About this game
Take over your mother’s potion shop for a single, unpredictable week.
In this cozy but strategic shop management roguelike, every decision matters. Brew potions, serve strange customers, and try to keep your business alive long enough to make it to the end of the week.
🧙♀️ Run the Shop
Customers arrive with requests, offers, and problems: some straightforward, others… less so.
Choose how to respond:
Sell potions
Buy rare ingredients
Refuse service (at your own risk)
Your choices shape your gold and reputation. Lose either, and it’s game over.
⚗️ Experiment in the Lab
Use three tools to craft potions:
Mortar
Cauldron
Alembic
Recipes aren’t handed to you—you’ll discover them through experimentation. Every successful discovery is permanently recorded for future runs.
📖 Build Your Knowledge
As you play, your collection of known formulas grows. Mastering the system means recognizing patterns, optimizing ingredients, and preparing for what customers might ask next.
🐈 A Cat With Opinions
You’re not alone. Your sharp-tongued black cat companion watches everything; and isn’t shy about commenting on your choices.
🔁 Replayable Roguelike Structure
Each run is a fresh attempt to survive the week:
New events and customer combinations
Different resource pressures
Increasing mastery over your recipes
⚖️ The Core Challenge
Balance:
Risk vs reward
Experimentation vs reliability
Profit vs reputation
Can you keep the shop alive… for all seven days?
