This involves a mini game like Simon Says or Guitar Hero without the music, then before you know it you’ll know they need some soothing balm or blister popper. Every couple of days somebody new will turn up in your infirmary complaining that their tummy hurts or their thigh feels weird, then it’s up to you to use your chemist training to figure out what they need. The medicines you make are needed to heal the citizens of Moonbury when they get poorly. Your cauldron can only fit a limited number of materials in though, so especially for later recipes you won’t be able to just slot in loads of manageable little rocks. Each ingredient is a different shape and element, and you need to fill another bigger shape to make each medicine. So far, so Stardew Valley, right? Well, brewing up potions is (as you might expect) a huge part of Potion Permit, and involves choosing ingredients to slot into a grid in your cauldron. Taking them down isn’t just something you do to survive either, because they’ll also drop potion materials. Some tools are faster but deal less damage whereas others are slow and strong, but you’ll need to use all of them as enemies have shields that can be destroyed or armour that need shattering. Combat is as simple as swinging one of your farming tools at a nasty mole or bear. There are also enemies outside of town too, who will happily send you home injured if you don’t take care of them. You’d better keep an eye on your energy meter when you do this, because otherwise you’ll collapse and wake up late the next day (after being shamefully rescued by a ranger).

You’re equipped with a sickle, an axe and a hammer, so you hack down weeds, smash rocks for ore, and cut down trees in the search for the perfect ingredient.

To start earning their trust you go out to collect materials, so you can mix up a potion for the mayor’s daughter. It’ll take some doing though, because when you arrive and take up residence the entire village is pretty outraged. When an unexpected letter requesting help comes to the Medical Association from the mayor, our hero is shipped out to help build bridges with this community. Buying a potion and using it when you’re in a pinch is all well and good, but what of the humble apothecary that made that helpful and tasty brew? Potion Permit is a game to celebrate all the healers out there who have helped us battle through many a boss fight.Īfter an accident involving a previous chemist caused plants to die and the land decay, the people of Moonbury aren’t really fans of modern medicine. We use a lot of potions in video games, but we rarely think about where that potion has come from.
