Wildflower Interactive, the new studio formed by The Last of Us co-creator and game director Bruce Straley in 2022, has revealed its inaugural game: a witchy adventure called Coven of the Chicken Foot. Revealed during The Game Awards 2025, Coven of the Chicken Foot is described by the studio as “a single-player adventure about the bonding of an old witch and a peculiar creature as they attempt to fulfill a coven’s oath.”
In the reveal trailer, we get a look at the game’s unique companion-based gameplay where Gertie, the elderly witch, must work with an oddball creature to solve puzzles, overcome challenges, and platform through this vibrant world.
Wildflower says your “creature-companion can observe, learn, and develop new behaviors based on contextual situations,” but adds that the creature is a fully realized character with their own motivations, surprises, and interests.
“The dungeons have been plundered and the monsters long slain,” a press release reads. “As heroes move on, an elderly witch quietly gets to work. Gertie has long awaited her moment to prove herself to the coven. Having pledged to counter the so-called ‘heroes’ and their unbridled pride, she’ll require the assistance of an odd creature.”
Coven of the Chicken Foot will see players, as Gertie, venture into dark dungeons, lush forests, catacombs of fallen heroes, mucky bogs, and more, a press release says, but she’s not your typical hero. “She won’t be swinging swords or double-jumping her way past dangers,” it continues. “Instead, she must learn to work with and adapt to her peculiar companion to survive.”
While Gertie talks and the creature makes noises, Wildflower Interactive says these two adventurers intentionally do not share a common tongue, adding, “Players are driven to discover the creature’s true intentions themselves” and that “through environmental storytelling, [we] let the world itself reveal the narrative, inviting players to discover the story firsthand.”
