What's All This Then?
Perhaps you've played a game before where you've taken on the role of a hard-boiled adventurer?
A great slayer of monsters? A hero who towers above the little people?
Well, it's time to experience life from a slightly different perspective - that OF one of the little people!
Recettear is a game about Recette Lemongrass, a young girl who finds herself in the unenviable position of having to pay back her father's debt!
With the assistance of the fairy, Tear, she's going to open an item shop in her home and try to raise the money she needs to pay off her father's bum loans!
Play the market, or grab an adventurer friend and go dungeon-diving yourself to find something nice to sell - the choice is yours, but time is ticking!

The Shop
Fundamentally, the game is all about selling things - from Ultraburgers to Shark Fins to weapons of myth and legend.
You'll display your wares, haggle with people over prices, and hopefully at the end of the day come away with a bit of profit!
Even if your operation seems small at first, keep at it - one day you might become the biggest item store in the city!

Dungeons
It's possible to pay off the debt just by playing the market in town - but where's the fun in that?
The countryside is littered with all manner of strange places and ruins, and there's booty to be had - for the bold.
Recette isn't exactly bold, but she can meet people who are.
You can hire an adventurer and go delving into the strange places of the world, looking for treasure (to sell at a fat margin!) And, go far enough, and who knows what you might find or who you might meet?...
