Truly an amazing game with an interesting story and funny/cute/thick characters!
The different combat stiles that are used are very well made and are easy to understand but hard to master!
It's VERY rare to find a game like this on Itch and I'm happy I found this hidden gem of a game. Wish you good luck with the progress of this game and I hope we see more masterpieces from you on the future! :]
( Also the dark twist in the intro caught me off-guard, but in a good way :P )
Hey, I love the game, but I am having a problem. You see, there are two totems that have shadowed items in their slots that is preventing me from putting the actual item into them. Both of them are in Sablee. One is in the bottom of the map needing a sand ant honey, and the other in on the island across the ocean that needs a jellied tentacle. Help would be appreciated.
I love this game so much!! The writing, the characters and their design, the world, the colors, the music, the gameplay... Everything feels so polished and good! Thank you for bringing your ideas out into the world! I'll be subscribing on Patreon and rooting for you all the way!
perfect game, would totaly say god tier on itch, i would classify it at same level as other popular indie, as undertale or maybe deltarune , ofc less fan base but for itch your game is VERY VERY VERY WELL DONE, i love it, i'll even support this on patreon soon :3 , just one question , the game is how many % finished ? will it be complete for 2030 ? XD
It's only a rough estimate, but the game should be about 20~25% done currently (playable content wise). There are a few years of work left before it's finished, but I certainly hope it will be out by 2030 lol!
Oh damn! Thank you so much! ^^ The next update in a couple months will be mostly optimization focused, so not too much new content there, but the one after that will have a bunch of new additions! I'll make sure to share a release date when I have one :B
Thank you again, I'm glad you enjoyed it this much!!!
Hi. Sorry for asking but i have a question. Where can i download some of the soundtracks from the game because some of them are really good and i wanna listen to them while i work or playing games.
Some of the composers I've worked with have yet to upload their tracks though, so if you notice some are missing, that's why. Sadly I'm not too sure myself when the missing tracks will be uploaded...!
1. I hadn't thought of that, that's a good idea, thank you! I'll see if this can be implemented without issues in a future update ^^
2. Rank 6 will be the last one
3. The next update in a few months will mostly be an optimization update without too much new content, if any. After that will be a big update with new content (including more boob content), but I don't have a date for this one currently... Sorry!
Might be early to ask this, but do you have any plans to include a way to rematch bosses? As a completionist missing out on items that drop once a playthrough kinda sucks.
Thanks for the quick response, my question was more so pointed towards the full game but it's good to know that boss specific drops won't be a one and done deal.
I know you said about discord's limited to Patreon members, (You could just give them a role if they subscribe to your Patreon in Discord for exclusive poll stuff) but I mainly want to just talk about the game in about a few key points in it. (Or general stuff.) Not in it for the poll or anything (Even though that was one of your main points of why it's exclusive to Patreon) just wanted to have general chat about the game because of a few things I want to ask and more down the road like How many power orbs are in this current build, and what is the level cap per rank? And seriously though, this game is really fun. Keep the good work up.
Though I'm sorry, I prefer to keep the Discord server as it is...! It's way easier for me to manage that way.
I don't actually remember the level cap per rank currently (whatever I set it to, it might change in the future!), but I can tell you there are 13 Power orbs! You might also find more answers in the walkthrough: https://www.patreon.com/posts/119207938
That is understandable with your discord situation, i'm sure it'll be a bit tricky to manage. HOWEVER, I double checked your walkthrough (and played the game twice.) And the 13th power orb i'm missing is in nightmares room but I opened the chest and there's no power orb. I even got 100% in both the map and the treasures. The version of the game I'm playing is 2025 07 29, btw.
Apologies, it looks like I removed that power orb in a previous update since it didn't serve much of a purpose, and entirely forgot about it! I'll be updating the walkthrough asap!
Well to be fair I was using your outdated (Not Patreon) walkthrough 3.05 version (To verify) I believe, Sorry if I didn't mention that. Also why did you had 13 power orbs but decided to remove the last one by the end of it? And how many power orbs (I know I'm asking early) are there going to be by the full game? And I need to know how many more playable characters are there going to be by the end of the game, (Demo and/ or full game) like 50 or 60? And lastly, I'm going to assume the last rank (The 6th rank) is reserved for the full game, yes? I'm curious. Okay and then I'll leave you alone.
I did, the over-world puzzles are pretty damn hard for me to do, but the game is fun yeah. What criticism/personal problems with the game I do have is this, I was stuck on the first color petal puzzle for a long time before I managed to comprehend just what was going on it was not well explained, then ragequit on the undersea fish memorization? puzzle IDK it was really unclear what to do and the random battles were wearing on me because I was wandering around randomly trying to parse just what the puzzle even was.
Thank you! That's super fair, Sablee Ocean is actually an artifact from the older demo where it was basically the meat of the game. It has no place being as big and obtuse as it is anymore, especially as a tuto dungeon. For the fish puzzle, I'll try to make it clearer that you're meant to use the note system! I'm planning some encounter rate changes as well. I'll be implementing these changes in the next big update ^^
It is not normal, you might have some luck toggling fullscreen on/off and changing the resolution in windowed mode, but sadly in some rare cases this can happen, due to Game Maker being very obsolete at this point... I'm planning to release a Game maker 2 ported version of the game in a few months which should fix this issue for good, but sadly right now this is all I got...
If can solve the problem of "enhance point precision (acceleration?)", that would be great. very Thanks. (I checked the settings, I really don't know if it's a issue or intentional design)
Beat the demo after 20 hours, I didn't expect this long at all. Surely an astonishingly polished game! A few small questions:
1. Is it possible to complete every map in 100%?
2. If so, is there anyway to return to previous maps? I assume in the full game this would be possible but probably not in this demo? I feel like I missed quite some secrets back in Sablee...
3. I only found 7 black pearl, guess I'm missing 3?
Anyway, this game exceeds my expectation and goes waaay beyond! The immense amount of details are mind blowing. The only "downside" is I'll have to wait for at least a few years to see this complete...Wish you best of luck!
Edit: Oh and sorry if these are already answered in the FAQ, I can't access patreon from where I live...
2. This is as Kira said, the pod becomes accessible after you beat Nightmare and lets you go back to Sablee and Auria, you can find it in the very top right of the Rietti plains ^^
Oh pls don't trouble yourself for this! Thank you for the effort, still! BE Witches truly reminds me of the golden era of video games, where you get constantly surprised by creator's unique and fun ideas, I laughed so hard when I first found out that you can listen Tril's mad drum beat. This game really has a soul. And BOOBA of course! Wish I can support you more but I can only wait to buy the complete game.
Did you have inspiration from soul eater when you did the nightmare spheres? I'm just reading the manga ATM and noticed that pretty much the same situation is going on there... I'd argue there are even parallels between the way your witches are being corrupted and the "madness infection" in soul eater
Not trying to call you out or something, just curious
I added the game to a collection and now I get a note in my feed when it updates. Maybe it's because I follow you... haven't figured out which (add to collection or follow creator) makes itch send notes though
I might found a bug? Consumabales just disappeared from the storage. Any item falls into this category all just vanished after exiting and re entering the game., no matter what kind, food or encounter modifiers.
By the way I'm kinda confused by something, during battle there are some unavoidable attack right? I'm getting swooped by Celery a few times now on 2x difficuty, and some of her attack just took 100+ points of my health bar...I want to make sure this is not because I'm not careful enough.
That's correct! You'll either need to cast a defense buff on yourself or an attack debuff on her before the attack hits. Better equipment and leveling up might help as well if you can! Having a healing spell equipped is a good idea as well if you don't have one already. Also, swapping characters does heal you a little bit!
At 2x difficulty though, she essentially deals double damage, so it's gonna be tough either way ^^
I've updated the game by the way, you should be able to just redownload it and your save should work as is! You won't be able to get back the item you lost, but at least consumables will be saved normally from now on. Sorry about that!
Well thank you for the hot fix! Another question, which you have probably answered somewhere else already, but how much complete is BE Withes? Is there like a rough estimation about when would this game come out on steam? I'm fasinated by both the quality and quantity of this game. Good luck developing!
That's a difficult question! I usually estimate about 20~25% of the content is done in this demo. This only a rough estimate though! I'm currently focusing on the chibi BE sprites which will be the target of the next big update (among other things). I don't have a clear date for the update or for the full release sadly, but I'm hard at work! As soon as I have a release date I'm confident in, I'll be sure to share it on Itch and twitter and Patreon, and everywhere really ^^
I've not heard of someone trying this before, so I can't confirm anything, sorry... All I can say is that this game wasn't designed for mobile, I'm really not sure the experience would be all that great even if it did run through Winlator.
I absolutely hate I have to ask this in the first place but I've been burned too many times not to, is the current fiasco with Itch / payment processors going to lead to BE Witches being censored or it's setting toned down?
I know you'll make good on this, but I will hold you to it anyways. I do not and cannot take such declarations lightly. Looking forward to the next version.
I'm not exactly sure! For now, I'll wait and see what happens. In any case, the game will still be available on Patreon. If I have anything to announce, I'll be sure to post about it everywhere I can! Here, on Steam, on Patreon, Bluesky, Twitter etc
The Discord server is Patreon exclusive yes, it's possible to discuss in there but its main purpose is for the monstergirl polls, which is why it's for patrons only!
Discord offers you various settings to differenciate between usergroups, for example you could have your patreons have a special role and a channel that is only accessible through that role. I'm not sure how much work it'd be to verify patreons though, so I'd understand if you didn't want to go through the trouble
I did consider this a few times but given that its main purpose is the polls, I chose to keep it simple. It's also way easier to manage that way for me! Maybe I'll change my mind someday, but I'll leave it as is for the time being ^^

