if you truly try to do all achievements it becomes anything but cozy i started my save before the 2.0 update and continued playing with improved quality of life it was suuuper necessary suffering game mode? yOU MEAN I HAVEN'T BEEN SUFFERING TRYING TO MAKE THE PHILOSOPHER'S SALT ALREADY ON NORMAL DIFFICULTY?! + i agree with the others repetitive gameplay that can become a real chore and the ui/chatbox design BEGS for deeper and more immersive quest lines thay never come :[ maybe playing on steam deck just increased the difficulty as the game is not controller optimised for it at all, but every time i needed to move the potion a millimeter to align it with the recipe line i just didn't breathe for a good 10 seconds as the spoon is sooo sensitive to the (to me available) touchscreen controls wish there was a big and small spoon (heh) option, because if you plan simpler paths ahead and need to stir it takes too long and when you need real small adjustments when you're done it becomes too rough and inaccurate the assisting lines should have more length and opacity as well, if you don't allow accuracy adjustments in the accessibility settings personally id like to grind multiple ingredients at once, e.g. when you know the path towards the charm potion takes four of *ingredient*— just removes some of the unnecessary repetition maybe also a rain potion or a trader that allows you some automations the expanded enchanted garden is great, but watering and fertilising everything by hand every day (especially as the potion making has many useful shortcuts which make the trading feel a lot shorter than the time spent on maintaining the garden) yeah... not the greatest or maybe an upgraded watering can that speeds up the watering time per plant/increases the area watered a little? i also feel like there should be an option to either buy multiple alchemy station upgrades immediately without reputation/shop limits or the ability to idk send levitation mail to the guy and access his shop for recipe pages and upgrades all the time if you're unlucky and are off by a couple hundred coins, because you impulsively bought new seeds... yeah have fun playing another five or something days until he visits you again also the reputation system needs to be less binary having some of the truly evil customers visit you even with good reputation (the vampire, witch etc. are too comically mellow/not as seriously threatening as other npcs) would hit a lot more and be interesting completely missed the reputation concept at first and just served everyone that landed me at 94~100 good reputation without even trying always wondered when a cool necromancer would show up and ask me for the suitable potion... especially if some moral dilemma's only distinguishing dialogue changes are "hey, i want to help my horse win a race with a speed potion :)" vs. "i want to sabotage the other horses by giving them slowness potions >:(" like bruh, you're both cheating... tldr, overall good game easy to get hooked when afflicted with autism but even with autism it can get painfully grindy and i had no fun doing the last few required potion paths... guess 3.0 is gonna go crazyyy

Look, maybe im just obsessed with potions and alchemy, but i've beaten this game twice and gotten every achievement. It's rly good, the potion crafting system is the best in any game i've ever played and i have played many games with various crafting systems, this one's the best

I won't lie, when I first played this after its initial release, while I enjoyed myself? I found myself getting distracted from it due to a slow slog of progression and a bit of being 'stuck'. Thankfully, with the most recent Enchanted Garden Update, they've absolutely fixed that sensation and made it far more addictive to play. The talent tree system and expanded options for the garden let you progress and unlock avenues that fit your playstyle and preferences a bit more, and let you more easily match any challenges you find. If you were sitting on this game for awhile, now is very much the time to jump in; and if you've got an old save you've been neglecting like I was, don't flinch and just wipe it to start fresh. You'll enjoy yourself far more!

Wilx100% (May 21, 2023) - It was pretty fun for a while, but after playing a good chunk of the game, it kinda just gets repetitive. Like you end up seeing the same characters with the same dialogue, end up making the same potions, end up going down the same path and yeah just gets repetitive. But that is mainly because I was trying to get all the achievements so it took A LOT of doing the same thing over and over again, over all its a decent game, I liked it. I would rate this game a 6/10.

This is a game for a very particular kind of player, the kind who's tired of the basic crafting systems in MMOs and RPGs that are only as complicated as "this item is made with these exact ingredients." If you were craving free-form alchemy systems like that of the Elder Scrolls where a single product can be made in multiple ways, where different items have properties that can be used in multiple different recipes, this is that -- on crack. Each ingredient in this game moves you somewhere on the 'alchemy map', steering you towards different possible potion effects. Some ingredients are more efficient and travel further than others, whereas others travel across the map in different directions to circumvent 'obstacles', in the goal of being able to reach desired potion effects. Previously completed recipes can be saved and made instantly, and a knack for organization pays off in dividends later. Some potions are simple, while the most complex could take upwards of five minutes to figure out a path to travel. As new ingredients become available, sometimes old potions can be made in new or better ways. Again, for people who crave the idea of using their creativity to solve problems in as elegant a fashion as possible, this game scratches that itch. However, the game does drag on towards the end. To make the game's final product and end-goal requires sinking almost a dozen unique and complicated potions, which don't serve any other purpose except to make those couple legendary items. Not to mention the reputation system which, while fine for most of the game, took me over a third of my total 'days spent' to get from reputation 12 to 15, most of it spent selling potions I had already mastered (not to mention customers with inane requests which take more time to complete than to reject and just help the next people). Also, the experience system is a bit 'whatever'. You can earn experience by 'exploring' the alchemy maps, making potions, or making sales, but it just comes in on its own without the need for much thought. I'm also wondering why there was only one extra alchemy map -- I thought the idea of getting the Oil base was neat, opened up lots more potion opportunities, and more maps could have opened some possibilities for the later levels when the game starts to feel repetitive. All in all, a game that largely feels like how a crafting system in a proper RPG should be, though without the whole RPG part -- it's like someone said "man, I really want to make a complex and interesting crafting system, but I'm never going to be able to make the rest of the game, so let's just make the crafting the game." It's great, *if* you're the crafter type who wants to sit, think, and solve open-ended puzzles. Oh, and herbalist girl is not romanceable. That was a let down too.
