History VideoGame / TheWitchsHouse

* BrownNote: Possibly The Book of Death. Reading it leads to Viola scratching our her own eyes.

* BreakableWeapons: At the beginning of the game, you pick a rusty machete. You then immediately break it (cutting roses of all things) to get to the witch's house. It's also completely ineffective on the roses that lead to the way out.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: The cat mentions that it was mean of you to cut up the white flower on the roof. The demon who eats the souls of children thinks you're an asshole]].

* TooDumbToLive: Several of the ways to die are this, such as drinking a bowl of poison or trying to walk across a beam that the narration notes would snap in an instant from your weight. The game usually has you confirm these options a second time to hammer in what a bad idea they are.

** It's a little hard to see with the sprites, but The Book of Death appears to make Viola [[EyeScream rub at her eyes until they bleed]] before killing her.

* [[spoiler:LoopholeAbuse: There is a room where a note on the wall tells you not to let anything distract you on the following hallway. Normally, doing anything but walking in a straight line to the exist would result in death by giant rock. However, if you proceed into the hallway without reading the note, you CAN let things distract you, and nothing will happen. Ignorance of the rule excuses you!]]

* GiantSpider: There's one lurking on the second floor of the house, which will [[LosingYourHead bite off Viola's head]] if you try to leave the room after taking a butterfly from its web.

* LosingYourHead: In addition to the aforementioned decapitation-by-GiantSpider, putting on the red shoes instead of washing them results in Viola's body running off without its head.

* IJustWantToBeLoved: [[spoiler: A book in the library titled "Ellen" said that Ellen states that "she only hoped to be loved]].

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler: Ellen. At the age of seven, she murdered her parents and burned their house to the ground. After that, she killed many people and fed their souls to a demon in exchange for a way to avoid death. Ellen befriended Viola for the sole purpose of stealing her body. After the switch happened, Ellen cut off her legs, gouged her eyes out, and drugged her so that she would despair as she died. Ellen then leads Viola's father to unknowingly shoot his daughter dead, laughing after it happens and getting off scot-free. The real punch to the gut is that she succeeds ''because the player helped her.'']]

* DrivenToSuicide: When you first enter the library, there's an invisible person who says that they are sorting books and need something to tie them together. After you give them a rope to solve a puzzle, the person thanks you. If you backtrack to the room after that, you'll find that they tied the rope into a noose to commit suicide.

''The Witch's House'' (''Majo no Ie'') is a freeware puzzle-oriented horror game by Fummy, made with RPG Maker VX. A young girl named Viola has gone to visit her friend Ellen, who lives in the woods. However, those same woods are said to be haunted by a witch who kidnaps children. When Viola finds her way blocked by magical roses, it seems that her only option is to enter the titular witch's house and find a way to break the spell.