There is gonna be a toggle option for visible nipples and cloth ripping?
No, there are no plans for nudity!
Podrías hacerlo para navegadores también? Entiendo si no se puede
I'm sorry, I don't have plans for a browser version...
Came for the BOOBA...
Stayed for the gameplay !
Truly an amazing game with an interesting story and funny/cute/thick characters!
The different combat stiles that are used are very well made and are easy to understand but hard to master!
It's VERY rare to find a game like this on Itch and I'm happy I found this hidden gem of a game. Wish you good luck with the progress of this game and I hope we see more masterpieces from you on the future! :]
( Also the dark twist in the intro caught me off-guard, but in a good way :P )
Aw thank so much! I'll keep doing my best ^^
Hey, I love the game, but I am having a problem. You see, there are two totems that have shadowed items in their slots that is preventing me from putting the actual item into them. Both of them are in Sablee. One is in the bottom of the map needing a sand ant honey, and the other in on the island across the ocean that needs a jellied tentacle. Help would be appreciated.
Nevermind... I figured it out. They're clues...
This is probably the first game that im actauly going to buy on steam on full relese🔥🔥Absolutly love it keep up the good work the art style is amazing
Thank you so much! ^^
Never really noticed until earlier but is Axelle's placeholder sprite supposed to be floating? Or is it a bug?
That's normal, Axelle will be a flying character like Ghost or Fairy ^^
I love this game so much!! The writing, the characters and their design, the world, the colors, the music, the gameplay... Everything feels so polished and good! Thank you for bringing your ideas out into the world! I'll be subscribing on Patreon and rooting for you all the way!
Aw thank you so much! It means a lot ^^
perfect game, would totaly say god tier on itch, i would classify it at same level as other popular indie, as undertale or maybe deltarune , ofc less fan base but for itch your game is VERY VERY VERY WELL DONE, i love it, i'll even support this on patreon soon :3 , just one question , the game is how many % finished ? will it be complete for 2030 ?

