Potion Craft gets surprise release on Switch

Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator was previously announced for Switch. However, what we didn’t know is when the title would actually be available. It turns out the wait is over, as you can pick it up right now.

The game was first made known for Switch exactly one year ago. tinyBuild was hoping to publish it this past spring, but that didn’t end up happening and we didn’t have any updates until today.

Here’s a rundown of everything you need to know:

If you’ve spent your childhood creating mud potions with sticks and trying to sell them to your friends, Potion Craft is the perfect videogame manifestation of the same nostalgic practice. If you want to murmur to yourself “My potions are too strong for you, traveler,” everytime a customer asks for remedies (or *wink* poisons), then what are you waiting for!? Get brewing in Potion Craft, an atmospheric management simulator set in a medieval fantasy world.

After traveling the world in search of your destiny, you stumble upon an abandoned house once occupied by an alchemist – with all the equipment left intact. It’s the perfect opportunity to set down roots as a novice alchemist and begin exploring the different ahem, alchemy, between different ingredients. What does this herb mixed with that oil base do? It’s up to you to find out.

That’s not the only experimentation you’ll need to do – managing client relationships is another type of alchemy. As your cauldron starts bubbling, knights, bandits, and simple townsfolk will all visit, with their own specific requests. Their asks won’t always be straightforward, and you’ll need to guess what concoction they want.

Key Features

• Unique visuals inspired by medieval manuscripts and medical books.
• Hyper satisfying physical interactions with ingredients and equipment.
• Sandbox style gameplay where you have many different avenues available, and it’s up to you to figure out the best way to complete each task.
• Sell your potions to the townsfolk while roleplaying as a noble artisan, a greedy weasel, an occult dark master, or whomever else you may wish to be!
