It's a dungeon crawler game that lets you play as a ghost from a different (top-down) perspective after you die, allowing you to explore the map and revive yourself on specific locations. This adds a whole new level of depth to classic first person role-playing experience, and in the same time results in fun gameplay. 5 complex dungeons to explore, numerous monster and characters to meet, weapons to find, objects to use and combine, adventure-like puzzles to solve. You name it. All that an excellent game must contain, Witchcraft Adventure delivers. Definitely a deserving winner of this competition and a game I can highly recommend to anyone interested in retro-style games, not only role-playing ones.

He promised to finish the game in his own time. Few screenshots from the demo:
