It was fun at first, but it became boring pretty quickly. I really thought they were going to add additional story (like a visual novel aspect) with the addition of the other witches (possible friendship / love interest routes, for example — it didn’t have to be complex, a simple story for each of the witches would have been nice), but there was barely anything. It’s a cozy, clicker game and that’s it — if that’s …

I just finished Witchy Business from Rogue Duck Interactive, and I have to say.. This is easily their best game i played so far. 🌙🔮🕯️ from the first moment, it wraps you in the soft pastel vibes. You are running your own tiny potion shop, tending your sweet little garden, unlocking shop expansions, and yes… petting your absolutely precious cat (who you also can give all the treats he deserve, obviously lol). It …

I casually 100%ed it in 8h, so while the game is fine and art is cute, its not worth its price, get on big sales only if you want it

Honestly this wasn't a bad game, but I don't recommend it to everyone. Before buying you should know these: -The gameplay is about a cozy witch shop, not an adventure game. So it might can be too repeatative to others, new stuff after getting the game is hard to find, like converstations are once a day with two random witches. But instead you can learn making new stuff, and the game slowly gets harder. -because of …

**CUTE AND SIMPLE FOR WHAT IT IS** After finally completing the game and getting all the achievements, I would say the game is alright. It is extremely repetitive and some of its features could use more polish, but for what it is trying to be, I think it mostly works. I played on the highest difficulty and it still wasn’t much of a challenge, but honestly that seems acceptable for its target audience. Speaking of …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to give this game a positive review, but I have too many issues with it. In the game, you are a witch and you make potions, wands, and other witchy paraphernalia. You also grow plants and collect resources, and can talk to other witches and give them gifts to unlock bonus powers. All of this sounds way up a cozy gamer's alley, but I'm about 3 hours in and I'm wondering why I should even bother. There's not really a goal - i.e. you're not trying to make X amount of money before the bad…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would recommend this game for people who are fine with repetitive gameplay. I liked the look of it and the graphics, but over time it gets boring. It just wasn't for me. For what it's worth I think it should be less money. Most people play it for around 6-10 hours then rarely play. (At least that's what I've seen.) Yea it's a good game, but it's too repetitive, They should add more content.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Witchy Business is exactly the kind of cozy game I was looking for ♡ Running a magical little shop, crafting potions, cleansing cursed objects, and much more made for a relaxing gameplay loop that never felt stressful. I enjoyed how each day gave me something to work towards, from earning money and unlocking upgrades to building relationships with the characters around town. The art style is adorable and having a little cat keeping me company every day made the experience even cuter. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had a lovely time playing and completing witchy business. it's adorable and very straightforward, which is my favorite type of game to play mindlessly while watching something. I would honestly recommend any rogue interactive games, especially for achievement-hunters. also! >﹏< I made the mistake of wiping my data accidentally, near the end of my completion. I reached out to the devs for support via discord and they were super friendly and helpful! I'm super grateful that I was able to get my…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I purhcased this game based on the reviews and was really disappointed. I played for around 3 hours but grew bored of the game. While I enjoy a cozy game, I just thought this game was just a bit too simple and repetitive. Would not recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not cozy. The minigames don't control well. Stirring the potion is clunky, and despite trying multiple times I can't get 5 stars on the drawing one. Most of the customers during the day are filler. Lots of sheep you have to wake up, lots of thieves you have to scare off. They barely give you gold and are just a huge waste of time. The concept is great but the execution, not so much. Although, the art and character design are PHENOMENAL.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you love thematic grinding games that gradually add mechanics and offer many upgrades to ease your journey as you progress, I think you'll like this game! You choose a difficulty setting right away between cozy and hectic (which you CANNOT change later, so choose carefully)! I found the middle difficulty setting perfect for early- and mid-game, but it got boring late-game. The game doesn't emphasize how important it is to focus on reputation early because befriending the witches is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My stream might have dropped part of the way through but at least we got all the upgrades and more in one sitting on Witchy Business so I'll be free to pick another game next Tuesday. 🥰💕 Thankyou everyone who hungout and got to see the new cute daily redeem thing I set up yesterday. 💕

