- Gather herbs and berries with Slavya in the forest.
- Cook and mix potions in different proportions. Some combinations will work, the others won’t. Sometimes you might get an unexpected effect.

STORY:

A girl called Slavyana lives with her cat in a little hut at the edge of the forest. One day, while she was sorting through some old stuff, she discovered an ancient manuscript about magic potions.

Once Slavya learns all the potions she'll become a Potion Master, and you will follow her through all the adventures that alchemy will lead her to.

Fun and fairly challenging to complete. I couldn't figure out one CG, but got it after reading some reviews... "je ne mange pas six jours" if you speak le french, or google translate if you don't. Dig like mad for the frying pan... the extra crap you dig up doesn't go into your inventory (to sell at the pawn shop), it goes directly into your money... between that and the other stuff you find in the barn, you can easily keep yourself afloat day to day. Buy the sponge asap. Once you start making better potions money becomes no problem. Have fun, and check out Everlasting Summer (free for android or windows) if you haven't yet, and Love, Money, Rock'n'Roll (their new kickstartered visual novel).

Playing the game is a calm way to pass the time. It's a fun little game. I was already a fan of this character (from Everlasting Summer), so naturally I gave it a try. The gameplay is simple enough: combine ingredients to make potions. The goal, essentially, is to unlock pictures, several of which I am going to describe as "incidentally erotic" in nature. Make a good potion, get a picture. Make a bad potion, get a picture. Make a particular potion, get a picture. Make all the potions, get a picture... and so on.

I liked this game a lot, but I feel it was too short, I think it could be expanded with more locations, potions, and interactions. Other than that, this game was pretty fun! I also liked that the character gets tired easily, part of the gameplay is she needs rest, as someone with chronic fatigue I could relate and enjoyed that aspect.

As someone who does not play anime story games and is just looking for a cute, casual time killer this fell short. It's cute and a bit silly; but they, for no reason, create seemingly random cut scenes where they show her underwear. Like...what? I'm just trying to play a little puzzler. There's no story. The game play is clunky and tedious. Game is short. Instructions are minimal. It's just not good. Oh, and the writing is in runes with minimal eglish. So you don't know what things are.

Enjoying this game so far wish i had known that the 50 coin item was a spoung that let you clean the bottles when i started it lol. Missing 5 more potions but cant seem to figure out what they are. Will try again later :)

She throw away Lenin like a trash, LOL ! Anyway its Slavya from Everlasting? No wonder it was so alike. Great job man ~

Fun concept, well executed gameplay, for what it was, good graphics. Short game that's mildly challenging. Lots of superfluous smut that was an attempt at a storyline, though, which kinda killed it. Something about being groped by tentacular blobs and getting back rubs from dirty old impish men... Definitely not kid-friendly.

It was nice to play it and quite challenging too. And even tho I didn't get the last 3 potions as a wiccan I'm happy the game helped to learn how to read in germanic runes :D

C70%
by C####:

In so happy this game exists, I was very pleased to find the use of runes, and the lack of tutorial like guidance when it comes to crafting adds an extremely entertaining challenge to the game. 10/10 would play it again, and again!

I loved the game it was very smooth with no ads and great story and graphics and the manual in game is helpful if you actually read it lol but my one big thing that I don't like about the game is when in the English setting the names of the potions and food are still in Russian if fix it would be perfect

W70%
by W####:

The overall premise of the game has lots of potential but the mechanics are not thought out. Example: 5 gold for a jar, energy to harvest 1 plant, yet it only sells for 2 gold! (a loss of 3 gold so you can't really get ahead) Another thing is I would find things in the little room with a shovel that said I could sell at the market but they never showed up in inventory!? Why eggs, milk etc? It would not let me cook! What's the sponge for? Perhaps adding a small manual to explain the purpose of it all?

Y70%
by Y####:

Fun game! I wish it were longer. I loved figuring out all the combinations, what worked and what didn't. There are some types of plants that have no use, though, and I wish something could be done with them to add some more potions!

Helpful hints like that 50 coin thing is a sponge used to clean failures and pans in the help menu was good but I have 2 potions left and i can't seem to get it if there was some way to figure it out short of being told like -being able to buy a hint or part of one you don't have in the shop or something so I don't have to resort to math outside of that very relaxing game

It's a really good game. I love the graphics because they were anime like, and I am a weaboo myself so I'm not complaining. I just wish that you would be given atleast 3 apples at the start but it's fine anyway, you can manage without the extra 2.

Frustrated, i made 18 potions in total What's stopping me from playing the game smoothly is that I cannot make a "purple potion" the purple flower and the jar don't work together But my little sister has all her potion's and on her mobile the purple flower and the jar = purple potion thingy! So a suggestion or am I going to get a "no reply" just as all the other complaints?

How do you clean the frying pan? I got the pan I just don't know how to clean it someone please tell me

It's pretty good only problem is so many sleeping and apple eating. Better give 5 express apples and score for 5 days forexample.

Really fun. Love trying to figureout the potions and trying to get all the pictures which is very hard. Play it. You will love it!

Very bad balancing. A lot of strange symbols. Very confusing. Abandoned! No updates! Do not load!

I use to uninstall the games I played because they were boring but not now when I started to play I could almost not put the phone down.

brain has to whirr a bit to figure how it works - which is good - but not too much since explanations are there ingame, like where the pan is and how it's cleaned. cute art (well the old guy.. urgh XD), i liked the 4th level potions' design and the runes too. long enough to fill an afternoon but not too long to get boring. i mean hey, it's free, so for that it's an awesome game! ... NOW: i have all 27 potions (i even remade them to have them all in my inventory), 5 meals + 1 drink, and i unlocked all pics. even all failure combinations possible. she ate good, starved, played... is there an "ending" to the game or have i been finished for days already?

I absolutely loved this game l. It was peaceful, but definitely NOT boring. I just wish it wasn't so short and there were more locations, characters, and potions.... sadly, I have yet to find another game like it :( make more characters and options (and maybe another game????) And ill give it a 5

Great game to take your mind away to some simple thinking. Too bad you have to donate on their website rather than pay via googleplay. Is there another way? Still nice short game. 5 stars deserved.

"I'll try to dig in granny's garden, near the barn. I found a skeleton! It's just some trash. I'll throw it away." "I'll try digging in the flower vat. I found laughing gas! I can sell it to the pawn shop to get four coins." I feel like Slavya's granny may have been a bit more than just a potion master! XD

Finished it in one sitting as it's not long, but really good. Some of the potions are really similar in colour so working out what combinations you've completed already can be a hassle at times, but overall enjoyed it.

Love it so much. But I'm still stuck at alchemist and can't figured out how to make all the recipe. But still, best game I've ever played...

Good game, really, but I've played everlasting summer before so when I started playing this I don't know what I expected. Again, good game, but if you've played E.S. you're probably gonna laugh a few times at every character ever.

Quick playing game that was entertaining while it lasted. The story is cute and the gameplay is fun. Art is beautiful and the little cut scenes are very nice. Definitely recommend if you like a puzzle.

Even though its a short game, I enjoyed every second playing it. Nicely done! I collected every potion and CG for fun too. And as I leave her being a potion master. I left her with a full inventory of everything usable and neccessary. Nice lovely game again! Good work to the devs and artists! Ahaha

Nothing better than a good small game, with management and maintainance tasks, events with artistic touches, and the feel of the completionist. I found every recipe and every variety of each multi-way recipe. Really feels comfy.

Good graphics and engaging plot! I love the story line! Challenging but not impossible! The cat is so cute! I love the barn searching area. Runes are a bit hard to figure out but not impossible!
