✨ Welcome to Dreamland, Witch It's biggest and most extraordinary update ever! ✨
Venture into Dream Valley Castle, a masterfully crafted map brimming with beautiful architecture for you to explore and hide within! Adorn yourself in 48 fancy Dreamland skins, while you collect over 70+ wonderful fantasy-inspired props sprinkled throughout the map! For the Creative types - we've introduced over 200+ new structures to Creative Mode, so you can finally satisfy your desire to build your own kingdoms and castles! ????
Before we share what we've been working on, we want to express our immense gratitude for your patience while we've worked tirelessly on Dreamland and our upcoming console releases - thank you! Dreamland is our most ambitious project yet, so we truly hope you enjoy what we've created! ????
Dream Valley Castle!
Dream Valley Castle is the result of over a year of groundbreaking technical progress and collaborative team growth. We think this map captures the magical and wacky charm of Witch It more than anything we've ever made! Bring your friends, as this is one of our biggest maps to date. ????️
Let's take a look at what Dream Valley Castle has to offer...
The Courtyard
Welcome to the courtyard! The area is divided into four distinct segments, linked by winding corridors and castle walls. At its core, the mysterious Witch Tower looms over the map... ????♀️
The Seasons
In the courtyard, each segment brings a different season to life, complete with themed props and structures unique to that time of the year. Seamlessly travel between each area by using the portals located at the centre of each seasonal zone! ????
???? Spring
☀️ Summer
???? Autumn
❄️ Winter
The Witch Tower
Venture into the mystifying Witch Tower at the centre of the courtyard. Hide up high and out of sight of hunters - the unpredictable magic infesting the tower provides the perfect cover from even the most talented opponents! ????
The Castle
Take cover within the castle's beautiful architecture and furnishings, using balconies and rafters to outsmart the hunters! Escape quickly through the corridors, or via the huge double doors leading directly into the Autumn zone. ????️
70+ New Props!
Adapt to the surroundings in Dream Valley Castle by transforming into any one of the 70+ new props scattered across the map. Transform into various weaponry, potions, or even disguise yourself in Knight's armour! Blend in effortlessly with the seasonal zones by switching into bushes, beans, or one of the many secret props tucked away out-of-sight! ⚔️

200+ New Creative Mode Structures!
While building Dream Valley Castle, we wanted to empower our map creators with all the essential parts and pieces, so that everyone has the chance to build their own kingdom! Discover more than 200 new arches, towers, walls, bridges, windows, flora, statues, and much more! ????
While you get acquainted with the new Creative Mode structures, we're working on 2024's Official Map Contest which will arrive before the end of the year! If you can't wait that long, join the Witch It Discord and prepare for the next community-ran Speed Build contest, arriving a few weeks from now! ????
Creative Mode QoL
We've made a bunch of useful quality-of-life changes to Creative Mode:
- Change your camera speed by scrolling your mouse wheel.
- Save a selection with ALT + [NUMBER] [list]
- You can select the previously saved selection by pressing the corresponding number once.
- Centre the previously saved selection by pressing the corresponding number twice.
In addition, we've added many more material overrides to many of the Dreamland structures - for example, towers placed in a desert map will look different to towers placed in an island map. You can also manually set the material variant using Edit Mode! ⛏️
48 New Skins!
If you're running around Dream Valley Castle, please come properly dressed (we don't want to upset the King)! Dress up as the marvellous King himself, or an enchanted fairy that blends in with the seasons... or even one of the many horses (don't forget to attach a horn)! All skins can be earned through event crafting, explained below. ????
???? Kings & Knights
????♀️ Fairies & Granddaughters
???? Horses & Horns
How do I craft Dreamland items?
Opening Witch It during the Dreamland event will grant you 30 "Jewellery Boxes"!
A Jewellery Box contains a random Dreamland item, which can only be opened by combining them with "Dreamy Fluff".
To earn Dreamy Fluffs, fill up the Item Cauldron with 250 experience points. You can see the item cauldron fill up at the end of the round, on the level-up screen.
Dreamy Fluff has a 50% chance of being earned on any Official server once the item cauldron is filled, but only if you are currently playing Dream Valley Castle! If you're lucky enough to earn one, head back to the main menu and press "Dreamland" to combine it with a Jewellery Box!
Every Dreamland item earned through Jewellery Boxes are tradable and craftable even when the Dreamland event is over. If you use up all your Jewellery Boxes, you can craft more by combining 5 Dreamy Fluff in the event screen.
Note: Dreamy Fluff can only be obtained in Official servers.
You can also receive the new items through:
- As random drops from filling up the item cauldron at the end of a round.
- Trading with other players (we recommend using our Discord server to find traders).
Dreamland Event Icon
Collect the limited-time "Dreamland Event" icon by playing Witch It during the event season. At the end of the Dreamland event, this icon will never return, so make sure to pick it up before it disappears! ⌛
DLC Rarity & New Sets!
With the introduction of our new DLC rarity, we will be releasing two new DLC sets:
Introducing the Time Keeper, and Moon Sorceress! ⏰ ????
These sets will be released within the next few weeks, and purchasable as a bundle or seperately via the Witch It Steam store page! ✔️
The Time Keeper and Moon Sorceress will be permanently available, and are not tradable or smashable.
