Dot Vine is a witch on a quest to kill the werewolf! But aside from that bit, it's really not a killing thing. Dot's a nice witch. You'll need to find treasures, learn secret spells, and remember obscure clues -- paper and pencil are recommended. Play is similar to Zelda. Equip one item at a time. Your principal weapon is a feather. (were you hoping for a sword or a crossbow? sorry to disappoint).
