This is a super unique game that works as both a store management sim and a dating sim. While it can be difficult to efficiently generate profit and the highest quality potions without external tools and/or lots of notetaking, there are many positives that make the game super fun (and relatively simple) to 100%. Positives Story & VA: If there's one thing this game does better than anything on the market, its writing. Every character has their own unique and fun story, with awesome references and fun little events, and the voice acting for each character is incredible. Each chance you have to pull yourself out of the game and just learn more about each character and why they act the way they do is just so fun. The story alone makes this game worth it. Variety of Strategies: Success in this game could be anything if you can figure out a way to make it work. You can set up a strong deck and haggle your way up, you can rush to the next tier of potions and never haggle in your life. You can use advertising or enhancements or bonuses from shelves or ageing to squeeze all the value you can out of your potions. Negatives Too Complex: While the story can be relaxing and enjoyed in small parts, it feels like to succeed in potion making to the best of your abilities you need to run a C++ algorithm in time O(n^3*m) or have 400 pages of notes. With no ability to create potions again with the same ingredients, it feels like you need to spend forever noting what potions are the best you can and/or using some program to optimize what you can make. Without some kind of way to track potions, progress feels exponentially slower and it feels much harder to keep track of different things in the game. My own experience: I barely got through week 2 before setting up the potionomics ingredient optimizer to just organize what I could make. While it took some of the creativity and experimentation out of the game, it made the game feel more casual and fit better with the story. Balancing: I feel like the devs were so creative and added so many features but struggled to keep everything balanced in the end. Infinite decks are too overpowered, some shops are too expensive for little reward, sending heroes on missions is so expensive for the same gain that some money can get you from Babtiste. If you are willing and able to overlook some balancing/overcomplication, or really enjoy an in-depth potionmaking system that rewards experimentation and the creation of so so so many potions, this game has an unbelievably good story and was clearly developed with so much heart and care. Would recommend.

They fixed it. Its good now. either real easy casual, or real challenging time management. It's no longer super hard time management that turns crazy easy casual after the first competition. Also they added voice acting. Fantastic game. You will have fun.

This game is very fun and all the characters are adorable and have very diverse personalities. I am surprised the gameplay loop has quite a bit of depth and meta-progression. I like the fact that it is not overwhelming when you start playing it, and they gradually introduce mechanics at a pace where it feels neither grindy or too frequent. My criticism of the game would be that the game doesn't respect your time as well as it could in terms of UI/UX. There are loading screens going from one interface to another. That really shouldn't really need to happen if this is essentially a sprite/ 2.5D game. As well, I feel that this game is in desperate need of a QoL updates, or mods, which help you track and plan how you go about fulfilling objectives, for example custom orders, especially when they get really picky later on when it comes to traits, and when you go from one interface to another, you have to memorize what those traits are. Overall, enjoying my time with it.

Fun game. Very time consuming though due to how the UI plays. There are no means to quickly do things, you will spend a great deal making shopping lists/planning days. A curious thing, as you get better at the game, the events get longer. How this works is that dealing with customer dialog, which should have some sort of a speed/skip option, you will get more customers as you become better at the game, which means you will spend more time in dialog options. The characters are great and most all of them are interesting. I'd recommend the game if you want to sink a lot of time into something. It is fun, just wish doing things within the game didnt take so long.. looking at you brewing potions. There is no save/preset option, and there are hundreds of ingredients.
