  "account": "Chucklefish's Witchbrook, a cozy witch-life sim, has been delayed for the second time, with a new release date of January 28, 2027. The game, which was first teased in 2017, has undergone significant changes over the years. In 2020, Chucklefish revamped the game's visual style, and five years later, they finally announced a release window. However, that window has slipped twice, first to 2026 and now to 2027.\n\nDespite the delays, the developer, Chucklefish and Robotality, assure that they have poured detail and care into every pixel to create a truly handcrafted experience. They are excited to open Witchbrook College's grand doors to new students in January and introduce players to the town and people of Mossport.\n\nThe developer expresses gratitude for the community's patience and support throughout the long development process. They hope players will enjoy immersing themselves in the magical pixel art world as much as they've enjoyed creating it.\n\nWitchbrook will be available on Steam for $25, and the developer is also working on physical editions, which will be revealed and released after the initial launch. The announcement comes after years of development, marking the first time Witchbrook has had a proper release date.",
