Alchemist Shop Simulator

i must first start off by telling you this game is broken and will more than likely glitch on you and ruin your entire save file. read the discussions tab for the game and you will see half a dozen people talking about it on the first page. the game WAS fun if a little slim for content and progression but i assumed since it was a work in progress at the time that it would get the bugs worked out. some patches hit that added resources and balancing in the game, however the last patch appears to have broken the game, oddly the same exact bug hit numerous other projects at the same time such as card shop simulator. it leads me to believe its a problem with engine or pre-built assests. the glitch is simple, customer walks up to your checkout line but wont accept money or items and you cant kick them out or shutdown your shop to force a reset. its an immediate end to your game and save file at that point. now lets talk about the good. its a fun little alchemy shop sim, you buy trinkets and weapons while also collect plants and work orders then make potions to fill your shops inventory for the day and complete work orders for money. its a nice cycle and the game is well optimized for t…

There really are better versions of this type of thing out there, this one does not bring anything particularly unique or fun to the table. It's grindy without being particularly cozy, as cheap as it is I still regret buying it.

Specifically I enjoyed the letter I found in my in game mailbox stating "Once upon a time there lived a goblin. He was happy, but his game had no reviews, so he starved. The end." Therefore I am here placing a review simply for this in game prompt. 10/10 hilarity, no notes.

Gameplay Genre: Shopkeeping Story Genre: N/A (no, I don't count the tutorial as a story) Story/Gameplay Ratio: N/A **Gameplay** Ideas: 7/10 | A pretty standard shopkeeper sim, but I do like the gardening and alchemy aspects. Execution: 7/10 | Passable, but it's not exceptional by any means. **Visuals & Sounds** Ideas: 6/10 | An alright visual style with okay sound design. Execution: 5/10 | Kind of repetitive audio, and rather nondescript visuals. Cohesiveness: 10/10 | No surprises. Personal Favor: 6/10 | I liked it, but it's not exactly a favorite. **OVERALL RATING:** 6/10

It's a very fun game. However be aware that it can be a little bit buggy when it comes to clicking. Sometimes the game randomly decides to start double clicking when you don't want it to so you may end up screwing up your potions or give too much change.

didn't really do much alchemy, mostly sold teeth and skulls. I think alchemy should be the main feature of a game called "alchemist shop simulator". You can only brew one potion at a time and it takes a while of focused labor. Not hard, just requires your attention. You mostly just run a shop were you are essentially buying cheap and selling high. I know it's just a game, but you get all your supplies across the street from your shop. Why aren't the townsfolk just buying from them? It isn't a bad game, just doesn't really feel like an alchemist shop. Honestly could just rename the game to magical shop simulator and it would be a better fit for what you actually end up doing in the game.
