Patchwork Potions is a solo journaling game about accepting a role as village witch in a cozy rural community. You will craft potions, explore the wilds, form relationships, and investigate mysteries. Play at your own pace and comfort!
The game includes a colorfully unique grid system which acts as both a record of your past and an oracle of your future. Starting with a blank page, you will gradually fill in grid spaces with colors corresponding to the themes in your journal. As you play, your individual arrangement of colored spaces will help you determine further writing prompts. No two stories will have the same pattern of colors and themes, leaving you with a unique visual representation of your journal when the game is over.
Patchwork Potions can be played by itself or as an encounter generator to another game of your choice—particularly Apothecaria by Anna Blackwell, the inspiration for this game.
