About
Fascinated with rumors, conspiracy theories, and true crime podcasts, visitors make the pilgrimage to Ashland to visit the historical Rabbit’s Paw Inn. The power inside this building is a legend unto itself. Hoping to uncover a bit of truth to the stories of the occult and the infamous Ashland Witch, they stand where so many before have tried to bring these stories to fruition, and where others have lost their lives under mysterious circumstances.
On this adventure, meet the current proprietors of the Inn and see if you have what it takes to commune with those that have passed on these grounds. Perhaps you'll summon the spirits sacrificed to the Ashland Witch; or perhaps, you’ll see just what lies beyond the veil… and be left marked by the Witch herself.
Warning: Mark of the Witch is not suitable for children under 13. This game contains graphic content, gore, and atmospheric lighting. At least one member of the group will be required to crouch and to duck. You’ll be given an option to be marked in special fx blood (not real blood).
