There are no cheat codes, the cheat version allows you to rank up the characters easily at the big red crystal and unlocks all the alchemy recipes so you can try to solve them all without gathering the ingredients.
Is there any way to restart, reset or go back to the beginning of the game I've played it for a long time and I don't remember what I already did and what I haven't done and I would like to start over
There will be an easy way to delete your save file in the next demo, but for now you have to do it manually by going to AppData/Local and deleting the BE_Witches folder. Sorry about that!
Thank you ^^ I'll still domy best to get the next demo out as soon as possible!
It will be out this year in 2021, but I don't want to give a precise date until I know can meet it. What I can say is that it is still at least 5 months away. I also use my Patreon as a dev blog basically, in case you're interested!
You can go fullscreen in the settings tab. Click on the trilobite in the bottom left while in the overworld to open the inventory, and then select the settings tab at the top right!
Awesome. Glad I was able to help in that regard at least! Also, one more quick question. Is this an h-game? I don't really care if it is. It doesn't bother me. I downloaded it because the gameplay looked interesting, I'm mainly asking so that I know whether it's safe to play it if other people are in the room. Roommates don't care if you have scantily clad anime girls in the living room. Roommates do care if you have hentai in the living lol. I didn't notice anything on the about page differentiating either way.
Well i got stuck were to continue the story.Becouse after the caracter wakes up in the game i got stuck after getting 2 fire gems and getting another quest from a person i think
Is there a faster/easier way to kill the nightmare? cause ive been grinding for like an hour to get to lvl 10 and still cant. like i get shes level 11, but this just seems a bit much...
Your spell selection is good, that's what I usually go for. There are a few things you could do:
- Buy better equipment in the shop if possible.
- Buy and equip combo spells (in the combometer menu). If you reach a combo that matches an equipped spell by clearing blocks quickly, that spell will appear above the combo count. Click it (or lose your combo), and that spell will be cast for free. Basically equip combo spell > reach corresponding combo > get free spell.
- Last but not least, amplification. This is slightly spoilery if you want to do everything on your own, but there are 4 rank up orbs hidden in the demo. For each one you find, you'll be able to rank up at the big red crystal in Sablee, which allows you to equip more spells/relics/trinkets. You can find 2 of these orbs at this point, but I'll let you decide if you want to find them by yourself or look them up in the walkthrough (https://www.patreon.com/posts/walkthrough-by-33962675). The walkthrough also contains some more advice for fighting Nightmare. ^^
That being said I realize that Nightmare is a sudden difficulty spike, sorry about that. I'll make sure everything is introduced slowly over time in the final version of the game!
Holy shit dude whoever made this it's literally the best game on this damn site I would love to see the full release, hell if you want help creating anything honestly hmu the shit is amazing
Sorry if I exclaim a lot with bugs and all that, the game fascinates me, it is excellent in almost everything, I have only reached the first boss and I have loved almost everything.
The electrifying, flowing and rhythmic music that this game brings; The super cute graphic design of the protagonists, a gameplay very similar to that of undertale (with the theme of moving to avoid enemy attacks while protecting your soul and shooting the enemy figures) but with gem-moving games (such as candycrush ) and casting spells (as if it were an RPG game), it seems like a game phenomenon in all that.
The bad thing that I find with the game is how little 'versatile' the game can become in terms of configuration, such as not being able to play only with the keyboard (on PC) or that you cannot change certain buttons (such as moving For the stage with WASD or not being able to leave the automatic trigger of the Right Click, you have to keep space for that). The brightness and the color tone that you cannot change (although with that I exaggerate a bit xD). If it is very short it can be quite disappointing or if all the skills and monsters are the same it can become boring (although I do not ask you for impossible things either)
If it weren't a fetish game, I'm not exaggerating that it could even make it to the Nintendo Switch. In summary, the game seems great to me but the bugs and the lack of versatility damage it. The game is yours and is very good being an indie, you can take the suggestions from the comments or not, Good luck with your game and I hope you are recognized as a good developer, that is my criticism of this hidden gem :3
Oh thanks! Nah it's no problem at all, I appreciate it ^^
Of course there is still a lot of room for improvement, with this being a demo and all. I want there to be more varied spells for sure, both for the player and monsters. Also it's true that the automatic trigger could be toggled on/off, instead of having to hold the space key! I hadn't thought of that. Moving around with WASD would be good too. I'll change this later, though maybe not for this current version but instead for the next one.
