You're just getting started as a newbie employee at the well known Witch's Apothecary. Although you have no experience in potion making, you shoot your shot for a well paying senior position and... get accepted??? Can you keep up this establishments reputation, or will you tarnish it?

Take requests from customers and brew potions in this cozy game with a mix of visual novel and point-and-click!

! Warning !

This game was made for an aspect ratio of 16:9 and size 1080p. There's no option other than full screen either.

Jam notes

This game was made for Shovel Jam 2025.

We're two game devs who have been making games for a while, but never entered a game jam on our own let alone together! We in total spent about 4 days on it and made the entire thing in... Unreal Engine 5 UMG (which somehow worked out lol). We're both programmers, so a big part of assets have been flipped or just taken off the interwebs (all credits down below!)
