Geralt is bound by fate to protect a young girl, Ciri, who possesses incredible powers. You could watch the whole game in video form on youtube.For those unfamiliar, The Witcher follows the exploit of Geralt of Rivia, a mutant monster hunter who roams a fictional European-style fantasy world as an outcast, trying to get by. The core gameplay is just you in a hallway with obstacles, and that hallway is dressed up to look like tunnels, alleyways, sections of buildings, streets with everything but the one way you need to go blocked off.