But yeah thank you! I'll do my best to make it as good as I can. :D

I made an account just to stay up to date on this. I played the demo, expecting it be some half-baked game made in 15 minutes with no forethought put into it. Boy was I wrong. Just to be clear, I am ignoring the whole BE thing, mainly because it's just not my cup of tea. I am, however, focusing on the gameplay, the visuals, and the audio. This game looks like it has a lot of heart put into, and it shows. Everything is so colorful and vibrant and it's adorable. The battle mechanics are difficult for me as I have a neurological disorder, but I've managed worse before. Still, it is a lot of fun to fight enemies. I enjoy the point and click style of exploration. I often found myself just clicking random things to see what they did. That's how I accidentally found out that clicking the main characters causes them to react. The audio is very fun to listen to. Very very fun to listen to. The artwork is outstanding, so much so that I often just looked looked for battles, just so I can see the characters' in full. There's a lot this game is doing well, and I really look forward to seeing the full release. Ps: I would totally pay 20 bucks for the completed game when it's finished. Anyway, keep up the good work, NoseBecc!!!
Whoa thank you! BE is a part of the game, but the game itself matters just as much to me, if not more. I'm really happy you enjoyed it! The fights will be more manageable at first in the actual game, they're a bit brutal in the demo. I'll try my best to make it as good and fun as possible ^^

So far I have been ADORING this game, but I do have a slight issue, on my computer I only have a touch pad, which can make rotating objects very difficult other than getting a mouse, is there an alternate way to rotate things?
Sorry, that's not possible in the version you're playing, but I've already implemented an alternative way to rotate items, right click and middle click, by using the WASD keys, the left alt key and the left shift key respectively for the next version.
Though I suppose I could update the current demo with this addition... There is a chance you won't be able to transfer your save file to the updated version though, but if that's ok with you, I'll do it!
This is such a good game, I've put so many hours in it. The combat itself is fun, which caught me by surprise. Can't stress just how much I love this game!
Yeah that was definitely a lot of work taken care of ^^
There are still a few mechanics and various fixes/improvements to be implemented. Since I also want more content of all kinds for the next demo however (areas, monstergirls, shapes, spells etc...), that means it won't be out before at least another few months o:
I wouldn't be able to tell you right now, but I wouldn't expect the full game to be ready before 2 years at least. The next demo should happen before that though!
upon opening the file i get this error message anything i should do to fix it? ############################################################################################ FATAL ERROR in Vertex Shader compilation ShaderName: shdr_ItemShine

i wanted to say even though this game is a BE game the game mechanics and the way the game is made me literally forget about that,that’s how good the game is that I forgot about the BE XD.i also wanted to ask what are the monster poll exactly are they monsters that will be implemented in the future or are they only pictures
Was not ready for the combat at all, that said. I love it. It's rare lately that a game makes me feel stressed while being enjoyable.
There's a decent chance it falls on me not knowing quite what I'm doing yet but not long after starting a battle the screen is mostly empty and the Reshuffle ends up with mostly cursed tiles. I'm hoping to get a little better at this and eventually beat Nightmare as she keeps rocking my world.
To the top left of the board is a number called the stock, it shows how many blocks have yet to fall into the board. Once it's down to 0, no more blocks will fall. Reshuffling while there are still blocks on the board will cause cursed blocks to appear, so I recommend emtying it as much as possible before refilling.
Nightmare is tough for sure, I recommend ranking up if possible, and getting a heal combo spell. Getting one of the pyramid relics could also help a lot!
Ended up creating an account here because of this game, and I got a bit to say.
I was honestly drawn in because of the BE content, and the amazing art, and it is indeed one of my favorite parts of this game. I was surprisingly enthralled by the mechanics of the game though. I love puzzle matching games, and have loved it since Pokemon Puzzle league (If anyone remembers that game). It took me a little while to get the hang of it, but once I did, I was in LOVE with it. I never thought these two elements of gaming could blend SO WELL together. I'll be telling so many of my artist and gaming buddies about this awesome game!
