Witchy Business

Witchy Business is a cozy simulation game in which players run a witch shop, gathering ingredients, brewing potions and serving customers. Play alternates between the peaceful Sanctuary, where herbs, flowers, minerals and Oddities are collected and rituals performed, and the Shop, where potions, wands and other magical items are crafted and sold.

Core gameplay involves following or experimenting with recipes by combining plants, minerals and Oddities in specific orders, using mini-games to brew potions and craft items. Customers arrive with requests for potions, fortune-telling or other services, requiring quick order fulfilment before their patience runs out. Thieves may also appear in the shop and can be turned into frogs using timed hexes. Reputation is affected by service speed, shop cleanliness and familiar happiness, and can be spent on shop upgrades. Ingredients can also be purchased from a Bazaar with rotating stock.

The game features hand-drawn art, a range of craftable items and recipes, and a cast of witches to encounter. Two playstyles are available: a relaxed mode for calmer play and a mayhem mode focused on faster-paced, profit-driven gameplay. Character customisation options are included, along with companion cats that require feeding and have varying patience levels.
