Controls:

WASD - Move

E - Interact

Esc - Pause

Left click - buy item

Mouse scroll - navigate toolbar

Goals:

Your goal is to make enough gold to win the game (1000 total gold), however, avoid exceeding the detection timer for too long!

RECIPES - press ESC and view the pause menu. Here you can see all the potion recipes. Some items, like flower vials, need to be created by first dissolving and then separating the substances. Play around to see what you can make! :) 

SHOP - Go to the shop in the bottom left and interact with E. Here you can buy everything you need to make potions

DISSOLVER - Go to the top middle to find the dissolver. If you have an item that is dissolvable, press E and it will pop it into it. Once done, an output will be provided and you can press E to take that into your hotbar.

SEPARATOR - In the top left is the separator. Similarly, you can bring a distilled item here to separate it into usable vials for the crucible. Again you put an item in with the interact button and get one out after a couple seconds.

CRUCIBLE - In the top right you will find the crucible. Here you need to put together 3 ingredients and 1 metal vial (multiplier) in order for it to mix together a potion. Recipes are found in the pause menu or on this page. You can put items in with E or remove them too (on an empty slot) apart from the metal vials. Adding metal vials gives multipliers to the potion so copper gives 1x, silver gives 1.25x and gold gives 1.5x more gold per item sold. 

SELL POINT - In the bottom right you will find the sell point. Interact with E while holding a potion to sell it but you can also sell any rogue ingredients you have for your money back

WINNING - You win the game by having 1000 gold, and being able to flee the castle! This can be done by selling enough potions or.... through a secret strategy ;) If you find it, do let me know!
