Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator
Description
Potion Craft is an alchemist simulator where you physically interact with your tools and ingredients to brew potions. You're in full control of the whole shop: invent new recipes, attract customers and experiment to your heart's content. Just remember: the whole town is counting on you
Join our Discord:
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!

8.5/10
Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator is a fun, relaxing experience with a great puzzle system but not much story.

3.5/5
At the end of the day, Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator delivers exactly what it set out to do with an experience that has potion brewing and alchemic discovery at its core. It is a casual endeavor on the surface, but contains plenty of depth for those willing to dive in. While its pace may not be for everyone, just a few tweaks here and there to the gameplay mechanics would help elevate this game to an even more potent mixture.

Simple, yet addictive!
In this game, you'll have to turn a run-down alchemist's den back into a thriving business. So, you've got to research potion recipes, harvest herbs, mushrooms and crystals, sell potions and mind your business's reputation. Sure, the startup phase isn't easy, but as soon as you provide the most sought after potions, things go quite easily. After a certain point, some tasks get kind of repetitive, but you're still going to be stuck to the PC until after midnight. Don't forget to eat and sleep!

Stylish puzzle game
This is a puzzle game wherein you use ingredients as the "directions" and "steps" to explore and traverse the alchemy "map", for brewing your potions. You will need to avoid obstacles, lest your brewing attempt fail. Each ingredient represents a different, sometimes quite wild movement pattern. On top of that, grinding the ingredients up, diluting the potion, using special abilities from salts etc. are all ways to manipulate how you move. There are three "maps" to explore, each with slightly different rules to learn. To get ingredients, you need to either grow them in your garden (requiring the proper seeds first) or buy the more exotic ones from traders, until you can get the respective seed; expanding the ways you can move on the "maps" is a major aspect of progression, along with exploring them. You can buy ingredients, seeds, and other things from specialist traders, who will only show up every couple of days, though, so some patience is required: It was rather annoying when I thought I had everything I needed to progress, only to have to wait for a specific trader to show up to expand my garden or buy a missing recipe. Another big part of the game is selling the potions, of course. A set number of customers appear each day and ask about getting a potion for a need they have. You offer them a potion that will fit their need, although a lot of the times there is more than one correct answer. This gets more complicated, as they start requiring more difficult potion effects (which you may not have discovered yet), combinations of effects, or when they want/hate a specific ingredient, and similar demands. Most customers are seemingly randomized, while a few are individuals with their own sprite and short story-line, who will show up repeatedly over the course of the game. Along the way, you will need to brew some very complex recipes, which you can save for mass production, assuming you have the space for the recipes in your recipe book: This book is essential for fulfilling your customers' needs, since it will allow you to repeatedly mass-produce potions that you already mastered. The game is technically endless, but there is a long quest-line which guides your progression, and which was my main motivation for playing. Near the end of the quest-line, this can get quite grindy, though: After brewing the final, quite complex recipe of the quest-line, I still had to spend a few days serving customers, just to increase my popularity enough to finish the final quest: What an anti-climax. The graphical style of the game is lovely and the variety of ingredients is staggering. The music fits very well, but the small number of tracks can get rather grating. There are some silly references to other games and a number of jokes, but they don't pop up too often. Sadly, the game crashed repeatedly for me. There is an auto-save at the start of every day, but since each day can be very, very long, I strongly recommend saving manually quite often, to avoid losing progress. Overall, a very stylish, cute puzzle game. The mixed-in mini-games - like haggling, tending your garden, decorating your house etc. - work well to vary things up. It does get a bit monotonous towards the end, though.

Fun potion crafting
Exactly as it says on the title, it's a game about mixing ingredients and selling potions to people. The fun part is that each ingredient moves a little potion on a map, and you have to be clever which ingredients you mix to explore the map and find new potion recipes. The whole process also genuinely looks like you're mixing a potion, even though you're trying to navigate the map. A great way to relax, meeting quirky locals and selling weird potions to them.
