Team Tapas to Release ‘Garden of Witches’ on Steam/STOVE Early Access May 23

A Roguelike Action RPG with Fairytale Flair and Unique Character Builds

Seoul, Korea, April 23, 2025  – Indie game developer Team Tapas have announced that their new roguelike action RPG, Garden of Witches, will launch in Early Access on May 23 via Steam. This is the first PC release from Team Tapas, who have previously accumulated over 14 million downloads with their mobile games A Girl Adrift and Bistro Heroes.

Centering on the events that unfold as the protagonist, Sil, struggles to gather her fellow witches to hold a tea party to prevent the eponymous garden's extinction. Garden of Witches features cute characters and fairytale-inspired visuals alongside fast-paced action based on real-time combat, all while allowing players to organically develop their own builds through mixing and matching a variety of spells, weapons, and Relics.

In the Early Access version of the game, players can experience all five chapters of the main story. Each chapter boasts its own unique combat system and theme, with complexity and depth increasing gradually as players progress.

Chapter 2 maximizes the effectiveness of Attributes through the introduction of the Synergy System, while Chapter 3 introduces Relics—powerful, unique effects that can either cover weaknesses or serve as core elements of your endgame strategy.

In Chapter 4, the Weapon Select System significantly expands the number of potential builds and combat styles.

The difficulty system has also been redesigned from top to bottom, allowing both casual and skilled players to fully enjoy the game.

A notable change is the rebalancing of the Counter skill, which was a key point of discussion in the community. It has now been rebalanced to fill a niche as a high-risk-high-reward skill that requires adept usage in very specific situations to unlock its full potential.

Throughout the Early Access period, Team Tapas will actively listen to player feedback and make continuous improvements. The full release will introduce a range of updates, including expanded narrative and gameplay content, featuring challenging endgame scenarios, high-difficulty content, side story chapters, and an array of new spells and weapons.

With Garden of Witches, Team Tapas takes their first step out of mobile gaming and into the Steam-centric PC market, with plans to expand to further platforms in the future.
