'''''Trouble Witches Episode 1 ~Daughters of Amalgam~''''' (2007) is the first game of the series and was released for Windows PC as doujin game. The story is set in the [[Magical Land|magical country]] of Eihemland where a great witch named Amalgam has stolen [[MacGuffin|a ring]] [[Sealed Evil in a Can|sealing away a powerful devil]] known as the Draupnhir, and divided the pieces of said ring to her children where they wreak havoc as they see fit. The king of Eihemland spread flyers all across the country with a award to anyone who can stop Amalgam and her children with any wish they desire. And of course, [[It's Up to You]] stop Amalgam's and her kids, and reclaim the ring of the Draupnhir.
 
The original PC game featured three [[Magical Girl|magical girls]], [[Inept Mage|Pril]] [[Cute Witch|Patowle]], [[Idol Singer|Aqua]] [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|Seep]] [[Minor Insult Meltdown|Seal]], and [[Spoiled Sweet|Yuki]] [[Fiery Redhead|Longate]], with [[Cute and Psycho|Sies Fabric Tinydream]] as an unlockable forth character (Sies becomes immediately playable after the "Ver.2" update), each with their own shot type, strengths, and their own take on the storyline in a fully-voiced Story Mode. One of the unique aspects of the game is the risk-and-reward mechanics of the game, of which the Magic Barrier system where each witch can summon a barrier to slow down enemy fire and convert them into gold by destroying the enemy that originally fired the shots. However could work against the player if the enemies flees from the screen with their shots trapped in the barrier, which the bullets will zero-in on the player. The gold not only go towards earning points, but it can be used at the Pumpkin Sister's shop (which usually appears twice during each stage) to spend your gold on [[Power-Up|Magic Cards]] and other goods such as [[1-Up|1-Ups]]s and MP-boosting potions. The Magic Cards would give the user a different shot-type for brief periods of time, but destroying enemies under this effect would earn score-boosting Star Coins, although taking a hit will knock the card out of you (though saves you from losing a life), and taking a hit without any protection will result in losing a fraction of Star Coins as well.
 
'''''Trouble Witches AC''''' (2009) was an "[[Video Game Remake|enhanced" version]] of ''Trouble Witches Episode 1'' Studio SiestA was in the works of around 2008, however the updated game was scrapped once it got picked for an arcade release in Japan in 2009. The game was played on the Taito Type X arcade hardware and it did feature some of the [[What Could Have Been]] aspects that was originally planned for the PC game, like introducing Louis Leondyke, [[Catgirl|Cynfi]] [[Cloudcuckoolander|Porat]], Conon Mildiazzhe Krakow, and Raya Arcturus into ''Episode 1'''s storyline, and some changes made to the original gameplay. Of course, this also lacks much of the features the original PC game had, such as the fully-voiced Story Mode. ''Trouble Witches AC'' later made it's way into the NESiCAxLive arcade service in Japan in 2012, which also brought back [[No Export for You|Sies Fabric Tinydream]] into the game's roster of magical girls.
