Duckmist

Brew to survive. If the monster starves, you die. It’s a race against the hunger.

🌟 The Vibe: Welcome to the Emergency Room

Welcome to the darkest little apothecary in the realm! You are Pato, the newest (and likely short-lived) apprentice to Master Alchemist Argos. Your job is simple: BREW TO SURVIVE.
You are sharing the basement with a monstrous, hungry roommate: the Shadow Maw Beast. This creature needs constant, expensive potions to keep its hunger at bay. There is no money, no shop, and no profit. There is only the time you have left before the beast consumes everything.

🕹️ Gameplay: The Frenzy of Survival

Duckmist is a frantic Rhythm-Survival and Precision Minigame experience. Your only goal is to extend the timer by successfully brewing the monster's meal.

• The Deadly Timer:
  • The Shadow Maw Beast is hungry, and its Hunger Bar is constantly dropping.
  • Fail to deliver the potion in time, and it’s Game Over. The beast is a guaranteed deadline.
• Alchemy is Your Only Defense:
  • You must quickly craft the Stabilization Potion using the Lying Frog Tongue and the Four-Eyed Clover Leaf—the most complex (and crucial) ingredients.
  • The process is a sequence of Precision Minigames: CHOP the plants with perfect timing, STIR the cauldron to a flawless shimmer, and BOTTLE your concoctions under extreme pressure.
• Pressure, Not Profit:
  • Every second counts. The quicker and more accurately you perform the minigames, the faster the potion is ready, and the more precious time you earn back on the Beast's clock.
  • Forget about customers, gold, or inventory management. Your only resource is time.
