Witch You Want
✨ URGENTLY HIRING!! ✨
in need of assistant!!!
With a rather sparkly magical paper, you look over the job listing for a local witch needing an assistant with making potions before the town festival that weekend. Something so short notice would surely be hard for her to find workers, and you just happen to be inbetween jobs—so you sign up, unsure exactly what to expect......
A pompous and questionably excellent witch runs a local apothecary in town but finds that if she wants to make enough potions before the festival that weekend to sell (and keep her ongoing potion shop afloat) she'll need some assistance. After a dubious help wanted ad, she gains you as an assistant. Will the two of you see through to the festival? Will you be able to make a single potion? Will this girlfailure capture your heart?!

i hope this is something developed further!
this makes us want to see more of Mirabelle and the setting/lore, in any case, it's super cute, i had fun with the potions recipes and i'm surprised how quickly you warm up to this world, keep the good work~
This game is super cute & Mirablle is such a fun character to work for. I'd love to see this expanded on more but if not, it's still an adorable little 20 or so-minute experience.
It's perfect to read while you're drinking a nice tea.
SUPER ADORABLEEE<33 thank u sososooo much for the team behind this! It was a perfect cozy game to play through during the spooky season with a cup of tea<3 ..
Literally made me feel so relaxed,, The potion brewing was such a fun little mini game and i adored the customization options,, so magical girly !! Music is also really relaxing :D
Mirabelle is an absolute sweetiepie,, I loveee lesbian witchy media .. she made me feel so blushy and I wanna give her kisses everyday!! ^-^
THIS IS SO CUTE. NEW HYPERFIXATION!!1!11!
FR!! IT WAS ADORBS :D
THIS WAS SO STINKING CUTE OH MY GOSH I LOVED IT SO MUCH HGUHFGDSGDS!! I WAS SO SCARED OF GETTING THE POTION RECIEPES WRONG BUT OH MY GOSH THIS GAME WAS GENUINELY AMAZING! :3
I'M NOT SURE IF YOU PLAN ON ADDING MORE TO IT OR SOMETHING BUT GENUINELY THIS IS AN AWESOME GAME!!
lavender just finished that, oh my god im gonna cry TwT
my lesbian heart was not prepared for this TwT
maybe because its a witch game made in renpy about potions, but this feels like the lesbian equivilant of "starry flowers", and oh my god this games adorable
the first and last potions were... vauge to say the least lols, i was so scared of messing up the potions so i prepared to savescum my way thru {but didnt need to :3}
this was so adorable!! I did my best to make the potions perfect, and it seems it worked in my favour haha
so cute
this game made me kick my feet gigging the whole time aaaaaaaa i hope our regulars invite us to the wedding
so cute!
MY DISAPOINTMENT AT THE END OF THE GAME THATS IT! I WANT TO KNOW DO WE EVER GET INVITED TO SARAS AND LILIANS WEDDING DO WE EVER MAKEOUT IN THE GAME DO WE GET MORE FETURE DOE HE HAVE A HOT BROTHER????I WANT TO KNOW
Same sis.
so cute !!!
This was so cute! There was really only one potion that gave me trouble (because I was being silly), but it was pretty easy to deduce the ingredients! The good ending had me practically kicking my feet. I'm so happy for Sara and Lilian and Mirabelle and the player character. Thanks for making this!
so so so cute!!! the character creation was such a pleasant surprise and the visuals are adorable across the board!!!! loved this whole game, such a cozy and sweet concept!!!
Mirabelle is really cute! I gave my best efforts to brew the right potions and get the good ending, and then when I did another play through and intentionally ruined all of them I felt awful for letting her (and Sara and Lilian) down. Serves me right, I guess.
Also, I was surprised that there was character creation! That's a non-trivial bit of extra effort the devs didn't need to do to for this story to work, so good on them for going the extra mile! It would be nice to see this game fleshed out into a full length experience some day!
This is such a cute but short game. It does have multiple endings though!