That being said, I do have ONE question:
Is there a way to delete my save so I can start over fresh? Now that I understand the mechanics, I would like to try a fresh run!
Oh wow thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it that much! :D
There is no way to delete the save in game (I'll be implementing that later though). For now, you'll have to go to AppData\Local and delete the BE_Witches_(version) folder.
Having completed the demo I just had to make an account to say I Really love this game! Art, music and gameplay looking great so far.
Took me a while to figure out some of the alchemy puzzels wern't done in more than a single movement.
Think you may have already said you were working on "defeat screen" art for the girls/monsters. Slight appearance changes at % damage would be a nice addition too.
It's nice to be able to increase and decrease the character's after amplification, I may just be blind but a way to adjust the monsters' after resetting would be nice as well (personally I prefer Vuu Amp 3+4, so being able to tune down nightmare 5 for example would be handy).
QOL: being able to see the mana costs of spells in battle.
Looking forward to seeing the next update, keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot! There will be a small tutorial for alchemy later, as well as a way to adjust the monsters' rank at some point, the end game button is just for this demo.
Good idea for the spell cost, I need to improve the fight UI a bit so I'll make sure to keep it in mind ^^
Cute and creative gameplay, watched a friend stream it with about eight other people. Would love to be able to hear the battle theme on its own outside of the game, it's very catchy!
One small peeve i had was that on the pre-battle character selection screen the character icons to switch between characters were very small. It took my friend a while to realise he could even switch characters with those icons, id make them considerably bigger and more obvious.
Hi i'm having problems with an error the game used to work but now the error appears I manage to get to the click to start screen then the error appears
this is the error:
FATAL ERROR in action number 1 of Other Event: User Defined 0 for object obj_ExplorationController: DoSub :1: undefined value at gml_Script_slowdown_target
stack frame is gml_Script_slowdown_target (line 0) gml_Object_obj_ExplorationController_Other_10
Are you playing the most recent version? Did you play the game and save before? Did you try modifying your save? Sorry about the questions, I'll try to identify the source of the bug.
Thank you! Do you think you could upload your save somewhere so I can run a few tests on it? It's a folder called BE_Witches_(version) located in AppData\Local.
Removing your save might fix the problem, but that might only be a temporary solution.
Either way, I'll look into it. Sorry about that :/
It will take another few months before the next update is ready. I still have to add/improve a few mechanics, after which all that's left is for me to add more content (locations, characters, shapes, items etc)
I put a lot of effort into the combat, glad you liked it! There is still a lot of room for improvement though, and I'm working on improving them and making them more varied in several ways.
It's a very great game. I hope for more updates, maybe adding more interactive objects in the background would be a nice idea. I have one question, I ranked up monsters a few time but I don't know if it still changes something, how many times I should reset bosses to see everything I can and complete the game by going as far as I can?
I tried using that, and got the same error, unfortunately. I can get to the page which links to your patreon and twitter just fine, the game only crashes when I click on the arrows in the bottom-left.
Weird, I thought for sure the install would take care of that. I got this issue on a laptop a while back, and it turned out I was missing some drivers. This is what fixed it at the time:
1) I was wondering if there is enough power orbs in the game to Max each character, because it looks like there is only 5(from what I can tell) and I'm pretty sure each character maxes out at five
2) I'm trying to beat nightmare because it's the only thing I can think of that I need to progress story but I just CANT beat her. I have one power orb but am afraid to use it for the above problem. Is there something I should do to get stronger?
There isn't much I can do about that I'm afraid, that's probably a GameMaker thing. I might look into making it compatible with Linux in the future, but that's not my priority for now.

how do i use cheats in cheat version
There are no cheat codes, the cheat version allows you to rank up the characters easily at the big red crystal and unlocks all the alchemy recipes so you can try to solve them all without gathering the ingredients.
Is there any way to restart, reset or go back to the beginning of the game I've played it for a long time and I don't remember what I already did and what I haven't done and I would like to start over
There will be an easy way to delete your save file in the next demo, but for now you have to do it manually by going to AppData/Local and deleting the BE_Witches folder. Sorry about that!
just wondering when and what will be in the next update
also there is no need to rush the update take your time
Thank you ^^
I'll still domy best to get the next demo out as soon as possible!
It will be out this year in 2021, but I don't want to give a precise date until I know can meet it.
