Sarah Jane Avory has launched her long awaited JRPG-style game for the Commodore 64: Briley Witch Chronicles. The game is based on the novels of the same name by Avory.
“When Briley Forester is torn from her world and dumped into the backward village of Maepole, she discovers that being a witch is hard, and that Smokey, her grumpy talking cat, knows more about men than she does.
