Enchanted Katya and the Mystery of the Lost Wizard - Magic Potions Are Waiting For You!

While the genre of time-management is definitely familiar to you, Enchanted Katya and the Mystery of the Lost Wizard presented a totally new theme for it - a magic potions shop. Beautiful visuals, addictive game play and hidden object mini-games - that's the key to success!

What would you do after graduating from a magical university? Find a magical job, of course!

In the faraway magical land of Graflandia there is the Highest Magic Mastery University, and in this university where is the Potions Preparation department. And that's where our heroine, the smart Katya, has graduated from. After graduation she started working in the famous wizard Took's shop helpig him create the most powerful potions you could imagine. Took is known for his unexpected and dangerous trips is search of new recipes and artifacts. One time he disappeared for long without no sign... But the customers want their products, and the shop must stay open! So Katya decides to continue working by herself while at the same time trying to find out what happened to her master.

Actually, the basic game play presents nothing special or unexpected. You have customers coming to yor shop, each with his or her temper-meter in the form of several hearts. No hearts - no money. Money, of course, is crucial for completing a level - and I must say the goals are rather challenging from the very beginning, so you'll have to try hard in order to meet them.

The process of serving a customer is also quite usual. You hand the customer the "menu", then take the selected vessel, fill it with the basic liquid from the magic portal, then, if neccessary, add some runes or ingredients, or both. There are some moments that make the game play even more challenging, like Katya being able to carry only one item at a time. But as you get used to it, it stops annoying you.

There are also some upgrades that you can buy between the levels. Most of them have to be used during the levels to bring you some bonuses and are mostly helpful.

Sometimes in the middle of a level you will encounter some unpredicted hidden object tasks. Those let you earn some additional gold and are quite simple.

One of the strongest points in Enchanted Katya is the atmosphere. Both awesome visuals and cute sounds (especially when a customer is satisfied) make you feel like you are really in a magical world. So, if you like time-managements, but would praise some change from farming and food, here is a nice choice!
