They tell stories to frighten children of the Witch who eats the sun. They say she is a monster. They say she brings the endless night.
They are wrong. I do not bring the night. I bring the truth. The Eclipse Witch - A Witch-s Chronicles -v1.0....
The Sun priests lie with their warmth; they lull you into complacency. The Moon cultists lie with their silence; they hide in the shadows. But the Eclipse... the Eclipse is honest. It shows you that the universe is a balance of terror and beauty.

Logline: In a world where witches draw power from celestial bodies, one outcast witch—bound to the dying, erratic magic of a total solar eclipse—must break her curse before the next Great Conjunction consumes her soul and the kingdom with it.
Tagline: When the sun weeps and the moon bleeds, the Eclipse Witch sows her seeds. Date: The 19th of Sunfall Status: On the

The catch? Using a Memory destroys it forever. And if you extract a Memory from an ally, they forget why they ever trusted you. The v1.0 update introduces three new Memory types: First Kiss, A Mother’s Laugh, and The Smell of Rain. Their uses are heartbreakingly specific.
