The Cat Knocked Over the Potion Again! Launches on

The Cat Knocked Over the Potions Again! is now available on Steam for 24 yuan, with a 10% launch discount lasting two weeks from August 24. A gentle sorting puzzle game, it puts players in the role of an apprentice organizing more than 2000 magical potions after a mischievous cat knocks them over while the wizard is away.

After spending 200 hours completing a JRPG collection, I found myself drawn to this quieter kind of game. There is no conventional combat or countdown pressure. Instead, it turns the aftermath of a magical mishap into the entire game. The immediate task is simply to understand how the shelves fit together.

The core challenge comes through independent shelf puzzles built around clues, mysterious symbols, coded notes, placement logic, and special items. Across 25+ sorting and puzzle stages, players are not simply returning bottles to their original positions. They must study the relationships between potions and work through each arrangement step by step. For players who enjoy collecting every entry in a catalog or tidying miniature spaces, the process resembles uncovering a hidden mechanism in a Japanese adventure game.

Trial and error can still interrupt that relaxed pace when a puzzle stalls. The game addresses the problem with a magical cat that provides hints when petted. It can help locate missing potions, mark important clues, or reveal part of a solution. The result is a hint system that feels integrated into the game rather than detached in a menu.

There is no time limit or pressure, so the overall pace is especially well suited to playing before bed. Controller support, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, and accessibility options including a colorblind mode are also included.

At 24 yuan, the game is an easy recommendation for players who enjoy light puzzles, potion collecting, and fairy-tale Japanese-inspired art, especially with the 10% launch discount in effect. Anyone looking for intense combat, a complex story, or long-term character progression should adjust their expectations. This is a focused, low-pressure collection of shelf puzzles, and it knows exactly what it wants to be.
