What players say

Whimsical potion making game. Graphics are ok, performance got way better since launch. My biggest gripe is that it's difficult to go back to the game after being away for a while. If you don't know who is who and where you met them, it's only a matter of time (and luck ?) until you find them again. That's a bit annoying

Not really much to say here, overall pretty good game, misses a lot of quality of life things, but in general - visual style is nice, alchemy is really thought thru and have few unique twists, not focused on automation as much as I expected it, but that's not a bad thing either. Few major updates which would be really nice to have: - Some quest locations are not marked on the map and it's really hard to find them...

I played this in early access with high hopes of the games it would become... trouble is it just never happened. It never became a complete, balanced game. It's cute but still pays more like a demo.
