** In the pseudo-third ending, [[spoiler:from the cat, after the text box switchers from Black Cat to '''[[OurDemonsAreDifferent Demon]]''']]:
--->'''[[spoiler:Demon:]]''' "Good luck with the rest, Ellen...[[spoiler:[[TheManBehindTheWoman my faithful witch]]]]."

''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 WickedWitch who kidnaps children. When Viola finds her way blocked by magical roses, it seems that her only option is to enter the eponymous witch's house and find a way to break the spell, in hopes of reuniting with Ellen. Accompanied by a snarky talking black cat, Viola must navigate the dangers of the house and its murderous inhabitants.

* DaylightHorror: Although it appears to be night inside the house for the majority of the game, all scenes that take place outside are sunlit, [[spoiler:including the [[CruelTwistEnding "True Ending"]]]]. Near the end, [[spoiler:after the house has returned to normal, immediately before and during Ellen's chase]], windows in the house also show that it's really been day outside all along.

* EldritchLocation: The house. It is explicitly stated that it can change to the witch's will.
** According to the novel, this is because the house [[DemonicPossession is possessed by the spirit of the first witch]].

* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Viola can meet her end by [[TheWallsAreClosingIn sliding walls]], getting eaten by a piano, being shot by a giant toy soldier, having a grandfather clock fall on her, a ''flower'' impaling her when she tries to uproot it... You're either going to get paranoid and possibly survive, or get through by [[TrialandErrorGameplay Trial and Error Gameplay]].
** The prequel reveals that all the inhabitants of the house are the spirits of people killed by Ellen in the past. [[spoiler:Since Ellen has no magic or immortality now that she's in Viola's body, it's no surprise that her past victims want their revenge]].

** A text box description reads "A toy soldier with a fake gun". [[spoiler:It's not, as it can and will kill you if you use the wrong key (or no key) before turning on the music box in the room to it's left.]]

* TheFarmerAndTheViper: [[spoiler:Viola, feeling sorry for how Ellen was so ill that she couldn't even get out of her bed, allowed her to switch bodies with her [[BlatantLies "for a day". In return, "Viola" left "Ellen" in a body that she herself mutilated (cutting off her own legs and gouging out her own eyes), and forced burning "medicine" down her throat to render her mute.]]]] And that's ''before'' the start of the game.
