This is a delightfully comfortable game that I always fall back on when I tire of the other games I'm playing. Once you burn through the tutorials, it becomes an easy game to pick up and play, as you explore your map by mixing ingredients gathered from your garden (or purchased from merchants), in order to discover new potions to brew and gain XP. What's the goal? There are many to achieve, but the main premise, is that you are an alchemist who opens a potion shop, helping patrons with their everyday problems, from noble, to perhaps even evil. They ask for a specific potion, and it's your job to make it. Don't have the potion they are looking for? Then it's time to get back to the drawing board, and explore your map in order to find new potions. It's a routine that has you playing through in game "days", as you wake up, gather your ingredients, and open your shop. It's a lovely game, with beautiful Celtic inspired music and artwork to immerse you into its enchanting world of potion crafting. $15 well spent!
