After being released on PC and Xbox, Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator is heading to PlayStation consoles and Nintendo Switch in early 2023.
The exact launch date is to be revealed after the holidays, along with details of major content updates arriving to the game.
In the game, players take on the role of an alchemist in a bustling fantasy town. The players are there to provide whatever it is the townsfolk need. It can be something as dangerous as a fast-acting poison requested by a rogue or something to help an adventurer withstand dragon-fire. Just remember that while brewing potions is important, it’s just as important to get a profit out of all these.
There’s no question that alchemy is complex but as the shopkeeper, players need to also have charm. The potions are only as good as what people believe they’re worth. Thus, players need to become a master of haggling. The trick is to learn what each customer likes or dislikes and barter their way to profit and fame.
