I've spent years mapping forgotten ruins, dodging traps, and running away from things with far too many teeth. So, as a public service to all you would-be Inquisitors who aren’t quite as fast on your feet, I’ve put together this little guide, a bestiary of horrors, beasts, and bastards you’re likely to run into in Faelduum. Study it well, or better yet—just don’t leave town.


Wolves are bad enough, but take a regular wolf, feed it rage and black magic, and you get this oversized nightmare. If one of these starts picking off your livestock, forget the pitchforks—get a war band. Or better yet, invest in some really tall fences and move far, far away.


Ah, the classic! Some restless corpse who refuses to take a hint. One time, I tried to convince a skeleton it was already dead. Thought maybe it would lay down and save me the trouble. Instead, it shot a crossbow bolt at my face. So… don't try reasoning with them. They’ve got unfinished business, and unfortunately, you are now that business.


Some lunatic with a grudge against the living decided to stick a spear in this animated pile of bones and send it out to ruin your day. It moves faster than you'd think for something with no muscles, and trust me, it does not appreciate jokes about being dead. If you see one, do yourself a favor, and shatter its knee before it gets the chance to shatter yours.


A sentient blob of goo that only exists to eat and multiply. Reminds me of a certain merchant I met in Zalthold… but at least slimes don’t try to overcharge you for stale bread. Keep your distance unless you enjoy finding out which parts of your body dissolve first.


Just like the Slimelet, but bigger, slimier, and even more annoying. It doesn’t need to eat you, it just wants to. Ever had a visitor who just wouldn’t take a hint and leave? That’s a Green Slime, except instead of being an ex who won’t stop sending letters, it’s a flesh-melting ooze that can ruin your entire day.


There’s nothing worse than someone who thinks they’re the smartest person in the room—except maybe one who can fry you where you stand. Rogue mages don’t fight fair, and they definitely don’t talk things out. The moment you see the air start to spark around them, don’t wait to find out if they’re just showing off, hit first, or prepare to glow like a festival lantern.


Now, this one I almost like. It’s got heart! A sword, a shield, and a serious height complex. If it wasn’t actively trying to stab me, I’d invite it round for a drink. But alas, it is, and so, sadly, I must cut it down. Shame, really.


The kind of scum that prefers to shoot you in the back rather than fight you face-to-face. Usually found lurking in the woods, waiting to fill some unlucky traveler with arrows before they even know what’s happening. Cowards, the lot of them. Dangerous cowards, but cowards nonetheless.


These bastards have weapons and—sometimes—even know how to use them. They usually rely on numbers rather than skill, which makes them extra dangerous if you let yourself get surrounded. They're desperate, they're violent, and they only need one lucky swing to turn you into a corpse. Don’t give them that chance.

There! Now you know just enough to not die immediately. But let’s be honest, you’re probably going to get yourself killed anyway. So if you do, at least make sure to leave a decent map behind. I’ll take good care of it.

Hi Inquisitors,

First off, we want to sincerely thank everyone who has played Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree since launch. We deeply appreciate your patience, support, and feedback over the past few days. Your input is incredibly valuable, and we’re fully committed to improving the game.

Since release, we’ve rolled out several hotfixes as part of the 1.2.x series of patches, primarily focused on improving stability and addressing the most urgent bugs.
Our top priority was fixing game-breaking issues as quickly as possible. That being said, we're committed to keeping you better informed moving forward.

Improving your experience playing the game is our main goal, and we’re planning future content patches accordingly. We’re also constantly reviewing your feedback, and while we may not be able to respond to every comment, please know we’re keeping an eye on everything and investigating accordingly.

Looking ahead, Patch 1.3 is scheduled to launch next week. This will be the first major update, featuring key gameplay balance adjustments, additional stability improvements, and a range of gameplay fixes. We’ll share full patch notes alongside its release.

In the meantime, here are the notes for today’s patch:

• Various crash fixes
  
• Fixed multiple cases where the Phoenix would revive the player character outside of the map
  
• Fixed an issue where some onscreen visual effects (e.g. smoke) would persist and block the player's view

Thank you again for your continued support. We’re working hard to make the game the best it can be, and we’ll do our best to keep you updated every step of the way.

Dear Inquisitors,

We want to stress that you, Players, are our first priority. Your trust and the game are at the center of our attention.

Similar to the removal of additional DRM solutions from the game prior to release, which we decided to do after receiving the community feedback and understanding the concerns regarding an unrestricted gaming experience. Allow us now to address your concerns regarding telemetry and data collection in the game.


Data collection and telemetry in-game are industry practices that publishers and developers adopt to improve their games (e.g. improve balance, game progression, content, crashes, etc.) - and this was the case too for Mandragora.

However, we understand that sharing our general-purpose set of legal agreements, including the Privacy Policy, that covers and regulates many different services - including, for example, websites and marketplaces, and many types of games, including multiplayer ones - created only misunderstanding and concerns, instead of fulfilling their key role of giving you maximum transparency.


We want you to enjoy the game with peace of mind. For this reason, we have decided to remove all telemetry and data collection from Mandragora, effective immediately. This will give you a fully offline experience without any information transferred or collected, so you can enjoy the game as you want.

We want to inform you upfront that this change required us to update the EULA removing any unneeded reference to data that is not collected anymore and the references to the now removed Privacy Policy. This requires a patch and you might be asked to accept the new and simplified EULA.


