The Bleaky Cauldron
A downloadable game for Windows
About the game
Stir up some magical mayhem in The Bleaky Cauldron, a fast-paced potion-brewing game where witches work to craft love potions, luck elixirs, or deadly poisons! Fly around grabbing the right ingredients for the order and watch your fire burn and cauldron bubble to life. Play solo or team up for double, triple or quadruple the toil and trouble.
Will you brew delight... or spell disaster?
Bending the rules
In The Bleaky Cauldron, "bending the rules" goes beyond gameplay mechanics; it’s about cheating the rules of life. You're rewriting destinies with every spell by brewing potions that spark love, summon luck, or even end a rivalry. Why leave life to chance when you can stir up a better outcome... or a perfectly timed disaster? In this magical world, rules like "free will" and "luck of the draw" are just ingredients waiting to be mixed!
How to play
An order of potions is displayed at the top of the screen. Gather all the ingredients - as noted by the spell book (you can turn the pages) - for one brew at a time and throw them in the cauldron.
Remember to place a number of bottles in the bottling station, before kicking the cauldron and sending the finished potion out the door.
Did your concoction turn grey? Looks like you didn't follow the recipe! You'll need to dump it and start over...
