About
Recettear is the story of an item shop, the girl who lives in it, and the fairy who turned her life upside down. Recette Lemongrass finds herself in charge of an item shop built into her house, in order to pay back a loan her father took and then skipped out on - and Tear, her newfound fairy "companion", won't take no for an answer! As Recette, you have to decide how you'll get your stock - either through playing the markets in town or going out into the wild with an adventuring friend and thrashing beasts until they give up the goodies - how much to sell things for, what the shop should look like, and how to best go about getting the money Tear needs to pay off the loan. If you can't come up with the money... well, hope you like living in a cardboard box.

Capitalism, Ho!
this game pirated ten years of my life and I barely even played it :s
A very creative concept of a video game that plays really well, is cute, AND has a great sense of humor! I HIGHLY recommend trying this video game, for all of you that are into action RPGs!
game of all time
0/10 Old man keeps ragebaiting me and never buys anything
A merchant sim at the top of its class and an extremely punishing dungeon adventure game at the same time - where you never even really need to go into the dungeon. That's right - you can play the entire storyline just trading between the guild and selling at an appropriate profit in your shop. Currently, and usually on a steep sale. If you haven't played it then you probably don't know there is a void in your heart it means to fill. CAPITALISM, HO!
