Brew or Die. Literally!
Waking up to a knock on the door, you find an unambiguous letter: a huge debt, the deadline for which is approaching very soon. The jokes are over. Your only chance to save your skin is to revive a long-abandoned shop. Thus begins your desperate (and somewhat crazy) adventure.
Your new weapon? Potions! Digging through the junk, you stumble upon an old textbook on potion-making, inherited from your father. Brilliant! After all, what could be more in demand in this village than magical brews? But there's a catch: there are no ingredients. And the most valuable (and dangerous) components – like the fangs of swamp creatures or the eyes of forest spirits – can only be obtained in dungeons.
What awaits you:
1. Become an Adventurer: Obtain a license from the Guild of Adventurers. Without it, the path to mysterious dungeons teeming with monsters is closed.
2. Risk Your Life: Explore various dangerous locations in semi-turn-based battles. Fight monsters, gather rare plants, and... harvest necessary "organics."
3. Brew and Survive: Use your loot for crafting and potion-making! Experiment with recipes, create healing, combat, and just plain strange potions.
4. Transform the Shop: Sell your creations! Upgrade your shop – expand your inventory, make displays more attractive, raise prices (after all, the debt is not small!).
5. Grow the Foundation: Start a garden! Gardening is the key to stable supplies of simpler, yet equally important ingredients for your potions.
Can you turn the chaos of dungeons and the magic of the cauldron into gold coins? Manage the shop, take risks on adventures, brew, sell, and fend off creditors in Brew or Die – a game where potion-making is a matter of life, debt, and... potential wealth!
