Hello everyone,

I remember downloading a shareware point and click adventure in the early-mid 1990s from a local BBS. VGA graphics, adlib/soundblaster music, and in it you played as a "witch" during possibly the Salem witch trials. I remember clearly walking into town and there being a screen where there were several people hanging in the background while shocking music played. Another screen I remember is in the woods behind the town, where you would encounter a demon that looked like a person with a pig head.

I've searched for this several times over the past few years, going manually through the adventure section in Home of the Underdogs and even Mobygames. I haven't been able to find anything on this game, so I think it was probably just uploaded to the local BBS of the author (I was living in Worcester, MA USA at that time). I am pretty certain this was before 1997, and I don't think it was made using AGS.

I know this is a long shot, but I wonder if anyone here has any leads on this?

I have no idea what game this was. Was it maybe a demo? If people here don't come up with something, try reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmyjoystick/

EDIT: Is it in this list? https://dosgames.com/listing.php?sortby=namea … l&publisher=all

WOW!!!!! This is 100% it, thank you so much!! That's amazing, too, that every single thing I mentioned is right there in the trailer haha.

Thanks again, maybe it's not a good game at all, but I'm excited to try it again now.
