Description

Formula and Flask is a first-person potion factory prototype developed in Unreal Engine 5. Players experiment with ingredient combinations to create potions of varying quality, which can then be sold to earn money and unlock new production opportunities. As the game progresses, manual potion creation can be expanded into a semi-automated production line through the placement of cauldrons and production entities, shifting gameplay from experimentation to optimisation and efficiency.
