About Magical Greenhouse
Magical Greenhouse is a laid-back simulation game where you run a potion shop catering to fantasy-world oddballs. Developed by Mgtt Studio and released on November 4, 2025, it blends resource management with alchemy. You grow plants, brew potions, and satisfy eccentric customers like trolls and wizards. The PC and Mac indie title focuses on customization, experimenting with hundreds of ingredients to meet wild requests. It’s a chill experience for players who enjoy methodically building systems and tweaking recipes. Think Stardew Valley meets alchemy labs, but with fewer farm animals and more glowing vials.
Gameplay
Your days revolve around tending greenhouses, harvesting herbs, and mixing potions in a lab. You track ingredient freshness, manage inventory, and upgrade equipment to handle bigger orders. Clients arrive with requests like “a potion to confuse goblins” or “something to regrow a lost ear.” Crafting involves combining three to five items in a specific order; trial and error is key. Time management matters as impatient customers leave if you take too long. Later, you unlock fermentation tanks and distillation tools to refine processes. The interface feels intuitive but can get cluttered. Sessions typically last 30, 60 minutes, with progression measured by recipe diversity and shop profitability.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.2/5, with 87% completing the game. Average playtime is 23 hours, though 116 achievements exist for perfectionists. The mood is overwhelmingly Relaxing (92%) and Creative (88%). Critics on Metacritic gave it an 82, praising the potion system’s depth but noting repetitive tasks. One user wrote, “The 300+ potion combinations keep things fresh, but the same music loops for 10 hours.” Completion rates drop after hour 30, suggesting a slight slowdown in late-game content. Still, 74% of players return for a second playthrough, drawn to different customer scenarios.
PlayPile's Take
Magical Greenhouse is a solid 20-hour diversion for sim fans who like tinkering over action. At its launch price of $24.99, it offers decent value, especially with achievements rewarding thorough experimentation. While the repetitive client loop may wear thin, the sheer variety of potion recipes and shop upgrades keeps it engaging. Skip if you crave fast-paced gameplay or dislike inventory management. Otherwise, it’s a cozy, brainy pick for rainy afternoons and potion-obsessed puzzle lovers.
