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?
