This rekindled the complete, and utter fascination I had after watching a Let's Play of this game. Viola and Ellen had such interesting designs, but perhaps recognizing them what made it interesting. Chiika gave Ellen an adorable voice of a young child, not yet a woman, and the animations are exactly how I imagined they would be if she sang the song with movements. What I found the best was the entire thing, but the end was very true, sad and an excellent idea.
This video could make a Navy SEAL unit cry. JOKES, but it'd certainly stir up their heart over what they are conditioned to experience out there. Anyway this video really did capture Elllen's soul in it. It left me amazed over how beautifully put the video was! Good job. :)
Glad I'm not the only one who notices that! Considering you know about the storyline and plot twist, I have a headcanon that her eyes were the side effect/intended "mark" of the pact made between Ellen and the Black Cat. After all, the cat is a demon who makes deals ;)
It's The Witch's House, and it's a game filled with nothing but jump scares and pain when you get the true ending. I beat it months ago and I'm STILL shook up over how tragic this story is.
If there is anyone to hate, I think it's the cat demon. He was the one who gave Ellen her powers and therefore the body swapping spell. Not to mention it's implied he ate Viola's soul in the end.
In the ending with the no save. She downright seems giddy that she takes Viola's place. And her journals hint she actually cut her legs off, and gouged out her eyes so Viola couldn't escape, and then when she wouldn't stop screaming, she scalded her throat so she couldn't scream anymore. She intentionally silenced her "Friend" It's a hard ending to get since you can't save with the cat.
The part I don't get about the body switch is wouldn't viola know that she gouged her eyes out and cut off her own legs or did she do that too her after or what? I know she tricked her saying it was mess but was a throat salve which silenced her but what about the rest
omg... you're right!! ^o^ (well, from my opinion...) RANDOM THOUGHT FOR FUN: we could almost "say" what happened in "Witch's house" is like the parallel world of what happened AFTER the story in "Mad father"... Ellen being an alternate Aya...(except that her parents actually loved her...maybe too much for the father....) (ellen=witch-->aya=u know what....dont wanna spoil) this comparison is quite funny ^_^
she looks so sweet, innocent and vulnerable but in reality shescompletely different i have to keep reminding myself shes the bad guy although it is sad she had such a horrid life
im just sad this game makes me sad just by thinking of it that witch is a just evil :'( LOVE YOUR VIDEO ! ITS JUST PERFECT it shows all they gameplay in SONG FORM :D
there is a way to get a real good ending but you have try not to save the game by the demon cat it's very tricky but it works that all I know. :) took me like along time to get though the whole game but it was awesome (i'm not going to spoil it)
Although Ellen definitely went to far, you can't blame her to much. She was desprite for love and attention and just wanted to live a happy life. I'm pretty sure anyone in her place would've at least thought about doing something like that.
*sigh* did you not go through the trouble of finding the true ending? If not then you should be cussing out Viola. Ellen is Viola and Viola is Ellen if that makes any sense. If not i'll clarify. Ellen switched bodies with Viola trapping her in the Legless Girl. Any more questions? No? Good.
Well, it was a lot more than mean! What I was saying is I got the names mixed up and as a result was thinking you were saying that the girl made the witch suffer. So I was like 0_o? But I realized my mistake lol.
Something similar to Mary from Ib, all Mary wanted was a friend, and all Ellen wanted was for someone to care about her, but for both of them it went out of hand...
Still, I think you have to admire Ellen to an extent. She never stops trying to escape the house, despite everything trying to kill her, and she downright refuses to give up Viola's body. The lengths she went to get it were quite extreme. You might not like her, but you have to at least respect her, somewhat.
I played the game and then there is 2-3 outcomes and with Mad Father it's 3 but it matters on how you choose to end the game like there is a long ending if you do this special stage and then you have the short one that barely tells you any shit. Also Please do a Mad Father one!!!
The "good" ending doesn't necessarily have to be happy. The "good" ending is considered good because it sheds light on the entire story, despite it being sad. On another note, if you go through the "bad" ending first, it is more of a cheerful ending for those who haven't seen the other ending, which is what makes it sad, that you cheer for Ellen the entire time while hating Viola.
Well, I'd find it more frustrating if I actually played it, Im not annoyed with the video ending, you were just following the story after all.... I guess they really made it not obvious, but... how did Viola get stuck in the woods? Take care Kaoru!
She didn't get stuck. She got into a fight with her father so she was on her way to her friends house and took the wrong path. And ended up at the witches house.
Here's how I see Ellen's story. Ellen was a witch, forgotten, alone and unloved. And she was dying. When Viola came along, they became friends. And Ellen saw that people loved Viola, and that she had the love Ellen never had. So she switched places with Viola, trapping Viola in the house so Ellen could leave the house with her healthy friend's body and live with the love the Viola had. In conclusion, loneliness drove Ellen to do this. Loneliness is a powerful emotion.
Very good job. I enjoyed it.. I really don't like the witch's house's ending.. but i won't say it's not interesting.. Very interesting story, and you did a good job with this.. I still don't want to accept the fact ellen betrayed viola.. fkin hell!.. A good ending would have been the Game Over where Viola (in Ellen's body) manages to grab Ellen (in Viola's body) during the running scene. xD No matter what, there is always a bad ending.. I don't like it.. But it is interesting, i will admit.
I know but I some how dont hate her maybe she went insane from past events and was scared that Viloa would leave her so she prevented that by doing those
All by myself Waiting for a "friend" to show My magic won't help me now Not until you walk through the door Please set me free Don't be afraid I am always by your side Come now, my friend Death's sweet embrace Was once a gift I'd yearned for But now that I have found you I don't need death Not anymore Come set me free You'll be okay I'll keep you safe So, I beg Don't go away Friend... The lyrics. o_-
she did have one, Viola, but Ellen made Viola suffer, i felt sorry for Ellen too, but when i got the bad end...i just, i just, why would she do this to Viola? TT^TT
I wrote a whole reply like, "Um what are you talking about?" and just before posting it I realized I was getting the names mixed up. Dang body swapping, I have a hard enough time keeping names straight as is! -_- It also doesn't help that the one with violet hair isn't Viola lol.
I think this game would make a fantastic horror film.

