PQube is bringing the unique adventure RPG Potion Permit to Nintendo Switch soon, we can announce.
The game is focused on the creation of various potions which solve the illnesses of your fellow townspeople. You'll need to first diagnose an ailment before venturing out into the wilds to collect the ingredients required to create it, before administering it to your patient.
Alongside this, you'll also be able to explore the town, make friendships with other residents and gently guide those in charge as they attempt to expand the town and better serve its people.
Here's the PR:
Potion Permit takes you on a journey to Moonbury, a remote and peaceful town that is isolated from modern advances.
The town of Moonbury has always been wary of the advances of the outside world, preferring to rely on their traditional methods of healing. Until one day, when the Mayor’s daughter falls ill and the local Witch Doctor can do nothing to help her, they are forced to look outside their small community for help.
The Medical Association decides to send their most accomplished Chemist – you – to help cure the Mayor’s daughter, but also to convince the residents of Moonbury of the wonders of modern alchemy.
Gather ingredients with your hammer, axe, and sickle. Once you’ve decided on a potion, ointment, or salve, you must gather the required ingredients from the surrounding environment. Sometimes you won’t be able to gather the materials you need as easily as harvesting a berry bush, and you’ll need to turn your trusty tools into weapons to collect materials from the monsters prowling the nearby wilderness. Combat is in real-time and, since you’re a Chemist, you’ll be able to brew various concoctions to buff yourself or inflict status ailments on your adversaries as well as various tools to aid you.
In the downtime between treating the community’s ailments, you’ll be able to freely explore in and around Moonbury. Get to know the inhabitants a little better, take a rest in the tavern with some dice games, or go fishing to catch something for dinner. Moonbury is a delightfully charming location where time seems a little slower and life is just a little more relaxed than the big city. While the lighting will change throughout the day, with the bright sun streaking across the meadows in the morning and street lamps illuminating the town in the early evening, there are no time limits for game objectives. Players are free to go at their own pace.
Potion Permit is coming to consoles and PC soon.

Looks interesting, seems like it's a rather chill game.
This was one of the stand-outs for me.
Dam that art style looks really interesting.
@thehoppypoppy Yeah, stood out for me too. Absolutely delightful vibe
You cannot handle my potions, traveller. They are too strong for you.
Stand out for me too. There were a few resource gathering, farm, management games and this one had the best hook for me. I just like the goal of healing people of ailments as the motivation for adventure.
Also, the analysis/puzzle aspect for the medicine seems promising, too. While Dr. Mario might have been an inspiration, it seems much more interesting than that and it is an additional game mechanic that other games like this likely won't have.
Interesting to see...need more trailers to see who game play is.
Art style remind me of Moonlighter !
Gives me some Atelier vibes, without the time limits and “moeness” that the more recent games have had. Bit like the Iris trilogy. Interested in this.