For those among you who have previously accepted the Privacy Policy, we want to reassure you:

• We never sold your data nor shared with anyone outside our internal telemetry systems. We are fully compliant with all data protection laws.
  
• With patch 1.2.7 for Steam, no data will be collected at all, even if you had previously accepted the privacy policy.

If you remain concerned, you can immediately request erasure of data we might have collected, in line with data protection laws. To do this, please reach out to our data protection officer [email protected] and mention “Mandragora Privacy Policy” to help us expedite your request.
This will no longer be necessary after patch 1.2.7, as we will no longer be collecting data.

We are also aware that some players have mistakenly seen a connection to our telemetry systems and would like to take this occasion and confirm that “false positive” Anti-Virus issues (like Windows Defender) are completely unrelated. We have submitted these issues already to the respective third parties companies and hope to get this sorted soon.


We are here to relieve any concerns you might have

We remain at your disposal should you have any additional questions please feel free to reach us at [email protected].



We hope this has solved some of your concerns and you keep enjoying Mandragora.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Team Knights Peak

The countdown is nearly over. In just one week, Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree launches—and your descent into a world unraveling under the weight of Entropy begins.

Slay your way in Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree, an epic action RPG in a dark fantasy world. Play on April 17!

Well, well, what do we have here? A new Inquisitor, eh? If you want to learn more about what Faelduum has to offer—you’ve come to the right place. The name’s Gerald Borough, and I’m the map-keeper and explorer extraordinaire around here, so anything you need to know, come to me.

Each corner of Faelduum is more mysterious and mystical than the last, from sprawling cities filled with finery to dark forests oozing evil, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a land better suited for the task ahead. As Entropy blackens the world, and monsters roam the once-safe streets, it’s best to know your way around…

Without further ado, let’s explore a few noteworthy places in Faelduum.


Ah, the Crimson City. The bastion of humanity, some say, under the everlasting control of the King Priest. This is also where you and your fellow Inquisitors call home. 

North of the city is shadowed by the Gloomroot Woods, and on the east is Feralwood, while the south is composed of plains and fields as far as the eye can see. Just beyond is Wickham, a city you’ll probably frequent quite often.


If you’re going to travel around Faelduum, you’ll need to know about Wickham. 

This city is safe behind its sturdy walls, housing history in every brick. Wickham grew around an old monastery long ago, and still feels like a place of refuge to many travelers. Half of Wickham boasts fancy streets and a noble enclave… or at least it did until it was taken over by monsters a few years ago.

Fancy a pint after a hard day's hacking-and-slashing, spell-casting, or general adventuring? Head down to the Wickham Inn, home to many… interesting people. There’s also Old Wickham, a run-down section of the city from years gone by, which some residents can’t bear to leave. 

Finally, we have the Wickham Sewers—a favourite spot for bandits and other unsavoury characters. As one of the most developed sewer systems in Faelduum, we have to give it its dues—it’s certainly worth a visit. 


A natural frontier between Crimson City and Wickham, Feralwood was recently home to bands of bothersome bandits, but ever since those wolf howls began, the bandits buggered off! 

Feralwood is your run-of-the-mill dark, dank, and dangerous forest, so watch your step, and your back.


In the heart of Feralwood lies a calm and eerie place—the Witch Tree. This area is safe in an unnatural way, and seems to inexplicably draw certain souls to it, as if they’re being whispered to…

There you have it, Inquisitor—a little insight into the places you’ll go. You can never be too prepared or careful in Faelduum!

Hi everyone,

We have some really big news to share with you today about our game:

While we previously aimed for a 2024 release, we found we need more time to ensure Mandragora exceeds expectations. We really wanted to bring Mandragora to you by the end of the year, but quality is important to us, and the last thing we ever want to do is deliver you a subpar experience.
Many of you played the public Steam Demo, and you sent us plenty of invaluable feedback about many areas we still want to improve upon before the full release. This extra time will allow us to integrate those insights into a better, smoother gaming experience.

We’re incredibly grateful for your support and patience, and we’re confident this updated timeline will help make the final release well worth the wait!

Mandragora is now available for preorder right here on Steam!

https://steamproxy.com/steamstore/app/1721060/Mandragora/

If you or your friends are looking to get your hands on some Mandragora action, then this is the perfect opportunity to get your hands on the game as well as some cool extras.

Everyone who preorders the game will receive exclusive digital rewards as well as access to two preview builds of the game ahead of release.

With your preorder, you will gain immediate access to the Preview 1 build, and will keep that access until Preview 2 becomes available in its place. This first Preview offers about 4 times more content compared to the demo - including more enemies, levels, loot, and another class to try out!

And while Preview 1 is already a solid experience, we’re already hard at work addressing earlier feedback and implementing improvements, many of which will be featured in Preview 2. Preview 2 is planned for release in early 2025, and will provide a much deeper look into the game, offering a more substantial slice of what’s to come - so with your preorder, you'll have that to look forward to as well!

*Limited time exclusivity. Available for everyone at a later date.

At the moment, we can only confirm this preorder for Steam and Epic Games Store. For those of you excited for Mandragora to arrive on consoles, we know you might feel a little disappointed by the lack of preorder availability. Please rest assured we’ll share more news for you too as soon as we’re able!

If you have any further questions, please let us know here in the comments or over on our Discord[discord.gg]! We can’t guarantee we’ll be able to provide you with a detailed answer at this time, but we’ll do our best to be as helpful as we can in answering any questions you may have.