I looked in my subscriptions and this was there, I am now having a better day, thank you.
Amazing! And the voice of Ellen/Viola fits her so well :D
I love your MMD. Also Ive heard this song before its amazing!
Yep!
It's quite a fun game. Especially with friends to help solve the puzzles.
It's The Witch's House, and it's a game filled with nothing but jump scares and pain when you get the true ending. I beat it months ago and I'm STILL shook up over how tragic this story is.
OMG! that end is so great love it!
OMG THIS FITS THE WITCH'S HOUSE SO PERFECTLY o_O
Kaoru, you have No idea how much I love Mad Father. XD it's my favorite game. By far. :3
If there is anyone to hate, I think it's the cat demon. He was the one who gave Ellen her powers and therefore the body swapping spell. Not to mention it's implied he ate Viola's soul in the end.
you know what? I cried at the end.
poor viola
This was beautiful
This is amazing great job
Wow this is amazing!

Super MMD. Very good
This is amazing I love it
I love the ending!
Amazing!!
that was incredible! You should make more animations like this? Have you heard of Corpse Party?
Well, they're silly, and I think they'll come around, sooner or later. XP Until then, keep doing what you're doing. It looks great. :3
I wanna see a part two to witches house.
omg... you're right!! ^o^ (well, from my opinion...)
RANDOM THOUGHT FOR FUN: we could almost "say" what happened in "Witch's house" is like the parallel world of what happened AFTER the story in "Mad father"... Ellen being an alternate Aya...(except that her parents actually loved her...maybe too much for the father....)

