The Hag in White

What it is

The Hag in White is a complete, standalone story made with the engine of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. You play Kyra, a huntress from a small village, in a world where the art of healing has been lost. Early on she meets Apate, a white-robed healer, and the whole design turns on that: there are no other healers, so every staff use matters.

What's new

• A campaign of more than 25 maps, plus a light-hearted postgame.
• An all-new cast and story, with reworked and brand-new classes to suit the scarce healing.
• A base camp visited between chapters in place of the usual support conversations: talking to allies there raises support ranks and hands out stat boosts and other rewards.
• A custom soundtrack gathered from many sources.

The author gives no walkthrough on purpose, but says recruitments and events come with in-game hints. A rare softlock at the end of a chapter is listed as a known issue; reloading the suspended game gets past it.
