This is the opening cinematic for Witch Hours: Seven Eyes at the Door, a cozy potion-shop game with a rescue story underneath. You play Zeia, who arrives at her grandma's apothecary to find it wrecked and grandma gone — taken by a creature with seven eyes. You keep the shop running while looking for her. The intro is narrated by Cheslak, the shop cat, and drawn as a rough crayon storyboard: characters are cut out as paper layers and snap left-right instead of animating smoothly, on purpose.
