The game’s Steam store page provides this story description:
In the mansion on the hill, there lived two witches…
It is the late 1980s—the twilight of an era of beauty and vigor.
A boy moves to the city, barely missing two witches living in modern times.
The boy leads a completely ordinary life.
She carries herself with gallant pride.
The girl lives a sleepy, hidden life.
Each walks a starlit path.
One would never expect their paths to cross.
The story of how these three disparate people came together is soon to be told.
Following the game’s release, Witch on the Holy Night creator Kinoko Nasu stated that he’d write he will write a sequel one day “no matter what form it takes.” In the past, Nasu stated that he would like to tackle two sequels.
