I believe there is a bug with the sign next to the potion pit, as there doesn't seem to be any listed ingredients or ingredient effects whatsoever. Luckily, I didn't need to guess the potion for most of the customers, as your introduction of ingredients along with the requested potions made their intended effects clear enough. However, when I got to the potion licensing customer, I was unable to move forward as I have no idea how to achieve the desired effects. If that single bug hadn't been present, the game would be perfectly fine.

The ominous tones of some of the customers was really quite interesting, and it made me feel like the game could really go somewhere! And besides the spelling mistakes and a little cringe, your dialogue is fine too. Hopefully your next game comes out smooth! Good luck.

Edit: I also have to say that starting in full screen made me almost quit out of the game. I hate games that start in full screen. The lack of a way to get out of fullscreen was also not my style. It's somewhat just a personal preference, but it really diminished the opening ambiance for the game...

in order for ingredient effects to show up in the book, you have to drink a potion containing that ingredient, I believe the 2nd npc tells you this

Just went back and checked. The poor woman asks for some poison to get rid of her competitor, but she doesn't mention anything about being able to drink potions. The controls at the beginning don't mention it either. Just looked again and it's there, I must have missed it. Even if it does mention drinking potions, it doesn't tell you that drinking them will reveal their effects. After testing, I see that you have to press space while holding a filled potion to drink it. I feel like it would be best if the ingredients reveal themselves to the player after using them in a potion, rather than drinking them. Since the NPCs don't tell you what drinking a potion does (I went through several days of NPCs just to make sure, none of them mention it) it makes that mechanic look like a bug.

Don't get discouraged by that though, if you end up fixing this after the voting period is over that'd be cool.
