Coven is a cheerfully monstrous witch's delight
I ain’t mind these weak flames
Falsely accusing you of witchcraft, the crooked villagers burn you to death, inadvertently making you a witch. They compound this error by leaving an axe and several firearms unguarded, and further still by being made of delicious healing organs that, if consumed in great enough quantities, let you to spit acid like in Left ("for" - Not Letting It Go Ed) Dead.
Coven is a wonderfully pitched horror FPS. Dark and violent but too cartoonish to feel exploitative, edgy, or truly sadistic. Dramatic enough to motivate without being over-serious. Playful and excessive, but not quite camp. I was not expecting to enjoy this so much.
