❤ Narrative Roguelike Design

As a witch living on the outskirts of a medieval town, players navigate a branching narrative with a variety of requests and problems from the townspeople. Each playthrough unfolds differently, with unique events, characters, and potion recipes unlocking over time, creating a compelling roguelike experience.

❤ Experimental Potion Crafting

Players begin the game knowing only a few basic potion recipes, but by mixing various ingredients in the cauldron, they can discover a wide array of new concoctions. The game provides some guidance, but also encourages players to experiment freely, often leading to unexpected and entertaining effects on the townspeople.

Helping the townspeople and using benevolent potions can increase the player's fame, while more malevolent actions can instill fear and potentially summon the inquisitors. Maintaining this delicate balance is crucial, as tipping the scales too far in either direction can have significant consequences.
