Company: Carpe Fulgar
Distributor: Steam
Hey guys! Taking a break from making a review for the manhwa series, President Dad, I'll review Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale. This will be the second video game review I'll be doing with Resonance of Fate being the first. Made by Carpe Fulgur, an indie company that's trying to take off, Recettear was the first anime-styled game to be distributed by Steam. Of course, given with it's kid-friendly graphics many gamers mocked the game. Recettear, however, successfully manages to rope most of them into being addicted into it's business simulation and simple hack-and-slash RPG elements. You take control as Recette, a young girl (god knows how young) whose mother is not in the picture and father who is out traveling. A fairy loan shark, Tear, shows up and says," You better give me mah dough, otherwise Im a take your house and make you HOMELESS". Being a girl who has never worked in her life (LOL silly girl, people who don't work don't live very long), Recette reluctantly follows Tear's advice to open up an item shop to sell stuff to NPCs and adventurers. From this point on is a road of light-hearted humor and frustration as players learn the shit shop owners have to put up with customers XD.
