Potions: A Curious Tale is an adventure-crafting game where your wits are your greatest weapons and combat is not always the answer. Encounter fairy tale characters and stories from around the world as you play as Luna, a young witch who overcomes obstacles with the potions she brews.
History
Potions is Stumbling Cat’s first major game with gameplay that challenges the traditional benefits of combat in games much as the story of Potions challenges the traditional depictions of folklore characters and events.
