“A nice, relaxing game that is perfect for the Steam Deck. While some mechanics could benefit from a better explanation, they aren't difficult to figure out. The art style is charming, and the music fits the medieval…”
“THE prime casual meat. It's extremely easy while also having enough depth and complexity to be interesting to play. Nitpicking: It can get a bit tedious towards the "end" & upgrades are a tad misaligned with progression.”
“Very chill game with great aesthetics and just enough strategy to keep you engaged but never frustrated. Like settling into a soft, cozy blanket.”

“I don't get how this game has "Overwhelmingly Positive"... it is so basic that is is overwhelmingly boring.... Don't get me wrong, the art, graphics, design, are really good, but the game play... I expected way more…”

“Super chill, nice progression - really scratching my potion seller itch I developed from KCD2. Also, I love the cameos - I've seen Geralt and Dave the Diver so far!”
“Once it clicks, it's quite addicting. This is an [i]exploration[/i] game, first and foremost, with the main mechanic feeling almost like a puzzle platformer. Also has a bit of that incremental feel, where the complexity…”
“this game is very relaxing. i like it because it's almost like an endless business with many many upgrades. though i will say, i did become money hungry so i haggle most potions. except for health, i haggle those for…”

“It is so satisfying to play, and you can label and write your own descriptions for the potions, as well as choose the bottles theyre in. The merchant characters are likeable, and the kinds of visitors you get depends on…”
“initially, i thought this game was going to rely on cramming random plants in a cauldron, but the map exploration technique is so tastefully creative that i fell in love with it in a whole new way... that, and the…”
“Super fun! Love the little references to other games with the characters. I wanted to play this game for like 2-3 hours but ended up getting addicted.”

“Yes I'll give it a thumbs up, but anyone who considers this game should be aware that it can take a while before the game becomes interesting. For quite a while when first getting started it's just "waddle the mouse for…”

“I like it :) The potion exploration mechanic is super unique, and also really intuitive in my opinion! If you're not playing on a harder difficulty, it doesn't take super long to lose those key driving forces to play…”

“Don't get me wrong - the game itself is great. But the game released almost 2 years ago, and barely touching the touch screen soft crashes the game with "GetPointerTouchInfo: Call not implemented." error I know that the…”
“It does take time for updates, but I personally don't mind. Definatly a slower sim, but a good one for those who do mind something a bit more simple and fun.”
“Love the game. It's nice you can do everything at your own pace. The tie-in characters from other games and other references are super cute (Dave me boi <3). The graphics are amazing! It can be quite challenging to be…”
