Explained simply
Witchbrook is a life simulation game from British studio Chucklefish, the company behind games including Starbound. It is set in Mossport, a seaside town, where players take the role of a student at Witchbrook College.
The game combines study and everyday activities: players can attend classes, run a business, fly a broom, decorate a home and explore the town. It also offers cooperative play for up to four people, so friends can play together.
Its mix of magical school life and open-ended activities has led to comparisons with fantasy stories and farming life simulators. Its release across Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox and PC platforms means it is planned for a wide range of players.
