The player controls a character that is able to run around, pick up items, and craft and sell potions. The player can put collected ingredients onto their workbench in their Base to craft a new potion which can then be sold at the Market to gain gold depending on how close the potion matches the current day’s market. The player can use their gold to purchase upgrades for their Base, such as more crafting spots to make brand new potions! While collecting ingredients or moving between the Base and Market, the player must enter the Danger Zone, where monsters attack the player. The player can disconnect their Shadow for a short duration, in which it can be used to attack enemies while the player character runs to their destination. There is also a day night cycle, where each new Day comes with a new market demand and each Night causes the ingredients dropped by crates to be randomized.

Crafting The player can mix and match their ingredients to discover new potions. New recipes will be put into their ‘recipe book’ for future use. Ingredients Each ingredient serves a different purpose and is obtained at different times. Players must learn how each ingredient affects their potions. Market The market’s ever changing demand encourages the player to think quickly and plan what ingredients to keep for the upcoming days. Shadow The shadow serves as the only way for the player to defend themselves, thus encouraging strategic play and smart usage of potions Combat While enemies may be simple, they serve as a constant opposing force to keep the player alert while collecting ingredients or moving zones Randomness Market demand and crate drops are changing every Day and Night respectively, this ensures gameplay doesn’t get too stale and players must learn to adapt to new situations.
