Potionomics

After a few updates, this game is pretty solid. It can be frustrating trying to manage all the different aspects of the game, but the relationships with the various NPCs and the art style and pretty good voice acting make it worth your time.

100% saves before and after the update - this is a good pickup during a sale. there's a very stressful early and midgame that takes a lot of planning but never luck that you eventually escape due to outscaling any and every adversarial system with straight cash. while there *is* replayability here, outside of choosing what order you schmooze the townfolk for cards and rolling the ingredient gacha you've seen most of what the game has to offer. also soundtrack has amazing quality and such an insane breadth

you know the shop management game is good when you start craving a cigarette

玩之前以为是欧美风炼金工坊，上手才发现是萌化版暗黑地牢。

Decent game, rather relaxing since no elaborate strategy needed to progress through the game, the game loop AND the progression kind of made it more tedious on the later part of the game, i got to the final part of the potion tournament but got burned out, still a decent game tho.

10/10 Absolutely loved this game. Fun with crafting, deckbuilding card mechanics tied to friendships, running a shop with haggling, resource management, and wonderful dialog with romance options. One of my favorites. For me this was a nearly perfect game, I only wish it had been a bit longer. I cannot recommend it highly enough if you enjoy these mechanics.

Unskippable minutes-long cutscenes on losing a game based on RNG = never recommended
