About the Game

Step into the shoes of Riva, a young and curious potion apprentice living on the edge of an enchanting forest. As she hones her craft in potion-making, she familiarizes herself with the delicate balance of nature and humanity.

Life in the village is peaceful, filled with the joys of foraging ingredients, chatting with quirky townsfolk, and mastering new recipes. But beneath the calm lies a growing mystery: the arrival of strange amber stones that have taken the place of lovingly-handmade potions. They promise wonders beyond imagination, yet a creeping danger lurks behind their golden glow. As the village grows ever dependent on the ambers, Riva must unravel their mystery before they bring irreversible harm to the land she loves.

Will you restore harmony with your potions, or will the allure of the ambers lead to ruin?