Finnaly is not nsfw
Huh?
the pfp creator:💀
Nice idea, but will there be an update to enable playing as a transmasc character, to properly represent people who previously identified as lesbians but then went on to transition? I found it a bit disappointing to see that go unrepresented, especially considering that due to how our patriarchial society is structured, many straight transmascs do start out identifying as lesbians.
?????
If you are transmasc and like women, you aren't a lesbian. You are straight. Calling yourself lesbian as a transmasc is literally transphobic lol...
That's a very narrow and honestly quite bigoted view to have. Anyone can use whatever label feels most comfortable for them, and that includes transmascs who have previously lived years under the label of lesbian. Who are you to tell other people what label they are allowed to use, what they feel most comfortable with? I recommend reading up on gender theory, maybe that would broaden your horizons. I wish you a nice day and hope you can let go of the hate in your heart </3
Studio Elan is known for making yuri games.. Men are not lesbians. Female/Male is not yuri. Go play straight games, there are so many more of those than the little lesbian rep we get. Stop trying to insert yourself as something you are not, it is okay to be straight. <3
LESBIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!
its disappointing that you can’t play as a male I ran into this game by chance, expecting a fun little adventure. then I see the character creator and realize I can’t even play as myself.
in the games defense it does say "help this gay girlfailure witch brew potions" in the description 😭
so cute and sweet!
Why is every single romance game on itch gay lol
look at the front page of itch lmao you will find the non gay games plenty
Oh my goodness this game is so cute!! <3
Good game but I have to say, her hat is just balancing on her hair right? If she leans too far that thing is gone.
Cuuute
This is so cute! I love the character artwork (Mirabelle's design is precious aaa), and the character customisation + potion-making minigame were both a lot of fun. It was a short, sweet story, but it was very enjoyable. Tysm!
cute, fun short play. mirabelle <33
thanks for all your hard work making this!
Wow, this game is so cute and dreamy! I would really love to localize it into Italian (for free). Would you be interested?
I'm still blushing! (๑˘︶˘๑)
Ok, WHY DID I LIKE THIS GAME SO MUCH? The characters have very nice personalities and it doesn't feel forced, I thought someone like Mirabelle would be too over the top but I loved her. I just wanted to try the game and ended up beating the whole game because I was so intrigued and caught up in the story. 10/10 I loved it.
adorable 10/10
so question of the day: is there actually a way to create that last potion correctly or is it wrong no matter what you put?
Hey, I'm the writer for the game! I can confirm that it's definitely possible to make the last potion correctly.
Keep in mind that plants aren't the only things that come from the ground. 😄
Thanks man the hint helped me figure it out 💪💪💪
This was fun! I did well with the potions until the very last one. I know it was a rose petal and a dandelion, but what is the something from the ground? I put lavender but it apparently wasn't right.
I'd prefer not to give out the solution outright in the comments, but as a hint, the ingredient you're missing isn't a plant. 😃
Yay, I figured it out.
it was a lovely experience! Mirabelle is extremely adorable and i love her design 😭 💜
I love you Mirabelle, the best girlfailure I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. If only all jobs came with the security of
potentially gaining a girlfriend.I loved, loved, loved the character customization and minigame aspect of actually figuring out the potions. I felt so smart when getting the first few right and then absolutely failing the last one LOL It's absolutely what I deserve for thinking too highly of my potionmaking skills smh
The UI and art direction is so pretty and sparkly, and extra points to giving Mirabelle fangs AND pointy ears? Absolute banger design. She knows where it's at.
Thank you for making this game, it was an absolute blast to play!
A sweet story. I don't know if it can be used to build a longer novel with a deeper story.
I really like the style of the backgrounds.
a very adorable game! mirabelle was an endearing little girlfailure.. and i really enjoyed the art, potion making, & character customization. thank you for this short but nice experience :3
A short but sweet game that left me wanting more! The potion making elements were really fun.
If only life will give me a cute girlfailure of a boss >_< This is a nice short story :D
