About
There's no business like magic business. Time to set up shop in an idyllic small town in a medieval land filled with fairy tale magic, Discworld-esque comedy, and pop-fantasy cliches. Start small, and grow your business as your fame reaches new customers. If you think running a store is easy and somewhat dull - think again! This is no mundane supermarket. This is an establishment of miracles and wonder! Fill your shelves with magical merchandise and adjust the prices for optimal profit, while making sure your quirky clientele can still afford it. Expand your shop, add shelves, and organize your wares to attract customers!
The alchemy workshop above your store is where the real magic happens, and where you can make the most profit. Master the alchemical arts and brew potions worth their weight in gold. Fill your grimoire with formulas for useful concoctions through research and experimentation. Each ingredient has its unique properties - mash them in the mortar, mix with water and spirits, boil them in your cauldron while stirring carefully. Your elixirs will make a good coin when sold in your shop, but there's even more money to be made on custom orders. Sometimes, a customer will come with a problem only an alchemist can solve!
Good alchemical ingredients aren't that hard to come by or as expensive as one might think, while bought in bulk from the vendor across the street. But they're even cheaper if you grow them yourself! Fill your backyard with plants and mushrooms that hold all sorts of arcane qualities - from relieving bad gas to unraveling the fabric of reality. Make sure to always keep some extra planters of all sizes if you come by a rare seed while browsing your suppliers wares. Do you have a green thumb? Just remember to water your crops - they're the key to your future fortune!
As you gain wealth and experience, you will unlock new skills, options, and access to some more extravagant wares delivered to you from the farthest reaches of the realm through a network of travelling merchants. Some of the items will blow your mind (no, really - handle the Fire Wands with extreme care!). You'll also be able to buy some extra furnishing for your establishment, rare ingredients for your potions, and seeds to get your garden going. Keep an eye on lucrative wares, buy low, sell high and make sure to delight your clientele!

leuke spel ik vermaak me prima en is anders dan andere shop games
Alchemist Shop Simulator, developed and published by Kool2Play, offers a captivating and unique blend of simulation, crafting, and narrative-driven gameplay set in a charming medieval fantasy world. Players step into the shoes of an aspiring alchemist who inherits a small, rundown shop and must transform it into a thriving business. What sets this game apart from typical shop simulators is its rich alchemical system and the depth of interaction with customers, each with their own stories, needs, and secrets. The core gameplay loop revolves around managing the shop—organizing shelves, crafting potions, and fulfilling a variety of orders. Brewing potions is more than just a simple crafting mechanic; it involves experimenting with a wide range of ingredients to discover recipes and create diverse concoctions that cater to the needs of your clientele. This experimentation encourages players to think creatively and plan strategically, as different combinations yield different effects and qualities. The progression is satisfying, as players unlock new recipes, ingredients, and equipment, allowing for greater customization and efficiency in running their business. Beyond the basic shop management, Alchemist Shop Simulator excels in weaving an engaging narrative through over 150 story-driven quests. These quests add layers of depth to the gameplay, offering insight into the lives and motivations of the town’s inhabitants who visit the shop. Players aren’t just filling orders—they’re uncovering mysteries, helping solve personal problems, and sometimes dealing with magical or moral dilemmas. This narrative element elevates the game, making each customer encounter feel meaningful and adding emotional weight to what might otherwise be a straightforward simulation. Visually, the game embraces a warm and colorful art style that perfectly suits its whimsical and inviting atmosphere. The detailed character designs and lively environments bring the fantasy setting to life, while the animations contribute to a sense of bustling activity within the shop. The audio design, featuring soothing folk-inspired music and fitting sound effects, enhances the cozy, immersive feel of the game world, making time spent in the shop genuinely pleasant and relaxing. However, the game is not without its flaws. Some players may find certain mechanics, such as restocking shelves or managing the garden where ingredients grow, a bit repetitive or time-consuming after extended play sessions. While these elements contribute to the simulation experience, they can occasionally feel like busywork, detracting from the overall pacing. Additionally, the early learning curve for potion brewing might feel overwhelming to newcomers due to the number of ingredients and combinations to experiment with, though the game does provide tools and tutorials to ease this process. Despite these minor shortcomings, Alchemist Shop Simulator remains a standout title in the simulation genre by blending business management with a rich crafting system and a compelling narrative framework. It invites players to immerse themselves in a lovingly crafted world full of quirky characters and magical intrigue. For those who enjoy games that reward creativity, exploration, and story-driven progression, this game offers hours of engaging gameplay that is both charming and satisfying. It’s a delightful experience for anyone looking to escape into a magical shopkeeping adventure. Rating: 8/10
My review is that the game is graphically beautiful, not perfect. It certainly lacks something, for example the idea of inventing your own potions, another problem is that you can't explore further than the village you are in, why is a teleport button added if there is no point in using it, then why do you have an all-seeing eye, if there are no thieves? Steps to follow from the potion creation table is an extraordinary idea. There is still no possibility to decorate your house, it would have been nice to have a reputation system, and why not introduce other alchemists or even make a multiplayer system. Why is there no possibility to buy territory where you can build a house and garden with plants, why not plant trees to cut them down and otherwise participate in the life of the village. I consider the game a little redundant at a certain point. However, if you are attracted to the creation of potions I recommend it. Why couldn't the village be expanded by bringing more characters, who build houses and look for potions for various situations. A system of selling potions in other villages but where there are other competing alchemists.
give this game to a goblin and they have enough to eat for day. teach a goblin to code and... profit, i guess?
