Part-Time Witch

Game feels underdeveloped on both the gameplay and h-content fronts. The main gameplay loop of brewing potions for customers has little complexity to it: you drag ingredients into a cauldron, play a short minigame to brew it, and deliver the potion. Each week presents a bit more complexity to this task, unlocking new customers who want potions prepared in unique ways (orcs want potions grounded, elves want potions as a liquid), or a daily rule excluding you from serving certain species/genders of customers (it is never addressed why this goes into effect), but all this does is add one more step to an already mind-numbing loop. The saving grace to this was upon my discovery that you can close the shop at will rather than wait for the timer to run out. Once I got enough money to pay off my debt, I kept closing down immediately so as to not waste any more time. As for the h-content, holy mother of abrupt. While playing brewing mini-games, some of them (and only some of them!) will have sexual animations ongoing in the background as you try to complete these tasks. I find this half-and-half presentation to be really jarring as, opposed to if they would stick to one manner of presentation or the other, one minigame can have you simply keeping a potion inside of a moving circle on the screen while the next has you clicking on runes while your character gets penetrated by tentacles. Weird! Another prominent part of the game are the 'routes' with different characters you meet when you're not working. There's Leah, your boss, Thoga, who runs the library, and Ash, who runs the clothing store. To progress these routes, you need to spend some of your money purchasing items at their shops (At Thoga's, you learn new ingredients for potionmaking, while at Ash's, you unlock outfits with unique effects when wearing them. Leah's, on the other hand, you progress by opening emails she sends you each week). After a certain quota is met, you receive a short exchange of messages with them, and then they send you nudes. There is very little time to actually learn anything about these characters as the game almost immediately jumps to the adult content. The game's ending tries to frame these people as friends of whom make you feel at home, but there is next-to-no relationship ever established with them, and what relationships you *do* have with them just come off as transactional as they are only after you give them thousands of dollars. Later content you unlock with these characters are actual animations, rather than images, but I found the content to be strongly lacking in diversity. Every route has the same culmination of [Character] takes a genderswap potion and proceeds to plow the player character (or in Ash's route, he and Thoga take genderswap potions and he gets plowed while you watch off-screen). It all ends up feeling cheap, and a lot of wasted potential for the cast when every interaction with them is the exact same position. You'd think with the majority-female cast, they would consider perchance cunnilingus or some scissoring, but nope. Straight sex be upon ye!

[/td] [/tr] [/table] [h1]📝 Review, Gameplay & Verdict[/h1] [table] [tr] [th]📖 Story[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td] Part-Time Witch follows Jessica, a young woman who dreams of becoming a professional witch. To support herself, she accepts a part-time job at a potion shop and must earn enough money to cover her expenses and complete her training. She gradually meets Leah, her flirtatious boss; Thoga, who manages the library; and Ash, a femboy elf running the clothing store. The premise is cute and lighthearted, but the story is extremely simple. Character progression mostly comes from spending money or opening messages, so relationships move from brief conversations to nudity and sex before meaningful bonds can develop. [/td] [/tr] [/table] [table] [tr] [th]🎮 Gameplay[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td] ① [b]Potion Brewing & Shop Management[/b] Customers request specific potions that must be prepared by selecting the correct ingredients, completing one of three brewing mini-games, bottling the result, and serving it before they leave. New customers gradually introduce additional preparation methods, while daily rules prevent Jessica from serving certain genders or species. The exceptions involving angels and demons are not explained clearly, making some lost sales feel unfair. ② [b]Upgrades & Adult Content[/b] Money is spent on ingredients, new recipes, and outfits that provide passive bonuses. Buying items from Thoga and Ash unlocks more of their content, while Leah’s events progress through weekly messages. Some brewing mini-games display animated H-scenes in the background, which is a creative way to connect the adult content to the shop system. However, the limited number of mini-games makes the daily loop repetitive rather quickly. ③ [b]Good and Bad Endings[/b] The game has two endings. Failing to earn enough money leads to the bad ending, while meeting the final payment requirement allows Jessica to become a full-fledged witch. The game saves automatically, and the shop can be closed early once you have earned enough money for the day. [/td] [/tr] [/table] [table] [tr] [th]🏆 [b]VERDICT[/b][/th] [/tr] [tr] [td] I enjoyed Part-Time Witch a lot. It is a cute and visually charming adult management game with lovely pixel art, appealing character designs, carefully staged scenes, and smooth animations. The potion-brewing loop is simple but surprisingly fun. Selecting ingredients, following recipes, completing the different preparation mini-games, and serving customers gives each day a pleasant rhythm. The limited number of mini-games eventually makes the process repetitive, but preparing the potions remains enjoyable throughout the game’s short runtime. The 9 animated H-scenes are easily the main attraction. Several include multiple stages or variations, and the game covers a broad selection of fetishes involving women, futanari, femboys, genderswapping, slime, tentacles, and monster encounters. The attractive pixel art and varied staging make the scenes consistently enjoyable to watch. The management mechanics and supporting character events could have been developed further, especially with more recipes, customer types, mini-games, and longer interactions. However, the game never overstays its welcome, and its light progression makes it easy to enjoy without unnecessary grinding or frustration. Part-Time Witch is best approached as a short, high-quality pixel-art H-game with a fun potion-brewing system rather than a deep shop simulator. Its concept has plenty of room to grow, but the charming presentation, varied animated scenes, and enjoyable crafting loop already make it a very pleasant two-to-three-hour experience.

