About
The story takes place in Italy in the époque of the Renaissance. Disastrous outbreak of plague and leprosy is raving, taking thousands of lives. We play-act for Adriano, - brave and daring as hereditary aristocrat Adriano family member of the Duke of Medici, who sent for the pursuit of his daughter, Claudia. Our hunt leads us to the strangest of places – little town called Apothecarium. Just recently Italy’s brightest minds were fighting over the search of the vaccine against plague. These scientific pioneering and research so as to win the fight with the dreadful disease is the purpose this “amazing city” was built for.
On arrival we discover that Apothecarium has become abandoned and Claudia’s cortege destroyed and the Duchess herself kidnapped. The further deep into the mysterious city we are making our way the more we find it overflowing with the odd inventions imbued with the fleur of the Renaissance and the more horrific details we discover. Unveiling the mystery we learn that the city’s inhabitants have fallen the victims of the outrageous and demented Alchemist who in his pursuit for the elixir of youth has taken the path of the evil and wrecking havoc. This virulent and frenetic scientist is taking lives of the innocent so as to gain the immortality. We are to come across the sinister mysteries of Apothecarium, overpass a great deal of considerable tests and face multitude of hardships so as to free the Duchess of Medici from the clutches of the insane and cold-blooded lunatic and save the survived.

Ich kann die negativen Bewertungen nicht nachvollziehen, das Spiel ist wirklich klasse.
I don't know why some people dislike this game, i had a lot of fun playing it
I didn't especially enjoy this one. It's okay, but I ran into a few bugs and the hidden object scenes were sometimes frustrating -- you're asking me to find a bottle...on a shelf absolutely packed full of bottles? The bonus puzzles you do to get coins felt a little pointless, although they were fun. I liked the way the map worked, but I often felt overwhelmed with the number of items in my inventory with no idea where to use them. When I got to the end of the main game, I still had several items left over so I'm guessing there are multiple paths somewhere? I don't care enough to find out. The game crashed multiple times, and I had a few graphical glitches. One of the hidden object scenes was broken, or else the hitboxes are really finnicky -- luckily it wasn't game breaking since I could switch to the Match-3 mode, which has the most godawful music I've ever heard. All in all, if you're a big HOG fan, wait for a deep discount.
I've played way worse, and certainly less beautifully made games. For me it didn't crash, which I think is one of the main reasons for the negative reviews. The has its faults, several mis-described items among them, but overall I enjoyed it. The music is gorgeous for example. The puzzles have a few nice twists, like the switch to match-three in the HOG puzzles. The match-three could have been made more fun (it's not enough to match, you have to push spyglasses to the bottom), but it's a nice touch. A more novel twist, during the HOG games there are several items that will morph from one item to another (completely unrelated) - you have to find and click a specific form! The story was nice, although as usual with these games, it was a bit confused. The drawback of not being linear and not forcing the player to revisit every room countless times (you still have to revisit them). My main gripe with the game would be the click-area of the items - in at least one instance I had to click several times, even calling a hint to be sure, until it finally registered that I indeed clicked the correct item. In other times, the clickable area was almost cut off from the screen. Still, all in all it's a nice timewaster. I've done worse with my time, including playing games that had higher ratings.
Very nice game.
bom jogo
没中文难好评鸭。 we need cn, cloud save, Ach. 202505,steam,steam掉卡掉物抵扣,它处自定义包入的本体约3元。爱人如己,目前就这,看以后追评。
After 3 hours into game.... it constantly crashes and can not get past this point in game to continue. Looked into reviews and others had same problem.
Un excellent Point & Click à l'ancienne dans l'Italie de la Renaissance. Une histoire de lutte contre le mal incarné par un alchimiste fou à la recherche de l'immortalité; où il vous faudra sauver la Princesse et sa mère et secourir de pauvres diables condamnés. Un jeu pas cher, intéressant avec une bonne histoire, de jolies animations et beaucoup d'imagination et de variété pour les différents jeux et énigmes dans beaucoup de tableaux différents... Il m'a fallu 12h30 pour le terminer. Vivement recommandé...
Увидел цену. Потом всё как в тумане. Очнулся, а она уже куплена. Сижу. Фармлю карточки.
