    Potion Permit is a fresh new take on the popular genre -- it's a must-have for any wholesome game or farm simulator enthusiast.

    Potion Permit may not be the best life simulation or harvesting game you would play, but experiencing it shouldn’t be empty of pleasure.

    MassHive Media shines in constructing compelling stories and characters, and the idea of living the life of a budding pharmacist is undoubtedly original. Too bad about a gameplay loop that fails to escape repetitiveness, but this is a title that will certainly be appreciated by fans of unconventional life sims.

    There’s a lot to love about Potion Permit. It’s a game that, as mentioned, gives you a purpose, and does a great job of letting you experience the journey from total newcomer to heart of the community. It’s a perfect game for those seeking a relaxing, chilled-out experience - a tonic for a market filled with life sims that emphasise profit and efficiency. The only things lacking are a little difficulty to keep things interesting and some bug fixing to keep things running smoothly.

    Potion Permit has a great concept, but ultimately some quest issues and the sheer amount of grind make it a bit of a drag.

    A cutesy life sim game where you gather materials and keep villagers healthy. Potion Permit certainly has its own unique charm as you continue shaping the fortunes of Moonbury and its citizens. Unfortunately, it can get fairly monotonous later on.

    It is cozy and fun the first 2 o 3 hours, but then... It become boring and repetitive.

When it's not a game breaking bug or a progression bug it's one you simply freeze your character or remove the ability to interact with anything. I wish I could give it a better score because the game is fun, but for a v1.1 what are the devs where thinking. Never should they have release a game in this sorry state. Expand
