You're just getting started as a newbie employee at the well known Witch's Apothecary. Although you have no experience in potion making, you shoot your shot for a well paying senior position and... get accepted??? Can you keep up this establishments reputation, or will you tarnish it?
Take requests from customers and brew potions in this cozy game with a mix of visual novel and point-and-click!
This game was a submission for the Inbound Shovel Jam 2025 game jam.
The game has been released on Itch.io to be downloaded & played.
We're two game devs who have been making games for a while, but never entered a game jam on our own let alone together! We in total spent about 4 days on it and made the entire thing in... Unreal Engine 5 UMG (which somehow worked out lol). We're both programmers, so a big part of assets have been flipped or just taken off the interwebs (all credits down below!)
This game was made with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and resolution of 1080p in mind. No testing has been done for other resolutions & aspect ratio's. So the game might look off in those instances.
The game is also always launched in fullscreen, and has no settings to adjust.
