Mahou Tsukai no Yoru

"It was said -- There was a mansion that rested on top of a hill, and within it there lived two witches."



It is the late 1980s. Rumors of a witch living inside an old mansion circulate in the city. Unbeknownst to observers, living inside the mansion is an actual witch, Alice Kuonji, a stoic woman and a magus hiding in the present day. Under her tutelage studies Aoko Aozaki, a high school student studying magecraft as the head of the Aozaki family. As magi, the two of them secretly fight any threat that enters their town.

Things start to change when a young man unfamiliar with city life, Shizuki Soujuurou, enters their lives. Slowly, he affects the lives of these two magi. And so their story begins...

Mahou Tsukai no Yoru - Witch on the Holy Night is a Visual Novel set in the Nasuverse. Originally a five hundred-page novel penned by Kinoko Nasu, it was never publicly released and only a handful of copies were distributed. It was announced for a visual novel remake on 2008, but it got stuck in Development Hell several times before finally being released on April 12, 2012. A translation of the demo text can be read here.

Unlike the other Type-Moon visual novels, Mahoyo is a linear novel with no branching plot lines. It is also Type-Moon's first all-ages visual novel.
