About Witchy Business
Witchy Business lets you run a hand‑drawn witch shop where you brew potions, craft wands, and sell magical goods. You move between the bustling shop and a tranquil garden sanctuary, harvesting herbs, minerals, and oddities while keeping customers happy.
The game mixes casual mini‑games with strategic shop‑management, offering both a relaxed mode and a chaotic mayhem mode. Upgrades, reputation, and a rotating bazaar keep each week fresh, and you can customize your witch and store to match your play style.
01 / THE GUIDE
Potion Crafting
You create potions by combining plants, minerals, and oddities in a specific order. Mini‑games let you brew the perfect batch or attempt a dangerous experiment.
Recipes can be followed or discovered through experimentation, and successful brews unlock new recipes and powerful wands that can be sold for profit.
- Try following known recipes first to build reputation quickly.
- Experiment with ingredient order for unique potions that may fetch higher prices.
02 / THE GUIDE
Customer Management
Customers arrive with specific potion requests, fortune‑telling inquiries, or shady intentions. You must pick up orders fast before patience wears thin.
Thieves may try to steal coins, but you can convert them into frogs with quick‑click hexes, and a happy familiar helps keep the counter clean.
- Prioritize orders with low patience to avoid losing customers.
- Use hexes promptly when thieves appear to protect your earnings.
03 / THE GUIDE
Shop Upgrades
The shop can be upgraded to suit your aesthetic and functional needs. Upgrades improve your ability to serve customers and increase the variety of items you can display.
Your reputation influences the world around you, and a higher reputation unlocks new potion recipes and changes the environment.
- Invest in upgrades that increase counter space early on.
- Monitor reputation changes to anticipate new recipe unlocks.
04 / THE GUIDE
Exploration & Gathering
Leave the shop to harvest flowers and herbs, explore nature for oddities and minerals, and meditate at the shrine for bonuses. The surrounding world changes based on your reputation.
The Bazaar offers a rotating stock of ingredients, encouraging regular trips to find rare components for your brews.
- Visit the shrine regularly to earn useful bonuses.
- Check the Bazaar daily for rare ingredients that can unlock special recipes.
05 / THE GUIDE
Difficulty & Modes
Adjustable difficulty lets you choose a relaxed mode for a chill experience or a mayhem mode for high‑stakes profit. The game supports mouse‑only play and can be saved anytime.
