About Potions Practicum

Take over your mother’s potion shop for a single, unpredictable week.In this cozy but strategic shop management roguelike, every decision matters. Brew potions, serve strange customers, and try to keep your business alive long enough to make it to the end of the week.

🧙‍♀️ Run the Shop

Customers arrive with requests, offers, and problems: some straightforward, others… less so.
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?

Soo cute. Finding potion recipes feels good, and the talking cat is funny. It's actually worth reading the interactions, and for me that's the best part. Worth the low cost, and can see myself spending a few hours here.

You might like this game if you go in with the right expectations. I didn't, but I think if I knew the below, I would have had a better time. Thus, I will make it a recommendation and hope the below review will be helpful. It's impossible to win on your first try. This game requires you to restart and/or lose several runs so that you can identify enough formulas to eventually win a run. I did not expect this (I'm used to longer games that will give me a chance to win on the first playthrough), so it resulted in some frustration. Each day is based on a real-life timer ticking up. Once the time reaches a certain point, it ends the day regardless of what you are doing. The next day, you can usually pick back up where you left off, but not always (sometimes a customer is not there any more). The resources (formulas, ingredients, wood, and gold) are scarce and rely on randomness for a chance to learn, buy, or earn. There were several times that I was sitting on my thumbs watching the clock and waiting for the day to end, so I could buy some wood to make a potion. A few times the day would end and I would suddenly not have enough gold to buy any wood, because the computer decided that…

A surprisingly adorable potion‑crafting game. The art style and music are unbelievably cute, and the whole atmosphere feels cozy from the first minute. Mixing potions is fun and relaxing, and the cat character constantly made me laugh. If you want something light, charming, and entertaining, this one is perfect.
