Midwintär catches you at Khazar's Pass.
You shelter in a cave as the days and nights grow long and cold,
as the snow seals you in and as the world darkens.

The corrupt and self-righteous religious institution Oblique Order is attempting to destroy the peaceful cohabitation of people and magical creatures in the pagan world of Midwintär, and enforce their order by uniting people against the powers of the wild. You must stop them before they exterminate your kind...
Midwintär starts off as a revenge story that slowly shifts into an exploration about our relationship to the unknown, and about the limits of what we can hope to control or understand.

Play and switch between three protagonists - a werewolf, a vampire and a witch - to exact your revenge on a vicious religious cult.

• Werewolf: The main protagonist is the werewolf, a former disciple of the Oblique Order, disillusioned and out for vengeance. During the game, he is guided by the voice of Midwintär, an ancient force of nature. His skills revolve around spreading panic and using brute force.
• Vampire: The vampire, once a powerful force of the night, his might now reduced by the spells of men. He cannot cross running water nor enter houses uninvited, but his power is in his allure - he can enthrall people to do his bidding, or forge blood links to ensure undying loyalty.
• Moon Witch: Then, there is the moon witch. Saved just before she was burned at the stake, she had felt on her skin the terror of order, and wishes to rid the world of their influence. Her skills revolve around misdirecting suspicion at others and using concoctions to alter their behavior.

“We’ve been huge fans of Gamechuck ever since we first played their intense retro genre-masher Speed Limit,” said Rogue Games' CEO, Matt Casamassina. “Midwintär features gorgeous pixel art but otherwise couldn’t be more different. This is a game about strategy. About knowing when to attack. When to creep. When to hide. And after immersing ourselves in the action-stealth experience for just a short while, we knew we had to help bring it to gamers around the world.”