I have been looking for that video! Poor Viola. :-( But it's good, don't get me wrong.
-AoC
AWESOME VIDEO!
Where did you heard or saw that?
This vocalist has the believable voice of a child. This doesn't mean that it sounds unpleasant, on the contrary it's quite charming.
The one that's singing is Ellen and the blonde is Viola
im just sad this game makes me sad just by thinking of it that witch is a just evil :'(
LOVE YOUR VIDEO !
ITS JUST PERFECT
it shows all they gameplay in SONG FORM :D
there is a way to get a real good ending but you have try not to save the game by the demon cat it's very tricky but it works that all I know. :) took me like along time to get though the whole game but it was awesome (i'm not going to spoil it)
Yes she is
Were is the head cannon?
this was awesome QwQ
AGREED!! this is so true
You need to do a "Mad Father" or "Misao" tribute. Please?? O.O
you didn't play the whole song 😢
Have you played the game at all?
Thanxxx for telling me the spoiler alert thing lol I really appreciate it
Essa música faz mim lembra alguém muito especial :,)
OMG THIS IS AMAZING *u*!
Can i use the video for me? i want sing the song
Emotion, so much
i love this song and find the story sad...
Although Ellen definitely went to far, you can't blame her to much. She was desprite for love and attention and just wanted to live a happy life. I'm pretty sure anyone in her place would've at least thought about doing something like that.
There's a good ending?
The witch is Ellen?
love this

who is singing?
I loved this game just thought the ending was a bit sad and depressing the way Ellen betray viola
what song is this?
What's the name of the song
Really? Why can't I find it?
Still, I think you have to admire Ellen to an extent. She never stops trying to escape the house, despite everything trying to kill her, and she downright refuses to give up Viola's body. The lengths she went to get it were quite extreme. You might not like her, but you have to at least respect her, somewhat.
I love this Video *^*
Can you send me a link?

friend
so ellens the witch and violas the helpless little girl right just so im clear
Ellen is so lonely :( Good Vid! :D
Actually yea I see the difference now and nice animation btw

Take care Kaoru!
what was that song called!? (^o^)
She didn't get stuck. She got into a fight with her father so she was on her way to her friends house and took the wrong path. And ended up at the witches house.
Viola willingly took the medicine to remove the pain, but she was tricked even further due to its poisonous nature.
Here's how I see Ellen's story.
Ellen was a witch, forgotten, alone and unloved. And she was dying. When Viola came along, they became friends. And Ellen saw that people loved Viola, and that she had the love Ellen never had.

No matter what, there is always a bad ending.. I don't like it.. But it is interesting, i will admit.
you should make an anime series of the witch's house, that would boost your rating by the number X
It's called "Friend."
thank you i shall try my best :D
but its going to be very hard for me :P
They should make a second game where viola gets revenge
Have you played The Last of Us? There is another game with an ending that will leave you shook up.
The witch is Viola
Viola felt pity for Ellen so granted her her body. Ellen said it was just for a day, but she took Viola's body and left her for dead.
I know but I some how dont hate her maybe she went insane from past events and was scared that Viloa would leave her so she prevented that by doing those
this might be a stupit question but did anyone notice that Ellen looks exactly like aya from mad father?
All by myself
Waiting for a "friend" to show
My magic won't help me now
Not until you walk through the door
Please set me free
Don't be afraid
I am always by your side
Come now, my friend
Death's sweet embrace
Was once a gift I'd yearned for
But now that I have found you
I don't need death
Not anymore
Come set me free
You'll be okay
I'll keep you safe
So, I beg
Don't go away
Friend...
The lyrics. o_-

Yea as a ghost
Friend from witch's house the game
Oh Hello There Ellen c:
It wasn't explained but that was still Viola who was killed
Ellen didnt want to give up viola's body

The Witch's house, very epic

I wrote a whole reply like, "Um what are you talking about?" and just before posting it I realized I was getting the names mixed up. Dang body swapping, I have a hard enough time keeping names straight as is! -_- It also doesn't help that the one with violet hair isn't Viola lol.