Hat durchaus mal ne Weile Spaß gemacht, fand das Design sehr lustig gestaltet
Видно что разработчик очень старался, симулятор легкий и не душный. Но я не думаю что рекомендовал бы его к покупке кому либо.
従業員を雇えるシミュレーターに慣れすぎてワンオペの大変さを思い出しました…。 いろんな魔法アイテムがみられるのは楽しかったです。
Juegazo, me ha encantado, pero me gustaría que en las estanterías se guardasen las etiquetas de los productos que ya pusiste para que no sea un caos cada vez que se vacíe la tienda. También necesita un guardado en la nube! Por lo demás genial
Wasn't able to even give it a try because developers didn't allow to invert the Y axis, which for me is beyond essential. As soon as I saw there was no option to invert Y I quit the game
Also erstmal vorweg: Der Händler hat meinen Topf geklaut, die dumme Sau :D Ich habe mich zum Kauf des Spieles entschieden, nachdem ich den Trailer als äußerst amüsant empfand, allerdings lügt der Trailer, man kann nicht einfach einen Stock, Schlüssel oder Ähnliches finden und als besondere Ware verkaufen, lediglich erscheinen Pflanzen zum Sammeln, welche leicht erkenntbar durch fliegende Blasen zu finden sind. Für einen Shopsimulator kann man sich viel bewegen. Man hat ein ganzes Dorf zum Erkunden, wobei es außer ein paar Goldsäcken und den Blasepflanzen nix zu entdecken gibt. Es kaufen immer die gleichen Leute ein , naja gut man lebt auch in einem Dorf, diese Leute sehen (bis auf die Frau in Schwarz die ist echt gruselig dieser Blick, diese Augen ) echt witzig aus, sie laufen, erzählen, tun Dinge. Die Kinder toben, spielen und kaufen auch kurz nach Ladenschluss noch überteuerte Ritualdolche und Menschenschädel. Es ist einfach eine schöne Dorfatmosphäre.. man hat sich also die Mühe gemacht, jedem einen ganzen Tagesablauf zu geben. Tagesablauf ist auch das Stichwort, denn egal, was man tut die Zeit läuft weiter im Gegensatz zu anderen Simulatoren, wo man ganz entspannt alles vor- oder nachbereiten kann. Brauche ich zu lange ist schon wieder Einkaufszeit, hab ich vergessen meine Pflanzen zu giessen gehen die ein (gut es gibt ne Warnung) Allerdings gieße ich die Pflanze oder kaufe was, lege mich dann schlafen, ist am nächsten Morgen meine Pflanze tot und das eingekaufte, naja war alles da bis auf der Topf. mmmmm dieser dreckige Dieb. XD Einkaufen ist der nächste Punkt , ich habe ein riesiges Haus, genau vor meiner Tür ist ein kleiner fahrender Händler, welcher sich als mein Großhändler herausstellt. Nachdem man bestellt hat muss mann warten dann öffnet sich ein Portal und alles fällt in Kisten aus dem Himmel. Nerviges Kiste mit 2-4Sachen drin umhergetrage geht los, während dessen leute im Shop einkaufen und auch bei dem Großhändler, warum die dann noch zu mir kommen fragt nicht, die geben gerne ihr Geld aus für überteuerte Stöcker, naja vlt verkauft er auch einfach keine Schädel und Messer an Kinder. Das ganze Wechselgeldsystem ist sehr toll gemacht mit hilfe eines Rechenschiebers wählt man die richtigen Wechselsteine aus, verrechnet oder verschiebt man sich zu Gunsten des Kunden, Pech. Ein Kassierer einstellen ist nicht möglich zumindest noch nicht (vlt im späteren Spielstadium), ich kann für 24h einen für 500Gold kaufen, welches sich anfangs trotz mit super überteuerten Preisen so gar nicht lohnt, naja später vlt. Das System zum Tränkebrauen finde ich recht schön gemacht in Verbindung mit Buchseiten, auch die kleinen Effekte der Tränke sind recht charmant, genau wie die Texte zu den Quests. Nun kann ich das Spiel empfehlen? Also: Ich bin alt geworden und finde immer mehr Gefallen an Simulatoren, zumindest in letzter Zeit. Es ist witzig, charmant, hübsch (bis auf die Frau in Schwarz), und herje, ich hab selbst den Waifu Kissen shop simulator gespielt, klar empfehle ich das Spiel. :D
