Painwives

As Sister Magpie, journey through a post-apocalyptic valley toward a remote shrine where you are expected to give birth. Follow maps and tracks, investigate holy places, and piece together what happened to the Sisters who made the pilgrimage before you. FIND YOUR WAY THROUGH THE VALLEY Explore the path, strange monuments, and remnants of previous pilgrimages. What others left behind may lead you forward—or make you question why you were sent here at all. EXPERIENCE A BODY THAT CHANGES Magpie's pregnancy progresses alongside the journey. As the months pass, her changing body affects how you move through and experience the world. Magpie is never truly alone. From inside her womb, the Unborn speaks to her throughout the pilgrimage—asking questions, challenging her beliefs, recalling memories, and trying to understand the world it has yet to enter. UNCOVER THE SISTERS' STORY Letters, altars, memories, and traces left behind reveal the lives of the sisters who came before you. Investigate their stories, connect what they discovered, and unravel the beliefs of a Sisterhood built around fertility, sacrifice, and pain.
