The demo is finished! A lot of work has been done. And a lot of work is further after the festival. Finally, you can test the demo on your own.

There are several ways to play.

You don't have to follow the rules - you can just brew potions without paying attention to customer expectations:

• Just not spend your money on expensive components

For players who are not afraid of difficulties, there are some challenges:

• Brew effective potions, but not at a loss
  
• Keep a book of recipes
  
• Try to prepare potions with common properties among your customers in advance
  
• Work out a tactic of arranging the components of the potions so that you can find them quickly
  
• Buy only necessary components from the merchant
  
• Pay attention to service - prepare tasty and non-toxic potions, and at the best time

The demo contains all the main mechanics and some additional stuff:

• Сustomer service and quests of 1 and 2 difficulty levels (from 5)
  
• Categories of components and their properties ( basic, additional, and special)
  
• Component arrangement and usage
  
• Brewing potions from components
  
• Time, money, and reputation system (with some sort of balance)
  
• Сustomer feedback in letters (overall, effect and service rating with rewards)
  
• Potions are recorded in recipes, which can be renamed, anchored, and deleted
  
• Buying components from a merchant
  
• Unique characters and customer generator (with professions)
  
• The usual text tutorial
  
• Art, interface, sounds, effects, and touchable pet (very close to the final)
  
• Localization system (you can choose English or Russian)
  
• Balance for test

Main course after Next Fest:

• A lot of work with quests (quest chains with unique characters, generated city population, and your effect on it, customer relation to you)
  
• Shop customization to boost roleplay aspect (set up a natural, dark or holy design of the store)
  
• It is also possible to add a witch's garden, as well as forays into the forest for components
  
• More themed merchants
  
• More unique characters
  
• Interactive tutorial
