Welcome to Kore's winter island

Kore Young witch

I made it just like Mom's potion book says. I may be small, but I'm a witch. Drink this.

Story

Mom's away, so I'm this island's witch now!

On a quiet island where white snow drifts down all year round, Mom slipped away one day, leaving only a short letter: "Please look after the island." All that young Kore has left is an old potion cauldron, a potion book full of blank pages, and warm memories of the days they spent together.

Between peaceful days spent tending to your neighbors' small worries and a special adventure chasing memories of Mom, gather all kinds of ingredients, brew potions with care, and share kindness with the islanders as you grow into a witch worthy of following in her footsteps.

Features

Life on Kore's winter island

Magic potions to thaw chilly hearts

Pick fresh herbs in snowy woods, fish by a clear spring, and gather gems tucked between the rocks. Drop your hard-won ingredients into the cauldron, let them bubble away, and out comes a magic potion that warms frozen fingertips and opens icy paths.

Stop the snow over the night sky for twins who long to see the stars, or hand someone who misses the sea a potion filled with the sound of waves. Lend an ear to the villagers' worries, big and small, brew the perfect potion for each of their stories, and breathe warmth into the cold winter island.

A potion book filled with memories of Mom

Many pages in the book hold only a potion's name, with the recipe left blank. But the answers are still waiting in the places you once walked with Mom. Find the red ribbons tied all across the island, and memories of her will unfold before you.

Every time you brew a potion from a recipe recalled in a happy memory, more memories open up. From days of laughing out loud together to sides of Mom you never knew, the stories you shared slowly fill the empty potion book and your island journal.

Soar into the sky, glide through the depths

Hop on your magic staff to fly freely over snowy forests and beaches, and search mysterious caves and open fields for rare ingredients. While the sun is up, dive into the deep spring beside your cottage to discover ingredients and strange traces sleeping beneath the surface. Brew potions that boost your staff's speed and mana and let you stay underwater longer, and the island opens up even wider.

Stray from the path to take on gliding courses and running challenges, or use special dye potions to color Kore's hair and clothes however you like. Little joys are waiting at every step as you set out to ease someone's worries.

Potions that travel across the sea

When the crisp morning comes, a friendly merchant's boat pulls into the dock. Sell the potions you've made, buy rare ingredients from beyond the island, and brew something new. Kore's potions find their way to all kinds of people, from someone who longs for the soft scent of flowers to sailors about to set out on a long voyage.

Use the gold you earn to bring back, one by one, the treasured belongings Mom left in the merchant's care. A rocking chair by the fireplace, a prism that casts rainbows by the window, dainty teacups on the tea table: each time something returns to its place, a fond memory comes back to life, and the empty cottage fills once again with Mom's warmth.

Back again, Little Miss Witch! Look around all you like. Just don't stick your hand in the forge, haha!

Sol can't even go to the bathroom alone at night. I'm not scared of anything!

I talk to the sprout every day. Silly, isn't it? …But it feels like it answers me.

Lighthouse keeper

The lighthouse lamp has never gone out, not for a single day. The Lady Witch… no, who was it that told me to keep it lit?

Today's weather: snow. Yesterday: snow. …This box is the same every day.

Beyond the winter island, a story yet untold

Why does winter never end on this island? Why did Mom leave on her own with nothing but a letter? And what truth lies behind her warning: "Never go near the deep spring at night"?

The more wishes you grant and the more scattered memories you piece together, the closer the truth draws. Stay with Kore until the very end of her journey.
