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!

This is genuinely a fun little game, with a meticulous alchemy system that's fun to explore...literally. If you can't tell from the screenshots and vids, your actions - adding/grinding ingredients, manipulating the potion base, etc. - are abstracted onto a little map. I'm not sure I've seen a crafting system this creative, before, especially with "alchemy" (where the usual approach I see is "throw ingredient in pot, see what item comes out"). Story's not really much to speak of, so the reasons to keep playing probably fizzle out once you're able to craft Philosopher's Salt. That said, that goal still takes a while (I wanna say it took me about...20 hours, maybe?), and it's fun practicing and refining your gameplay up until then. Word on the interwebs is that this game might(?) be abandoned by the developers ***SEE EDIT BELOW*** but even then this IS a finished game. I don't recall encountering any bugs, and it's definitely fun and feature-complete. EDIT: Happily, this wasn't true! The garden update is out now, and I'm playing it. With the new gardening mechanics and (even more importantly) the new Difficulty settings, I'm willing to call this game worth $20.

Played (and enjoyed!) this in early 2023. The developer was posting lots of news at the time of features to come. I eventually put the game down but came back to it in mid 2024 expecting dramatic changes, only to find it more or less the same as before. It's beautiful, and those first several hours of discovery are undeniably magical. But pressing onward, it's clear so much of this is a placeholder for content that just isn't here yet. Maybe we'll eventually get to see the dev's magnum opus, but until then, buy with the understanding that it's about 5 hours of novelty, followed by a not-unpleasant but ultimately aimless grind for a handful of new mechanics that are no longer useful by the time they're within reach. More detailed opinions regarding unlockable mechanics: When I first saw the developer teasing big new updates, I was averse to the idea of game elements dramatically changing on me. Now, a year on without any of those teased changes in sight, I'm impatient to see them implemented. The revamped skill tree and customizable garden would do wonders for fleshing out the mid- to late-game experience, as would adding things like purchasable cauldrons, spoons, mortars, etc. As it is, the gameplay loop is defined mostly by the gradual introduction of new ingredients. Minerals in particular are a big deal. But beyond that? Void Salt is a mostly unnecessary curiosity. Sun and Moon Salts are potentially game-changing but ponderous enough to produce that I didn't want to make liberal use of them. By the time Life and Philosopher's Salts showed up, the game had trained me for several dozen hours in how to obviate their need. However, give me a few new bases and potion types to pursue, plus a one-click solution to generate more of the rare regeants and salts, and the late game could feel just as compelling as the outset!
