The Witch: First Halloween is out now, as confirmed in the game’s release announcement. The Witch: First Halloween is a full remake of the original The Witch.

Chelsea returns to the night where her story began. Chelsea must once again spend the night at her aunt Agnet’s manor. You choose whether to run away from its inhabitants, banish them, make deals with them or take a different path.

The creator describes rebuilding the game from the ground up while trying to preserve the original’s mood and spirit. The adventure adds new events, paths, scenes and ways to play, alongside connections between this Halloween night and events in later games in the series.

Chelsea’s Desktop Connection

The release celebration also introduces Chelsea’s Halloween Companion. Chelsea can appear on your desktop through a separate companion with animations, interactions and small events.

If you launch the game and Companion together through the Town Dark Tales Launcher, the desktop Chelsea may react to what happens to her in Agnet’s manor.

Claiming the Gift

The Halloween gift was for owners of The Witch: First Halloween on Steam, with no separate Citizen purchase or existing Patreon or Telegram membership required. The announced claim process used the TDT Launcher: sign in through Telegram or Patreon, connect Steam, open Membership & Rewards and select CLAIM VIA STEAM.

Those instructions required connecting the Steam account that owned The Witch: First Halloween so the Launcher could verify the game was in its library and award 90 days of Citizen.

The announced deadline to claim the gift was November 1.

The 90-day reward provides Citizen-level access to the Town Dark Tales ecosystem and the corresponding features of Chelsea’s Halloween Companion, including its connection with The Witch: First Halloween. For gifts activated before the event ended, Citizen access lasts the full 90 days.
