The Witching Hour is a puzzle platformer. The player can choose to control either a witch called Gretta or a wizard called Beardy. The game takes place in a small village by the sea that has been raided by ghosts and demons led by the evil demon master. Many villagers have been captured and those that escape have come to the player who is the only person with the magical power needed to rescue them. But it has to be done before midnight so the player only has one hour, the witching hour, to complete the mission.
