Me neither, but you will soon be able to find out thanks to Beshbarmak Games\u2019 unusual psychological horror game <strong>F*ck You Witch. <\/strong>The game is set to be released for PC (Steam) in March 2024. The interface and subtitles are available in ten languages, with full audio support for English and Russian. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com\/steam\/apps\/257001327\/movie_max_vp9.webm?t=1708174842\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in the Kazakh Steppes, a vast region of open grassland that covers parts of Kazakhstan and Russia, you play as a guy whose best friend has just confessed her love for him. On top of that, you are suffering from strange hallucinations, including one of a creepy witch, that are taking over your life. The solution to tackling the witch? Grab your mic and learn to swear at her in Russian. If that sounds too difficult or your parents are in the room, then you can\u00a0hurl your obscenities by typing instead. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"476\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-header.jpg\" alt=\"Steam indie horror Fck you witch Beshbarmak games\" class=\"wp-image-27409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-header.jpg 900w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-header-380x201.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-header-768x406.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-header-600x317.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its brash title suggesting otherwise, it seems that this indie game will allow you to explore cultural aspects too. The developer seems to have named themselves after beshbarmak, which is a dish developed by nomads in Central Asia that is also one of the main national dishes of Kazakhstan. Part of the game will involve learning to cook this boiled meat and noodle dish. Other non-horror activities described in the game\u2019s humorous description will include learning about camels, saddling horses, taking a crash course in sewing, and even discussing philosophy with other characters.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"653\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-003.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-003-380x207.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-003-768x418.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-003-600x327.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"653\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-001-380x207.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-001-768x418.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-001-600x327.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As shown in the screenshots, it&nbsp;seems that you will get to explore several different atmospheric environments including yurts and an old Soviet-era apartment. The game describes itself as a walking sim&nbsp;with point-and-click adventure game-style mechanics, allowing you to examine and interact with objects. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"653\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-002.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-002-380x207.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-002-768x418.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240219-27396-002-600x327.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, F*ck You Witch looks like quirky game with an unusual setting and concept- with its combination of horror and humor calling to mind cult Japanese horror game Deadly Premonition. It promises an interesting storyline playable in around 3 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>F*ck You Witch is scheduled to be released for PC (<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2736020\/Fuck_You_Witch\/\">Steam<\/a>) in March.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reminiscent of Deadly Premonition in its quirkiness, F*ck You Witch is a psychological horror game that combines Kazakh nomadic culture with swearing through your mic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":27409,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[62,3],"tags":[39],"class_list":["post-27396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indie-games","category-news","tag-indie-games"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
