About the Game

Hocus Potions is a game about friendship and witchcraft. You're a young witch who just moved in to her old Grand Aunt's cottage, and you're just starting out on your journey to become a powerful magician! You'll grow and gather ingredients, brew powerful potions, and help -- or hinder! -- the locals.

The local townsfolk will come to you with problems -- it's up to you to decide what potions might solve them!
