Potion Permit

게임이 뭔가 그냥 전체적으로 포인트가 하나씩 빠져있는 느낌 스듀같은 게임기대하고 산 나로써는 좀 실망임 주민들이랑은 고백이 최종관계이벤트. 연인이되면끝난다 그 이후로 나오는이벤트도 없고 결혼도 못함 농사같은건 당연히 없고 한정된 필드 돌아다니면서 나무캐고 돌캐고 식물채집하는게 끝 돈 벌어도 기구를 업그레이드하는거 왜엔 쓸곳이없음 커스터마이즈기능도 캐릭터는 색깔바꾸는게 전부고 집안 가구도 ㅈㄴ적음 타이쿤게임같이 하려다가도 환자가 별로 오지도않고 요리시스템도 뭐..레시피 ㅈㄴ적음 전투도 뭐 전투관련 업글도없고 그냥 치고피하고가 전부.. 맵이 넓은건가하면 그것도아님.. 낚시는 뭐 하던말던..의미없는 수준이고 게임이 컨텐츠가 다 얕은데 방대하지도않음 솔직히 70%? 60%할인할때 사서 그냥 재밌다~싶은거지 정가주고 이거 할바엔 그냥 플래시 쥬디타이쿤게임하는게 더 나은듯 그냥 돌아다니면서 주민이랑 대화할수있는 타이쿤게임

Even if I tried I couldn't come up with a more boring game. You just grind everything, from materials, to reputation, to minigames. Only to get small tidbits of poorly written story from thoroughly uninteresting characters. You don't even get to make that many potions. Avoid.

Got soft-locked in the Mayor's office after an early quest. Couldn't leave the office after all dialogue. Not about to deal with a game that soft locks under the first hour.

The game was fun, but good lord, what is with the DLC prices? I'm all for spending a little extra to support the game, but that's some serious overpricing.

I’ve enjoyed the game so far! As a Steam Deck user, I am only 5.9 hours in at this moment, and I noticed that the button labels changed. I wouldn’t really care, but it’s made it difficult to use the map or craft potions. Hopefully that gets patched soon. Thanks!

I think that this game could be genuinely likable to someone, but it's not my personal cup of tea. I don't think this game is a Stardew Valley rip-off. To say that does a disservice to both games. As someone who really enjoyed Stardew Valley, the main similarity is that you live in a village and can develop relationships with them, which I don't think is a thing Stardew Valley came up with, lol. I believe that most people who like Stardew Valley would not like this game. There's a lot of different ways you can spend your in-game days in Stardew Valley... but there's only really one way you can spend your day in Potion Permit. You forage in the wilderness and then you can complete the daily tasks around the village. Fishing is eventually introduced to the game, but I personally find it too easy and too long for it to be something I prioritize. What distinguishes this game I think is it's various mini-games. But I don't like any of them. There's a rhythm game that... doesn't have any music? Or even a metronome? I think that was an interesting choice for sure. I find them all far too simple and repetitive. Although, I totally would have thought it was cool when I was 10 or something. I think this would be a great kid's game. I don't enjoy the villagers. It takes a very long time to level up to friendship and they only have 2 or 3 talking lines a level and it's not very interesting. There are 3 camps of villagers. One group are just nice people who are kind. Another group are people who hate you for no reason. And the third group of people are the ones who tell you that you should be nice and kind to the people who are discriminatory/racist/xenophobic to you and that they're actually really nice people, not bigots. I hate that third group more than words can express. I'm too old to think that's a good mindset. I would just leave or never talk to the rude people or be rude back in a real world situation. There's also no narrative reason for you to be there. The mayor's daughter gets sick and their witch doctor can't heal her, so you come in to heal her.... and then you just stay? And no one goes to the witch doctor anymore even though he's been treating the villagers for ages with considerable success? And people who hate you and distrust you and think you are up to no good go to you instead of the witch doctor? Even though the clinic is so dirty and messy and unmaintained that anyone who stepped foot in their would get tetanus immediately? Like, I would find the challenge of the jerk villagers appealing or at least tolerable... if you had a reason to stay there. Like if you actually had a mission or a purpose. But no you just steal all the clients from this loyal witch doctor who is still in town and well respected for no seeming reason at all. But I think the Chemist should just go back to the capital where she's appreciated omg I tried to give this game a good shot and finish it, but what eventually got me was the disproportionate material gathering. It's so easy to make money. It is very hard to get wood and stone (of which there are limited amounts you can harvest every day and no way to buy them), all three of which are needed for every single upgrade. So I find progression very unbalanced and frustrating. But some people enjoy repetition and schedules and the general rhythm of life. I just like a little more variety and polish than this game can offer. But as I said previously, when I was a kid I would have really enjoyed the simplicity and the dog, lol. But unfortunately, I think if you are an experienced gamer who enjoys a challenge or strategy, this game would not appeal to you. I'm sure some people who consider this game cozy or enjoy the repetition if they had a podcast on or something.

It took me way too long to realize this is a Stardew clone

A fun lil game. I loved the pixel graphics. I loved the potion making and the cast of characters. After the story was complete, things kinda slowed down. The last batch of achievements were a bit grindy. A fun experience over all. Would really recommend it.
