Sore muscles, upset tummies – the citizens of Moonbury could use your help. As Potion Permit’s crafty chemist, you’ll harvest plants, mine ore and collect animal parts (which may involve fighting a bear or two), then whip up elixirs to treat sick townsfolk. Make Moonbury healthy, one potion at a time!

What we love: Winning over the locals! They don’t care much for chemists – one of your kind nearly destroyed the place years ago – but as you diagnose illnesses and develop cures, you’ll slowly gain their trust. Some will become good friends... and a few might even be open to romance.

Quick tip: Sap takes up just one block on the potion-brewing grid, which proves super-handy when you’ve got a single space to fill in a recipe. Always use other ingredients first, and drop in sap only as a last resort.

Meet the creator: Indonesia’s MassHive Media was formed in 2014 by a brother-sister duo. They made Potion Permit’s main hero a doctor as a love letter to real-world physicians.
