Episode Details

A new Indigenous and queer-led gaming studio from Saskatchewan, Mistik Studios, is launching their debut game Kitch Witch — a magical culinary adventure where players run a witch’s clinic using enchanted food to heal adventurers. Inspired by Stardew Valley and shaped by co-founder Kay-Lynne Fehr’s real-life garden, the game blends cozy simulation with deep cultural roots. Beyond entertainment, Mistik Studios is turning game development into a food security mission, growing produce and distributing food boxes. They’re crafting a vibrant, relatable world where Indigenous culture isn’t just educational — it’s stylish, fun, and empowering for young players. With only four team members, they’re partnering with local arts groups to bring this vision to life, aiming for early access in fall 2027. This isn’t just a game — it’s a celebration of identity, language, and community, inviting everyone to see themselves reflected in the pixels.
