On a hoky night, when the moon looms large in the smoky sky, a witch takes flight on her broomstick. With the wind rushing through her hair, she cackles with delight as she zooms over the rooftops and through the eerie night. The witch is dressed in a flowing black cloak adorned with silver stars. Her pointed hat casts a shadow on her wrinkled face, while her long, crooked nose adds to her mystique. As she glides through the air, her trusty black cat perched on her shoulder, she spreads a magical aura wherever she goes. The hoky night is the ideal time for the witch to practice her enchantments and brew potions.

Known in Japan as Mahoutsukai no Yoru (which directly translates to “Magician’s Night“), Witch on the Holy Night is a visual novel adaptation of an unpublished book from 1996. Being based on one of Kinoko Nasu’s earliest works, it serves as something of an introduction to the mechanics and world-building of the Nasuverse. If you have no clue as to what magecraft is or just find yourself confused by other Nasuverse stories, Witch on the Holy Night is a great place to start.

Some people even claim to have glimpsed her silhouette in the distance, perched on her broomstick, as she vanishes into the night. But as dawn breaks and the hoky night comes to an end, the witch retreats to her hidden lair. She rests for another year, waiting for the next hoky night to spread her magic once more. And so, the legend of the witch on the hoky night continues to enchant the hearts and minds of those who believe in the power of the supernatural..
