The game runs decently on the Steam Deck. It stutters during loading screens, but otherwise, it runs at a constant (capped) 40 FPS on high settings. Interacting with the game is primarily using the trackpad, like a mouse. Proper gamepad support would be nice. It's kinda there, but mostly doesn't work properly.

As for the game itself, it's a potion crafting/management sim with deckbuilding gameplay, with an actual story, which is a first. There are goals to achieve and an actual reason to make potions. The devs also clearly put a lot of time into the art and animations, and it shows.

The frequent loading screens are slightly annoying, and making potions can become tedious after a while. I would like to be able to save custom recipes and automatically have those ingredients put in the cauldron with a click.
Time management can also be kind of stressful. It would be nice to have a more relaxed (easy?) mode so that you can take more time to talk to other vendors, hang out and rank up your relationships with them - instead of having to sacrifice that time to make and sell potions because you're broke.
Also, it would be nice if you could actually keep some of the prize money when you win a competition, lol.

Overall though, I'm enjoying the game. I hope it receives some quality-of-life updates - especially my custom recipe suggestion - but on the whole, it's charming, and the characters are fun to get to know. Mint is a cutie. I'm looking forward to experiencing the rest of the game's story.
