About
With the abrupt death of your mentor, you have become the sole proprietor of an alchemy shop in a world of magic and bizarre creatures. You will quickly learn to fill his shoes. Experiment with precise combinations of plants and minerals to learn the principles and the systems of the alchemical sciences. Use the knowledge you gain to produce the elixirs requested of you by a diverse set of creatures, monsters, and who-knows-whats. Will your arts surpass those of your mentor, allowing you to succeed where he failed?
Alchemy isn't a simple matter of combining the correct ingredients. Ratios matter, and there are multiple paths to a final result. With a deeper understanding, identify what went wrong and improvise to bring an elixir back on track.
Only the mouse is necessary to manipulate ingredients, containers, and tools. Carefully pour a tiny drizzle of liquid to reach a precise ratio, or quickly mash a root to harvest its essence.

fun puzzle game., not too hard but you get to feel little smart when you are able to read the harder recipes
This was a fun, short game with relatively easy puzzles and a small story line. i thouroughly enjoyed it. for one of the puzzles i was a little confused but figured it out by messing around. i love the aesthetic and customers. the ending was a little lackluster in terms of the ending cutscene, but it was good all around.
fun, short and simple

The game is creative and fun, a little confusing at times, but that's what makes it a puzzle game! The only real issue I had was at the end of the game, and a few minor bugs being unable to place things under the faucet (dunno why), The final potion lowkey expects you to toss aside everything you learned in the game in ALMOST every aspect. So I actually had to look up how to brew the last potion. Otherwise the game is solid and I wish it had an endless mode, where I just keep making potions for different customers. Very nice story!
i was having a lot of fun until i realized that the game actually is just figuring out what all the ren faire language the dev cribbed from his robert aspirin fanfic is actually saying to do instead of like... following recipes. which is what an actual master of alchemy would leave my prentice ass with in reality. skill issue also im dumb, sure, fine. i just wanted to make potions and screw around but instead i got a spider yelling at me that it isnt heavy enugh and needs to be in a vial forsooth and pon window pane fair or whatever. the diary is just a bunch of gandalf's blog so that doesnt help. i feel like im trying to make a cocktail for the most control freaky dnd GM who keeps telling me the celery stick is too short. pass.
such a delightful little game!!! i was honestly bummed that it was over so quickly, the mechanics were simple but engaging and i loved the story being quietly spun in the background ^^
The graphics are cool, but make it way too hard to tell where everything is. While for the most part items can't cover each other, I spent too long not realizing the game had given two salts because one somehow spawned under the scale. The note in the menu about when the game auto saves is also incorrect. I quit thinking I wouldn't lose any progress because I just got a new customer; instead, I was sent back to the start of the night.
Awesome little game. Pretty tough at times
Very fun gameplay loop, a little bit too easy to figure out all potions and the ending may be too simple. Reguardless, it is very much worth the try.
I like the guy who just wants the fizziest potion you can brew. I also enjoyed the odd creatures and the whole building shaking when anyone knocks at the door. Without the guide I would have been stuck after the first couple of customers-the instructions for potion making aren't that clear for the more challenging ones. That being said, that's part of the fun for some people I suppose.
