The concept is great, having the ability to brew potions in any direction is fun.

Review is based on mid game completion -
Seeing how its alpha, there are a few balance issues:
Anything other than the 4-5 basic herbs, seems like a waste of effort, and are only nice for "random exploration/experimentation".
Herbs being so costly, hurt experimentation, so you end up just save/reloading if something doesn't work out. Eventually I just went to the wiki because margins felt so thin even for Tier 3 potions.

Hopefully ALL herbs will be more plentiful/cheaper, and experimentation might get rewarded (maybe instead of just xp on map, have an unlock placed randomly where you have to brew to it.)
