### 5/5 — Hidden Gem

*2025-06-30*

This is a very straightforward game with cute graphics and a simple loop. Hire adventurers to gather loot for you, craft items by combining whatever they bring back, then sell these items in your shop to NPCs who wander past each of your displays. As you make more money, you can hire better adventurers. Beyond purchasing more display shelves, adding some square footage to the shop, or furnishing your bedroom (which occasionally provides minor in-game benefits), your only choice is which items to display and which shelf they’ll be displayed on. As far as I can tell, there is no way to change an item’s price or customize the appearance of your shop. 

It’s mostly an idle game where you are sending adventurers out and waiting anywhere from 1 minute to several hours to return with loot. That being said, when they do return, you can spend a decent amount of time crafting and displaying items in your shop, especially as you meet more adventurers for hire.

Though it would be nice to have a few more choices to make for the shop, this game is hard to criticize. For starters, it’s completely free. I’ve had it installed for a couple of days now. The are ads but they’re relatively non-invasive. There are not pop ups encouraging me to spend money. More importantly, the game does an incredible job at finding a balance that every good idle game needs. There’s enough here to bring me back to play for a bit, but it’s not so addictive that I want to speed things up. I’m not looking for the button that lets me pay a dollar to buy immediate loot or speed up the adventurers. Once I’m out of things to do, I’m happy to put it down for a while.

If you’re looking for an idle game that gives you some fun things to do when you check in, then definitely give this one a try.

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2025-04-21*

Replaying this game again
Found the game in 2018

### 1/5 — Very insulted.

*2024-08-19*

Game assumes my gender and calls me a cat. I IDENTIFY AS A DOG! after playing I went to therapy for 6 years and still have not recovered from the lack of trust that I put into this game. Maybe words to said to me. I don’t read cat so tutorial make no sense. (Not bad at all) actually kinda fun. Probably better with no ads.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-06-17*

I started playing this game when I was little, 5 years old, and have had a very strong emotional attachment to this game. It just reminds me of such good times and fun memories of playing this on late nights. Thank god I found it again, I’ve been looking for it for so long. I love this game so much, thank you :).

### 5/5 — Love this game.

*2023-01-23, version 6.0.6*

The obvious is not the obvious. And the obvious is obvious as well.

### 5/5 — Best Crafting Simulator Shop

*2021-06-03*

Atelier fans will love the game mechanics so much. I love mixing ingredients to craft items. Selling enough items to reach 30,000 can be difficult early. Later in the game it becomes more easy when more recipes are found and the final store is gained. For a small game that is endless, is a real treat.

### 5/5 — Simple and good with some ideas!

*2021-03-03*

It’s game with a simple task of crafting ingredients you get from adventurers. Definitely the type I would relax on a small freetime. Some of the combos are less obvious. Oftentimes, it’s common to get failed new combo results. 

Besides, I love to see more of the game. Maybe a new island to send out adventurers? Have a garden to grow herbs and make potions with them? Maybe discover new info on an location the adventurers encountered so far?

### 4/5 — Remove ADS?

*2021-01-30*

Great relaxing fun. Don’t like ADS.

### 4/5 — Needs more

*2020-12-06*

I love the game it’s great but it needs newer items and additions. Just giving an idea

### 5/5 — Fun and relaxing

*2020-09-17*

It’s a really fun game. Also relaxing