What I can say is that it is still at least 5 months away. I also use my Patreon as a dev blog basically, in case you're interested!
Is there a way to make the game fullscreen? I feel like I'm missing something super obvious.
You can go fullscreen in the settings tab. Click on the trilobite in the bottom left while in the overworld to open the inventory, and then select the settings tab at the top right!
I knew I was missing something. I had a feeling it was in the settings, but I couldn't find the settings. Thank you so much.
No problem ^^
I'll make sure to explain it in the next version.
Awesome. Glad I was able to help in that regard at least! Also, one more quick question. Is this an h-game? I don't really care if it is. It doesn't bother me. I downloaded it because the gameplay looked interesting, I'm mainly asking so that I know whether it's safe to play it if other people are in the room. Roommates don't care if you have scantily clad anime girls in the living room. Roommates do care if you have hentai in the living lol. I didn't notice anything on the about page differentiating either way.
No, it's not an h game! It does have scantily clad anime girls and BE, but no actual nudity or sex scenes.
Show post...
so sweet
Thank you ^^
How do i progress in the game? i need help
Where exactly are you stuck?
I recommend the walkthrough if you're not sure what's left to do: https://www.patreon.com/posts/walkthrough-by-33962675
Well i got stuck were to continue the story.Becouse after the caracter wakes up in the game i got stuck after getting 2 fire gems and getting another quest from a person i think
tho were do i find the embel?
You need to go in the ocean for now. You'll be able to find more gems there, and the emblem as well!
i need some help again.wat do i put hre?
Is there a faster/easier way to kill the nightmare? cause ive been grinding for like an hour to get to lvl 10 and still cant. like i get shes level 11, but this just seems a bit much...

Did you beat her? Shape management is half the battle!
Good job on the recent developers log, really appreciate all the hard work! Fingers crossed for some news in the NewYear!
Thank you! ^^
The next demo is still a few months away, but I'll make sure to share a release date as soon as I have one I know for sure I can meet!
Holy shit dude whoever made this it's literally the best game on this damn site I would love to see the full release, hell if you want help creating anything honestly hmu the shit is amazing
lol thanks, glad you like it!
I'm still working on it but if you can think of any way to spread the word about it I'd definitely appreciate that! ^^
There's no ingame option to do so yet, so for now you'll have to go to AppData/Local and delete the BE_Witches folder to start over!
I will! Thank you!

The shark crashes the game
I'm not too sure what you mean... Did you get an error message?
This enemy, I can't fight him; This happens if i fight him.
The black background is not supposed to happen, but does clicking on the VS heart work?
I assume your second pic contained more info, but the link seems to be broken and I can't see it...

Is there a way to delete my save so I can start over fresh? Now that I understand the mechanics, I would like to try a fresh run!
Oh wow thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it that much! :D
There is no way to delete the save in game (I'll be implementing that later though). For now, you'll have to go to AppData\Local and delete the BE_Witches_(version) folder.
Having completed the demo I just had to make an account to say I Really love this game! Art, music and gameplay looking great so far.
Took me a while to figure out some of the alchemy puzzels wern't done in more than a single movement.
Think you may have already said you were working on "defeat screen" art for the girls/monsters. Slight appearance changes at % damage would be a nice addition too.
It's nice to be able to increase and decrease the character's after amplification, I may just be blind but a way to adjust the monsters' after resetting would be nice as well (personally I prefer Vuu Amp 3+4, so being able to tune down nightmare 5 for example would be handy).
QOL: being able to see the mana costs of spells in battle.
Looking forward to seeing the next update, keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot!
There will be a small tutorial for alchemy later, as well as a way to adjust the monsters' rank at some point, the end game button is just for this demo.
Good idea for the spell cost, I need to improve the fight UI a bit so I'll make sure to keep it in mind ^^
Cute and creative gameplay, watched a friend stream it with about eight other people. Would love to be able to hear the battle theme on its own outside of the game, it's very catchy!
One small peeve i had was that on the pre-battle character selection screen the character icons to switch between characters were very small. It took my friend a while to realise he could even switch characters with those icons, id make them considerably bigger and more obvious.
