Éloïse Laroche, the sole developer behind this adorable title, has recently announced that she will be releasing her game on Steam Early Access this August, and can already be added to your wishlist. To get caught up with Alchemy Story, read our article about it here. Now let’s dive in to her Devlog post for the month of March 2019.
Day & Night Cycle
A welcome addition to the game is that of the transition from day to night. There are now wonderfully detailed animations of the sun in the morning sky and the stars at night.
The Fairykeeper
Jasmine Lightwing has a relationship with the fairies and will help us with gaining their trust as well! This means new areas to explore.
Forest & Lumber
You now have the ability to cut down trees and to collect the lumber. This and other upcoming features of things you will be able to do in the forest are as follows:
- Axe upgrades. These will allow you to cut down trees faster and lose less energy.
- Energy potions. You’ll be able to regain your energy without leaving the forest.
- Special levels. You’ll encounter unique forest levels.
- Hot air balloon. This will allow you to fast travel to a specific level.
The Garden
Another exciting update is that of the new garden features. Walk over to your crops and see their names as well as how many days are left until they are ready to harvest. This will make farming so much easier! Charlotte will have garden bed expansions for sale in her shop.
Moreover, some other character animations for Arabella and technical updates have been added such as the ability to zoom in and out with the camera. You can check out the details of the Devlog on the Patreon page here. If Alchemy Story piques your interest, stay tuned on our website for an upcoming review of the game!

This year is shaping up to be the year of the most amazing indie games ever released. Gems like Minekos Night Market and Ooblets are heading our way. The fun doesn’t stop here as Alchemy Story, a game about adorable creatures, magic and exciting adventure is another indie game on the horizon.
Alchemy Story is developed by Éloïse Laroche the sole programer and artist on the project. The game puts the player into a world where a village was stuck by dark magic, turning every villager into fluffy and most adorable animals. It is up to the player to help the professor in the town to revert the magic and turn the animals back into human beings.
Éloïse is currently offering a free Alchemy Story demo for windows and max for everyone to play and enjoy. Keep in mind that this is a very early stage of the game with plenty of more features to be added over time. Play as Arabella in the demo with a bunch of features already playable such as gardening, brewing potions, caring for chickens and cows, collecting fruit and so much more. If you can’t wait to hop in, grab the free demo over here. You may also support Éloïse on Patreon to help with the current development of the game.

Alchemy Garden is a relaxing simulation game where you brew potions, tend to your garden and run your very own alchemy lab and shop.
I thoroughly enjoy relaxing and laid back gaming and if you are reading this, there is a chance you do too! 🙂 Alchemy Garden fits those preferences like a glove. In this indie game created by MadSushGamesi, you will find yourself in a whimsical world with a small garden to begin with. You will have to grow your crops in order to gather enough materials to brew potions and become the greatest alchemist ever!
Your garden however is not the traditional garden you might be used to from games like Stardew Valley. It’s a magic garden where you grow magical ingredients to add to your cauldron.
Home Sweet Home!
You can also explore the huge land surrounding your home and go down deep in the woods to cut down some trees, should you be in need of some lumber. Alchemy Garden also invites you to decorate the outside of your house so unleash your creativity and create your very own magical little hideout.
Besides the busy lifestyle of running and Potion Shop, making magic and more, you need a little place to call your home. You will start out with a small house to yourself. You are free to decorate the inside as well as the outside of your plot in any fashion you like. Place furniture, plants and more to really give it a ‘homie’ feel!
Potion Making And Shopkeeping
Potions can help you with daily chores. With your first harvest you can try out different recipes to make different potions and apply them to your crops to see what they will do. Certain recipes will create all sort of potions with unique effects. But be careful, magic can be dangerous!
The game offers a rich variety of crafting and potion making. Gathering needed materials for all the things you’d like to make is as much fun as it is rewarding!
You may end up having more potions then you need and instead of storing them inside your home, you can put them on the shelves in your own potion shop! Nearby villagers will be happy to drop by and check out your store. Gold that you earn from trading your items can be used to acquire new bag of seeds or you may want to spend it on furniture to make your home even nicer and cozier!
Alchemy Garden finally available on Steam now and for only $8.99 it was one of the best game purchases I have made in a long time. If you are still on the fence for the game you can also download a free demo right now!
If this got you excited about potion making, I recommend taking a look at Witchbrook, the Stardew Valley of magic, a game from Chucklefish, as well as the much beloved Alchemy Story!

