Awesome and very comprehensive game for this system with a lot of attention to detail.RPG fans will get their money's worth here. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 00:52:45. Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Version 1.0.2: The sign for the graveyard (from Fletcher's and the smithy) says "east," when the graveyard is west.
Also, did you mean for the inn in Chaeton to reset all the plants and fish? That sets up an exploitable loop for infinite gold and supplies/equipment....
I'm glad it does, because without that inn resetting stuff, I wouldn't have had mint leaves for branwen's dream eye potion (since a different character had harvested the mint that day).
Hi & thanks for a cool sequel to a great game. [SPOILER ALERT] However I am stuck in Clarissa's house with Smokey with no way out after activating and reading the grimoire which reacts, then Briley says, "It's done", then when I read the grimoire again, I can see the cu.poison recipe, but Briley is stuck in the house with the door shut. When I use the menu with "Remind", Briley keeps saying, "I should probably look inside the barrow grimoire". When I interact with it next to the bed, I can see the recipe, but nothing else happens. To top it off, poison keeps taking -3 out of my life force. Using version 1.0.1. Some help, plz? :)
After done that thing you go any further ? I have a problem immediately after making the potion you had found in the grimoire... Tried everything but stuck forever in the home.
Well I got out of the house since the door opened after reading the grimoire and selecting it from the menu, but now it seems I don't have all the necessary ingredients to make the cu.poison, so now, I am stuck again.
I already had that new map part gone thru but missed something either way, for example water flasks that I used against the lifeforce drain, I need to check the market for the rest. Thanks!
Hi... After making the cu.poison i got stuck inside Clarissa home.. no way to get out... any one got the same problem ? Well I edit and try to add details : after mixed the "poison cure" Sebastian go on his way and Briley can move freely around the town but can't do anything,, near to the door of Clarissa's home is triggered an Event with Rasequin then Briley is forced to go inside, the door suddenly closes and then is impossible go out, Clarissa weirdly said "go bed we speak tomorrow" and interacting with the bed the grimoire appear. It is possible heal the daoughter but then nothing change... look some kind of bug but reading other post i see some player already beat the game, so, weird...
I am now getting this issue as well on v1.0.1. After the cut scene with Rasequin, Briley goes in side, cures one of the Baxter family members but Clarissa insists that we go to bed, but we can't as we are still holding the Grimore and cannot put it away.
Hi, sorry if i write to you but reading that you complete the game make me asking for an help ... ! I'm stuck inside the home immediately after making the " Cure poison " potion. I need to understand if this is a bug that happen only to me ... or i not understand something (to have more details read my unanswered post in this same page..) thank you...
Hi, thank you for the answer...! no no, is immediately after make the poision, Briley speak to rasequin and then go inside clarissa home, here is possible cure the child.. but then is impossible go out from the home. Clarissa said "go to bed" but is impossible also go to bed... Look really like a bug because is nosesnse said "go to bed" during the day and with the village full of dead bodies
Ms. Avory, I bow to you! I love your work and have purchased every game published here so far. Thank you for the really great work and please never stop!
By the way, I find the Lord Grey's town really long. I'm in for nearly 1 hour and half... I find it a little boring. Let's hope some action will happen soon :)
I'm trying to play only 1 hour a day in order to avoid some weariness and to enjoy playing your game.
I am stuck at confronting the Dark Spirit in the Deep Forest. Even when I manage to finally get to the place with my party, I get killed by the boss. I guess I have missed some important step and don't have necessary magic item or something. I may need to start the 1st part from the beginning.
I think it is best if you try to finish the first game first, because the second one continues where the first one did end. The game is based on books, it's like skipping many chapters in a book if you start with the sequel now.
Hello. I'm looking for some help. I'm stuck in the "poison quest". I need parsley to brew a potion but I did not find it, looking nearly everywhere. A tip is very welcomed :)
You're amazing. I didn't think we'd ever see a sequel. This is the secret best Christmas gift. Thank you so much Sarah. Instant purchase! I hope that you and your family are well and that everything is great. Have an amazing holiday period and try to enjoy some time off!
I have no doubt! The last 10% of game dev always seems to take 90% of the time, It's really (really) tough to even finish a project. Oh my gosh, that intro is so good. And the music is so memorable and heartwarming. After a tough week, you've made my weekend.
I recorded the first half-hour of gameplay from Briley Witch Chronicles 2 from real hardware. I felt right at home again, flashback to 2021! Can't wait to play further.
Meow! This is a happy surprise! Thank you so much for making this amazing game! The first one already blew the minds of us, and it sure did blow the mind of the Commodore 64, too :3.
Thank you!!! By chance I was thinking about when the sequel might arrive earlier today and then boom, it was there, instant by! Thank you so much for all your amazing work:)
EDIT: just checked the game, and that fox shouldn't be there at all. It won't affect the total, so I won't be releasing a fix just yet, but I've fixed the map so it won't show up on any future releases.
Considering how good the original was, it was easy to go for instant buy. Thanks for making this sequel and I'm confident it will keep me busy for many weeks.
Purchased, looking forward to playing it like everyone else. What cartridge system is best to use on a real C64 then if I want to save my game with the minimum of fuss? I've got an UltimateII+, Kung Fu Flash and EasyFlash 3 at my disposal...
(if it's like the first game) UltimateII+ is easiest IMHO. Pick a blank d64, mount it, and saving to it should work automatically. That said it would be interesting to see if the KFF works with save to cart...
With 1541U2/Ultimate64 you have to explicitly save the cartridge contents after saving the game. The saved game is never stored in the existing .crt file, but if you save the cartridge contents in a new .crt file, it will contain the save game. IMO this is not very convenient and you can indeed consider to use a D64 file. Personally I consider Briley Witch Chronicles a big enough game to build a dedicated cartridge. I did play BWC1 from a dedicated cart and will do again with BWC2. I can now use my own designed device for that, the EasyFlash 1CR.

