Update - 1.0.4.0 - Major Optimization Improvements (and Merch!)

Greetings Potions Masters, You will note this is a larger patch than usual! This patch contains massive optimization overhauls and required restructuring of the project. These optimizations should greatly reduce load times, especially on lower end machines, and will provide memory performance improvements as well. We are also working on some free endgame content for you to enjoy, including a new temple to explore, the Temple of Spirit! Unfortunately, it is not ready to share just yet, but were sure youll enjoy the puzzles and strategic boss fight when it is released!
Finally, before we get into the patch note details, I wanted to let you know that the Helios plushie is now available along with various extra items from our Kickstarter backer rewards, including a gorgeous book, The Art of Potions: A Curious Tale, full of both lore and developer commentary. If youd like to adopt your own Helios, explore the art and creative decisions behind Potions, or enjoy posters and postcards of Luna and Helios, then please check out: https://www.stumblingcat.com/merch
Now onto the changes/fixes:

  • Fixed multicraft bug that would occasionally eat ingredients upon increasing craft count

  • Moved the credits to the main load scene and removed from the main menu
  • Added cooldowns for closing popup windows to prevent accidental closures
  • Sphinx now animates properly for all of her dialog options
  • Fixed bug where Chimera would spawn on top of Luna when she exits from its lair
  • Fixed bug where card names wouldn't load properly when page turned from a blank card in their section in the Magical Card Book
  • Fixed bug where a limited chase range wouldnt break aggro and cause monsters to run away while still facing Luna
  • Lunas footsteps stop when the game is paused
  • Fixed bug that could cause Luna to lose her mounted status between levels
  • Fixed missing Darkness sounds in the Temple of Destruction
  • Fixed Snail animation bug
  • Fixed various issues with Emilys golem illusion scene in the Temple of Truth
  • Jinn is now less likely to instantly fly back into his bottle on spawn
  • Added gate close noises to buttons so it is more apparent how they are deactivating gates
  • Added extinguish sound to turning lanterns off via the deluminator
  • Fixed missing dragon roar SFX in dragon dialog
  • Fixed bug where forge timer would increase while game was paused
  • Fixed bug that would allow interruption of dialog by exiting Grannys house

Add Potions: A Curious Tale to your wishlist!




Use your wits to strategize conflict resolution that goes beyond pure combat-- you’ll have to think on your feet and act quickly to sidestep danger and trick, charm, and scare your opponents into dropping valuable resources.

As powerful as your potions are, you’ll find yourself up against monsters that can shrug off your most powerful attacks. Manage your resources carefully and use the environment and even other monsters to defeat your enemies, or you may find yourself with an empty satchel when you need your elixirs the most.




On her path to potions mastery, Luna must gather rare ingredients even before she brews her first potion. While her grandmother and friends teach her basic skills and recipes, Luna must fill her vials through experimentation and discovery.

Explore the deep crafting system as you discover new ingredients across 7 biomes to craft over 100 unique potions with different element combinations.




Solve devious puzzles and mysteries with your wits and your arsenal of mystical potions. With a little help from your grandmother (a powerful witch in her own right) and Helios, your cat familiar, you’ll overcome the challenges of these enchanted lands.




Growing up is hard, and it’s even harder when you’re a witch! Encounter fairy tale and folklore characters as you guide Luna on her quest to become a potions master. With her sharp-tongued familiar at her side, Luna learns important coming-of-age lessons: Respect is earned, advice can be deceiving, and adults aren't always right.
