A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Discover your hidden alchemy skills by deciphering this potion recipe! This challenging puzzle will provide you endless fun, if you clear the board before you go crazy! Help yourself to some delicious coffee, if the game is becoming too hard. You can jump straight into the ARCADE mode or find a TUTORIAL in the STORY section. If you forget anything a LEXICON can be found in the TOOLBOX (lower left or <Q>).


Goal of the game: Uncover all cells on the board without losing your sanity (bar on the lower left) and before you click on the FLAMEL (value = 5)

How cells work: Each cell can be empty, contain the FLAMEL, be a hint or ingredient. The small icons next to the hint number or large ingredient icon show, which types of ingredients (salts, herbs or mushrooms) there are in the direct neighborhood i.e. the adjacent hexagons. The hint numbers are the sum of all the levels of the ingredients in the neighborhood. Some ingredients might have a level too high for you to uncover. What can be safely clicked on, is shown on a panel in the lower center of the screen.

Controls:
Uncover with left click, flag with right click.
Movement: Touch the edges with the cursor/<W-A-S-D>/<arrows>
Toolbox: panel in the lower left corner or <Q> Potions: panel in the upper right corner or <E>, then just click on the potion you want. Colors and sound/music/volume can be changed in the settings. there is a DARK MODE.
