You can take a look at the ‘Fruit Witcher’ video under, which was noticed by Kotaku. The description reads, “a lone Witcher investigates a monster-infested riverbank… little does he know, how insidious an enemy he’s going to encounter.” Which in fact results in some deeply dramatic slicing of fruit. Lots of fruit.
