Horror Tale 3: The Witch is the third installment in the Horror Tale series by Euphoria Games, the studio behind Death Park and Mimicry.

Released in April 2025, it is a first-person survival horror game built with Unity WebGL, meaning it runs directly in desktop and mobile browsers. The setting is 1990s small-town America, and the atmosphere leans into psychological tension rather than jump scares alone.

The core loop blends exploration, item collection, puzzle-solving, and stealth.

You navigate Lakewitch's five locations — including abandoned houses, forests, a circus, a farm, and a sewer — gathering items and crafting tools like sticky traps and sleeping spray to deal with threats.

Wanda the Witch patrols actively, and making too much noise draws her attention. Unlike pure escape games, Horror Tale 3 builds a narrative around characters named Tommy, Sam, and their allies, which unfolds through cutscenes and environmental storytelling.

If you enjoy first-person horror experiences or survival games that test your nerves, this free online game delivers a full campaign in your browser. On desktop, you move with WASD and interact with objects using F.

The game assigns dedicated keys to your craftable tools: Q deploys a sticky trap, E uses sleeping spray, and R throws a petard (firecracker box). Press C to sit down, which reduces the noise you make — a critical survival action when Wanda is nearby.

G throws a held item, X drops it, and H opens the hint menu if you get stuck on a puzzle. P pauses the game and can skip cutscenes. Tab opens your inventory. On mobile, the game uses virtual on-screen buttons for movement and actions.

Touch controls map to the same functions, though the layout adapts to the smaller screen. You are investigating the disappearance of children in Lakewitch.

The game progresses through a story-driven campaign across five locations, each containing puzzles you must solve and items you must find to advance. Along the way, you encounter Wanda the Witch, who acts as a persistent threat — she patrols areas and reacts to sound.
