Sabbat of the Witch^{[Note 1]} is a singleplayer adult visual novel game developed and published by Yuzusoft.

The original Japanese version was released in Japan on February 27, 2015. Two localized versions of the game were released: the English version by NekoNyan on October 26, 2018, and the Chinese version by HIKARI FIELD on July 21, 2023.

The versions of the English versions and Chinese versions available on Steam and, for the former, GOG.com, have adult contents removed, requiring the official 18+ patch/DLC to restore those.
