About

Markus, the young apprentice of a local potion master, has barely started his apprenticeship when trouble began - his master, Zabella, was found lifeless (but not quite dead) on the floor of her own underground lab. The local doctor can only do so much, leaving it up to Markus to investigate his master's mysterious collapse and -hopefully- find a way to cure her.
Made in three weeks for the MAGS competition: Healing. Boldly untested. Save often!

Awards & Reviews

AGS Panel Rating

Longer and more evolved than most MAGS games, this fantasy game excels in world building and looks and sounds excellent. This reviewer enjoyed the puzzles. While mixing potions may not seem  everyone's idea of a fun pasttime, the recipes are remarkably well integrated into the story, which makes it all the more compelling.

Very good graphics and interesting concept. However, it was rough around the edges (hard to find exits, having to click certain things in a special order, etc.) and that reduced the enjoyment for me (I might be a bit too critical here, because fantasy is definitely not my favourite genre). The game leaves the feeling of something bigger to come. Let's see, what the creators will come up with!

The game shows a lot of potential! The drink mixing is really a lot of fun. It entertained me well, and I look forward to perhaps playing a more elaborate version of it in the future.

Impressive attention to detail and stunning artwork makes the world of the potion masters come alive. I found the puzzles challenging, but fair. Recommended!
