Dark Cauldron
Note: Godot 4.0 seems to have performance issues in web. This game works best on Chrome, and works/looks much better when downloaded and run as a .exe.
Dark Cauldron is a game where you prepare potions for your customers while trying to finish tasks for your scheming guild.
Controls:
- WASD to move,
- Right click or middle mouse button to rotate camera
- E to grab items or take fluids from a container you hover over with the mouse into a container you're holding
- Q to drop items or to put fluids into a container you hover over with the mouse from a container you are holding
- Left mouse button can be used to advance dialogue from the NPCS by clicking on the
Making potions:
Grab a cauldron from the box of cauldrons by pressing E.
Hover over a black cauldron to see a list of recipes!
Press E on the golden cauldrons to draw fluids from them into your cauldron.
Selling potions:
Get an appropriate container, like a bottle, from a box using E.
Put liquids in the bottle by drawing from another while holding it (Q).
Put the bottle in front of a customer on the counter by hovering over the counter and pressing Q.
Customers will ask for specific containers!
Your potions should be OK to sell if a potion makes up at least 80% of the total volume.
Known issues:
- The game takes a very long time to load, and performs poorly in the browser. Apparently this is a problem with Godot web exports in version 4.0 I was not aware of. It works best on Chrome. Firefox is very slow.
- You can get stuck inside items
- You can generally pick things up and drop them back down
- Fluid containers can have negative amounts of fluid
- Happens when you transfer mixes of fluids
- Sometimes (or always) generating a new day does not work. You'll have to refresh the page. :(

I was unable to finish loading the game and got stuck on the itch progress bar.
Hi! Thanks for the feedback. It turns out Godot has a hard time with web exports in version 4.0.
I have made some changes to make loading faster, but it seems it is still very slow on Firefox at least. Chrome works best.
