About the Game

Cauldron is a game about exploration, battling monsters, and leveling up your party through minigames. Gather resources to upgrade minigames, heroes, abilities, and more! Play as Nyx, a young witch cast into this darkness-covered world. Discover the truth and find new allies to help you on your journey!


  • Play minigames to gather resources!

  • Infinitely upgrade minigames, heroes, items, and more!

  • Battle monsters to explore more of this mysterious world!

There's no "right" way to play Cauldron...

  • Do you love to grind minigames over and over? Go for it!

  • Would you rather let the game auto-collect while you're gone? No shame in that!

  • Do you love to carefully organize your party and skills to dish out maximum damage? Go ahead!

  • Would you rather get completely overpowered so you don't have to think about any of that stuff? Great!

  • Exponential minigame progression (we're talking REALLY big numbers)

  • Unique skill trees for 20+ heroes

  • Multiple game modes, including Idle, Pacifist, and EVIL

  • Unlockable autobattler to do the battling for you

  • An upgradable collection box that auto-gathers resources

  • Character skits

  • A snarky pink sidekick who never leaves your side

  • Talking birds
