Which Potion?
Short, silly VN in which magic student Airi is given a test by her forgetful magic teacher to pick the potion bottle that will get her over the gorge.
The game has 4 zany endings and was originally made for Mini Jam # 8 (Theme: Magic; Special item: Bottle) and miraculously "finished" in 1.5 days. However, I worried the plot was silly and it really needed some polishing. So I decided that instead of submitting it to Mini Jam, I would polish it up and submit it to NanoReNo in place of the barely started game I had been working on first. I feel like I could have done a better plot, but this is what I got.

I really enjoyed this game:))
It's humorous and super short.
The music after the main menu track is kind of annoying, though...
Thanks! I had always been a little embarrassed about this game and shoved it to the end of my published games list. Glad to know you enjoyed it. (My personal favorite was the red potion ending.)
I recently published another short VN for the 3 hour jam that inexplicably seems to have been pretty well liked (perhaps that's even how you found this one). Any if you liked this one, you might like it too.
