- Game Description – We’ve known that witches live among us. All that is foul in the world can be traced back to the minions of darkness. They work their evil, and our lives are worse for it. Children die, husbands leave their wives, crops fail. There is a reason bad things happen to good people–and it all comes down to witchcraft. But that will all end here at Salem. We’ll burn out all agents of the devil, and purify the land. They cannot hide, for our cause is righteous. Come join us in the fight. A BYOV tragedy.
