I'm really tired of all of these cozy games being so stressful. When I'm looking to play something cute and cozy I don't want to be racing the clock and on edge trying to get things done in a certain time frame. I feel like this is happening more and more lately where good game ideas that are cute are being ruined by being so competitive for no reason. I won't be playing more of this game.

Just want to preface this review with the fact that I love the game but there is one issue people may not think about. If you are looking for a somewhat challenging game with a timer and hazards to manage along side your minion crafting this game is great, however, the game's difficulty and time/ task management ramps up pretty quickly on day 4 primarily due to the leaks that happen (I had a few runs where they …

It is incredibly stressful, but the visuals are so cute and the music is so catchy that I don't mind too much. The recipes are nice and fun. Moving around the map makes sense and the stress comes from making mistakes in your movement while on the timer. Definitely a good time if you are looking for single player Overcooked with witches instead of food. https://youtu.be/rCH6K5LPIm4

This is a charming little game. The art is adorable. I'm about 70 min into the game and my kids are watching me play (and backseat driving lol). 5 minutes in I'm already thinking about how to min-max this thing. A great palette cleanser to play in between heavier games.

I completely fell in love with the little witch! This time management game is pure magic. It's super cute, has gorgeous pixel art, and the music and sound effects? Absolutely chef's kiss!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is cute and has a great concept but I couldn't get past day 4 no matter how many times I tried. There's no difficulty settings and there aren't hints when you can't get past a certain day. Also anytime new things were added like the leaky pipe it happened to be at night when the game is harder. You also can't prep even a single minion before starting the day unless you had one left over in the box from the previous day which simply isn't going to happen. I played the demo for this game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love time management sims, but this one is AWFUL. The movement is clunky. No way to prep before each level, or even before the night shift where the game gets harder. The customers lose their patience extremely fast, the time limit for each level is super short (especially at night), and the challenge levels are just a nightmare. It is just not fun to play, I simply cannot recommend this one at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to like this game, but I don't even have to play that long to know it's not great. The controls are very clunky, the way the witch moves is horrible and more suited to a controller than a keyboard. You can't prep anything before opening which is stress inducing since even on day one when you're still 'training' it's very hard to get orders out before people just leave.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'd recommend this game if you enjoy walking slow, getting hit with projectiles, getting hit with Nice projectiles by friends (animals), and slipping on just about everything. This game, visually, appears like a casual, cozy experience for the low-key gamer. This is a simple farce. Only the most seasoned gamer and emotionally stable person may complete this game in its entirety, let alone go on to do Challenge Mode of their own free-will, dare I say 'enjoyment.' Tiny Witch simulates being a…

Tiny Witch has a bit of a story to help frame the game and give an explanation for what’s going to happen. You play as a young witch named Sophie in a world where magic exists. Sophie, in particular, loves to craft minions and she always dreamed of owning her own little shop to sell them. She hasn’t exactly made any progress in her dream, but one day she is approached by a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to love this game but so far it has been crashing on me several times along with my save file just not working. The game difficulty is a bit high with customers patience wearing thin pretty fast. I wouldn't mind this so much but the demo prior to release was a lot more relaxed than this. Unfortunate, I really did want to enjoy this game :(

neutral · AI labelView post →Basically just a diner dash-style time management sim...but I'd rather play diner dash. The game is meant to be played with a controller so the keyboard options aren't great. It feels slow and clunky, and there is a glitch or oversight with the game where it doesn't actually show you new recipes as they become available, and won't put it in the recipe book until after you've made it. My hand cramped up playing this game and it wasn't worth the pain >.< Maybe once they have made this a little…

My soul was already sold out the moment I laid eyes on his tiny paws and fluffy ears! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3038150502 So that's how the journey of the little witch Sophie began. Underestimated by everyone since she can't speak. She now has the chance to fulfill her dreams of owning and managing a store to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I haven't the faintest idea why people seem to think this game is hard--I have so far made it all the way to the Forest level without failing even a single order AND the last two days I spent the second half of the timer literally turning away to do something else because I'd finished the orders so fast--but I also spent most of my college life hiding in my dorm room playing time management games on BigFishGames and this is absolutely no more complex than Diner Dash used to be back in the day.…

neutral · AI labelView post →I wish the game had more levels and stuff because i ended it so fast. Also i wish it was multiplayer because it would be more fun! I payed kinda a lot for this game because i live in Brazil, for only 3 hours of gameplay, it's kinda sad. I loved the game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a great week. Wild Game, Grace of God and a new Silent Witch main line volume. Plus EXP is Golden and the Tiny Witch. Plus the new ones sound interesting as well.
neutral · AI labelView post →This game is pretty engaging, although it's not slow paced - you have to stay on your toes all the time. I understand people thinking it would be a more laid back experience because of the "Cozy" tag, so if that's what you want, you'll probably be annoyed by the continuous sense of urgency. I guess it's a thing of personal taste. The levels are short which allows you to take breaks quite often so I don't agree with the people that say it's too difficult.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tiny Witch is a charming little game with adorable art, and I especially loved the cute sound effects when preparing the ingredients. I also really enjoyed how each region introduces different recipes, which keeps things interesting. However, I found it frustrating that you can’t prepare ingredients or recipes before opening the shop or even during the transition between day and night shifts. The movement also feels a little strange at times, although I imagine it might feel better with a…

neutral · AI labelView post →Very fun little game! I went in expecting just a shop sim, but this is actually more akin to Overcooked or Moving Out. Very hectic, and very time sensitive! So if you're not looking to optimize and rush around then this isn't for you. But if you ARE into that, then this is a fun game with a good amount of levels and lots of customization!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a good game, the pixel art is very beautiful and it's fun to play seeing the cute little witch. The ingredients are funny because it represents every type of monster among other objects and organs. The ghost sounds are the best.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute, fast paced little store management game. It has the perfect balance of fun, chaos and difficulty to keep you on your toes, but not so much as to frustrate you. There aren't a lot of punishments for failing to meet your goals for the day, and the game allows you to keep trying if you do miss them. My only gripe is the music can be a little annoying. It doesn't really stand out, but for a cute game like this, I think I just expected cuter music too. But I really enjoy playing it!

Instead of operating a bakery, restaurant, or farm, players step into the shoes of a young witch whose business revolves around creating creatures and minions for a steady stream of dungeon masters. The concept is immediately charming because it flips the traditional fantasy perspective on its head. Rather than becoming the…

I prefer the click and run type then this because forcing the character to move and aim with a controller or keyboard to pick up and activate items is a bit more frustrating then it should be. I would recommend this game but wait till its on sale.
