## Description
Trapped in a crumbling mansion, it’s up to you to outsmart and outlive an ancient witch hunting you down. Scavenge items to set traps, solve puzzles and discover secret paths to avoid your demise. Don’t be scared: encounters with ghosts are rewarded in this horror visual novel. 

-Merging real world history with European folklore, Dread Weight is a deceptively cute horror title.

-A sequel to Cooking Companions that you can go into completely new: returning players get additional Chompettes, sidequests and story from the MC's perspective!

-Players can use the new inventory system to unlock new areas and solve puzzles throughout the mansion. Be careful! Vengeful spirits do not rest quietly: be quick on your feet and you’ll prevent being attacked by them.

-Death is not the end: there are no “Game Over” screens in Dread Weight, allowing you to keep going through the story uninterrupted.

-NO gratuitous violence or gore

-No swearing!
