Vials & Tails

After losing a battle with the Wicked Witch of the West, Dorothy is turned into a rat and was left with no choice than to work under her! But that's not where her story ends, as she's still determined to return home. But she can't get caught, so she continues to work until she gets the opportunity. In time, she's learned how to become an adept potion brewer, with these skills she's able to survive any of the Wicked Witch's punishments. That is, if she can keep it up...

Currently in the ALPHA release, Vials & Tails features five vengeful customers (try to identify them all!), core potion-drawing mechanics, and daily power-ups to test your brewing skills. This is just the beginning of our twisted tale...

✦ A STIRRING TALE OF TAILS! What happens when fairytales go wrong and revenge goes right? After a magical mishap turns our hero into a rat, they find themselves brewing potions for characters who didn't get their happily-ever-afters. Sometimes the best revenge is served in a carefully drawn potion!

✦ DRAW-TASTIC POTION MAKING! Who needs a magic wand when you've got a mouse? Draw devious designs and sinister shapes to brew up all sorts of vengeful concoctions. Just remember: the difference between sweet revenge and total disaster is just one wobbly line!

✦ NOT-SO-HAPPY ENDINGS! Serve a twisted cast of familiar faces! Help Merida, forever haunted by her bear-sized mistakes; assist Rapunzel, tangled in years of isolation; aid Alice, trapped in her endless Wonderland nightmare; and mix potions for Pinocchio, whose strings turned into chains. These customers aren't looking for happily-ever-afters, they're looking for payback!

✦ RISKY REWARDS! After each day of brewing, choose your path to power! Will you pick the Pied Poison for score multipliers? Dare to handle more customers for bigger rewards? Or perhaps master the recipe for Oven Baked Twins? But beware - more power means more chaos in the workshop!

✦ DAILY DOSE OF VENGEANCE! Each new day brings darker demands and tougher choices to your workshop door. Balance your growing powers with the increasing challenge - every multiplier makes the game harder, but the rewards are oh so tempting!

✦ CLIMB THE SCOREBOARD BEANSTALK! Stack those multipliers, tackle extra customers, and become the most infamous undercover-rat-potion-brewer in all of fairytale land! Just don't let the power go to your tiny head - revenge is a dangerous game, even for a rat!

Will you help these twisted fairytale characters get their revenge? Or will you end up as another cautionary tale? Only your drawing skills (and quick whiskers) will tell!

✦ MORE TWISTED TALES! Keep your whiskers twitching! More fairytale characters with dark endings will be seeking your potion-brewing expertise. Who else will come knocking at your workshop door seeking sweet revenge?

✦ A WORLD OF WOES! Journey beyond the witch's workshop! Explore different magical regions, each with their own twisted stories to tell and vengeful customers to serve. From enchanted forests to cursed castles, every area holds new secrets and recipes to discover!

✦ MAGICAL MAKEOVER! We're brewing up a visual enhancement potion! Every corner of the workshop will be getting a fresh coat of paint, making your potion-crafting adventures even more enchanting. New animations, improved effects, and enhanced character designs are all in the cauldron!

Stay tuned for these future updates! 🐀✨