"Grain Stores" typo?

Hello. I noticed a typo in the game. When you speak with Garsille, in the dialog box you can read "Garsile". See attached screenshot.
I noticed another typo. When you're going to ask some help from Ghroda, Sebastian tells you he will wait "ouside" . See attached screenshot.

[SOLVED] Duh, I need to select it in menu, Items. :D
After done that thing you go any further ? I have a problem immediately after making the potion you had found in the grimoire... Tried everything but stuck forever in the home.

you should speak with Branew and she will unlock a new part of the map.. where you can find the missing element ( the others are at the town market)
I already had that new map part gone thru but missed something either way, for example water flasks that I used against the lifeforce drain, I need to check the market for the rest. Thanks!

How did you make the poison? Who did you talk to it about to know that you had to make it? I am stuck at this stage at the moment.
the cu.poion spell appear automatically in the grimoire after looking around for the village.
I am now getting this issue as well on v1.0.1. After the cut scene with Rasequin, Briley goes in side, cures one of the Baxter family members but Clarissa insists that we go to bed, but we can't as we are still holding the Grimore and cannot put it away.
V1.0.2 should hopefully fix this.
Clarissa shouldn't be there, so something has gone wrong...
I'm working on v1.0.2 now to fix this.
V1.0.2 should hopefully fix this.
Completed the game ...now we need part 3 :) Loved it ! Excellent work Sarah :)
Loved it too, even if it was a little more difficult than the first game.
Hi, sorry if i write to you but reading that you complete the game make me asking for an help ... ! I'm stuck inside the home immediately after making the " Cure poison " potion. I need to understand if this is a bug that happen only to me ... or i not understand something (to have more details read my unanswered post in this same page..) thank you...
Are people sick inside the home (green color) ? If so you have to use cure on each one.
Hi, thank you for the answer...! no no, is immediately after make the poision, Briley speak to rasequin and then go inside clarissa home, here is possible cure the child.. but then is impossible go out from the home. Clarissa said "go to bed" but is impossible also go to bed... Look really like a bug because is nosesnse said "go to bed" during the day and with the village full of dead bodies
V1.0.2 should hopefully fix this.
Thank you ! ( but still weird other people seem had completed the game so, if is a bug it not happen everytime but is triggered by something i did )
I confirm that now is ok , thank again
Can't wait to play the 2nd part!
Super impressive as always Sarah!
Ms. Avory, I bow to you! I love your work and have purchased every game published here so far. Thank you for the really great work and please never stop!
Once again, calling for help. I'm locked in Lord Grey's town. I cannot find Joan after searching for her for at least 10 minutes.
Any tip to find her? Thanks a lot!
Try exploring the bottom right part of the village, to the right of the main gates.
Thanks a lot.
By the way, I find the Lord Grey's town really long. I'm in for nearly 1 hour and half... I find it a little boring. Let's hope some action will happen soon :)
I'm trying to play only 1 hour a day in order to avoid some weariness and to enjoy playing your game.
Ha! I have never completed the 1st part. This looks great! Time to try again.
I completed the first game and the second is harder sometimes.
I am stuck at confronting the Dark Spirit in the Deep Forest. Even when I manage to finally get to the place with my party, I get killed by the boss. I guess I have missed some important step and don't have necessary magic item or something. I may need to start the 1st part from the beginning.
