Gather exotic ingredients, brew complex mixtures, and expand your magically automated production lines -- keeping your shelves stocked, your customers happy, and your pockets full.
The core gameplay loop revolves around crafting potions for adventuring heroes. Players must gather a variety of exotic ingredients, such as glowing mushrooms, crystalline shards, and vibrant flora, from the surrounding biomes. They then use an assortment of alchemical workstations, like mixing cauldrons, distillation chambers, and bottling machines, to brew and perfect these potions.
Exploration is core, with diverse biomes to uncover. From placid meadows to treacherous bogs, each location features unique resources to gather. The animations and audio make chopping trees, mining ores, and picking herbs feel tangible and rewarding, although aggressive creatures can attack while gathering.
Players select from several "origin" classes, each with unique passive and active abilities. A necromancer's floating skull assistant or a barbarian's whirlwind attack introduce strategic depth to exploration and defense. As players progress, they can enhance these abilities, fostering a sense of empowerment.
Fulfilling adventurer's potion orders, and leveling them up through sales, provides an engaging meta-game. The variety of potion types encourages diversifying production to meet evolving customer demands - striking this balance is a key challenge.
