Game summary

Potions: A Curious Tale is an adventure-crafting game where your wits are your greatest weapons and combat is not always the answer. Encounter fairy tale characters and stories from around the world as you play as Luna, a young witch who overcomes obstacles with the potions she brews. ------ Growing up is hard, and it’s even harder when you’re a witch! As Luna, you’ll solve devious puzzles and battle monsters with your arsenal of mystical potions. With a little help from your grandmother (a powerful witch in her own right) and Helios, your sharp-tongued cat familiar, you’ll explore enchanted lands inspired by your favorite fairy tales – often with an unexpected twist! As powerful as your potions are, you’ll find yourself up against monsters that can shrug off your most powerful attacks. You’ll have to think on your feet and act quickly to sidestep danger. Manage your resources carefully, or you may find yourself with an empty satchel when you need your elixirs most. Features: - Conflict resolution that goes beyond pure combat—calm, charm, tame, and scare your enemies - Strategic combat—use potions, the environment, and even other monsters to defeat your foes - Quirky storyline featuring rich characters from folklore from around the world—all with a unique spin - Crafting system that rewards experimentation - Countless environments to explore as you search for rare ingredients - Resource management that rewards a varied play style, with a vast number of potions and ingredients - Luna, your resident witch-in-training and strong female lead Beautiful illustrated art style reminiscent of your favorite storybooks and animated tales
