Saw this news the other day and figured someone else would post it but I guess not? Must be enjoying the holidays. Hope there are some other oldheads that remember and enjoyed this game from the earlier days of the Steam store (or even the Japanese release). While there's no English release announced as of yet, it's unthinkable that they won't have one. Hopefully simultaneously.

The original Steam release back in 2010! (Currently $4)
Recettear was a milestone release as the first Japanese indie games on Steam. Carpe Fulgur (publisher) apparently expected about 10,000 sales but wound up doing much better amassing over 300,000 by 2013 and over 500,000 by 2017.
While it definitely shows it's age, it's still a fantastic and charming game worth playing and I'm genuinely excited to see what they do with the remaster.

Recettear is the story of an item shop, the girl who lives in it, and the fairy who turned her life upside down. Recette Lemongrass finds herself in charge of an item shop built into her house, in order to pay back a loan her father took and then skipped out on - and Tear, her newfound fairy "companion", won't take no for an answer! As Recette, you have to decide how you'll get your stock - either through playing the markets in town or going out into the wild with an adventuring friend and thrashing beasts until they give up the goodies - how much to sell things for, what the shop should look like, and how to best go about getting the money Tear needs to pay off the loan. If you can't come up with the money... well, hope you like living in a cardboard box.
