[b]Hidden gem - STRONG RECOMMENDATION[/b] Personally I don't like management games much. Or potionmakers (pet peeve about witches, especially 'cute' ones) But this game is something different, and I really loved ! [b]The short: Play with lots of freedom in choosing from a huge range of plain-to-extraordinary ingredients and tools, to make lots of potions in the old potion-makers shop in the village, to save your old granny from dying. Explosions will happen! Disgusting and weird potions will also happen!! [/b] Pleasant and unstressed. Can be played in short stretches or longer. Replayability. No bugs or glitches, works fine on even simple gear and mouse. Three levels of difficulty - I tried easy and normal. Both were very calm and pleasant experiences, no time pressure, all potions can be redone if not working out. And your shop will stay standing even after explosions ;-) And there's an endless mode too :-) Looks sort of like a shop management game, but is really more of a quest solving puzzly sort of game with quite a bit of underlying story. But all action happening in-store. Choices matter a bit, in the here and now, though less I think for the overarching story as such…

This is a seriously fun little game. The game is majorly cozy core with its soothing music and cute potion shop setting. On top of that, any game that lets you add ingredients like broken glass and cigarette ashes to potions has got to be great, right? My only complaint really is how fast I beat the game. It took all of two hours on one save. I would have liked for it to be a bit longer. 4 out of 5 stars.

Very cute, sweet and cozy. Has a lot of charm and humour. You can tell love went into making it.

I like it! Very sweet art style :)

Similar to Strange Horticulture , unfortunately much simple and without cat .

More people should know about this game!! It's cozy and chill with nice music and satisfying crafting mechanics. I played the game in casual mode and finished the story in 3 hours. There is still endless mode after that but I missed having customers visit me in the store (it happens but not nearly as often.) It's nice seeing how your customers react to your potions. There are also some dialogue choices which is a nice touch and feels more interactive.
