Magical Girl Witch Trials 2025
Magical Girl Witch Trials is a psychological horror mystery adventure video game released in 2025 by scenario-writing company Re,AER. It was developed by Acacia, a creative brand under Re,AER, and published by Acacia and Circle Line Games. The game uses gothic visuals and a dark magical girl theme. Its story centers on Sakuraba Ema (桜羽 エマ), the overall lead, and Nikaidō Hiro (二階堂 ヒロ), the second-chapter lead.
Sakuraba Ema and Nikaidō Hiro, along with 11 other girls, are imprisoned in a prison house on a remote island after being identified as potential "witches"—individuals with a strong instinct for murder. The captives must go through witch trials to uncover and execute the murderous witch among them in order to survive.
The game was originally launched following a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2024, which included full voice acting and gained attention within the Japanese online community. It was released for PC on July 18, 2025, through Steam, and for the Nintendo Switch on July 9, 2026.
Magical Girl Witch Trials achieved commercial success and received positive reviews for its storytelling, character development, and artwork. A manga adaptation began serialization in August 2025. Two related games, Mahō Shōjo no Inshū Mura and The Streamer's Alt Account Labyrinth, are scheduled for release in 2026.
