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 customizing
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!

Woulda loved to give a good review but abandoned games are ones that I can't give a good review for.
This game had just one release, and then nothing. They dropped the game and left. There is still very clearly a lot of room left for polishing, but they've decided "We've done enough" and gone.
I guess they didn't think this game would net them much profit, and I don't know if it even did.
If I said it once, I said it a hundred times...STOP USING UNITY ENGINE FOR RELEASE VERSIONS OF A GAME !!!!!!!!!!!
Unity is great to test your game design ideas but TERRIBLE for releasing a game. The Unity Engine takes WAY TOO MUCH RESOURCES to play any game at all. Potion Craft is cute, fresh and fun game idea but it runs super hot on my gaming laptop (75 Celsius) and it runs at 65 on my PC rig. Potion Craft is exclusively a 2D pre-rendered sprites game and it takes several minutes to load the main menu screen, it struggles to load several game variables in the background and at some point I saw a graphics glitch at the top of the screen (and yes, I have the latest drivers installed, Titan RTX 3090, blah blah blah).
But enough of technical issues. Let's go to the game play. The demo was better than this release version and here are the reasons:
1) They changed the alchemy map for the worst. It's way too convoluted now with lots of intricacies.
2) Most potions now have rotations. A welcoming feature that adds complexity and challenge...BUT... you need alchemy salts to rotate potions and those salts are so expensive that adding just enough to give the potion its level 3 status you already screw the potion's profitability.
3) Some customers will give you absolutely no damn clue about what potion they want ! I think there are 3 or 4 dudes that always come to my store and I threw every potion I had in stock and they leave furious and ranting.
4) Crystals are a new and awesome ingredient but again...SUPER EXPENSIVE to buy. No fun at all.
5) Like some other games, money becomes useless in the long run. You don't have every day expenses like food, clothing, rent or taxes. You only make and make money like the Federal Reserve printer. Not fun at all.
6) The recipe book with its new tags is a MESS ! After writing down 20 or 25 recipes your book will look like a confusing pile of garbage rather than an alchemy book.
It's not only suck version, also price raised, the lowest is $9, raised without a note.
I think I will never get this game.
The other reviews said right, the demo is better.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
