Game description
Mystic Cauldron is a magical potion-brewing game where you craft unique potions for NPCs by deciphering their cryptic hints about essences. Combine up to two essences to uncover secret recipes and serve them before time runs out. Earn gold for successful creations and invest in upgrades like faster cauldrons, extra brewing stations, or storage for pre-made potions. With its enchanting atmosphere, engaging mechanics, and a touch of mystery, Mystic Cauldron challenges you to master the art of alchemy and run a thriving magical tavern.
Theme interpretation
The theme of "Secrets" influenced Mystic Cauldron by shaping its core gameplay around deciphering hidden hints and discovering the right potion combinations. Each NPC brings a request shrouded in mystery, requiring players to uncover the "secret recipe" through clever interpretation of their clues.

it turned out very interesting)
Clever use of the theme. It was the right amount of challenging where I was like “oh I know what that is” and I was right but it took a second of thinking. It felt fun to go fast but I really struggled to manage more than one customer at once so I fell back on just doing them one at a time and that felt good.
