There's a handful of fan-made content for The Witcher games, and it's just been joined by The Witcher: Masquerade — a fantastic new mystery adventure where Geralt must make the most of his detective skills.
Check out this trailer for The Witcher: Masquerade to get a feel for its vibe:
If you're somehow unfamiliar with The Witcher, it tells the tale of Geralt of Rivia. Geralt is a "Witcher", a magically-mutated warrior cursed with sterility but blessed with unnaturally long life and heightened combat abilities. His powers are often the only thing preventing the innocent people of the land from being overrun by terrible fantasy monsters that would love to have them for lunch.
Now, a brand-new fan adventure has been released for the very first Witcher game. It's pretty different from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, so anyone who hasn't played the original might be in for a bit of a shock with the different combat system.
As the Steam Community announcement notes, this mod has Polish voice acting and English subtitles. Players can enjoy 14 non-linear quests that will ultimately provide around 7–8 hours of gameplay. The patch which added English subtitles also brought with it some overall improvements to the mod.
How to Get The Witcher: Masquerade
This new fan-made Witcher adventure looks pretty neat — how can you go about getting it? The process is pretty simple. You can download Masquerade at ModDB or at NexusMods.
Don't forget that you'll need the base game to play it! You can grab The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut on sale on the Humble Store right now for just $1.49 or your regional equivalent. You can also get it at its full price of $9.99 on Steam and DRM-free on GOG.
