Brew & Bottle

Game premise and mechanics

Brew & Bottle is a cozy alchemy game set at the edge of a village. Players operate an alchemy shop where they create potions by hand. You grind, cut, and press ingredients, heat a cauldron, stir, and distill the final product into bottles for sale. The process requires active participation, as everything is done manually rather than by pressing buttons.

Ingredient processing

In the game, ingredients must be processed by the player. You can chop items on a board, crush gems with a pestle in a mortar, and press them for extracts. Each ingredient needs specific treatment, as ground coal is different from cut coal. Experimentation plays a key role, failed attempts result in the loss of ingredients, while successful ones yield potions.
