Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale first delivered its unique style of item shop simulation and dungeon crawling back in 2007, and now it’s getting ready to return. Developer EasyGameStation announced plans for a remaster titled Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale HD Edition, which is currently planned for a 2025 launch on PC in Japan. Details are light outside of a couple screenshots, so we’ll have to stay tuned for more on the remaster’s release plans.
Here’s the original RPG’s Steam description:
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.
