Pixel Parlor Lore Entry

Legend says the Glitchberry Elixir was created when a wandering alchemist spilled a basket of enchanted berries onto an unstable game cartridge. Instead of deleting the save file, the magic fused to create a potion that bends the rules without fully breaking them. Drinkers report heightened reflexes, sharper perception, and the sudden urge to say, “Okay, one more level.”

This potion shimmers with shifting hues of neon purple and electric blue, as if it’s struggling to render properly. Tiny pixel-like flecks float inside the glass, glitching in and out of existence.

Achievement Unlocked!
