cauldron design

Three ingredients will be scattered across each room of the witches tower (the levels) and the player will have to overcome obstacles and environmental puzzles in order to get to them. Once the player has reached an ingredient they must pick it up and, as a good animated servant, take it to the cauldron for brewing. These three ingredients can then be mixed together to create potions, giving the player new ways to move and interact with the environment.

Bottled is not a game about combining different ingredients to create a huge variety of potions, the recipes are conveyed to the player explicitly through the Witch's dialogue and by an open tome near the cauldron. If the player throws non ingredient objects into the cauldron (anything other than the three ingredients for that room) the cauldron will explode in a puff of smoke and reject it.

Once a potion has been brought to the cauldron, the player will have permanently unlocked it and will not have to go back to retrieve ingredients each time they'd like to use it.
