  • Great game with interesting take and gameplay. The Idea of game mechanics really sounds good. Unfortunately, while playing it is kind of difficult to understand how precise you need to be with ingredients as several of them share cure for the same problem also setting Ailments and picking ingredients didn't really had correlation and the first one just felt useless. Overall great takes, keep it up.

I absolutely loved it! Even though I only cured two of my customers (whoops).  I liked the overall vibe of the game, the art style and the music - it had a great atmosphere. I hope you continue developing it! :) (At first I did not realize it was a mirror and I would sacrifice my eye, loved that horror element/the choice :D)

Thank you so much for your time and review! We are definitely  continuing development on this game because it was just such a fun idea to write and execute. 

Great job curing the customers you did! Owning and running an apothecary  is a hard job.  Plus they were all weird anyway. Lol.