yay :3 , cuz the game is legit amazing, and hope it will be finished :3, am afraid that another great project get abandoned like some other on itch :c
i fear that mostly, cuz your art style on this game is incredible
Oh no worries there, I've been working on it for years and I won't stop until it's finished ^^
Super love this game, I have over 50 hours on steam! Got all the characters to rank 5; way ready for the next big update.
Oh damn! Thank you so much! ^^
The next update in a couple months will be mostly optimization focused, so not too much new content there, but the one after that will have a bunch of new additions! I'll make sure to share a release date when I have one :B
Thank you again, I'm glad you enjoyed it this much!!!
Hi. Sorry for asking but i have a question. Where can i download some of the soundtracks from the game because some of them are really good and i wanna listen to them while i work or playing games.
Thank you, I'm glad you like the tracks! ^^
Most of the OST is available here: https://soundcloud.com/commodorekulor/sets/be-witches-demo-ost
Some of the composers I've worked with have yet to upload their tracks though, so if you notice some are missing, that's why. Sadly I'm not too sure myself when the missing tracks will be uploaded...!
Hi. I have some questions.
1. So there is an item that teleports u to a save room. Can u make an item that teleports u right where u were before using the first item?
2. U said that there will be stage 6. This is the final stage or u will add stage 7,8 etc?
3. This year will it be a big update ?
4. Is Vestia gonna return ?
1. I hadn't thought of that, that's a good idea, thank you! I'll see if this can be implemented without issues in a future update ^^
2. Rank 6 will be the last one
3. The next update in a few months will mostly be an optimization update without too much new content, if any. After that will be a big update with new content (including more boob content), but I don't have a date for this one currently... Sorry!
4. No comments! :B
Might be early to ask this, but do you have any plans to include a way to rematch bosses? As a completionist missing out on items that drop once a playthrough kinda sucks.
There is already a way to do that in the demo! You can click the floating cards in the demo's final boss room ^^
There will also be a way to refight bosses in the final game, though the way this will work will be a bit different from the demo
Thanks for the quick response, my question was more so pointed towards the full game but it's good to know that boss specific drops won't be a one and done deal.

