Play as a young witch trying to find their place in the world!
Brew potions, make some sweet gold, and try to gain the favor of one of the interesting beings that inhabit your small town.
Maybe they'll even love you without the help of a love potion!
You are young witch fresh out of Glamkic Academy of the Magical Arts. You've graduated with a degree in apothecary, specializing in potions which alter the fate of others. But what about your fate? Truth is you've been single during your whole time at the academy, I guess Cambions aren't popular on the dating scene, huh? Now back at home, with your rather strange parents, you help with the family potions shop absolutely desperate for a significant other.
I'm sure you'd be able to find a suitable partner, but how will you go about romancing them?
With charm and grace?
Or will you intimidate them with you demonic powers?
Or perhaps a love potion?
Maybe you'll actually get to know them !?

Characters
Name:Zemroth
Age: 24
Sex: Some unknown demon sex. They use they/them pronouns.
Their current form is not their true form. The more emotionally disturbed (whether positively or negatively)
they become the more demonic their appearance becomes.
They aren't that great at holding glamours...
Name:???
Called: "Zaza" by its child.
Zaza is an affection term and is a gender neutral equivalent to "mama" or "dada"/"papa"
Age: ???
Sex:Some unknown demon sex. It uses it/its pronouns.
It's pretty dang cranky. It absolutely hates humans, but tolerates them because Layla makes it.
If it had it its way it'd live in the abyssal plains and destroy all the humans, ever.
It takes care of its child by cooking and cleaning for them, as well as defending them from a certain
necromancer who can not stop OGLING THEM WITH HIS FILTHY HUMAN EYES.
It also tutors magicians in the dark arts on the side to make a lil' extra gold; usually gives it to Zem,
or buys fancy jewelry for itself.
Name: Layla
Called: Ma by her child
Age:Like 40, maybe???? No one can really tell ever since she enchained Zaza to herself.
She's like, kinda immortal now. Lil' bit immortal.
Sex: Female.
She's like your friend's cool mom. Really super neat, but she's not at all a good parent to her actual child.
She tries her best though, but just isn't cut out for it is all.
She spends a lot of her time at Glamkic Academy, she's an instructor on demonology, though is known for very for some of her more seedy activities.
She doesn't have the greatest relationship with Zemroth.
Zem feels like she just isn't really there for them. This, of course, causes Layla a great deal of distress.
❤❤❤The Baes❤❤❤
Name: Ariana
Called: Ari
Age: 20
Sex: Female
She's very small, but very tough. She is really into fashion, especially "dolly" fashion.
She's also really interested in magic, instead of being terrified by it as most non-magical humans are. She goes to the potion shop a lot to watch Zem mix potions.
She looks very stern and serious, but she's actually quite cheerful and very funny.
Name:Jared
Called: Douché
Age: 28
Sex: Male
He's studying necromancy under Zaza. He has a huge not-so-secret crush on Zemroth (everyone is aware of it except Zem themself).
Jared doesn't know how to express his feelings in a healthy way, so he is really mean to Zem. And pines over them in a really unhealthy way. He's sorta idealized Zem, which really isn't cool.
He's very insecure about his feelings, so he tries to cover it up with his harsh attitude.
He likes to hang around graveyards and draw as well.
Name: Carrie
Age: 23
Sex: Female
She's a really neat werewolf. She's super friendly and sociable, and cool with pretty much everyone.
She's a bit of a party animal though, and sometimes that gets her into trouble.
She's not in town when the full moon comes around. Mostly because she really cannot
control her werewolf state.
She has a hard time coming to term with the fact that she is a werewolf, but tries her best not to get too upset over it.
Name:Kennith
Called: The Mummy
Age: 24
Sex: Male
He's an invisible man, it sorta runs in the family.
He doesn't want to be invisible though. He's hoping that Zem could maybe come up
with a potion to make him visible, at least for a lil' while.
He swings buy the shop from time to time, usually to ask Zem about their potions and maybe drop of some flyers for a gig his band is playing.
He's pretty cool, he's in a band called "The Living Dead" and plays the drums.
He's super casual and chill, and prefers low key events. HE a bit introverted, but once you get to know him he's very open.
Name: Kü
Age: ????
Sex: Some unknown demon sex. It uses it/its pronouns.
It's Zaza's best friend. It's also a pretty powerful demon lord in the Abyssal plains.
But it's mostly a figurehead; its younger sibling rules behind the scenes.
It does a lot of political work though, especially public relations.
It's really soft spoken, and shy.
Even though it's very timid and kind, it can be absolutely ruthless when put under great pressure.
It has taken a shine to Zemroth, and often visits them and Zaza, especially when demon politics stresses it out.
Gameplay
It will be like a general Otome Game, with a "love" points system. But I'd also like to put in a potion making system.
I'd want the player to be able to make potions, and then sell them. With that coin they would be able to purchase new potion ingredients, and recipes.
I've decided to make the potion system sort of like a puzzle game, where certain ingredients make the potion a different color, so you have to mix ingredients to get the right color potion! I thought that'd be pretty simple, but also fun.

I'd love feedback!
Unlike my first game, I will actually be putting effort in this game. It won't be just something I put together for practice.
I plan on making this free to download, but donations will be open.
