The gameplay is characterized by its fun and quirky brewing mechanics, offering a charming job simulation experience with interactive tools and ingredients. However, players note a lack of depth and challenge, with limited replayability and a need for more engaging content and difficulty options. Overall, while the game has a delightful atmosphere and solid mechanics, it requires further development to enhance long-term enjoyment.

- “If you want to be able to pour hours into this game, there needs to be an entire gameplay rework that rewards and incentivizes play.”
