Magic Shop Simulator

Magic Shop Simulator is a first-person, open-world voxel game about running and defending a magic shop. You forage for ingredients, brew potions, sell them to village customers and protect the shop from monsters drawn by the scent of magic.

Gather and brew

Explore the grasslands for Firebloom, the areas by the trees for Glowshroom, the beaches for Moonpetal and the stone hills for Crystal Shard. At the shop, use your cauldron to brew potions. You begin with the Healing Tonic recipe and can unlock nine more as your shop grows.

Serve the village

Customers arrive from opening to closing, each looking for a specific potion and having limited patience. Stock the shelves, ring up sales and build your reputation. As the shop expands, it can grow from a cramped Small shop into a grand Large emporium with room for everything you brew.

Defend the shop

Four ward stones keep monsters out, but their charge fades as you play, and maintaining them is your biggest expense. You can let a ward lapse and open the shop anyway: a breach sends creatures into the plaza, scatters customers and damages your reputation. The monsters also drop rare ingredients that you would otherwise have to seek out in the wilds, so you can deliberately weaken the wards to lure them in and farm loot at the cost of safety and sales.

Reputation milestones bring mini-bosses and their escort packs to your storefront. Reaching the top rank, Master Shopkeeper, attracts an ancient wyrm, which lays siege to the shop in a multi-phase dragon fight designed to challenge a fully upgraded shop.

Hire a crew

You can hire five visible familiar workers: the Forager, Brewer, Cashier, Herbalist and Beastkeeper. They work around the shop, and you can assign workers to forage, brew and run the till so the business continues while you hunt. When a breach begins, they leave their tasks to fight alongside you.

Expand your homestead

Build garden plots and creature pens so you can produce ingredients without starting from scratch each time. You can also buy permanent upgrades with gold; they remain in place as your shop grows.
