The Smile Alchemist Review (KittyKay)
***Short answer: GET WHILE ON SALE BELOW $10***
I have loved Kemco on mobile for quite some time, though I do dislike how there are still IAPs when you purchase the full games (not applicable here). However, this is a fun, simple game to play while listening to Youtube or other multitask options but that is why it is only worth less than $10. For the full price, I would expect much more engaging gameplay (i.e. Atelier series-esque) or more to explore in the map, but it is basically make things, sell things, do occasional tasks, read stories, and do a weird puzzle to collect. If this was on mobile, I'd pay $5 and probably enjoy it way more as time sink. (positive prior to mid game)
****UPDATE after the madness:
To get to the end, it took several hours of mindless grinding and there were so many questions still unanswered. At first, I really like this game. But once it got the mid-end game...I felt the pain and it was not the fun kind. Suffering complete and so glad to uninstall.
