Potion Game

Potion Game is a vertical slice created in 2022 by myself and the rest of the J Squad.

The itch.io page can be found here.

The game is played from a first-person perspective. The player starts with a weak but infinitely usable melee weapon. They have access to a number of potion-creating implements in a small cabin, but no materials with which to make potions. Those materials can be found in the Dark Forest. The player travels to and explores the Dark Forest, where they gather potion materials. These come from environmental pickups around the forest, as well as monster drops. Monsters will be difficult to slay with the melee weapon alone, and so the player will have the easiest time collecting environmental pickups, crafting damaging and healing potions, and then attacking the monsters. Those monsters will then drop the materials for a higher-level damaging potion. When the player feels reasonably well-stocked on both damaging and healing potions, they may progress to the area boss, the Abandoned Golem.
