About the Game

Your master has left you in charge of his apothecary for two full weeks. Sounds easy enough... until the shop fills with demanding magical customers, your potion recipes pile up, and chaos starts bubbling over.

Cauldron Chaos is a top-down, 2.5D potion-making game where you brew, bottle, and sell potions as fast and accurately as possible — all before the day ends.

🧪 What You’ll Do:

  • Follow a queue of potion recipes delivered to you in a fixed order.

  • Pick up ingredients, add them to the cauldron, stir when required, and bottle the final brew.

  • Deliver potions to whichever customer is asking for them — there's no strict order, and no individual timers.

  • Work against the day’s overall time limit to complete as many correct potions as you can before closing.

✨ Core Features:

  • Hands-On Potion Crafting: Simple, satisfying actions like grabbing ingredients, stirring, and bottling bring each potion to life.

  • Flexible Customer Queue: Serve potions based on need — if someone wants the finished brew, they’ll take it, regardless of line order.

  • Time-Based Pressure: You’re racing the clock, not the customers. Efficient brewing and multitasking are key.

  • Chaotic Daily Events: Every other in-game day throws a magical wrench into your routine — reversed controls, ingredient mix-ups, and more.

  • Two-Week Challenge: Survive 14 increasingly wild days and prove you’re ready to run the apothecary for good.

  • Cozy Yet Chaotic Vibes: Enjoy a whimsical magical shop aesthetic, filled with colorful potions, silly mishaps, and charming characters.

Can you master the art of potion-making under pressure and keep the shop afloat until your master returns?