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game. I saw the complaints about it being too simple and thought I would move past it and figured it was the "turn your brain off" simple. And it was! But..it crossed the line for me. I personally hate how the majority of the mechanics were luck based. The only thing I could control was which plants to grow and what potions to try risk making. Even then, I had to GUESS what plants to grow based on my supplies and what I THINK guests would ask for unless I was late…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why is Witchy Business so dang GOOD. It has quickly become my brain off game. I love it 💜🧙♀️
positive · AI labelView post →I had found this game as a demo during one of the Steam Next Fests, and it was still just as cozy to play as I had found during the demo. You play as a witch that owns a shop, and you go about your day managing orders, saving cats, keeping out the burglar, and waking up the sleepiest of sheep. There is no storyline to the game outside of progressing and upgrading your shop and getting to know the witch coven, so it's really easy to just get into the swing of things and go through some…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Witchy Business sells a lovely cozy witch-shop fantasy, and on the art alone it delivers. The hand-drawn style is very charming: the shop, sanctuary and other locations look great, and if all you wanted was something pretty to look at, it definitely is. It's clear real care went into how this game looks. I especially love all the characters! Everything under the art is where it fell apart for me. The shop-running, potion-brewing and wand-making that's meant to be the heart of the game never…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very cute game!! i see quite a few reviews mentioning the game's repetitiveness, but i feel like that's what you sign up for when you buy a small time management/job sim game. it's nice to turn my brain off & play games like this. i love the witchy aesthetic & most of the characters seem unique & pretty to me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stirring potions absolutely sucks, and makes no sense. Even on cozy mode it's ridiculous. I've had potions that should have been 5 stars drop down because the mechanics for stirring are horrible. The devs put in an ADHD and Autism option to minimize repeating SFX and turns off alarms, but they failed to overlook dexterity. I'm 50/50 with recommending the game. I recommend it for people who don't have dexterity issues, and I don't recommend it for people with dexterity issues.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very cute game, but also extremely easy and kinda mindless. the art is amazing and the gameplay is fun up to a certain point but then it gets repetitive and kinda boring and I found myself only playing it to get all the achievements. I think it's the perfect game for kids honestly, definitely not worth $15

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a very cute and charming game, with great visuals, characters, sounds and music. Some might think it's a bit too repetitive but I don't mind that kind of gameplay personally. It's a nice game to play when you're stressed or just want to get away from the harsh reality we live in.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although I really love a lot about the game, there are some bugs and gameplay issues that would need to be addressed before I could suggest anyone buy the game. Potion making is a problem in particular. It does not always work in the first place, with the spoon picking up and setting back down or just freezing, and even when it is working properly the mechanic seems flawed and a little busted gameplay-wise. I in the forums that it wasn't a unique issue to me, but I add that peronally have an…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This may be one of my new favorite games! I LOVE the art style, the story is adorable, the gameplay feels appropriately witchy, challenging yet not frustrating, and I love that you can adjust the difficulty level! A true 10/10 for me. And you can pet the cat!

