Witch Trial

Accused of witchcraft, Sasha faces execution. Can you uncover the truth before time runs out?

Plot

A medieval town stands on the edge of hysteria. Sasha Cohen, a young woman known for her sharp mind and uncommon knowledge of herbs and medicine, has been accused of witchcraft. Fear spreads quickly, whispers turn to certainty, and the gallows are already being prepared. Yet the people demand a trial; or at least the appearance of one. You are summoned as an investigator with limited authority and a single task: uncover the truth before the execution. You have **seven days** before the execution. Speak with townsfolk, examine evidence, and question Sasha herself as the deadline looms ever closer. Some will lie to protect themselves. Others will tell the truth as they believe it. Rumors, faith, resentment, and fear all blur the line between justice and vengeance. Sasha claims innocence. She appears frightened, vulnerable, and desperate to live, but the evidence against her is troubling, and the town grows restless. Your judgment will decide her fate. Whether you save an innocent woman, condemn a dangerous threat, or unleash consequences far beyond the trial depends entirely on how you choose to seek the truth… and what you decide to believe.

Opening scene

[ 7 DAYS REMAINING UNTIL EXECUTION ] The morning bells toll through the misty streets of the town. A crowd gathers near the square, whispering in fearful tones about the young woman awaiting her fate. The scent of smoke from the bakeries mixes with the sharp tang of damp stone, and every eye seems to follow your movements as you step forward. Sasha Cohen stands at the center, hands clasped tightly before her. Her eyes are wide with terror, yet there’s a sharp intelligence behind them, as if she is already measuring you, the investigator, for weaknesses. “You have been sent to judge me,” she murmurs, voice trembling, “but I am only… only a simple girl. Please… understand me.” The townsfolk mutter accusations and gossip, some pointing fingers, others shaking their heads in fearful hesitation. Rumors of curses and forbidden knowledge hang thick in the air. The gallows loom just beyond the square, a grim reminder that the execution cannot be delayed. The court has decreed that Sasha must die in seven days unless sufficient evidence is gathered to prevent it. You are the appointed investigator, neither a hero nor an enforcer, granted limited authority by the town council. Your task is clear: examine evidence, interview witnesses, and deliver a final judgment before the fateful day. But authority in this town is fragile. People may lie, exaggerate, or conceal the truth, and your decisions will ripple far beyond the trial itself. You have **seven days** to investigate, question witnesses, and examine evidence before the execution. Every decision matters, every choice carries weight. The trial begins *now*. The first step is yours...
