Seattle, WA – March 7, 2024 – Potions: A Curious Tale, a potion-crafting adventure from developer Stumbling Cat, casts a spell on Windows PC via Steam today. The live-action launch trailer can be seen here.
Embark on a coming-of-age adventure as Luna, a young witch discovering her potion-making abilities. Alongside her witty cat companion Helios, venture through seven mystical biomes teeming with storybook wonders. Talk to townsfolk, meet classic folklore characters, and prove adults wrong on Luna’s quest to become the ultimate potion master.
Dust off the master recipe book featuring over 100 potions based on fire, water, earth, and other elements. Gather ingredients from the flora and fauna across each biome, and experiment to create a cornucopia of offensive and defensive concoctions. Mix mushrooms, ashes, and feathers to create a Minor Explosion Potion. Or blend blueberries, thyme, and a feather to create a Minor Potion of Healing.
Solve perplexing puzzles blocking Luna’s path, employing more than combat to get ahead. Think strategically – and fast – to escape danger. Tease and scare critters or lure them into hazards to collect useful potion ingredients, and ask Grandma, a powerful witch herself, for helpful advice.
Whether in a lush green field or fire-illuminated cave, get swept away in an illustrated art style and whimsical music inspired by fairytale adventures. Featuring a diverse mix of folklore and myths from around the world, Potions: A Curious Tale, teaches powerful lessons about growing up: respect must be earned, advice can be great but not always practical, and adults also make mistakes.
“After developing Potions for nearly a decade, I’m excited to share Luna’s story with the world,” said Renee Gittins, creative director at Stumbling Cat. “I hope her adventures inspire women and underrepresented communities from all over the world to pursue the path they’ve always dreamed of, whatever it may be.”
Potions: A Curious Tale crafts tantalizing tonics on PC via Steam today for USD $19.99, 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.
