You have been visited by a magical creature: the Black Cat. This creature bestows upon you the power of witchood and with it the ability to cast magical spells and mix fantastic potions.
\nBut the Black Cat is a fickle creature, and should you act out of accordance with what the cat believes to be a proper witch, then you will lose favor. Should you lose too much, you risk the removal of your new-found powers.
\nWitch Potion is an event-based dice game where you mix potions, cast spells, solve problems, and ultimately try to convince the Black Cat that you are worthy of your powers.
\nThe controls are simple: click or tap the buttons to make choices when you are prompted.
\nEnjoy, and know that if you fail, you can always retry.
\nImpressive but a bit too much text for me :)\nToo bad there’s no sound too.

Maybe adding more dice or improving success chances would give players a fairer shot and more room for strategy. Seems interesting, but too difficult and random for me

With so much reading to do, the thin black font on the white background felt a little dazzling or just hard on my eyes after getting through several days in the game. Luckily as it appears to be all HTML based I was able to up the zoom to make it more readable. But while black on white is the highest possible contrast ratio in terms of readability, a slightly larger font size and/or a light background colour might help.

The thing with text based game like this is, you demand so much player’s attention without keeping them entertained with hooks like a fancy cartoon or a melodic tune. I just spammed the buttons skipping all the narrative or potion crafting that is about the core of your efforts. I also find it interesting that you built a custom language to define the data structures and even a VS Code extension, which I think is cool.

\nI wonder if you could adapt this to a grid based adventure game also? Think Legend of Zelda on the Gameboy. Or perhaps a fun push notification to someones phone as a daily break from reality - that spans in real time! So over 1 month.
\nA lot of possibilities for this game. Would love to see where you take it.
\nNice work.

\nYour game was a really great entry. I’m surprised how you managed to fit so much text in this game.
\nI think I was unlucky but the three times I played, I rarely got anybody asking me for potions so I couldn’t make any money :(
\nVery enjoyable nonetheless, I spent quite a bit of time playing.

\nGraphically it looked good, and there was plenty of depth to the game which was great

Also, dicey dungeons style risk-taking. The interface is very basic but efficient. The writing is really quite charming, well done! I might have been quite poor at it but I kept growing no herbs and couldn’t find a way to get any gold, so I was a bit stumped. Some other small suggestions for tweaks:
\nFinally, not sure why my cat familiar is telling me what to do 😂… unless it’s another witch in disguise perhaps?

I feel like there’s too much going on from the start, too many different items and mechanics to learn, and right on the first day I get robbed of all my gold. I think you need to improve the learning curve and allow some time to get used to things before introducing too many spells and events. But overall, congrats, the game is pretty complex!
