The mobile version is a one-time purchase ($4.99 on both stores). If you love the town but not the farm chores, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redbean.ai\/blog\/mobile-games-like-stardew-valley\/\">mobile games like Stardew Valley<\/a> list focuses on relationship-first alternatives.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Potion_Permit\"><\/span>Potion Permit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You&#8217;re a chemist sent to a town that doesn&#8217;t trust you yet. You win people over by gathering ingredients, diagnosing patients and brewing remedies. It has a smaller cast than Stardew and a clearer story arc, which makes it a good, finite cozy game. It&#8217;s $6.99 on the App Store and $6.49 on Google Play.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wylde_Flowers\"><\/span>Wylde Flowers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is a narrative farming sim with a secret witches&#8217; coven at its center, and the writing and characters are the draw.