neutral · AI labelView post →I did not enjoy this game. It was not "turn your brain off" for me because there was a lot of tedious clicking around + time to beat? You have to be quick and remember things, click things the right way and FAST. It was honestly way too stressful and simplistic at the same time. Also, I really liked the graphics looking at it, but in game it seems like not much was done with it. Overall, I refunded this game. If you see my hours on other games, when I enjoy a game I play it A LOT. Not the case…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really cute, fun game about being a witch. It reminds me a bit of the old time management games I used to play on Big Fish Games. There's your shop, where you take care of customers by taking and fulfilling orders for wands, cursed/blessed items, and potions. You also de-goo-ify (?) cats, wake up sleepy sheep, take someone's fortune with a crystal ball, and hex thieves who are trying to steal your coins. Each shop day is just a couple minutes long. You also have a garden, where you can plant…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game!!! It's more than just making potions/wands/cursing/blessing as a witch! You sell them, interact with customers, be friends with other witches (or more, if you wanna headcanon that), have a garden, and it doesn't feel tedious at all 💝 THIS IS ME SPEAKING AS SOMEONE WHO PLAYS A LOT OF REPETITIVE COZY GAMES BTW—so for me, this isn't boring because you get to do more than just one or two things! The artstyle is cute, colorful, and it's easy to play. The achievements are also…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cute, the art is adorable and charming. However, would recommend getting this game on a heavy sale - there is very little content (dialogue is minimal, not many recipes) to justify pricing depending on regional currency. By the middle of the game you will end up doing a very boring gameplay loop just to finish up achievements because you can discover pretty much everything in the game before the midway point. As others have pointed out, some of the controls are very janky - and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was a fun little game. Potionmaking, wandmaking, enchant/curse poison or remove poison was fun. Same as trying to find out all the potions. You can also upgrade your shop and the garden and impürove your freidnship with the witches to make prep<ring stuff for the next day easier. The only thing I disliked was in the early game I got robbed way to much getting atleast 4 robbers a day.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute game, but I wouldn't pay the full price for this. I finished it in 10 hours. (I know it says two but I was offline for a bit). It's a fun little time waster while watching t.v on the side, but not all that engaging and there isn't much story either. i was hoping for a little more. Also they had 10 games released this year - I think that says a lot

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's very... okay, I suppose. I didn't hate playing it. Possibly the first couple hours were nice, but really it was just my drive for progression and then the closeness to fully completing it that made me keep playing. The game just feels very weird. It's very very simple. Even different recipies don't require different methods, just different ingredients. Everything is basically RNG. And I think the most confusing bit for me is that I can't tell if this is supposed to be a cozy game or not.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played for 6 hours and opened the game today to find it didn't save anything. Im never playing this game again, all that progress is gone.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I found this adorably meditative. The controls were fun and each upgrade felt exciting (especially the leaf picking one). My only complaint is that the relationships are pretty random to level up. I only have 4 achievements left and finishing them will be up to RNG. That said this is a fun game to randomly come back to so it's alright. If you leave and come back it can take a bit to get the hang of controls again even though they're relatively intuitive. Good game, had fun, small challenge,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →got it on sale. simple yet satisfying, the art style is cute. reminds me a lot of the flash games i would play growing up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super cute and chill witchy job sim. The art style is adorable! There's little to no story, and the gameplay gets stale very quickly. Not a lot of content for the price (Took me about 7 hours to 100%), so I'd definitely recommend waiting until it's on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very cute little game. Quite short it feels but thats not a bad thing, sometimes having a short game is just what you need. I've got a few other games by the dev team so I knew i'd enjoy this one too. The artwork is lovely and the little story is cute. Game play is fairly simple and not difficult to understand. its relatively easy to gain money in order to max out the upgrades. I played through on regular difficulty, there is an easy mode and a more hectic mode. I totally recommend if…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super cozy and genuinely fun, this game is perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The charming atmosphere and satisfying gameplay make it easy to get immersed. My only complaint is that I wish it had more hours of gameplay.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sounds cute, looks cute, but after around 1 hour of game play I'm already over it. It's very boring and needs a good quality of life improvement. Because the amount of time and space to need to drag your mouse around to get things done is insane and don't get my started with the stiring. I actually dread the shop/ selling part, the whole thing is tedious. No goal and no real point. If you're into potion making try Potion Craft, it's a lot better
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thanks for dropping by stream, checked out Witchy Business which is super cute and cozy and ended on Driftwood, also a pretty cool chill game. Enjoy your time zones, not sure when I'll be live next 🖤
positive · AI labelView post →This game is super cute and just a good lean back game, it's all clicking and bit of wrist movement but other than that. Super cute.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is really cozy and sweet, though if you're an achievement hunter it is better to start the game on a higher difficulty! I started the game on the lowest difficulty, and found myself with over 50% of the achievements within an hour. I would still play it again, on a harder difficulty, simply because I love the soft vibe of the store and the potion making.
