A stealth game for the NES about a Puritan witch leading a double life. By day she passes as a pious villager. By night her skin turns green and she slips through town to gather what she needs to brew her potion — all while keeping her two selves apart.

Dusk turns her green, dawn turns her back. The only way to lose is letting the town’s Suspicion boil over. Made for NES Jam 2026. Sound on.

A note

This is heavily inspired by Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest — its day/night cycle, its hushed gothic mood, its big sprites and roaming townsfolk. I played it for the first time during this jam and fell for it hard; it’s now one of my favorite games. ANDOVER is my love letter back.
