The Witch's Cauldron: prologue – A small plot part of a simulator of a medieval witch from the young indie team Harvey Games.


You are a witch living on the outskirts of a small medieval town with her cat. Potions are your tools of choice. With your cauldron you brew your way through the world. But you've got to keep your balance. On one side of the scales is the terror you bring. On the other - your fame among the people. If the scales are tipped too much, someone will definitely come for your life. But it doesn't really matter, for your soul was lost long ago. And the cycle will continue.

While the shadow of the inquisition is yet far away, peasants, townsfolk and even the king himself are coming to pay their respects to you. Listen to their problems, learn their mysteries, unlock new recipes, and keep in mind that your benevolent or malevolent intentions will surely make a difference.

Branching narrative.


Meet a cast of weird petitioners with their incessant requests. Help them or follow your own agenda. Uncover secrets, play with people's fates or just make the cows sing. Potions you choose to brew for your visitors influence future events.

Potion discovery.


You begin knowing only a couple of basic recipes, but by experimenting with mixes you can unlock new ones. Not every problem can be solved with rat poison (but nothing stops you from trying). And no matter what gruesome end you've met in your last cycle, you get to keep all unlocked recipes. If you hit a block in your research, you can always ask for help, but are you ready to pay the price?

Keep the balance.


Don't let fame or fear get to your head. And remember: peasants have pitchforks and there's a lot of them.

Plethora of endings.


The multitude of potions and plot twists ensure high replayability. Some recipes, game mechanics and endings become unlocked only when certain conditions are fulfilled (like beating the main story or getting some game-ending events).

A cat.


You have one and you can pet him.

This game is so engaging! I didn’t expect anything from it, but it’s addictive. Random events enhance the effects of my actions and I had to adjust my strategy all the time, but their impact is consistent with the setting. So it works cool for immersion in the game! The art style is pure love! Looking forward to the release, wanna see all the endings!

I liked this one. It’s a neat little potion making game where people come to you with problems and you get to decide what to brew for them, and your choices can actually change what happens later. It’s only a prologue so it’s pretty short, but it definitely made me interested in the full game.

"The Witch's Cauldron Prologue" is is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "The Witch's Cauldron". The Witch's Cauldron is a glorified mobile app (that doesn't seem to have made it to app stores yet), a monotonous "potion making" clicker type game with barely animated 2D images, it's tedious and comes across as a minigame from some other real game that's been dumped on Steam because the app stores have QA departments where Valve has Steam Direct. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not The Witch's Cauldron, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "The Witch's Cauldron Prologue" too. The purpose of this advertisement is to get you to shell out a whopping $8 USD on buying The Witch's Cauldron, and I don'…
