About Potionomics: Masterwork Edition

Experience the magic of capitalism in Potionomics: Masterwork Edition, the fortified version of the enchanting game that alchemizes potion-crafting, business, deck-building, and romance.

After the untimely death of her uncle, a penniless witch named Sylvia finds herself the inheritor of a potion shop—and massive debt. Although Sylvia is barely a novice, it’s up to her to build up the business and save herself. Thankfully, she won’t have to go it alone. With help from some new friends, Sylvia will hone her negotiation skills, outsell her craftiest competitors, and make her shop THE number-one potion destination in Rafta. It’s all about mastering the finer points of Potionomics!

KEY FEATURES

Wheel and Deal – Negotiations can be tense when every coin counts, but you’ll manage Sylvia’s stress with ease by playing your cards right. Develop friendships with adventurers and other shopkeepers on Rafta to learn even more advanced negotiation tactics.

Recipe for Success – Choose the best ingredients to make even basic potions extraordinary, perfecting the taste and aroma to please your pickiest customers. But beware—if you aren’t careful, you’ll get some pretty gross results!

Fantastic Friends and Foes – Rafta, home to some of the world’s most potent magic, is packed with big RPG personalities, each seeking a leg up in their adventures. Befriend and recruit them to help you level up your own potion game, but don’t expect everyone to be friendly…

Your Shop, Your Rules – Make your shop really pop with customizable decor. Style points aren’t the only perk; decorating your shop just right can improve your prices, make better quality potions, and more!

Potionomics: Masterwork Edition and the Boss Finn DLC both launch on October 22nd. A limited edition physical boxset is available to pre-order and includes several physical goodies, such as a softcover art book featuring over 120 pages of beautiful art, a two-disc soundtrack, a pack of 12 character cards, and a beautiful custom box to contain it all.

If you’re impatient, the base game is available now on PC via Steam. But if you want an opinion on the game before you buy, you can also check out Jerry Williams’ review.
