Potions: A Curious Tale, a potion-crafting adventure from developer Stumbling Cat, whips up whimsical concoctions on PC via Steam on Thursday, March 7, 2024. Get a sneak peek of the adorable action in a magical demo debuting at Steam Next Fest from Feb. 5-12, 2024.
Overcome fantastical obstacles as Luna, a young witch who recently discovered her ability to create magical potions. With the help of Helios, Luna’s witty cat companion, gather rare ingredients from monsters, fruits, plants, and other items across seven mystic biomes. Create more than 100 different potions in her quest to become the master brewer of the land.
Experiment with ingredients to create healing, offensive, and defensive recipes. Solve ingenious puzzles blocking her path, and take down eclectic enemies from worldwide folklore like the Greek Siren, African Grootslang, and Norse Kraken. Startle pesky Gobblers, blow spores off of Mushdooms, or taunt adorable Icehogs to acquire potion components that are unobtainable through traditional combat.
Witness Luna flourish into a brave young woman through a vibrant illustrated art style and whimsical music, paying homage to classic storybook adventures and folklore tales. Using her sharp tongue and wit, learn vital lessons in a coming-of-age story where respect is earned, advice can be deceiving, and adults may not always be right.
“I’ve always wanted to create a game that inspires young women into becoming whatever they set their hearts out to be,” says Renee Gittins, creative director at Stumbling Cat. “I hope Potions: A Curious Tale can help them achieve their dreams and also serves to inspire people to learn more about diverse cultures through the folklore and fairytales we featured in it.”
Potions: A Curious Tale crafts tantalizing tonics on PC via Steam on Thursday, March 7, 2024, for USD $29.99, with a 15% launch discount until Thursday, March 21, 2024. It will feature English, Chinese (traditional and simplified), French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, and Russian localizations.
