- Enhanced Edition Version 2 is live! - 27 August 2026
Hello there! It's been awhile!A new update for Knight Bewitched released today:Revised the script (again)Fixed a crash that could happen in the final dungeon...And that's it!ContextI recently broke my long hiatus to release some much-needed QoL updates for the Android version of the Enhanced Edition. The updates were extensive enough that I needed to replay the story from the beginning, and, well... I found myself being so unsatisfied with the writing that I decided to go through and rewrite every major cutscene in the game. Again. While NPCs and minor scenes remain mostly the same, every major cutscene has been revised in one way or another. Needless to say, the script has been substantially improved.I will admit that, while this was a huge undertaking, it's a relatively small update in the grand scheme of things, and it probably isn't worth playing through the entire game a 2nd or 3rd…
- 5-23-2023 Winterfall Cavern Update - 23 May 2023
Hello! Over the years I've received a few reports of players getting soft-locked on the Winterfall Cavern wisps. This is a confusing bug as I've never been able to replicate it, and it doesn't seem to happen to everyone. That said, it does seem to be a legit issue, so I implemented a shortcut: Facing the circled tile here will allow you to bypass the wisp puzzles. That's all! Have a good one!

- 7-31-22 Achievements fix - 31 July 2022
Hello, I've released an update today addressing achievements: After completing the Sealed Tower, speaking with the nun in Halonia's middle section (where the statue room is) will refresh achievements. Due to how the Strife fight was set up, you'll get the achievement for defeating him regardless of if you've challenged him or not. All achievements involving defeating the final boss could not be included in this fix. If you want these achievements, you'll need to defeat the final boss again. Many apologies for the troubles. If you encounter any issues with this update, feel free to leave a comment or send me an email: Jkweath (@) gmail.com.
- The Absinthia Kickstarter's Final Push - 27 June 2022
Hello everyone! The Absinthia campaign has made it far thanks to everyone who's played Knight Bewitched and helped its crowdfunding campaign last year. Thanks to your efforts, we're currently at 82% funding as of this writing. Though the campaign's performed well up to this point, the reality is that we're still 18% short of the base goal (about $3,600 as of this writing). Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing platform, so if we don't reach the goal, then we don't receive any funds. If you haven't pledged already, now is the time to do so. If you don't want to or can't afford to pledge, you can still help support the project by following and/or retweeting my Kickstarter links. If you're interested in making a pledge, here's an overview of the rewards: Tier 1: Digital Key Tier 2: Digital Key, OST & Desktop Wallpapers Tier 3: Bewitched Bundle (digital keys for Knight Bewitched: Enhanced Editio…

Forgive me!) The Absinthia Kickstarter I'm still working on accruing followers for the Kickstarter campaign as well as securing a publishing deal for a Nintendo Switch port.

- Knight Bewitched news and Absinthia Kickstarter + demo - 23 March 2022
Hello everyone! I wanted to take an opportunity to share a few fun tidbits about Knight Bewitched followed by some news for my upcoming title Absinthia. First, Knight Bewitched is coming up on its 4-year anniversary! Originally released on April 18, 2018, Knight Bewitched was my 2nd official release. As most of you (should) know, I updated Knight Bewitched to the Enhanced Edition in August of last year, completely overhauling the game with new content, features and a much needed dialogue pass. To date, Knight Bewitched has sold about 5,800 copies on Steam. With Steam key activations, that number goes up to 9,700. Adding in purchases from other sites like Itch.io, Aldorlea.org and the Google Play store, I'm guessing the total number of copies sold rests somewhere around 15,000! Absinthia With that out of the way, let's talk about our upcoming title Absinthia! Make sure to stop by the Ste…
