PAX Prime 2015: Potions: A Curious Tale is A Craft Brewed Adventure

Developer Stumbling Cat will be featuring their adventure crafting game, Potions: A Curious Tale at PAX Prime 2015.

In Potions: A Curious Tale you play as Luna, a young witch who has discovered her ability to brew potions. She lives in a land inspired by fairy tales and folklore from around the world — from Islamic lore to Western nursery rhymes.

Features:

  • Tongue-in-cheek storyline tackling life lessons of adolescence
  • Beautiful illustrated art style
  • Deep crafting system that rewards experimentation
  • Conflict resolution that goes beyond pure combat
  • Thwart enemies with strategic use of potions, movement and even other monsters
  • Using ingredients found by adventuring, brew potions to help overcome any obstacle
  • New perspective on fairy tales and folklore from around the world
  • Strong female lead character

Quotes from Judges:

“Potions: A Curious Tale is a wonderfully charming visual delight that promises a tongue-in-cheek storyline and lovely characters. While still in its early stages, gamers who love crafting and exploration should keep an eye on this game.” 
 
“It brought back a sense of nostalgia — it reminded me a off cross-breed of old school games.” 
 
“I loved how (reasonably) authentic all the potion ingredients seemed. No bugs or magic dust, but mushrooms, herbs, etc. It felt like I was really Luna.”

Potions: A Curious Tale is located on the 6th floor at booth #6010 at PAX Prime 2015.
