Description: Elixir is seeking an experienced lead sorceress . . . ‘s apprentice. You’ll join our team located somewhere in the nether world to feed, wash, and document mysterious creatures (applicants inexperienced with dragon vomit need not apply). The apprentice will also maintain various delicate contraptions while experimenting in an unstable alchemy lab. Constant praise of the sorceress’s brilliance is expected.

Review: While it has to be said ‘Elixir’ is way too short for its own good while it is going it is a lot of fun, especially when you play the experience with hand tracking rather than the controllers. You play the role of a witches apprentice and have to perform various spells in the form of hand-motions. It looks good and is oddly immersive. But it won’t last you much more than 30 mins tops and that is if you mess about a lot and some people will argue it is hardly worth the download. I am not one of those people, but yes I do wish it had more content, but it is free and I say it’s well worth a look.
