Potions are the powerups of our game. While you, the bottle, never get to actually drink the potions being filled with them imbues the player with nea ways to interact and explore the environment, helping you reach the next set of ingredients. Potions are created at the cauldron, see ingredients for more information on how they're made. A cauldron full of a useable potion can be interacted with to fill the player with that potion. Here is the design ideation document for these potions.

Planned potions

Herbal Tea

  • A simple potion made at the start of the game to onboard the player to the core game loop. Explore the environment, find an ingredient (tea), bring it to the cauldron, fill yourself with the potion, repeat. The herbal tea "potion" has no extra effects other than helping your witch recover with whatever is ailing her.

Fairy-Fire

  • This potion glows with magical blue magma textures. This potion allows the player to spout flame out of the top and light flammable objects such as candles or cobwebs. In addition to this, the glow of the potion acts as a magical blacklight, illuminating arcane runes drawn on the ground and walls. with this potion candles can be lit to trigger an enchantment of an ingredient, or help you find the book that has the final ingredient tucked between its pages.

Levi-Tincture

  • This potion is very floaty and causes the player to move as if they are in a much lower gravity environment, allowing them to make large slow jumps and drop long distances. In addition to this the potion can be spilt onto objects to have them levitate for a brief moment. With this potion the player will be able to traverse the upper areas of a room with thier higher jumps, and levitate obsticles that may have trapped ingredients that they need to access.

Wishlist Potions

Fizzy Mixture

  • This potion fizzes more and more as the player jumps up and down, and allows them to release the built up pressure in one sustained jet, rocketing them through the air.

Heavy Dense Liquid

  • This potion reduces the speed and jump height of the player, but makes them much heavier, allowing them to drop from great heights to smash containers that may contain ingredients the player needs access to. This potion could also weigh down the player when they need to travel under water.

Sticky Goo

  • This potion allows the player to fire out a glob of goo that acts like a grappling hook, allowing them to swing from the environment and pull down high up objects.

Slippery Oil/Speed Potion

  • This potion allows the player to create extra slippery surfaces that allow objects and characters to move more quickly.
