n Maleficium Fall of the Witch Hunters, you take on the role of a voice of reason during the 17th-century English witch trials. While fear, superstition, and harsh laws fuel the persecution, you work to expose injustice through Enlightenment ideals, tolerance, and critical thinking.

This strategy game features area influence, resource management, and tactical decision-making, all set against the backdrop of one of history’s most notorious moral panics. Every turn, you’ll gather influence, confront witch-hunters, and push for reform, competing to be remembered as the one who ended the trials
