About This Game
Gretel & Hansel is a delightfully twisted exploration-adventure crafted entirely by hand in watercolor. Abandoned in a cursed forest, you play as Gretel, guiding her brother home while outwitting deadly traps, unraveling sinister puzzles, and escaping the clutches of a ravenous witch.
Detailed Description
Abandoned deep in the forest, Gretel & Hansel must use every trick they know to survive the journey home. Along the way, they’ll face devious puzzles, sinister creatures, and an all-seeing, ever-hungry witch.

Gretel & Hansel “treats” players to 50+ uniquely animated deaths—some absurd, others chilling. Dying isn’t failure here—it’s part of the fun. In fact, death may reveal secrets, unlock treasures, or open new paths.

Armed with Gretel’s trusty slingshot, pointing and clicking becomes pointing and shooting.
Break windows.
Discover items.
Pester squirrels.
Annoy your brother.
Wake up something you really shouldn’t have...
This highly interactive world rewards curiosity, mischief, and thinking outside the cauldron.

Crafted from hundreds of original watercolor paintings, every character, tree, shadow, and magic spell has been meticulously painted on paper and brought to life in a rich, 2.5D world. The result? A haunting storybook come to life—equal parts beautiful and menacing.

Initially released in 2009 and 2010, Gretel & Hansel Part 1 & Part 2 were played over 4.7 million times and ranked #1 on Newgrounds upon release.
