On a dark and holy night, a witch emerged from the depths of the forest. The moon shone brightly, casting an eerie glow on the surroundings. The witch, dressed in flowing black robes, carried a broomstick and a cauldron, ready to perform her magical rituals. As she ventured deeper into the night, the witch could hear the whispers of the trees and the rustling of leaves beneath her feet. The air was thick with anticipation, for this was a night of great significance and power. It was a night when the veil between the worlds was at its thinnest, allowing for magical beings to cross over and commune with the spirits.

Witch on the holy night

It’s a visual novel, and we HEAVILY emphasize the novel portion.
Of the hundreds of visual novels on the Switch and the dozens I’ve played, all of them have had some form of interaction: be it investigations, minigames, or even just the occasional dialogue tree. Witch on the Holy Night is unusual in that it’s taking the genre name literally - it’s a 12 chapter novel with high resolution graphics, full voice acting, and no discernable gameplay beyond changing how text is displayed. It has a lot of history, inspiring fighting games and an entire multiverse including the world’s leading anime gacha game, but your tolerance for the “game” is going to depend heavily on your ability to just use your Switch as a book reader.
The story of Witch on the Holy Night is set in an alternate Japan in which magic is legal but is kept highly secret in order to prevent its overuse or abuse. The focus is on three characters - hotheaded witch / high school student Aoko Aozaki (who you may recognize from Melty Blood: Type Lumina), her mysterious witch housemate Alice Kuonji, and transfer student Soujuuro Shizuki who catches the first two practicing magic in what was supposed to be an empty park. After an extended combat sequence (which takes up most of the fifth chapter) Shizuki is taken back to the home of the girls while they try to determine how exactly to deal with this person shattering the masquerade. It is an interesting story, with the main trio of characters being interesting and unpredictable compared to their first impressions. The story can feel overly long; it’s on the longer end of visual novels I’ve read at about 25 hours (acknowledging I’m a relatively fast reader) and in its original written form had somewhere between 350 and 400 pages of Japanese text.
This is how the internal monologue looks, for the record.The other major defining future of Witch on the Holy Night is its size - it’s a hair under 20GB, and is the largest single file on my system right now including fully DLC’d Monster Hunter Rise and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. (One other comparison is that it’s bigger than the entire Danganronpa Decadence collection. This includes the board game.) This is due to a combination of every line of dialogue being voiced (Japanese only) and constant switching of “camera angles” or perspectives with graphics that are quite high resolution for a Switch game. The thought of bitmap image formats being used for this springs to mind. Most of the text is well translated; although a few typos were present, over (rough estimate) 350,000 words they weren’t occurring frequently enough to be a concern. It’s about the low end of an average rate for the Aksys/Otomate romance novels.
If you’re going to get into Witch on the Holy Night, perhaps while waiting for someone to tie George R. R. Martin to a chair long enough to finish off their magnum opus, it’s going to be a commitment. 20+ hours of either nudging an analog stick to stop the system from going into screen saving mode or jamming A will get you a well-written story that sets up a lot of things for the future.
Summary
Pros
She felt the energy coursing through her veins, giving her an otherworldly strength and determination. With her cauldron set up in a clearing, the witch began to chant incantations, calling upon the forces of the universe. She could feel the presence of the spirits around her, their energy merging with hers, creating a powerful vortex of magic. The flames in the cauldron danced and flickered, reflecting the ancient knowledge and wisdom contained within. As the night progressed, the witch performed various rituals, invoking the elements and seeking guidance from the divine. She asked for protection, for healing, and for strength in the days to come. Each spell she cast resonated with the energy of the night, amplifying her intentions and desires. As the clock struck midnight, the witch stood still, basking in the magical energy that surrounded her. She could feel the powerful forces of the universe aligning with her own essence, creating a harmonious symphony of energy and intention. The holy night had indeed granted her the power she sought. With a final act of gratitude, the witch extinguished the flames in her cauldron and began her journey back into the depths of the forest. She knew that the power she had accessed on this holy night would stay with her, guiding her on her path and helping her weave her magic in the world. And so, as the sun began to rise, the witch disappeared into the shadows, her heart filled with gratitude and her spirit aflame with the magic of the holy night. She knew that she had tapped into a sacred source of power, and that she would forever carry the essence of this night within her..

- Sarah - 2 stars - I found "Witch on the holy night" to be extremely boring and uninteresting. The characters were flat and I couldn't connect with any of them. The story was slow-paced and lacked any sense of excitement or suspense. Overall, I was very disappointed with this book and don't understand the hype surrounding it.
- John - 1 star - "Witch on the holy night" was a complete waste of time for me. The writing style was confusing and hard to follow, making it difficult to understand what was happening. The plot was convoluted and lacked coherence. I couldn't get invested in the story and ended up giving up on it halfway through. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
- Emily - 2 stars - I had high expectations for "Witch on the holy night" but unfortunately, it fell short. The characters were underdeveloped and their actions often didn't make sense. The plot had potential, but it was poorly executed. The pacing was uneven, with slow parts that dragged on and rushed parts that left me confused. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and wouldn't recommend it.