Islands, villagers, and jellies – oh my! Those are three things we here at myPotatoGames love, and Alchemic Cutie wraps them all into one, well, cute package. Developers Vakio and Viridian Software along with slime-loving publisher CIRCLE Entertainment are behind this new wholesome adventure RPG.
About Alchemic Cutie
The game is set on Wimba Island, a bright pixel world that reminds us a bit of Littlewood and Stardew Valley’s Pelican Town. So far, it seems like there are beaches, forests, the main village, and a Jelly Shrine.
Instead of farming, you will be taming slime-like creatures called “jellies.” There are over 4,000 visual styles for jellies and each jelly will have unique traits and statistics. They will also have needs like hunger, energy, and happiness. You will be able to show off your jellies by entering them into different competitions.
You can also meet Wimba’s villagers to form friendships – or rivalries!
One exciting and unique feature will be the world map. To help you navigate, the map expands as new locations are discovered. What makes this feature unique to similar games is that, once a place has been visited, you can use the map to fast travel there.
Game Features:
- Level Up: There are Alchemy and Jelly raising systems in place for you to master.
- Competitions: A total of 8 contests will allow you to show off your Jelly raising skills.
- Share Away: Special codes mean you can share your jellies with others!
- Complex Characters: Wimba Island villagers are described as “goofy, fun, and sometimes complicated.”
- Modders Welcome: There will be release day support for modding.
Here’s the announcement trailer:
Alchemic Cutie will be released for PC later this year. It will be available on Steam and Itch.io. There is a blog for DevLogs on the website and a Youtube with “Jellycasts” where you can listen to developers Sebastien and Thomas talk about game details and history. You can also signup for “Cuties Club” updates via the website.
Can’t wait to play with slime-like creatures? We recommend Slime Rancher!

It was only yesterday that we received news about the next Story of Seasons Switch game, as well as more details about the spin off game Doraemon Story of Seasons. Fans are wondering if the adorable game will make its way to the west after its release on June 13th of this year.
Today a rumor has emerged that a localization trademark for the game might be underway. As Malaysian retailer Impulse Gaming wrote on their Facebook page a Chinese version “will not be too far away from the Japanese version.” Furthermore the retailer states that other territories such as the US, an English version is currently planned and slated for a release in Q4 2019.
While we are still waiting for an announcement from Marvelous, the studio behind Doraemon Story Of Seasons, the Malaysian retailer has often been proven right in the past and given the popularity of the Story of Seasons franchise, it is to assume this game will make its way to the west sooner rather than later.
If you love farming game as much as we do, make sure to check out Alchemy Story, an indie game inspired by Story of Seasons, Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing with the most adorable visuals, cute animals and so much more! We are also giving away copies of the game for you and one friend, so make sure to take part in this event!

