News Unleash Your Inner Alchemist with Potion Tales

Potion Tales, a 3D puzzle game that takes you on a journey of magical potion making and decision-making, is making its way to the gaming scene. In this game, you run an underground magic potion shop and are approached by different creatures, including fire spirits and gravekeepers, who present you with problems and ask for a potion to solve it.

• Puzzle A: Consulting the Recipe Book

The first step in the game is consulting the recipe book and finding a potion that you think will solve the problem. This part of the game is flexible and opens the door for players to use their judgement and creativity. There are no wrong answers, and your patrons will usually return to tell you what happened after taking the potion.

• Puzzle B: Finding the Ingredients

The second step is finding the ingredients on your shelves and following the recipe. The game area is small, with most of the room taken up by a large box shelf along the back wall. Each cubby contains a jumble of different ingredients, with no real order, and each potion has four ingredients. Finding the ingredients can be challenging, so players need to have a good eye. However, you can pick up and move items around at your leisure, allowing you to organize your ingredients as you see fit.

• Throwing Ingredients in the Cauldron

Ingredients must be thrown into the cauldron in the right order, following the recipe. The recipe will specify if something needs to be chopped, crushed or liquified. Some items make a noise when you hold them, adding to the sensory experience of the game. The fire under the cauldron crackles in a cozy way, and the sploosh as you toss items into the cauldron is fantastic.

• No Wrong Answers

Potion Tales is refreshing in that there are no wrong answers. Your patrons are happy to trust your judgement on what potion will fit their predicament best and will accept whatever you give them. The game encourages players to have fun and explore different possibilities, and other answers won't throw a girder in front of your progress and tell you off for having fun.

• Impressive Sound Design

Potion Tales has great sound design, from the crackling fire under the cauldron to the sploosh of ingredients being tossed in. The more you play, the more you'll appreciate the attention to detail that has gone into the game.

• A Game with a Good Sense of Humor

Potion Tales has a good sense of humor, as seen in the tutorial level, where you help a fire spirit who has accidentally set a furry golem on fire. The game allows you to experiment with different potions and see the results, such as turning a gladiator into an animal or metal. The game is so much fun that players will be disappointed when the demo ends, but that's the point of demos, after all.

In conclusion, Potion Tales is a unique and fun puzzle game that offers players the opportunity to make their own decisions, experiment with different potions, and have fun in the process. With no wrong answers and a good sense of humor, Potion Tales is a game you won't want to miss.
