Potion Permit casts you as a chemist tending to the town of Moonbury, home to around thirty unique inhabitants who occasionally fall ill and call for your help. When residents get sick, their daily schedules grind to a halt while they recover, so your job is to diagnose their symptoms, reading signs like a low heart rate, a bloated liver, or burning lungs, and then craft the right remedy to set them back on their feet. It's a role that blends detective work with hands-on healing at the heart of this action-adventure RPG.
Curing patients means venturing out to gather ingredients using tools you can upgrade, from your hammer and axe to your sickle, all while watching for changing weather that might catch you in rain, a freezing blizzard, or desert heat. Some materials can't simply be harvested from a berry bush, requiring you to turn your tools into weapons and confront the monsters prowling the wilderness. Combat plays out in real time, and as a chemist you can brew concoctions to buff yourself or inflict status ailments on foes, supported by various tools. Back in your cauldron, the ingredients you collect come together into potions, ointments, and salves, giving this casual, RPG-flavored adventure on PC a satisfying loop of exploration and craft.
