The prime of your life is behind you...

You have found fame and fortune in creating potions and tinctures

But you are not ready for your story to be over.

As you pour over your books, you find clues that point you to strange decoctions that can prolong your life, even grant immortality.

The costs may be high, but every risk is worth...

Very interesting game. Pretty complex and with nice content. I think it is a great idea to be developed into a full game.

banskin4 Apr 2022, 20:43

really nice game, good level of depth, definatly feels like you're delaying the inevitable!

Insane amount of content in just a few days. Really complex system that would be really cool to be expanded upon!

I can see you have put some brains behind the mechanics of this game. Like mentioned above I think you have a game idea here which could be explored further. I like this. Oh, and the music is pretty good too :)

Really cool and fun idea. I found the trial and error of it extremely satisfying.

Cool concept -- took me a bit to understand what was going on, but I started to get the grips of things. I wasn't able to make the elixir of life, but I did make some other cool stuff

Love this! Learned as I went, very innovative and cozy (a good choice at midnight) yet fun. Will probably continue at some point, would love to see this developed further as well.

@attala Thanks! My roommate heard we were making a game so he came to us with a piano rendition! He really knocked it outta the park

The music was really cool and took me a bit to figure out but it was neat to experiment not sure if I totally get it yet but it was neat for sure

Very good game! I loved that the tutorial explained everything with cards.

Great music. great atmosphere, however had trouble undestanding how it worked at first.

Loved it! The pixel art is really good, the music and sound effects are very pleasant, the use of theme was quite innovative - one of the best use of the theme, really. Amazed by the amount of content, had a blast playing, thank u!!

You've put quite a lot into this one. Thumbs up for the music and sounds. It isn't my genre and I couldn't crack it. Despite the tutorial. That doesn't imply the game's flawed, I can totally see the audience for this. Good job!

Very in depth and impressive what you got done in the allotted time. My hat off to you. I had a hard time reading the cards. Other than that, very cool.

Interesting idea, good implementation! Cool!

Deck building games are always fun! I like the twist that there's not really an opponent here (except time, I suppose) but you just have to manage all the different metrics. Clear tutorial as well!
