Get your cauldron ready, because things are about to get dark! In Drops of Evil, you aren't just a magic student, but an ambitious witch striving to brew the most lethal poison in the entire forest. The goal is simple: whoever crafts the deadliest draught wins. To achieve this, you'll need to send your Familiars out into the woods to scavenge for rare and bizarre ingredients. But the work doesn't stop there! Once you've gathered your supplies, the real magic happens at your Alchilab, a powerful alchemical device. Success lies in your strategy: you must place ingredients thoughtfully on the grid to boost toxicity and unlock game-changing bonuses. If you need an edge, you can recruit some shady Assistants to help out or follow grim recipes that promise devastating results. It's a game that blends the tension of a horror theme with the satisfaction of a positioning puzzle. Can you master the art of wicked alchemy, or will you become the next victim of your own mistake?
