Our take on HIIS
The defining activity is an experimental potion cycle: gather unusual plants, cultivate them, brew from their products, test the results, and record what each mixture does.
What is HIIS?
Play as a sage on an isolated island filled with mystical vegetation and hidden secrets.
Explore the wilderness, bring wild plants into cultivation, and customize a home and garden. More than 30 plants provide ingredients with distinct properties and reactions. Farm their products, brew 40+ potions, and test each one to discover its effects. Record findings in a handbook as experiments progress. Potions can support exploration or address the problems of the island’s inhabitants. Quests involve listening to people, testing possible remedies, and finding suitable brews for dozens of characters.
