About the Game

It's 4:58 and the cauldron is glowing the wrong colour.

Cauldron Chaos is a co-op potion shop for 1 to 4 players. You and your friends are little wooden witch dolls running a shop in a village of misfit toys. Brew what the villagers want, sell it before they lose patience, and keep the shop in one piece. Mostly.

BREW (CAREFULLY)

Drop ingredients in, stir, turn up the heat, bottle it. Every ingredient carries its own elements, and the mix decides the potion: Giant, Tiny, Floaty, Rocket, Frozen, Frog or Sticky. Get it wrong and you get sludge. Get it really wrong and the cauldron explodes, launching everyone across the room.

LEVITATE EVERYTHING

Your magic lifts, carries and flings almost anything, including your friends. Heavy things need teamwork: it takes all four witches to carry the cauldron. Pick your own magic colour at the workbench and watch the colours meet when you lift together.

GROW YOUR OWN

Plant seeds in the garden beside the shop. Some herbs grow by day, others only by moonlight. Harvest them, store them in the pantry, and buy more seeds from the Supply Board.

RUN THE SHOP

Wooden villagers walk in, order at the counter and wait (not forever). Serve the right potion fast for a tip. Serve the wrong one and they'll let you know. Every day rolls a new mood, from sleepy to total chaos, and there's a daily special that pays double.

BUILD IT UP

Spend your coins on extra garden plots, a glass greenhouse for better harvests, and a workbench to craft bottles, fertilizer, seed bundles, lucky charms and decorations.

PLAY TOGETHER

Online co-op through Steam with proximity voice chat: your wooden jaw flaps when you talk. No mic? There's text chat and a babble key.
