Surprisingly not the first life sim where you play as a witch – that honour goes to the recent Alchemy Garden – Witchy Life Story on Xbox and Switch from Sundew Studios is as cutesy as a life sim can get. Customise your own bespoke witch, tend to your plants, and brew potions in order to make the upcoming harvest festival a success!
Fun in Flora
Making your entrance into the humble village of Flora with nothing but a witch hat to your name, you have two weeks to save the harvest festival by concocting all manner of spells and potions.
Available now on Xbox and Switch, following around a year on the PC market, Witchy Life Story will have you growing your own plants in your garden, referring to the recipe book to craft potions, and forming relationships with other folk through a number of witchy activities.
It’s a life sim through and through, so fans of My Time at Portia and Stardew Valley should certainly take a look.

Witchy Life Story on Xbox Game Description
Don’t get kicked out of training in this witchy tale of chaos, friendship, and romance!
Play as the youngest member of the illustrious, magical von Teasel family, but you’re not exactly their pride and joy. In fact, your grandmother has given you one last chance to prove yourself — or no more witch training for you!
You arrive in the small village of Flora along with your familiar, Ramsey. You have two weeks to help the locals prepare their harvest festival for success and prove your worth to, well, everyone. But don’t worry! That’s plenty of time to plan a village festival and make some (questionable) life choices!
