This game was made for Ludum Dare 49 with a theme "Unstable".

Description

Your dreams came true - you have been hired by a great witch. Today is your first day as her apprentice, and you need to help her brew the most awesome and complicated elixir.

Can you be fast and competent enough to make it in the witching world?

Gameplay

In this game, you need to do your best to assemble the ritual recipes and add them to the cauldron to make the elixir. You'll gather ingredients, prepare them in the proper way and bring those to a proper ritual place.

The elixir is hard to make and notoriously unstable. Each recipe you assemble correctly and put into your cauldron, stabilizes the brew and brings you one step closer to success! You'll need to be fast and precise, or all will die in a deluge of fire! Just like Mr. Bones did.
