Potions: A Curious Tale News

Greetings, Potions Masters!

Please pardon the minor patches, I am working to make the game as polished and stable as possible!

• Fixed bug in Jason's quest that would cause Luna to freeze if she picked up multiple yeti fur at once.
  

Greetings, Potions Masters!

Thank you so much for all of your support and feedback. I've put together a quick patch to address some issues. Most importantly, I finally identified where the extremely rare progression bug was coming from (only ~3% of players had a chance to see this). If you find yourself "stuck", thinking you missed getting your next quest or other event, please go back a save or two and it should work fine now. If you run into this issue again, please let me know!

Patch Notes:

• Fixed bug that would cause post-dialog events to sometimes fail to trigger
  
• Fixed bug that would occasionally show a broken item in the Item Book
  
• Temple of Time boss obstacles should now behave more consistently
  
• Added orb in Temple of Truth to allow for backtracking after using cauldron
  
• Fixed typos in Jason's and Ziggy's dialog
  

Thank you so much for your support. Please let me know if you run into any issues!

With Magic,

Renee

"Potions: A Curious Tale" is more than just a game. It’s a testament to the power of perseverance, the beauty of diversity, and the strength found in kindness. As Luna navigates a world rich with folklore and faced with puzzles that challenge the mind rather than the might, we're reminded of the importance of looking beyond the surface and valuing the magic within each of us.

With the stars aligning in the most magical way, tomorrow marks International Women's Day, and we couldn't think of a better moment for "Potions: A Curious Tale" to make its debut. Our protagonist, Luna, is not just any young witch; she's a beacon of resilience, intelligence, and empathy.
