We're happy to announce that the development of our magical and cozy retail management sim, Alchemist Shop Simulator, has come to a conclusion and there's only a bit over 2 weeks of wait before the FULL release (that's right - no Early Access).

We aimed to expand and improve on the popular concept of shop management games by giving it some more immersive mechanics (like potion brewing, gardening, little story-quests) and a vibrant, funny, fantastical world. We'd love to hear from you - did we succeed?

For the last several months lots of Steam players tried the demo (currently enjoying 100% positive rating!) and provided us with feedback. Some content creators who already got their hands on on the full game preview copies have been in touch with us as well. Thanks to all the amazing people who played the game and took their time to give us their thoughts we've been able to improve on the initial state of the game immensely. We'll be launching a far superior game to what we originally had in mind - all thanks to the wonderful community of Steam players.

This also called for...


The Alchemist Shop Simulator Demo has undergone an extensive revamp as well. What everyone will play now, at Steam Next Fest is fully representative of the current state of the full game, so you can have a real taste of the alchemist's world and life in magical retail. Just mind the fact that the demo will be going away soon after the Next Fest ends (but probably not immediately).

Please enjoy the demo and remember to wishlist the full game, so we can remind you when it launches. This will additionally benefit you because we do plan to run a release-week discount for the game (which will be regularly priced at $11.99).


Upon completion of our Alchemist Shop Simulator, Kool2Play now puts its focus on its tropical follow up - Pirate Cove Simulator. No worries - this doesn't mean we're not planning on updating Alchemist Shop Simulator. On the contrary - we look forward to all the post-release feedback, as it will give us opportunity to improve and expand BOTH of the games.

Pirate Cove Simulator will be getting its own demo soon - no later than April - when we're satisfied that it includes everything we've learned during and soon after the launch of its predecessor.

If you do enjoy retail sims, and would like to take a shot at breaking the curse of the Island of the Damned, and trading your way out of the pirate afterlife - you can already wishlist Pirate Cove Simulator:

That's it from us today! We hope you'll enjoy the Alchemist Shop Simulator demo and join us for its FULL LAUNCH on March 11.

Get brewing!

Yours,
