✦DEVELOPMENT PROCESS✦

Potion Society has been in the works since March 2025—and we’ve come a long way! We’ve gone through many iterations to arrive at what you see here! Check out at our Artbook Zine for more tidbits on how we’ve put together our little potion project!

✦KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN✦

This game is made possible by the incredible backers of our Kickstarter campaign! We launched our campaign on October 10th of last year for PAX Aus 2024, and we are proud to announce we have successfully funded, produced, and fulfilled our goals and rewards since! See our journey in making it happen here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/themurmurmingmystic/potion-society/posts—including how we were fully funded in 8 days, unlocked two of our stretch goals, and some challenges we faced along the way!

✦UPCOMING EVENTS✦
