One of the best relaxing games I have ever played. The game does a great job of combining satisfactory progression, difficulty and creativity together, making this game something truly unique. Not to mention the art styles is timeless, it is clear a lot of love has been put into the game. Cannot recommend more if you're looking for something nice to play in the background.

About the Game
Features:
Unique visuals inspired by medieval manuscripts and medical books.
Hyper satisfying physical interactions with ingredients and equipment.
Sandbox style gameplay where you have many different avenues available, and it’s up to you to figure out the best way to complete each task.
Sell your potions to the townsfolk while roleplaying as a noble artisan, a greedy weasel, an occult dark master, or whomever else you may wish to be!
Work with all sorts of ingredients
Leaves, flowers, berries, roots, fruits, minerals, and a plethora of mushrooms are at the ready for your mortar and pestle. Just like espresso, the fineness of the grind matters!
Learn the art of potion making
Concoct your potion plan. Grind ingredients and carefully mix them in your cauldron. Heat the coals. Boil and stir. Add the base: water, oil, or… something else. Congrats on your first potion! Was it easy to learn? Now try mastering it!
Experiment and invent new recipes
Carefully plan your route via the Alchemy Map to combine different effects. Be mindful of common sense: you won’t find a market for a poisonous healing potion… right? Or would you?
Sell potions
Every day customers will come to your store looking for solutions to their problems. You will face consequences depending on what you decide to sell them. Attract guilds, befriend notable figures (or feud with them), gain riches and influence - and one day, you may even decide the fate of the whole town.
Buy ingredients or grow your own
Every alchemist needs ingredients, and there are many ways to get them! You can buy them from traveling merchants: it can be pricey, but successful haggling may save you some coin. Or take matters into your own hands and cultivate your very own enchanted garden. Grow a variety of ingredients, from vibrant herbs to exotic mushrooms and even magical crystals, each essential for brewing your unique potions!
Get creative with customization
Want to give your best potions a special look? Go for it! Change the bottle shape, label type, icon and colours. You can even give it a custom name and label description. Carefully arrange your unique potions to showcase them on your shop's shelves and tables... or go a step further and customize your shop itself! Choose from a variety of furniture and shelving to give your alchemy shop a personal touch that matches your style. We won't tell you what to do, just have fun!

i love this game! The only thing I don't like is that I would like a more complicated plot, a lot more traveling vendors, more of a variety of plants, crystals, strange & unique humans & players. Everything is excellent but I want more! The art work is very appropriate for the purpose of the game; simple but unique, The characters are interesting; both vendors & customers, all of the "rewards" (advancements in the game) for improving are very special. I think that it would be great if you would incorporate more animals, fantasy characters, maybe a little romance (like a couple coming in the shop for libido, charm & birth control combo?) Thank you so much for this wonderful game. I have played through again & again. I am a 70 year old mother, grandmother, registered nurse & artist. I have had a serious illness that reduces me to being almost bedridden on my worst days & this game has really helped to distract & entertain me & help me to keep learning new skills while I tr...
Oh, what a game! Potion Craft is exactly as advertised, a potion making game, but it is so much more fun than you might imagine, even if you already think it sounds amazing. The brewing system is so innovative and remains interesting with every new ingredient you get your hands on. The whole game is very intuitive, and only had to check the wiki to understand a button/label/mechanic once or twice. The progression of the game is very satisfying, starting you off simple and clear, but allowing you to discover and discover as you keep going. You get the chance to genuinely develop skill and instincts for the gameplay (brewing) loop. It was so much fun managing my enchanted garden, and optimizing recipes for common potions. The system for saving recipes neatly avoided frustrating and repetitive grinding, but the unique NPC requests made sure you still had to get your hands dirty and couldn't just rely on those recipes. I enjoyed figuring out what kind of potion each NPC needed, and lov...
This game is simple, slow, and cathartic, until it's not. Then it's tedious, tedious, tedious. And I don't say this to dissuade, but just to state that the pacing and tone are a bit off. But, it's a beautiful indie game, featuring a stylized art that matches its themes, filled with love and relaxing minigames, and I do not regret it. Just know that if you want to 100% it, you may come out of it more frustrated than satisfied. Although, this does come from someone that typically binges games, so maybe it's more fulfilling when given to a more lax perspective.
There is a lot to like about this game: it's style is unique and beautiful, the music is catchy, the sound design is satisfying, and the core gameplay loop is engaging... for a little while. My biggest problems are the tediousness and the lack of guidance. Tediousness: To perform any action while brewing (grinding an ingredient, adding an ingredient, stirring the pot, etc.) you HAVE to move the mouse. For simple recipes, this is part of the charm; it makes you feel like you're actually brewing the potion. Even for somewhat more complex potions this isn't THAT bad as you can save recipes to brew them with the push of a button (provided you have the ingredients). How do you discover new recipes? Essentially, you explore around a map using the different ingredients' unique walking patterns. Generally, rare/expensive ingredients will move you further, have a straighter path, give you more choice of direction, or whatever other benefits, with the obvious cost of them being harder to get. ...
Potion Craft is a cute shopkeeper simulator/puzzler. Solid music and visuals. Not the greatest variety of gameplay, but you can't go wrong here.
While a bit slow, the game is completely addicting. It's definitely challenging, but everything flows well.
Love anything magic related and dreamed as a child of making potions. Fast paced, yet intricate and involved game that makes you think, but not stress, about making, sourcing and selling potions. Love it
This is such a fun "turn your brain off and vibe" game. I did get a little confused in the beginning but it's such an easy game to play while you're listening to a podcast or something. Very low stakes, easy, fun repetitious vibes.
Although the game starts out ok and has a good graphics style and soundscape, once you've learned how the potion crafting works it starts to wane. What's missing is an overall story line beyond "become a master alchemist".
