The Totemist

The Totemist is a narrative-driven shop simulator in which you run an occult shop in a town that feels slightly off. You gather and prepare materials, craft totems and talismans, and imbue them with power while helping customers carry the weight of everyday life. A growing mystery lies beneath the town, and you may be the only one who can see it coming.

Crafting and shopkeeping

You gather raw materials from the world around you and cleanse and prepare them with rituals inspired by real modern witchcraft. You craft totems and talismans, then imbue them with intention to give them unique effects and increased power. You also manage and expand your shop inventory.

The town and its companions

A small, handcrafted cast of characters reveals lives that are messier, warmer and stranger than they first appear. You see the world through soul energy rather than physical appearance. A crow keeps you company in the workshop, while a frog minds the storefront.

A growing mystery

The character-driven story follows the mystery hidden beneath the quiet town. The game has an average playtime of 5–8 hours and includes a lot of reading.
