Potionomics

love it. i tried to find similar games to this one, but still one of my top recommends.

Very charming game and everyone is attractive, in spirit and in walrus blubber. Management gets really rough first 3 weeks of the game, so have fun getting used to that curve.

A cozy game with a somewhat peculiar art style that grabs elements from a few different genres. At the core of it is what the name of the game also implies, which is potion brewing. A gameplay loop that's fairly easy to get into, and with a few hundred ingredients, some basic math and potion traits to spice things up, there's enough to keep someone interested from start to finish. What comes hand in hand with brewing potions is selling them. This is reinforced by the card collecting and deck building part, inserted into the bartering environment (where your customers play effects to hinder you) to make for a simple, but surprisingly creative part of the game. There's sufficient depth to it, and as the game progresses, cards become stronger and branch out towards different archetypes, thus giving an incentive for someone to return to the deck builder and try out new things. And there are certainly quite a few potent combinations that can lead to exhilarating results. What gives more meat to the bone that is brewing and selling potions is the dating sim layer of the game. This comes with the usual time management element, which will have someone balance the time they spend acquiring new resources, upgrading their equipment, running their shop, and getting to know one or many of the charmingly designed characters. Each of them are fairly distinct, and some of their stories can be quite relatable life lessons of sorts. What gives pacing and some tension to this all is the central story of the game. It's nothing to write home about - quite the commonplace with games of this kind even - but it does a good enough job at keeping someone on their toes by giving weight to the time their actions require and the decisions they make. It also ramps the game up gradually, making it so that there's enough to be occupied with at any point during the story. [b]TL;DR:[/b] There's nothing particularly groundbreaking about this game, but it does a masterful job at taking a couple of different mechanics and combining them seamlessly to make for a fresh and engaging whole. The gameplay is dressed with delightfully cozy art all around, background tracks that are pleasant to listen to, and simple, yet endearing characters with fun little stories - meaning that, for what it is, it makes for an extremely well rounded experience, with no particular shortcomings. It also inevitably reminds me of Recettear, which is a big plus in my book, at the very least.

Potionomics is a challenging and visually pleasing addition to my Steam Library. It is a business management style game but with deck builder elements that create an engaging video game inspired by tabletop gaming. The witchy theme and charismatic cast of characters really helped drawn me in - but the technical gameplay and hard fought boss events made me fall in love. Plays well on PC and Steamdeck with cross save so I play it on the go too! Highly recommend for the mystical and strategy minded.

It's great for a late night for gaming on a weekend! Not to mention the girls are very cute and I really love the gameplay! Really captures the essence of mixing random things together when you've just started to learn cooking XD
