About the Game

Welcome to the kingdom of Navitea!

You are the lucky owner of a traveling potion shop that can journey all across the kingdom. Every day, all sorts of customers with unique requests will come to you. Your task is to meet their needs by selling the right potions.

Each potion has special properties and provides different effects. They can not only be sold but also used in battle! Fight monsters, gather rare ingredients, and then grow them on your farm. Explore mysterious dungeons, experiment with recipes, and create powerful elixirs!

How to brew potions?

In a special room, you can create magical mixtures: grind ingredients into powder, add them to the cauldron, set the right temperature, stir three times—and poof!—the potion is ready! Collect recipes, defeat monsters, experiment, and keep an eye on your budget to avoid bankruptcy!

Game Modes

Story Mode – Immerse yourself in the story of Ruben, a young man who inherited massive debts… and an annoying frog. But it's not all bad! Soon, Emilio—the heir of a noble family—appears on the doorstep of his shop, offering the hero a chance to compete for a substantial prize. Be the first to reach the scorching city of Hafa and claim the reward!

Normal and Hard Modes – Here, the story is unavailable, but you can freely explore every corner of the kingdom without restrictions!