Marvelous games has finally dropped the ball on the long awaited and much anticipated Story of Seasons Switch game. The farming sim was first announced when the Nintendo revealed the Switch back in 2017. Since then Marvelous has been extremely quiet about the next installment in the series.
While no details for Story of Seasons Switch have been revealed (sigh) the studio at the very least acknowledge the game is still in development, as after years of silence fans were wondering if the project had been cancelled. This update comes as a relief as even we at myPotatoGames started speculating when the game could get released on the Switch.
In the interview with Gematsu, Marvelous also discussed the upcoming crossover game between Story of Seasons and Doraemon – Doraemon Story of Seasons. The studio revealed that the project for the crossover game was founded by Koji Nakajima, who prides himself of being a huge fan of Harvest Moon: Back to Nature – one of the highest rated games in the Harvest Moon franchise.
Furthermore Marvelous revealed that Doraemon Story of Seasons features a real storyline unlike the original Story of Season which is designed to be more of a sandbox farming simulator. The main focus of the crossover game will be on family and the love for one’s family. Check out some more details from the interview below!
- Doraemon Story of Seasons is a project that was launched by Bandai Namco’s Koji Nakajima, who was a fan of Harvest Moon: Back to Nature.
- Unlike past Story of Seasons titles, Doraemon Story of Seasons has a proper main story (as opposed to just working on the farm).
- The theme is family, and the main story focuses on love for one’s family.
- Working on the ranch is the player’s main task, and at first the farm work will be quite hard.
- Doraemon’s secret gadgets will help resolve the things that “inconvenience you” in Story of Seasons.
- The “At Gungun,” which causes crops to grow immediately, is an expendable item, so it cannot be used carelessly.
- Other than Doraemon Story of Seasons, work is underway on a new Story of Seasons game, according to Marvelous’ Hikaru Nakano.
Doraemon Story of Seasons is coming to Nintendo Switch on June 13th of this year, with a western release still in the open.
A first commercial and some adorable screenshots have recently been released for Doraemon Story of Seasons. If you would like to revisit the initial announcement and reveal trailer for the game head right over here.
For more farming games, check out Alchemy Story, a beautiful and super cute farming game much like Harvest Moon, we are currently also giving away free codes for this game for you and one of your friends.

Explore the World, Gather Ingredients, and Make Potions
I stumbled across Alchemist: The Potion Monger from developer Art Games Studio S.A. back in February during Steam’s Next Fest. I honestly downloaded the demo based on the title and picture alone, and was not disappointed.
This beautiful first-person RPG allows you to create your character, but you’re no ordinary human. In fact, you play as an anthropomorphized animal! Choose from several different animals like cats, snakes, or goats. Pick a name that suits your new character, and don’t forget to choose a name for your trusty dog
Alchemist: The Potion Monger starts with you moving to a new town, and has you actually unpack your cart to begin setting up your house. Then it moves into teaching you the basics of potion-making.
You’ll have to explore the world to gather ingredients, then use your cauldron to make potions. You can sell those potions, use them to complete quests, or use them for yourself. Need to jump super high for some reason? There’s a potion for that!
Each ingredient you find in the wonderfully crafted world of Alchemist: The Potion Monger will have alchemical aspects. You’ll learn them as you play, and can access your found knowledge in your alchemy book. Plus, your cute little dog isn’t just there for looks. They’ll help you discover those alchemical aspects of ingredients.
Not to mention, you get to pet the dog. You’ll level up your alchemy through discovery. You’ll also learn new skills through challenges, get a chance to help NPCs, fight some slime monsters, and much more.
Coming Soon!
Unfortunately, Alchemist: The Potion Monger doesn’t have a specific date listed for release. The developer’s website lists the release as 2023, though! You can find the game on Steam, where you can add it to your Wishlist.

