What Is the Story and World of Witchbrook?

In Witchbrook, players take on the role of the newest resident witch arriving in Mossport, a vibrant coastal town surrounded by lush woodlands and ancient magical ley lines.

Your primary objective is to enroll at Witchbrook College, an esteemed academy dedicated to the arcane arts. Players attend daily lectures, brew alchemical potions, learn broomstick flight, and decipher secrets hidden within the school’s historic grounds. Outside of academic duties, you can customize your personal residence, take up local jobs, go fishing, and build deep relationships with an eccentric cast of fellow students and townsfolk, culminating in your eventual graduation and adult life in Mossport.

How Does Multiplayer Co-Op Work in Witchbrook?

Unlike traditional single-player life simulators, Witchbrook was engineered from the ground up to support cooperative gameplay.

• Four-Player Online Co-Op: Groups of up to four friends can drop into the same world state, sharing adventures across Mossport and attending Witchbrook College classes together.
• Shared Social Activities: Players can collaborate on gathering rare potion ingredients in deep forests, participate in seasonal festival minigames, decorate communal spaces, and build lasting memories throughout their academic years.
• Seamless Cross-Platform Connectivity: PC and console gamers can link up via online multiplayer lobbies to experience student life side by side.

Life sim enthusiasts can add Witchbrook to their Steam Wishlist today or prepare their subscription prior to its launch on Xbox Game Pass on January 28, 2027.
