Riva is a 2.5D story driven potion crafting game in which you will take on the role of Riva, a young potion apprentice, as she discovers the hidden danger of these mysterious ambers everyone in town is replacing their potions with.
Riva
SteamStep into the shoes of Riva, a young and curious potion apprentice living on the edge of an enchanting forest. As she hones her craft in potion-making, she familiarizes herself with the delicate balance of nature and humanity.
Life in the village is peaceful, filled with the joys of foraging ingredients, chatting with quirky townsfolk, and mastering new recipes. But beneath the calm lies a growing mystery: the arrival of strange amber stones that have taken the place of lovingly-handmade potions. They promise wonders beyond imagination, yet a creeping danger lurks behind their golden glow. As the village grows ever dependent on the ambers, Riva must unravel their mystery before they bring irreversible harm to the land she loves.