Time for a super magical iteration of the myPotatoGames Best Cute Games series!!
There is never a short supply of endlessly cute games out there, especially ones that contain a magical element in some way, shape or for. Be it crafting potions, learning spells, taming beasts, flying on broomsticks; you can be darned sure that there is always something amazing to do in a world where nothing is impossible! Use the powers inside you to change the world for good, or bring it to its knees before you, it is usually up to you. Well, here are a few games that let you experience first hand the day to day life of your average (or excellent) witch or wizard.
Serin Fate
In Serin Fate you play as a Witch and therefore you are in possession of some magical powers. As you begin playing the game you will start learning new spells that can help you on your journey. The small development team behind the game states that inspiration was taken from games such as “Pokemon, Harvest Moon, Runescape, and Chrono Trigger.” Serin Fate offers a wide variety of tasks that remind me a lot of Fantasy Life that also offers a wide variety of things to do. In this game however, you can freely choose where you’d like to dedicate your focus and time towards to. Feel like crafting some new armor to protect yourself on your next adventure? or maybe instead build some furniture to restore your hut? The choice is always yours. (more info)
Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time
For those unfamiliar with Little Witch Academia, entries to the series take place at Luna Nova Academy, a school for witches in training. The protagonist of the franchise is Akko, an optimistic and energetic (albeit slightly impulsive) Japanese girl who comes from a non-magical background. In my opinion, this is similar to the various Harry Potter characters that come from a Muggle family. Chamber of Time offers players the ability to uncover the various mysteries of Luna Nova Academy. The game features the lovable protagonist Akko, as well as a variety of her friends. Players can explore dungeons, cast spells and use various magic to discover the seven wonders, as well as to resolve the mysterious time-shit that has occurred. (more info)
Spellcaster University
In Spellcaster University, you take on the role of the director of a magic university in a heroic fantasy world. Build your school, manage your budget, recruit teachers. Will you make it a high place of black magic, with the best necromancy and demonology teachers? Or a school in harmony with nature to train druids and shamans? Or why not train adventurous mages, offering them options to learn how to fight and be discreet? But this will require surviving the ruthless attacks of the orc tribes and the controls of the education authorities. (more info)
Potion Paws
Potions Paws is created by the developers of Garden Paws; Bitten Toast Games. It’s a shorter standalone game with a spooky theme that includes potion-crafting and dungeon-crawling.

We backed this project right away and wanted to point at that the higher tiers will include a pet black cat with a cape! See below for a summary of the Kickstarter page. (more info)

Despite criticism for its striking resemblance to Animal Crossing games, Magician’s Quest offers plenty of unique features for players to enjoy. Examples include: monthly quests during ‘Mystery Time’, dates with other students, the ability to form a band, getting to prank others (and be pranked), plus many more amusing quirks. (more info)

Guildlings is a story driven RPG game where you user kindness and magic to overcome any obstacle. Magic, Wizards and a world filled with mysterious characters always sounds good to me and that is exactly what Guildlings is trying to capture.

The game currently available on Apple Arcade ( the Netflix for mobile games on Apple devices )features a a wide array of things to do. You can interact with various people you meet on your journey using what appears to be a text message based communication system much like… well texting on your phone! (more info)
Calico
Calico came about due to the game developer’s obsession with cats, magical girls and fluffy animals. However, wanting to create a game that would appeal to everyone, she also included creatures such as lizards, birds, deer, raccoons, dogs, turtles, red pandas, foxes, etc. She then shares about how she wanted to publish a game that would make players feel ‘soft, happy, cuddly and cozy’. If that wasn’t wholesome enough, she has said in an interview that she just wanted to create a game where the only goal is to have the best time possible. (more info)

In Lawmage Academy, you live in a world that is protected by magical lawyers called Lawmages. They defend the community from some of the more malevolent magical forces that roam the land.

Platformers are always a great escape from the bigger games that can sometimes overcomplicate things. In the game, you play as a team of two rookie magicians who have been trapped between two dimensions. Your lack of knowledge in regards to magic is what gets you trapped in the first place, we’ll see how it helps you get out!

A simple yet enthralling story that I can’t wait to enjoy. (more info)
Alchemy Story

These new additions include: more villagers and their cute animal forms, mining and fishing, farm expansions, the Market, and our personal favorite feature; character outfit and hairstyle customization. Now you can play the most recent version of Alchemy Story on Steam Early Access right here starting today (August 22nd, 2019)! We here at myPotatoGames can’t wait to delve deeper into this magical and whimsical world and free the spellbound villagers from their curse. See below for a list of the newest features as well as the most updated trailer. (more info)
A Hat in Time
A Hat in Time is a very cute 3D adventure platformer featuring a little girl in a big top hat, known simply as “Hat Kid”. Hat Kid’s goal is easy to sympathize with: she wants to get home. But as she is on her way there, the Mafia of a nearby planet attack her ship when she won’t pay their ‘toll’. All of her ship’s fuel (magical hourglasses called ‘Time Pieces’) is scattered to the world below. She must gather them all up before she can resume her journey. Looks like she’ll need to look pretty hard! (more info)
