Essentially the alchemy version of Stardew Valley. Potion Permit is essentially a game where you play a budding chemist sent to the town of Moonbury to treat the mayor's daughter. Most of the ingredients you need for creating potions are done by going into the forest and harvesting plants, rocks and trees, or even by killing monsters.

The only thing I didn't like is that time seems to pass really fast, and you have to do everything yourself. I'm still early in the game, so hopefully, there will be some automation or even people you can hire to go into the forest on your behalf in the future.

The game design is reminiscent of the old RPGs from the PS2 gen, and gives a nostalgia kickback to those times. Played it on the Switch and on Steam. Probably because it's in the early phase still, there is some dropping of framerate at different points of the game.

Overall, give it a 9.5/10.
