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.

Really fun, surprisingly charming and does the rare thing that few games do lately: It doesn't overstay its welcome at all. Short, sweet, and fun throughout. I liked it a lot!

incredibly charming and fun. Very cute and makes me very happy and satisfied with my time.
Got evicted because children kept walking into my shop, perusing my grand selection of food, and asking for a hat; getting very upset when I refused to sell them one. If the invisible hand of the market is real, it has me in a choke hold. Capitalism HO!
Bought the game for real after playing it for years. My personal comofort game. It's peak.
não, só fico chateada que tipo, um dos jogos que mais mereciam ter achievements por ter o estilo perfeito pra isso mas não tem, o unico defeito desse jogo, infelizmente nada é perfeito ne
