In anticipation of the game’s launch next week, Nintendo and Platinum Games have released a free playable demo for Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon. As a bonus, save data will transfer over to the full version of the game when users purchase the full title after it launches on March 17th.

Before she became known as Bayonetta, a trainee of the dark arts threw caution to the wind and ventured into the Avalon Forest. Any good story has a lesson about teamwork, so in this tale, Cereza and Cheshire coordinate their efforts to fight faeries, adventure and solve puzzles. You’ll use the left side of the controller to move Cereza and bind enemies with her magic. And with the right side of the controller, you can move Cheshire to slash and chomp foes.

Unlike the previous titles in the series, this game presents itself with enchanting, storybook-inspired visuals, making each area look like it has been painted carefully by hand. However, don’t be fooled, be careful your curiosity doesn’t lead to an untimely demise. Cereza may be young, but with your wisdom and Cheshire’s steadfast aid, you may yet persevere in this perilous fable.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon has a free playable demo available now on the Nintendo Switch and the full game is set to launch on March 17th. Are you looking forward to diving into the early boots of the witchiest witch on Nintendo Switch?
