Witch You Want on Mac: a magical temp job with feelings attached
Witch You Want opens with a glittery, last-minute job listing: a local witch needs an assistant immediately to help brew enough potions for the upcoming town festival. You’re between jobs, the pay sounds real, and the situation is suspiciously urgent—so you sign on, not entirely sure what you’re walking into.
What you’re walking into is a small apothecary (and a larger personality). The witch in question is pompous, possibly in over her head, and determined to keep her potion shop afloat by selling at the festival. The problem: time. The solution: you. Over the course of the story, the game asks a few key questions: can you two actually pull this off before the weekend? can you make a potion that won’t explode emotionally (or literally)? and, most importantly, will this endearing girlfailure witch worm her way into your heart?
Visual novel romance with a task list (and a witchy minigame)
At its core, Witch You Want is a cute yuri visual novel that leans into its premise: working side-by-side under pressure is an efficient way to create chemistry. Expect a story that’s built around interpersonal moments, shifting circumstances, and a “festival deadline” that gives the narrative a steady forward drive.
The big gameplay break from pure VN reading is the potion-making minigame. It’s there to reinforce the assistant fantasy: you’re not just watching the witch stress out—you’re helping. The minigame also acts as pacing relief between scenes, and it fits the theme nicely: learning to craft (or fumble) potions becomes part of how your partnership develops.
Make your MC: character creation in a romance VN
One of the standout features is a character creator for your female main character. For VN fans who like to feel at home in their protagonist (or simply enjoy customizing their avatar), it’s a welcome touch that helps the roleplay land: you’re not just “a generic assistant,” you’re your assistant.
Branching vibes: “a variety of ways for events to happen”
Witch You Want emphasizes that its story can unfold in different ways. Without spoiling specifics, the promise here is choice-driven variation—moments that can change based on what you do, how scenes play out, and how your relationship develops. If you enjoy VNs where the journey isn’t identical every run, this is the kind of structure that rewards a second pass.
Who is this for?
- Yuri VN fans who want romance with a playful premise and a clearly romanceable witch.
- Cozy narrative players who like low-stakes tension (a deadline, a shop to save) rather than combat.
- Players who appreciate light interactivity in their VNs via a minigame that supports the story.
- Festival-and-fantasy enjoyers who like small-town magic, apothecaries, and potion economies.