No voy a recomendar el juego, y no entiendo las recomendaciones. El juego es simple, imita un poco el mecanismo jugable de pappers please, viene un cliente, y juntas ingredientes para hacer una poción, jugando a unos minijuegos.... tradicionales, que no inventan nada, que te ponen una imagen en el fondo, a medida que avanzas vienen clientes con más requerimientos. El juego es corto de narices, en dos horas lo terminas, salvo que seas el peor jugador de la historia. Y terminar el juego te da acceso a 8 o 9 escenas, que no son escenas. Se nota el arte está trabajado, con ese rollo en bit, y la dinámica del juego puede ser entretenida, pero no alcanza para un recomendado. Puntos buenos. - El diseño de arte, es gustoso, agradable, nostálgico. - Se nota el trabajo en algunas escenas, con las ondas en el trasero, y cosas muy detalladas. Puntos malos. - Los minijuegos son repetitivos, si bien hay más de uno, se reiteran, y el bucle jugable es repetirlos una y otra vez. -Pocos personajes, solo 4 contando a la protagonista. -Pocas escenas, muy pocas escenas, está falto de contenido. -Juego muy breve, cuando ya le has cogido el punto es cuando básicamente el juego termina. -En partes se explica mal, cuando te dice no atiendas hombres, no queda claro si incluye hombres demonio, angeles, elfos u orcos o solo humanos. En fin para mi no es recomendable. Necesitaría más contenido, más minijuegos, y un bucle jugable menos repetitivo para hacerlo recomendable. Una pena, porque el diseño de arte es bueno, y se nota cierto amor en las escenas.

Довольно простая игра, с приятной пиксельной графикой. Проходится за пару часов на все достижения (имейте ввиду, что после получения "финального достижения" нужно отыграть ещё 2 игровых дня что бы увидеть концовку) H-сцены приятные, но открываются только при достижении конкретных условий + несколько картинок. В самом игровом процессе H-контента нет. Мы просто варим зелья по рецептам на время. Перевод на русский язык - хороший. По скидке можно взять.

Ведьма на подработке! - 2/10 ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Бесконечный гринд с тонной одинаковых мини-игр. Почему, а главное, за что тут столько положительных отзывов — непонятно.

[h2] 游戏介绍 [/h2] 《Part-Time Witch》（兼职小女巫 ）是Eyed Mushroom开发的一款像素风格的成人向模拟经营游戏，玩家将会扮演一位初来乍到以正式女巫为目标的杰西卡，在经营魔药小铺的同时还要打工赚钱，游戏以模拟经营为主要玩法，同时融入了换装和角色养成元素，本作支持中文，虽然无配音但是有特殊音效。 [h2] 剧情简介[/h2] 故事的舞台设定在了一个魔法和科技早就紧密交织在一起的奇幻世界，杰西卡是一个立志成为伟大女巫的小魔女，为此她来到了大都市来学习魔法知识。可是初来乍到得杰西卡身上根本没有多少钱，要知道大城市的开销可是很大的。好在一个叫莉莉特的魔药小铺老板娘看中了你的天赋，决定将楼上的公寓租给你的同时允许你在魔药小铺兼职工作，为了能成为正式女巫，杰西卡开始了漫长的打工之旅。 [h2] 玩法特点 [/h2] 游戏的玩法比较简单，类似《超市模拟器》那种玩家需要根据客人的需求为他们炼制各种魔药，魔药的配方都有提示玩家需要点击鼠标选择抓取、搅拌、挤压、混合等方式操作原料即可，游戏中有着各种奇幻的种族设定，而且他们的要求也会有很大的不同，不过整体难度不大。 游戏中的每天开店时间并不长，因此我们要尽可能快速的完成客人的需求赚更多的钱，而且还要去兼职其他工具来赚钱。前期的话还是以攒钱为主，这样我们可以购买新的衣服，学习新的魔药配方，这些可以为我们提供赚钱的buff。 [h2] 成人内容 [/h2] 游戏的成人内容主要是像素风格的动态无码CG，虽然是像素风格作画，但是整体细节做的很棒，而且还有娇喘和呻吟等特殊音效，游戏的成人元素包含了触手，futa，异种族等等，整体的XP涵盖还是蛮广的，适合大部分的绅士玩家。

I absolutely hate it. the gameplay is awkward, the drag and drop targeting is inaccurate, and the tutorials are poorly worded. I had to restart multiple times to not run out or ingredients on the first day, and even after achieving AN income, I found out you have to spend clocked time to resupply anything, so you get to choose earning money OR supplies through out the day, which is swamped by disfunctional minigames anyway. no amount of artwork is worth this amount of rage. Can't recommend.

Hatte es in 34 min das erste mal durchgespielt, gibt nicht viel zu erledigen und nachdem man durch ist, ist es der gleiche extrem simple Gameplay loop. :v

'You can literally play this game with one hand'—that’s basically the game's motto. But honestly, the story actually slapped, which was a pleasant surprise. That said, I feel like adding a few small details would take it to the next level. For example, if you wear certain outfits into a shop, the NPC should totally react or check you out. It’d also be cool to introduce ingredient quality. Plus, they could make the learning process partial, so if your character hasn't fully mastered a recipe, they just take way longer to brew potions.
