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! You should play this.
Me encantó, es un juego que desborda carisma. Cada personaje parece hecho con gran cariño, y cada interacción es calidad. Este juego es de los pocos que me hizo soltar alguna risa genuina, o sonreír con los momentos emotivos. Por lo demás, es divertido y punto, me gusta caminar por las dungeons, vender, comprar. Todo. Se hizo fácil uno de mis favoritos.

this game pirated ten years of my life and I barely even played it :s
Hehe I sell wares
Its okay I guess
10/10 would recommend. I love the storyline progression and game mechanics of setting up a shop each day and buying new stock to sell. Some people may find the game loop repetitive, but it's just right for me doing the same actions but still progressing to see what I might unlock next. It's a super charming game and has cozy game vibes.
This is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scary right now not for faint of heart
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!
The most adorable critique of unchained late-stage capitalism you'll ever see.
Bought the game for real after playing it for years. My personal comofort game. It's peak.
