Approaching Dawn: The Witching Hour is a cooperative card game immersing players as blood-bound coven witches defending against invading demons, imps, fey, possessed animals, and warlocks. Starting with basic spells, players gain corruption to acquire new spells, familiars, and artifacts, strategically deploying cards each hour as Black magic—which spreads corruption to coven mates—or White magic, which heals personal corruption. This duality powers binding and banishing threats, with choices directly impacting scene (mission) completion. Missions define objectives and can be tackled in any order or sequentially to form a cohesive story arc. ---
