I've had this game on the backlog for a long time, happy to finally get to it, I'll keep this review short and sweet. The good: The character writing is pretty fun and sometimes funny, and the voice acting is pretty great. The gameplay loop is pretty fun. The ost is nice and fitting The bad: The balance is all over the place, I imagine most new players are going to be kinda broke for the first half of the game, and the resource management is kind of odd, I feel like I didn't have any reason or incentive to upgrade the shop or get extra cauldrons while going through the story. Then by the end game you are flush with resources and then the game is so easy you barely have to engage with it. A sequel with better balance would be REALLY good I think. I really liked my time with the game in the end, I just see a lot of room to improve.

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.

I bought this game because it's Steam Deck verified. Unfortunately, it absolutely should not be. I've encountered endless bugs, using both a controller and a keyboard and mouse, and both installing it on the Steam Deck itself and streaming from my PC. It sucks because I really enjoyed the gameplay, but it was just too frustrating to continue, and I'm outside of the return window at this point. Recommended generally, but not for the Deck.
