About this game
You didn’t choose this life. You didn’t major in alchemy. You’re not even sure how to harvest toad eyes without... well, let’s not talk about that.
And yet you now find yourself the sole heir of Madam Marigold’s Potion Emporium & Goat Rental, a dangerously aromatic establishment nestled in the fog-drenched town of Fogbottom-on-Flask, where goblins haggle, owls lecture, and no one agrees on the correct way to steep herbal tea. Your late Aunty Marigold, in what can only be described as a bold display of confidence and questionable timing, relied a little bit too much on her own resurrection potion. It did not go well. Now, she is resting* (with mild protest) behind the shop, leaving you the keys, two starter recipes, and a valuable hint: “Organic sells better.”
Orders are already piling up. An injured hamster requires a healing potion. Farmers need stamina brews to survive turnip season. An orc war chief demands enhanced agility for reasons that fall somewhere between “could be interesting” and “potential for war crimes”. And you – utterly unqualified – must learn fast, forage faster, and pray the llamas haven’t eaten the key ingredients again. But faced with bubbling cauldrons and morally ambiguous business decisions, a bigger truth emerges: your potions have the power to change lives, fates… perhaps even the Queendom itself.
And maybe, just maybe, if you become a true master alchemist, you can get Aunty Marigold back on her feet. Preferably alive, not undead.
*) We refrain from using the word "decomposing" here. She is your Aunty, after all!
Brew Potions that Shape the World - Every potion you craft and sell affects something. A person, a faction, a rumour, or the balance of power in Fogbottom. Small choices lead to big consequences as your reputation quietly reshapes the world around you.
Run Your Potion Shop Your Way - Gather ingredients, fulfill orders, upgrade your workspace, and customise your shop with decor, tools, and magical oddities. Grow your shop into the beating heart of Fogbottom (but watch out for customers who might also be ingredients).
A Narrative Full of Laughs, Lore, and Dark Magic - Written by best-selling author Ivan Ertlov, cosy storytelling is blended with sharp wit, mystery, and a touch of morbidity. Discover what really happened to your aunt, who’s pulling the strings in town, and why the llamas are definitely up to no good.
Explore a Weird and Wonderful World - Fogbottom is home to colourful characters, magical creatures, and secrets buried beneath centuries of alchemical experiments.
Play Solo or With a Friend - Enjoy the full game alone or with a friend in online co-op. Share ingredients, solve problems together, or cause magical disasters twice as fast.
Come for the cosy crafting, stay for the colourful cast of customers. Welcome to the most delightfully odd potion shop in the realm - we saved you a ladle!

We are back … in stylized cosy Fogbottom!
This is the update you have been waiting for - well, at least most of you, it seems!If you are asking what we have been up to in the last months ....…, the answer is we heard you. We listened to the feedback. And it was pretty unanimous - most of you liked the stylized art style of our first demos shown at Pixel and PAX more than the “inspired by Sims 2” approach we had pivoted to.Who are we to judge!So we went back to - not exactly the drawing board, but to the Greater Fringeshire, and created a Fogbottom and dozens of inhabitants to your liking.Yes, including Aunty Marigold.And yes, she is still dead - for now.Aside from the all new visuals, we also have a new UI, new quests and characters, our events and factions system up and running, a whole new look and feel for the brewing itself and …… a very suspicious Llama.All that mixed with even more morbid humour in a fantasy realm where every single one of your potions counts for something! Oh, and did we mention that our coop multiplayer is also fully functional?No?We should, because it is!Enjoy a very quick preview of the gameplay on our updated Steam page or here:So, with all the good news, you probably ask what the bad ones are …… honestly, there is only one, and it is not bad per se. But to make the best “cosy alchemy shop sim meets RPG in a hilariously morbid fantasy world” game we can imagine, we are no longer dead set on releasing this year.We will take our time and make Fogbottom a town you will never want to leave …… except when the neighbouring kingdom is attacking. But that is another story …Until then, follow us here and on our socials, wishlist us if you haven't already, and remember: Never trust a Llama!Read full article on Community Announcements (IvanErtlov)AnnouncementsOfficial
