Alchemania!

Alas, the grand alchemist has fallen ill and left you, his apprentice, in charge of operating the shop. Worry not! Use your master's notes and your physical copy of "Ye Olde Booke of Magick" to follow along the recipes and brew the potions. But beware — potion making is a dangerous and elusive art; pay close attention to the instructions, or else...

Playable by 1 highly-motivated player, or better, 2–3 players with one interacting while the rest help read the book.

Gameplay

When you start the game you'll find a note summarizing what essence or elixirs you need to create for your potions. 
Use the complementary Ye Olde Booke of Magick (there's a link to a pdf below) to figure out what ingredients are needed for each essence, how to identify them in your pantry, as well as precisely how to use them!
Read carefully, though, because the instructions are cryptic and a single mistake could mean failure.

Controls

Move using the mouse, grab/use items with left mouse button and return items using right mouse button.