That last orb just felt kinda unnecessary really ^^
Hard to say how many there will be in the final version... 100 would be a nice number, but who knows!
There will be over 60 playable monstergirls ^^
And yeah! The last rank will be full release only, I won't reveal it before then
Got recommended this game on a r/Curatedtumblr thread. : )
Hope you'll like it! ^^

I just started playing this game recently. Is it normal for the cursor in-game not to move as expected? (ver
2025.02.252025.02.05)Will raw input be supported in the future?
It is not normal, you might have some luck toggling fullscreen on/off and changing the resolution in windowed mode, but sadly in some rare cases this can happen, due to Game Maker being very obsolete at this point...

You can visit previous regions with the pod you used to escape from the towers. At some point it's repaired again.
You can find it near where you crashed it originally
Damn it I just checked the pod before the Nightmare fight! I didn't expect it would be repaired afterwards, thanks for the info!
Oh thank you so much! ^^
1. It is yes!
2. This is as Kira said, the pod becomes accessible after you beat Nightmare and lets you go back to Sablee and Auria, you can find it in the very top right of the Rietti plains ^^
3. There are 13 Power orbs in total!
Damn, I didn't realize Patreon was straight up inaccessible in some parts of the world... I uploaded the walkthrough here in case you need it: https://mega.nz/file/CwtB0ZrI#kkqsYmVjKk2ZuyQDGtExrdUD8S9u9aZKpEgEQuUzZWE

I'd argue there are even parallels between the way your witches are being corrupted and the "madness infection" in soul eater
Not trying to call you out or something, just curious
When is steam release planned?
The demo is already on Steam, but if you mean the final release, sorry, I don't have a date yet!
Updated, nice
Just a small bugfix really ^^
Out of curiosity, how did you know? Did you receive a notification about it?
I added the game to a collection and now I get a note in my feed when it updates. Maybe it's because I follow you... haven't figured out which (add to collection or follow creator) makes itch send notes though
Same, I followed this game development since years
Shoot, I didn't realize such a small update would trigger a notification. Thank you, I'll post a quick explanation to prevent more confusion then!
its following, collection doesn't tell you
Ah thanks, nice to know
I might found a bug? Consumabales just disappeared from the storage. Any item falls into this category all just vanished after exiting and re entering the game., no matter what kind, food or encounter modifiers.
Shoot, I just tested it and sure enough, the consumables disappeared after loading a save. Thank you very much, I'll fix this asap!
By the way I'm kinda confused by something, during battle there are some unavoidable attack right? I'm getting swooped by Celery a few times now on 2x difficuty, and some of her attack just took 100+ points of my health bar...I want to make sure this is not because I'm not careful enough.

Can i run this game on winlator? Did someone has try it?
Someone pls reply 😭🙏🙏
I've not heard of someone trying this before, so I can't confirm anything, sorry... All I can say is that this game wasn't designed for mobile, I'm really not sure the experience would be all that great even if it did run through Winlator.
Thanks dev team for reply! But yea kinda sad too, i really want to try this cool looking game by my own hand if i have right set up on winlator 🥲
I absolutely hate I have to ask this in the first place but I've been burned too many times not to, is the current fiasco with Itch / payment processors going to lead to BE Witches being censored or it's setting toned down?
Never! BEW will not get censored in any way!
Thank you for the reassurance, BE Witches has a delightful setting and gameplay loop, and I'd hate to see it neutered because of outside forces.
I know you'll make good on this, but I will hold you to it anyways. I do not and cannot take such declarations lightly.
Looking forward to the next version.
That's fair enough! Thank you ^^
With steam and itch taking down sexual games, where would you move this if it gets taken off steam?
I too am concerned about this, this game is fantastic and I dont want to see it go down
Aw thank you ^^
One way or another, I'll keep going. Nothing will make me give up, so no worries!
I'm not exactly sure! For now, I'll wait and see what happens.
In any case, the game will still be available on Patreon. If I have anything to announce, I'll be sure to post about it everywhere I can! Here, on Steam, on Patreon, Bluesky, Twitter etc
Is your bluesky under the same name? Like hell am i going to lose this game

Hey, do you have a discord we could join, or is it Patreon exclusiv
Hi ^^
The Discord server is Patreon exclusive yes, it's possible to discuss in there but its main purpose is for the monstergirl polls, which is why it's for patrons only!
Discord offers you various settings to differenciate between usergroups, for example you could have your patreons have a special role and a channel that is only accessible through that role.
I'm not sure how much work it'd be to verify patreons though, so I'd understand if you didn't want to go through the trouble
I did consider this a few times but given that its main purpose is the polls, I chose to keep it simple. It's also way easier to manage that way for me!
Maybe I'll change my mind someday, but I'll leave it as is for the time being ^^
