Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.71/day in the week to Sep 2 → 2.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Potionomics is a beautifully crafted game with impressive production values and a unique mix of potion-making and relationship-building. While its core systems are deep and rewarding, some design choices clash with the cozy vibe the game seems to aim for. Gameplay – ★★★★☆ (4/5) Both potion-making and building character relationships are the stars of the show. The mixing system is deep and satisfying, offering plenty of room for creativity and optimization. On top of that, the game delivers a well-balanced mixture of varied gameplay: potion-making, deck-building, and relationship simulation. The cast of colorful, dateable characters is worth investing time in—every interaction feels rewarding and interesting. You gain new cards to improve your deck, coupons for discounts, and bits of lore that unfold the story in a charming way. All in all, this aspect is very well crafted. However, the time pressure mechanic feels overly steep. Every day must be managed with precision, and the looming threat of game over during competitions detracts from the cozy experience of exploring relationships and learning about NPCs. This tension can feel out of place in a game that otherwise encourages immersion and relaxation. Art – ★★★★☆ (4/5) The visuals are lovely, with gorgeous 3D animations, great character design, and enchanting potion effects. Backgrounds are vibrant and full of personality, making the world feel alive and magical. Sound – ★★★★★ (5/5) Top-notch production value here: full voice acting, fabulous music, and sound design that perfectly complements the whimsical tone of the game. It’s a joy to listen to. UI – ★★☆☆☆ (2/5) This is where Potionomics struggles. The interface for mixing potions is hard to navigate. Managing hundreds of ingredients across is cumbersome when the items are listed on just a portion of the screen, and sorting tools are even smaller buttons. This makes inventory management frustrating, especially on smaller screens. Additionally, mouse and keyboard support is limited, and controller mapping could use more customization options and hotkeys. Final Thoughts Potionomics is a great game. You can finish the main story in about 5 hours, and then enjoy Endless Mode without time restraints for a more relaxed experience. Voracious Games made sure to put great care and impressive quality into its design and presentation. The visuals, animations, and overall production value are top-notch. The enchanting soundtrack, composed by Greg Nicolett, adds another layer of charm with its whimsical and immersive music that perfectly complements the magical atmosphere. However, its steep time management mechanics and UI limitations hold it back from being a truly cozy, stress-free experience. If you love deep crafting systems and don’t mind a bit of pressure, this game is worth checking out. Score: 8/10

A fun game. Lots of enjoyable characters with solid voice acting. Some aspects could be slightly cleaner like navigating menus. And quite frankly the game shouldn't be steam deck verified cause it's buggy AF. Will randomly just stop working with the controller and require me to use the touch pad to reset it or so on.
Super fun and cozy game! I love the characters and the themes of the story, and the music is SO GOOD! The potion and card mechanics are also really fun and satisfying. Just such a nice experience to play, and you can tell how much care went into it :)
It's got the Civilization "One More Turn" syndrome but in a game about running your own business as a potion brewer. A fun challenge on normal mode, for sure!
Feels a bit unfinished and cobbled together, but it's super charming, great art-style and is very chill and low-stakes, perfect for some relaxing evenings.
I love this game. So funny and wholesome. Normal difficulty is fine: A bit of a challenge and time management, but everything can be done. Otherwise there always is a hard and a relaxed mode.

Why is this game actually kicking my ass on capitalist difficulty. 8.5/10
Эта игра так хороша, что сложно поверить, что она существует. Я большой и давний фанат Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale. Нельзя сказать, что Potionomics строго лучше. Тут не хватает той части Recettear, которую можно охарактеризовать как RPG / dungeon crawler — экипирования героев, прохождения подземелий в режиме экшена с прямым контролем. Но в Potionomics есть многое вместо этого. - Харизматичные персонажи. При всём уважении к Recettear, там они достаточно анимешно-шаблонные. Здесь, несмотря на некоторую гротескность, персонажи довольно глубоки, а их истории действительно интересны. Анимация и озвучка также выше всяких похвал. Плоские картинки и пара отдельных фраз в Recettear не выдерживают сравнения. Кроме того, у каждого персонажа своя игровая функция. Кого-то можно отправлять в местные данжи (никакого экшена, небольшая мини-игра, где надо баффать героев зельями, а они за это дают лут). Кто-то продаёт ингредиенты, кто-то апгрейды для магазина, кто-то даёт ситуативные баффы... Да, с персонажами можно вступать в романтические отношения. Нет, на экране покажут максимум поцелуйчики. Но это всё равно довольно приятная часть игры. - Торги в формате ККИ — однозначно интереснее, чем простое угадывание суммы, на которую покупатель согласится. Ну, ладно, не такое простое, в Recettear было немало тонкостей, но всё же тактика торгов в Potionomics более многомерна. - Зельеварение — для тех, кто любит «задачу о рюкзаке». А также для тех, кто не изучал теорию алгоритмов, но просто любит небольшие числовые пазлы. Сотня различных ингредиентов, пять составляющий магических элементов-магиминов, система позитивных/негативных качеств — в общем, довольно глубокая игра в игре. - Обставление магазина — пожалуй, попроще, чем в Recettear. Нет системы предпочтений покупателей. Зато есть куча разновидностей котлов для зельеварения, которые ещё и можно апгрейдить. Впрочем, это скорее относится к предыдущему пункту. Единственный минус Potionomics для меня — не до конца отточенный баланс, из-за чего игра даже на максимальной сложности становится очень простой, когда до конца поймёшь что делать. Нетрудно собрать имбовые колоды для торгов, которые почти гарантированно дают максимальную цену. Или даже выше чем максимальную. Или даже потенциально бесконечную. Необязательно подбирать идеальные рецепты для зелий. Необязательно даже апгрейдить экипировку. Potionomics — скорее игра-история, чем игра-челлендж. Но это чертовски красивая и интересная история.