Oh thank you!
the pre battle screen does need a bit of work yeah, I'll be improving it soonish :)

Hi i'm having problems with an error the game used to work but now the error appears I manage to get to the click to start screen then the error appears
this is the error:
FATAL ERROR in
action number 1
of Other Event: User Defined 0
for object obj_ExplorationController:
DoSub :1: undefined value
at gml_Script_slowdown_target
stack frame is
gml_Script_slowdown_target (line 0)
gml_Object_obj_ExplorationController_Other_10
(sorry if this is uninformative)
Weird, that's a new one.
Are you playing the most recent version? Did you play the game and save before? Did you try modifying your save?
Sorry about the questions, I'll try to identify the source of the bug.
I think I'm playing on the most recent version, I saved before it happened and I didn't try modding my save
Thank you! Do you think you could upload your save somewhere so I can run a few tests on it? It's a folder called BE_Witches_(version) located in AppData\Local.
Removing your save might fix the problem, but that might only be a temporary solution.
Either way, I'll look into it. Sorry about that :/
I don't have the save any more sorry I uninstalled the game then reinstalled it but if the error appears again I'll send the save
(I'm sorry and if I can I will try to get the error message then I'll send the save)
Uninstalling and reinstalling might leave the save intact, but I'm not sure.
Anyway no problem, thanks for reporting the bug! :D
great game but when is the next update?
It will take another few months before the next update is ready. I still have to add/improve a few mechanics, after which all that's left is for me to add more content (locations, characters, shapes, items etc)
good to know. thanks
Really well made, a lot of production quality too!
Thank you! :D
Hope more people give it a try to spread more about the game, I had a lot of pleasant surprises, specially on the creativity of some combats!
I hope so too ^^
I put a lot of effort into the combat, glad you liked it! There is still a lot of room for improvement though, and I'm working on improving them and making them more varied in several ways.
Found a pretty easy exploitable glitch/bug that let me have infinite flame, so I can have infinite money.
Just need to press Up, so easy. :P
Also work in the inventory section.
lmao that's yet another debug thing I forgot to remove, woops. Thank you!
You can buy/sell/equip faster by clicking the mouse wheel btw!
It's a very great game. I hope for more updates, maybe adding more interactive objects in the background would be a nice idea. I have one question, I ranked up monsters a few time but I don't know if it still changes something, how many times I should reset bosses to see everything I can and complete the game by going as far as I can?
That's the plan!
You can rank up the monsters 3 times, up to rank 4. It's purely a visual change though.
one thing I want to ask. will the amplification end at 5 or do you plan to go farther?
The amplifications end at 5 for every girl, and every girl will be able to join your party at some point!
Hi, really interested to play this game, but whenever I try to launch from the title screen the following error occurs;
FATAL ERROR in Vertex Shader compilation
ShaderName: shdr_ItemShine
D3DXCompile failed - result
at gml_Object_obj_Title_Draw_0
Any idea what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance
(on windows btw, and am using the most recent version for windows)
Using the installer version should fix this. Tell me if it doesn't so I can look into it! :)
I tried using that, and got the same error, unfortunately. I can get to the page which links to your patreon and twitter just fine, the game only crashes when I click on the arrows in the bottom-left.
Weird, I thought for sure the install would take care of that. I got this issue on a laptop a while back, and it turned out I was missing some drivers. This is what fixed it at the time:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=35
I'll see if I can find a way to prevent that from happening.
I installed the stuff on the link and it worked like a charm. Best of luck in finding what is causing the issue.
Nice! It seems the best way to take care of this would be to explain this in a readme, I'll do that in the future.
Happy to know it worked!
So a few quick questions:
1) I was wondering if there is enough power orbs in the game to Max each character, because it looks like there is only 5(from what I can tell) and I'm pretty sure each character maxes out at five
2) I'm trying to beat nightmare because it's the only thing I can think of that I need to progress story but I just CANT beat her. I have one power orb but am afraid to use it for the above problem. Is there something I should do to get stronger?
How can you delet your save File to start it from new because even if i delet the game from my pc it`s still there
Go to AppData/Local and delete the BE_Witches folder
Game crashes when trying to open the title screen under Wine. Installing d3d9 via winetricks did not help.
There isn't much I can do about that I'm afraid, that's probably a GameMaker thing. I might look into making it compatible with Linux in the future, but that's not my priority for now.
