About the Game

Guide Leon the Alchemist on his journey through this 2D, hand-drawn, narrative-driven adventure as he uncovers the supernatural origins of a city's collapse. Spend your time exploring detailed levels, brewing potions from scavenged ingredients, using them to solve environmental puzzles, and battling cursed fish-man creatures.

Brewing

  • Obtain potion ingredients through scavenging and as quest rewards. 

  • Complete minigames to determine the strength of the potions.

  • Create potions that interact with the world in different ways.

  • Fill a recipe book with your own custom potions.

Save the city

  • Uncover the dark truths of Port Gelour, find the origin of the curse and try not to go mad while doing it.

  • Spend some time in the city, and you will be asking; Is a supernatural presence the only thing wrong with Port Gelour?

Hand-drawn and animated art - 0% AI

  • Port Gelour has a variety of locations, each more cursed than the next. Explore dank alleys, windswept beaches, lavish manors and much more!

  • We've drawn inspiration from old Cartoon Network and Adult Swim TV shows for the art style.

  • Apothecurse is proudly AI art-free; our small team draws all of the art.
