Logo, Icons, and Fonts! (Unloved only changes to Fixed in the Good or Neutral endings)

(also Summary summarizes the plot for post-game players who were confused or distracted, and Why explains how i got the game idea in the first place)

Charlie and Zuzu's designs, plus a bonus Icon that i can't figure out a use for, but it looks cool!

Using the McGuire version of Oz and parts of the books as inspo, I designed the witches and their respective countries and mixed them with modern ideas of fae

The Northern Witch: She was the first, and I didn’t have a clear idea until the antlers and veil. She is the most intelligent and watches over the forests and mountain regions in the purple country. The architecture may change, but I wanted a traditional fantasy forest vibe. That influenced her staff and attire, also being traditionally fantasy. Her familiar is kind of an opossum rat who hangs on her staff.

The Eastern Witch: The sweetest witch, her design is most inspired by blue hydrangeas and illustrations where flowers form their anatomy. She lives in a cottage with her familiar, an enormous cat bee hybrid, who acts as a mode of transport, as she is not always able to walk. Otherwise she uses her cane, which is also her magic infused item.

The Southern Witch: When coming up with the environment, McGuire spoke about it having swamps and marshes. But in the original novel, the witch was Glinda. So I tried to combine swamp aesthetics but keep Glinda’s glamour. I achieved this with spiderwebs coated in water droplets, which are on her bracers and cutouts. I also found modern fae inspo the most helpful with this. She is known as the most beautiful witch, and her gothic castle is admired by many. I forgot to design her a familiar, but I imagine they’d be moth-like, and often follow the light of her lantern.