Just read with care the dialog. You'll get your answer. Fighting is not always the best choice in this game. You'll get past it easily after that.
I think it is best if you try to finish the first game first, because the second one continues where the first one did end. The game is based on books, it's like skipping many chapters in a book if you start with the sequel now.
Hello. I'm looking for some help. I'm stuck in the "poison quest". I need parsley to brew a potion but I did not find it, looking nearly everywhere. A tip is very welcomed :)
Thanks!
Try going to town to buy it...
Oops! Do not think about it. Thanks a lot for the tip!
Edit: now I cannot finish the quest in the desolated village. Got killed every time on the second or third fight... Ouch.
Edit 2: nevermind, I found the hidden boxes and I managed my way through these fights. It was hard but I get to it :)
Where do I go or who I need to speak to in order to find out why the villagers are sick? Been everywhere and spoken to everyone but no luck.
You're amazing. I didn't think we'd ever see a sequel. This is the secret best Christmas gift. Thank you so much Sarah. Instant purchase! I hope that you and your family are well and that everything is great. Have an amazing holiday period and try to enjoy some time off!
Thanks! I'm going to relax a bit now. Took some effort to get the game done, but now I can rest for a bit.
I have no doubt! The last 10% of game dev always seems to take 90% of the time, It's really (really) tough to even finish a project. Oh my gosh, that intro is so good. And the music is so memorable and heartwarming. After a tough week, you've made my weekend.

Keep up the great work! Bought this earlier today, hoping to have time to play it during Christmas vacation... :)

Thank you!!! By chance I was thinking about when the sequel might arrive earlier today and then boom, it was there, instant by! Thank you so much for all your amazing work:)
Thank you from the ZZAP! 64 team. :)
Do you also plan to release a physical version at some point?
What a Christmas gift! Thanks a lot! Downloading....
Loved the first game and as soon as I knew the 2nd one was for sale it was an instant buy!
Thank you for 2 great games!
I just bought the game. Will be playing soon 🙂 .
Just start playing. It took me about an hour to finish day 1.
In east of Maepole, there is an unreachable fox. See attached screenshot. Saw it with both Vice 3.7 and Vice development version.
Besides this, it is alright and great to play. I had to stop myself playing after 1 hour :)
Oh, I'd better fix that!
EDIT: just checked the game, and that fox shouldn't be there at all. It won't affect the total, so I won't be releasing a fix just yet, but I've fixed the map so it won't show up on any future releases.
Yes, indeed. So version 1.0.1 will be released soon. Saving both to cart and disk is a good idea :)
Had the same problem. But once I got to the night time part of the game and after that, the fox was no longer in the place.
Awesome game!
Wow, that comes as a surprise! I heard that part 2 was in development but never would have thought that it's so near already. Fantastic!
Happy to see this land today! I've picked up Briley 1 as well.
@enagesbrain
Purchased with a little extra. Cannot wait to dig in.
I was so excited to buy but I had too much food at lunch and I slept lol!
I just got this beauty and I am so deeply, deeply thankful!
Hooray! :D
Just purchased and added 5 extra bucks. Enjoy a coffee or soda. Sarah. Thank you.
Thank you very much! I think I need a bit of a break after this...
OMG Sarah, thank you for warming up this winter <3
Great!!
Swift support to Sarah's work!
Great stuff - thanks!!
Waiting for v1.01 1st
Excellent thank you Sarah! ;-)

I use Kung Fu Flash, and save to cart works fine.
I'll give the KFF a whirl then, thanks!
KFF and use save to cart.
The wait is over!
Thank you for supporting the C64 Sarah, and grats on the release. Can't wait to play this!
Yes ! purchased :) I can't wait to start playing it
