The following is a simulation of a witch hunt. While this hunt, its victims, and perpetrators are fictional, it is based on actual hunts that took place during the early seventeenth century in the Holy Roman Empire.

As in real life, certain choices may significantly affect your character’s fate, while others will only slightly alter the outcome. Confessing to be a witch will speed up matters. There can be several possible endings for your character, not all of them lethal. Warning: because the witch hunts involved torture and cruelty, some pages may be unsuitable for younger or impressionable readers.
