The Witch's Cauldron

The Witch's Cauldron from Harvey Games is a narrative roguelike where you play a medieval witch operating out of a small townhouse, brewing potions for the steady stream of locals who visit your door. Each day brings new visitors with their own requests, and each potion you brew shifts the kingdom in some direction.

The central tension is reputation management. Good rumours and bad rumours both spread through the town, and inquisitors track the bad ones to your door. Balancing fame with quiet survival is the strategic loop; when the inquisitors get too close, you can flee to a different town and start over with what you've learned.

60+ characters visit, each with their own story and multiple branching options. Bards, vampires, innkeepers, and even the king himself drop by. Potions start basic but unlock through ingredient experimentation and conversation hints, carrying over between lifecycles so each new witch starts with the recipes the last one discovered.

Six main story endings affect the entire kingdom's future. Multiple witch skins unlock unique quest lines and slightly alter gameplay. Nighttime events reflect daytime choices — your potions echo back through the world while you sleep. Highly replayable by design, with hidden depths revealed only after specific main-story completions.
