Blight

Imagine a world gripped by environmental devastation and widespread disease. Men and women hold their beliefs close, looking to the stars for answers. The stars answer, or rather their appointed magistrates do, delivering scripture that describes humans with the power and intent to bring upon this destruction. United by a common enemy, society copes by scapegoating the vulnerable and underrepresented who fit this description. Historically, this has been the very foundation of the witch trials. 

 Blight is a 2D Adventure video game about modern-day witch trials. It focuses on the societal upheaval, involvement of the church, and economic downturn that resulted in witch hunting, reimagining these tragic events in the 21st century.
