How to Play

Start your day as the owner of a bustling potion shop. Your main goal is to craft, combine, and sell potions to an array of quirky customers, each with their own odd requests and time limits. Using your keyboard and mouse, interact with the numerous shop stations: select ingredients from the shelves, combine them in the cauldron, and pour finished potions to fill customer orders. Quick reactions and sharp memory are key—customers have limited patience, and some may throw curveballs with custom requests or special conditions.

Navigate shop menus with arrow keys and pointer clicks. Each round grows more challenging, with more ingredients and complex combinations appearing. Watch your character’s emotional state as interactions (especially with your ex) can affect gameplay, making certain tasks trickier—or funnier! Keep an eye on time: multitasking and prioritizing orders will earn you higher scores and unlock bonus story scenes.

Beginner tips: start by mastering basic potions and ingredient locations. Gradually work toward creating complex mixes as you memorize recipes. Use downtime to chat with customers or explore story choices—your dialogue impacts future romance and shop events. Don’t stress over mistakes; laughter and chaos are part of the adventure! Speed, precision, and a sense of humor are your best tools as you navigate this magical, messy business.
