Brew Potions to save Moonbury from a Pandemic in Potion Permit!

September 18, 2020 By pqube

Announced for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on Steam!

Today, PQube and developer MassHive Media are excited to announce Potion Permit for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on Steam!

When a devastating illness hits the village of Moonbury, the Medical Association decides to send their most potent chemist: you! Diagnose symptoms, gather ingredients, brew potions, and cure ailments in this open-ended sim RPG, available next year!

Have a look at the Announcement Trailer we brewed up:

The town of Moonbury has always been wary of the advances of the outside world, preferring to rely on their traditional methods of healing. Until one day, when the Mayor’s daughter falls ill and the local Witch Doctor can do nothing to help her, they are forced to look outside their small community for help.

The Medical Association decides to send their most accomplished Chemist – you – to help cure the Mayor’s daughter, but also to convince the residents of Moonbury of the wonders of modern Alchemy!

This is how Potion Permit plays:

🤒 1. Receive Requests from Residents. 🤒

The inhabitants of Moonbury will occasionally fall ill and call for you aid. Keep the town’s infrastructure in tact by curing them in a timely manner, so they can get back to their everyday lives!

🥼 2. Diagnose Symptoms to decide which Cure to craft. 🥼

Hmm… a low heart rate and bloated liver. Dander Sneezer, perhaps? No, these are sure signs of Sticky Sweat. This patient has been consuming too much gelatin! Easily remedied, you’ll just need to craft some Jelly Remover.

🌿 3. Collect the right Ingredients… 🌿

… by gathering them.

Search for the required ingredients in the surrounding environment – but watch out for changing weather conditions: Some areas are known to experience dense fog, droughts or even strong blizzards!

… by hunting Monsters.

Sometimes you will need to turn your trusty tools into weapons and collect them from monsters prowling the nearby wilderness. Combat in real-time and various concoctions to buff yourself or inflict status ailments on your adversaries!

⚗️ 4. Brew Remedies in your Cauldron. ⚗️

The ingredients you gather can be mixed in your cauldron to brew medicine, vitamins and more. As you become more experienced, higher-level recipes will become available, requiring more ingredients and bestowing stronger effects.

🏘️ 5. Build Relationships and… 💜

… find Romance.

It’ll take a little while, but your patients will be much better thanks to your efforts and open up to you a little more. You may even find yourself growing particularly close to certain bachelors or bachelorettes, regardless of your own gender.

… Upgrade the Town.

As your approval with the townsfolk grows, you’ll be able to upgrade public buildings and expand the explorable areas around town. You may even be able to design your own home!

Potion Permit is coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on Steam next year!

#SettleTheStore with Supermarket Shriek’s Multiplayer

September 8, 2020 By pqube

Coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PC on Steam later this year!

What would a physics-based game be without hilarous multiplayer? We won’t find out just yet, as PQube and developer Billy Goat Entertainment share details on the Co-Op and Player-vs-Player modes of Supermarket Shriek!

With the option to literally scream your way to victory with microphone support on PlayStation 4 and PC, get ready to #SettleTheStore with the most outrageous kart action of the year!

Supermarket Shriek will roll out later this year for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PC on Steam – and here is the most recent trailer: https://youtu.be/6q6xtayMQvk

Co-Op

In Supermarket Shriek you can take on the 38-stage story mode solo or with a friend via local multiplayer! One player controls the screams of the man, the other the screams of the goat. You’ll need to work together to guide our heroes to the checkout, avoiding the swinging axes, numerous insane obstacles and pesky DEADLY FIRE PITS along the way.

Control the screams using your controller, or if you’re on PS4 or PC, why not connect two headsets or Sing Star mics and *literally* shriek your way to victory? (obviously that’s a rhetorical question…).

Completing one story mode stage as a co-op partnership unlocks the 3 chaotic PvP party games for between 1 & 4 players (or up to 8 players on Steam!).

📝 1. “Shopping List” 📝

A mode that will have Rylan Clark-Neal‘s heart all a-flutter. Just like Supermarket Sweep, “Shopping List” sees each player racing round the aisles of a supermarket to be the first to collect each of the specified items. Unlike Supermarket Sweep, they’ll also need to contend with moving platforms, circular saws and a pretty significant spillage in aisle 4…

🏁 2. “Race” 🏁

Race your opponents and score points by pulling away into an unassailable lead! Sounds simple, right? But Supermarket Shriek‘s unique brand of (shopping) kart racing means anything is possible in this manic and unpredictable race.

🛒 3. “Sumo” 🛒

On the one hand, there’s the traditional sport of Sumo. A noble form of wrestling that preserves many ancient traditions and ritual elements.
On the other hand, there’s Sumo mode in Supermarket Shriek. A no-holds-barred clash of man, goat and shopping trolley on a raised platform adorned with circular saws and disappearing floors.

Supermarket Shriek will be available later this year for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PC on Steam!
