Potionomics

The potion crafting / deckbuilder / dating sim / ingredient shopping gameplay loop had me fully hooked until the last 25% of the game, where I had made so much money it no longer made sense to do anything but advance relationships -- but I played through on medium difficulty. Put it on "Capitalist" if you autistically optimize everything like me and want a challenge all the way to the end. Be warned there is a they/them character among the cast of 10 vendors you can't ignore, in case you identify as non-buy-nary. It's not a plot point or ever mentioned in dialogue, because the writers are actually talented and they don't call attention to it, it's simply there as the pronouns people use to refer to this girl. The game's quality is super well worth the cringe and occasional eyeroll. Roxanne best girl

ヴィジュアルノベル（恋愛シミュ）に経営シミュが付いたゲームと解釈すれば大満足。経営シミュだと思うとう～んってなる。キャラデザ、モーション、コミュニケーション会話が全部ツボでこの世界に夢中になれた。アニメを一気見した感覚。 このゲームを遊んで良かったと思うのは、時間制限というのはゲームを楽しませるという事。 時間制限があるから効率的な行動を考える事ができる 時間制限があるから資金を短期間で貯める方法を考える 時間制限があるから資金の投資先（素材購入、設備のアップグレード）を考える 時間制限があるから突発的なバフ、デバフイベント毎にスケジュール調整を考える 時間制限があるからコミュニケーション（能力強化）をするタイミングを考える 勝手のわからない1~20日は 店を開き資金を作り、冒険者にレア素材採取の依頼料とポーションを確保して 釜のアップグレードをして大会に勝てるポーションを作るという流れの時間管理が中々シビアで楽しめた。 しかし20日以降は期限５日前ぐらいでクリア条件を満たし、後は期限までポーション販売価格高騰時に稼げる時にひたすら稼いで次の期限に備えるという流れが成立しちゃって時間が余る事になった。これは俺が無駄に効率考えすぎたせいではあるが。難易度ノーマルだったらもっと気楽にやっていい。 ただ、最終戦は課題ポーション全部限界まで価格高めとけ。 個人的に期限を設けたから面白かった部分があったが、この世界でスローライフを楽しみたかったなぁ。 次回作は期限無しで ポーションの作成とカードバトルが絡んだサブストーリー兼コンテンツが拡充されるとうれしいなぁ なんならエンドレスモード拡充の大型DLCでも良いけど、この世界を１作で終わらせないでくれ～！

Real nice crafting - economy - deck builder - dating sim mix! The art style and animations are amazing and I enjoyed the diverse characters a lot. You can turn the game on easy mode at the start to not get overwhelmed with the requirements for the first fight. After you figured everything out, it's rather smooth sailing. Unlocking the different relationship stages and new cards was real fun, especially dating multiple characters was a nice addition to the game. The dating dialogue options are a often cringe though. The game could use some more qol updates, because your inventory gets real crowded after a while. Sending people on missions could be way faster and more convenient too just like shopping for ingredients. I also finished all the potions before the second last fight, so it was a rather boring 10 days of skipping hours. Got all achievements done in one playthrough. Which is good, because there isn't really much replayability here after you saw it all.

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

This game is so fun, I came back for a 3rd playthrough! I wanted to play it again since they added voice acting, and it became even more enjoyable with the added audio. It has pretty much everything I want in a potion game: fun potion-making mechanics, dating sim, excellent music, fun character designs, deck building, etc. I honestly can't say anything bad about this game; they were really receptive to feedback and added everything players requested. Would definitely recommend playing if you like making potions <3

It's a really fun game! I was expecting to have a decent time with it but it's above my expectations. My husband has found the dialogue hilarious and is now playing as well. The only disappointment I have is that there are very few male options compared to female options for romance. I would have liked a 50/50 split for that. The voice acting is absolutely amazing though!! I love the exaggerated facial expressions as well.
