROCITY, which you charge up by howling. You can use this ferocity to leech health with the move BITE. Or, with a full bar of ferocity, you can unleash the werewolf's great power into a devastating Pounce.
Your regular, non-werewolf gameplay still stays the same. But picking items now upgrades the werewolf's abilities throughout the run, which can help turn the tide of battles...
Of course, this great power invites new challenges. During your runs you'll find a new enemy on your route:

Introducing... the Carrot Girl. A new elite enemy at the end of the third zone. Why is she farming carrots in these dangerous mountains? No one will know. But she has the strength and swagger to prove her elite status. You'll find her carrots to be stronger versions of the big bad tree's vines. Maybe they're lining up nicely for a strong werewolf stun attack? Or perhaps that's exactly what she wants you to do...
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45620353/43dd463ddf90107732039a6fe956d987d23baec5.png"]
And of course, as promised, the end-run screen. It shows various stats like your total run time, average damage done, and how much mana you've wasted by not using your spells. We've also added a perfect run counter so you can finally show off your true no-DMG runs. How many summons did you sacrifice for that score, eh?
To all those who were on the Spooky Testing Branch, thank you for reporting bugs and testing this feisty hat. We won't leave the branch dormant though. We're working hard on the next major update to deliver the VAMPIRE HAT, so stay tuned!
Have fun slashing, dashing, and howling at your enemies in this new update!

The Demon Puppy Hat Has Arrived
Hello coven. The spooky bugs have been banished, the cauldron is calm again, and we finally get to release the thing we were excited about in the first place. Say hello to DOG WITCH’s newest little menace:
The Demon Puppy
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45620353/62ed748b9415a064306ce476709f2f6975cca3cb.png"]
The Demon Puppy Hat is for players who want a bit more room to explore strange builds and experiment with weird ideas. Demon Puppy hands out potions after every battle which lets you push deeper into runs that would normally fizzle out. The game is still challenging, it just gives you a few more tools to twist, tinker, and experiment with your builds.
Here is the full changelog for today’s update:
Demon Puppy Hat gives potions after every battle.
Quick Replay button starts the run fast and skips menus.
Retry Combat now skips menus to get you back into the start of the current battle, fast. Added “Hold r” to quick restart run. Keyboard only for now.
Better handling of Achievements when Steam connection is lost. Fixed some unachievable Achievements.
Big Bone now simply gives all allies +2 shield. Corrupted gives +3.
Romance Novel buffed. It only heals enemies for 1 instead of 7.
Your last played hat now loads automatically after you abandon, die, or win a run.
Fixed petting getting permanently stuck if you swapped parts mid pet.
Fixed corrupted prism ring interactions and a whole pile of additional tiny bugs.
Thank you for all your patience and support through this very theatrical patch cycle. You make this whole adventure so much fun.
Now go, defeat the undefeatable, achieve the unachievable. See what we did there?
If you want to join the chaos up close, hop into our Discord and help us shape the next batch of whatever those potions are made of.
