Read the full game description

Septima is an interactive strategy game of witchcraft in which every action is chosen simultaneously and secretly. Matching another coven’s action makes it stronger, but conspicuous magic raises suspicion and draws witch hunters toward the town. Across four seasons, leaders move through Noctenburg and its surrounding regions to gather ingredients, brew potions, heal patients, perform rituals, and rescue witches at public trials. Trial votes depend on the crowd and the cards players contribute, turning other covens into potential allies even while everyone competes for Wisdom. Rescued witches join a personal coven with new abilities, and optional Full Game modules add spells, charms, and prophecies. The tension between cooperation, timing, and staying unnoticed gives its action-selection system a distinctive social edge.
