However, each memory phantom reveals a hidden truth: Yuna’s past was manipulated by the main series’ true villain. The “gaiden” becomes a tragic road of self-destruction or reluctant heroism.
Project Codename: SWG Genre: Narrative-driven Action RPG / Visual Novel Hybrid Target Platform: PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 Rating Target: Teen (PEGI 12) – Fantasy violence, mild suggestive themes, emotional trauma Estimated Playtime: 8–12 hours (main story) + 4 hours (side content) 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Spirit Witch’s Gaiden is a side-story spin-off set in the same universe as the main Spirit Witch series. It follows Yuna, the Cursed Medium —a minor antagonist from the main game—during a forbidden week between two major story arcs. Players explore a sealed spiritual realm, solve possession-based puzzles, and make irreversible moral choices that determine whether Yuna redeems herself or becomes a true monster.
The game bridges the lore gap between Spirit Witch 2 and the upcoming Spirit Witch 3 . “The dead do not forgive. But they can be tricked.” After being defeated by the main protagonist, Yuna awakens inside the Necroverse —a collapsing dimension made from the trapped souls of every witch she has sacrificed. A mysterious spirit named Kael offers her a deal: hunt down six rogue “memory phantoms” (each a former victim) and absorb their final regrets. In return, Kael will restore Yuna’s lost humanity.
