The Last Wish Project is an ambitious mod that seeks to recreate the original The Last Wish short story collection within The Witcher 3 engine.
The Last Wish is a collection of short stories that serves as the first book in The Witcher series, introducing Geralt of Rivia and his world. The stories follow Geralt’s adventures as a monster slayer for hire, blending dark fantasy, moral dilemmas, and Slavic mythology while exploring his relationship with Yennefer.
Unlike traditional RPG modifications, the project is designed as a non-commercial action-adventure experience that stays true to the literary origins of Geralt’s world. You can play-test the alpha version of the project by downloading the files on their official website.
A Vision Rooted in Passion
The goal of The Last Wish Project is to develop each short story from The Last Wish book as a fully playable experience, one at a time. The project’s creators are looking to start with The Lesser Evil short story first before tackling the rest. The project is also heavily inspired by the first Witcher game, which the developer feels best captured the dark atmosphere of the books.
Driven by over a decade of contemplation and artistic passion, this labor of love aims to provide fans with an immersive and authentic retelling of Sapkowski’s stories, blending storytelling with action-oriented gameplay.
How Fans Can Help
As a non-commercial project, The Last Wish Project relies on community support. While the developer has already invested significant unpaid time into bringing it to life, additional financial backing would accelerate development, allowing for full-time focus. Fans can support the project through Patreon, gaining priority in testing and a place in the credits.
Additionally, volunteers are welcome to contribute their talents—particularly in voice acting, as the project currently relies on AI-generated voiceovers for dialogue. The ultimate goal is to secure the funds necessary to pay professional voice actors, enhancing the immersion and quality of the adaptation.
Play the Alpha
Players eager to experience the project firsthand can download and play the alpha version of The Lesser Evil through the official website. This early access allows fans to provide valuable feedback and help shape the final version. The developer also encourages joining the project’s Discord community to engage with fellow enthusiasts and stay updated on progress.
A Tribute to The Witcher’s Literary Roots
At its core, The Last Wish Project is a heartfelt tribute to The Witcher universe, crafted by a fan who has long admired its depth and artistic significance. By staying true to the books and fostering community involvement, this project stands as a unique and meaningful addition to the world of The Witcher 3 mods.
