About
You are an apothecary.
Prescribe the right medicine according to the conditions of the patients who visit you.
In your workshop, you only have a manual written in a fictional language.
You must decipher the fictional language to concoct and prescribe the medicine.
Test the effects directly on patients to confirm them. Even if you fail, you can retry on another run.
Aim for the perfect treatment—or perhaps the perfect mistake in prescribing?
Casual fictional language deciphering
Compact volume for easy play
Multiple endings
Decipher the fictional language in the manual
Form hypotheses in various ways, test them, and confirm the correct translations
Enter translations yourself word by word. The same words will be auto-filled
Mix and prescribe medicines
Each day, patients will visit. Mix and prescribe medicines according to their conditions.
Hints for mixing and prescribing methods are in the manual. Translate carefully.
Sometimes you’ll need to make predictions to mix and prescribe. Then verify the correctness of your translation.
There is also a dark side: testing medicines on patients to check their effects.
Multiple playthroughs
Translation progress and discovered medicines carry over between runs
Even if you fail in your first run, carry over your knowledge and challenge the next one

初めて言語解読ゲームをプレイしたけど、とても楽しめた! 架空言語で書かれている薬の説明書を解読して、村人たちそれぞれに合った処方をして助けよう!という分かりやすいゲームシステム。 気になったので同ジャンルの別ゲーを色々と調べていったら、この作品はボリューム的には一口サイズの試食という感じなのかな?でも、めちゃくちゃ美味しい一口だった。 当初、言語解読ゲームという言葉を見て、「架空言語一文字につき、平仮名一文字が対応していて、それを少しずつ解読していく」みたいなシステムだと思っていたらそうではなく、架空言語の単語ごとにプレイヤーが言葉を自由に入力して推測していくというものだったが、個人的にはサクサクできてちょうどいい難易度。 言語解読の他に、ポーションの調合と処方というパズル要素があり、説明書の解読とポーションの調合が完了したあとは、実績のための処方ゲーになってしまったけど、短時間で周回ができるのでそこまで気にならなかった。 分かりにくいギミックはあったけど、プレイヤーを信頼してくれているのだと感じた。 温かみのあるグラフィックとBGM、ユーモアのある文章が、短いプレイ時間にも関わらず世界観をしっかり印象付けてくれた。 特に、適当すぎる名前の患者たちが妙に記憶に残っているので是非見てほしい。 コンパクトだけど密度のある、いいゲームでした。
主要玩法是文字破译,但是没引导,也不需要推理,纯看图就能猜出大概意思。推出药方后需对npc施治,[spoiler] 药性相克 [/spoiler]部分比破译有趣多了。[spoiler] (致某个结局某个npc传奇耐药王) [/spoiler]游戏流程非常短,估计1h左右就能一周目,剩下就是补结局,已推出部分可多周目保存这点挺好的,总体来说一般推荐。
作为打发时间还算有趣的游戏,但是不会像《巴别塔之歌》《Epigragh》《Heaven's Vault》等其他语言类游戏让人产生快乐与回味,因为里面的“语言”:1.看不清也不需要真正的观察与辨识;2.只有单词没有语法;3.解谜不调用任何游戏外的文化代码;4.推导只需要试验填空和if else,字符只是一些任意性符号合集,除了作为密码本解题没别的趣味了。 结局上的伦理问题:猜测或许因游戏本身体量太小,全部正确解出大概率不需要2h,故而设计了全部0解与全部错误解的结局,并直接内置进结算画画,引导玩家遍历无意义结局强行增加游戏时长——但是医疗题材或许更应谨慎处理,主角作为一个药剂师,明知什么配方会引起症状恶化却刻意给病人开出错药,旁观他人受苦作为成就必需步骤——值得一个差评。
Great language puzzle game that is short and sweet. Chants of senaar vibes. 10/10 I'd love to see more of these.
相对于游戏内容,即使打折后的14元也太贵了。
Cute game! Basically a much shorter, easier version of Chants of Senaar, with a simple crafting mechanic. I enjoyed the language deductions.
Very very short. Feels like a prototype of something with more of its systems - neither the mixing, treating, or translating go very far - but a reasonably polished prototype and a fine use of an hour or two if you want a low-effort distraction in the vein of meatier puzzle games. The multiple endings element didn't do anything for me as there was little to no narrative to change, so I didn't bother to get more than the "cure everyone" and "cure most". Nevertheless, it passed an hour well.
What a gem! :)
言語解読はやはりいいですね。値段も手ごろなのでおすすめです
A short but fun puzzle game where you have to figure out a potion brewing manual written in a language you can't read.
