Alchemist: The Potion Monger

About

In Alchemist: The Potion Monger, you run a potion-making business from your home lab. Explore the world to collect ingredients, craft potions, and trade with NPCs who react to your choices. Build and decorate your house, tend a garden, and shape your reputation through moral decisions. The game blends resource management with role-playing, letting you prioritize profit, altruism, or mischief. Single-player only, with a focus on open-ended progression. Released April 3, 2024, this title from Art Games Studio balances crafting depth with light simulation elements. Players appreciate the flexibility to approach tasks however they want, though some note the lack of structured goals. Available across PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Switch, it leans into cozy RPG vibes without overwhelming complexity. The simplicity of its systems makes it easy to pick up but hard to put down for some.
