Since the font is based on calligraphy of the era and not designs to be easy to read here are some gameplay tips:

- Click on pieces of paper and drag them to the bottom of the screen. This should enlarge them. When you are done reading drag them back to the table.
- to order a witch trial drag one of the coloured cards with an illustration on it to the pigeon. A scroll should appear on its leg. Then click on the pigeon again and it will fly away to order the test. Wait for the pigeon to come back with the results and drag it to the bottom of the screen to see if the accused passed or failed.
-The hysteria meter on the right will go up or down. Once you already for the trial find a small piece of white paper with a dotted line on it it says order and attach that to the pigeon.


For the bext experience, please download the game on windows.

But she isn't a witch!

"I am not a witch as they say. Please help me!" Defend Bridget Bishop, a shopkeeper in Salem, who has been accused of witchcraft. 

Your trusty pidgeon will deliver orders to the court to test Bridget with different witch trials: Water ducking, blood pricking, prayer recital, curing a bewitched victim with touch, searching her body for witches marks, and feeding a cake made of her urine to a dog. 

Hysteria knows not logic. How to play this game (extravagantly-titled demo) Try to figure out which trials Bridget might pass based on her health and history. 

Use the coloured cards at the bottom of the screen, which represent these trials, and attach one to your pidgeon. the pidgeon will return with the results and the public Hysteria (on the right) will increase or decrease. 

Once you have done all you can do to decrease Hysteria, send the court Order via pidgeon to start the trial.
