About this game
The gameplay shown is from an early stage of development.
Umbra's Cauldron is a 2D card-stacking game in which you take on the role of an alchemist.
Had I mixed a bloodroot or a drop of honey into my tincture? Oh well, it'll all go wrong... Or at least that's what you thought. Now you find yourself as a book in a magical world, trying to regain your original form with the help of powerful potions and lots of unexplored recipes. But don't worry, you're not alone. Crawly critters will be by your side on your journey.

Baltic Games Fest 2025
Hey everyone! We just got back from Baltic Games Fest, and what an experience it was! This was our very first convention, and we had the amazing opportunity to show our game to the public for the very first time. Being able to share what we’ve been working on with real players, get hands-on feedback, and watch people actually play was incredible. From seeing eyes light up when someone finally managed to figure out a tricky combination, to hearing suggestions and ideas we hadn’t thought of, it was an amazing experience. We had a lot of visitors at our booth, and the support from fellow devs and attendees was great. Thanks to everyone who helped and attended. We walked away with not just feedback, but a ton of motivation and energy to keep building and polishing. Here's a couple of shots from the weekend 👇 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45163539/c3a60a90bb3a45f5a5233897f9857c769a240f39.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45163539/729d4986f7f1a578681cb1032abfc34362e9b0ee.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45163539/c8e9c4a86490893b1504d1b05079819a98dc2c66.jpg What’s next? We’re back at it, fine-tuning, fixing, and pushing forward. We’ll be sharing more dev updates soon, and maybe even a few sneak peeks. 👀 Huge thanks to everyone who came by, played, chatted, and cheered us on. You made our first event something special. We hope you are enjoying the Stickers! Stay tuned! - Jan from the EdelErde teamRead full article on Community Announcements (Zittrich)
