Lilrien’s Secret Potions

Lilrien inherits an alchemy shop from a relative who didn’t stick around to explain the recipes, and finds herself running it in a world where most problems boil down to physical need. The villagers show up with requests, she brews what they want, and the job doubles as a way into their lives.

The loop is shop management dressed up as social work: take on requests, mix potions, and spend time with the people and creatures who wander in, building up the relationships that unlock more of what they’re willing to show or ask for. Outside the counter, there’s a wider world to poke around in, full of magic, odd creatures, and the kind of secrets an alchemy shop tends to attract. NPCs remember you enough to follow you around and change outfits on request, which is a strange amount of care for a game about potions.
