| Devlog #31. Monster Parts: New Mechanics | 2025-10-07 | Greetings, alchemists!In the previous devlog, we talked about the new type of ingredients we're currently working on for Potion Craft – monster parts. This time, we'll share a few more with you, and some monster parts with more advanced mechanics. Keep in mind that monster parts are still in development, and many properties may change over time – we'll be testing them in various combinations and listening to your feedback, so feel free to share your ideas and thoughts.Regular ingredients (such as herbs, mushrooms, and crystals) work in synergy with monster parts in skilled hands and help achieve amazing results!

| Devlog #30. Monster Parts | 2025-07-16 | Hello Alchemists! We're constantly working on a variety of new mechanics and content for the game, but today we wanted to share something special: we're developing a brand new ingredient class – monster parts!What's a potion without a bat wing, newt tail, or toad eye?

| Patch 2.0.2 and Steam Community Items are here! | 2025-06-26 | Greetings, Alchemists!We’re pleased to share with you today that the 2.0.2 “Hotfix” Patch for Potion Craft is now here. This planned hotfix ended up not being quite as ‘hot’ as we’d initially intended, as we had a few more things to fix than we’d originally thought (sorry!). We’ve fixed the most crucial bugs and issues, and tweaked the balance a bit – so if you’ve already finished a playthrough on Suffering difficulty, it might be time to do it again for even more of a challenge (don’t really do that, Suffering difficulty is not recommended for anyone!). We’ve also added some cool Steam Community Items, like cards, avatars, backgrounds, and m |
