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

Very cool game
[h3] 言語読解入門ゲーム [/h3] 手軽さ◎難易度◎価格◎
初めて言語解読系ゲームをプレイしました! 判読不能の言語で書かれた手引書を参考にして薬を調合し、 効能の分からない薬を躊躇いもなく処方し、 患者の反応を見て言語を解読していく。 というトンデモ設定に興味を惹かれた結果、自分の直感に間違いはなかったです。 言語は判読不能でも図や状況で直感的に正解にたどり着けるし、間違えてもやり直しが簡単なので気軽に試せます。(※その日をやり直す機能があることに気づかずプレイしてても4時間ほどで全エンディングがみられる) 絵柄も好み、色味も好み、調合の操作感も好み、患者さんのネーミングやエンディングのエピソードもクスッと笑えて好み、と大満足のゲームでした!

positive critical· bar length = how often the theme comes up
1.5 hours of puzzles with a vaguely-linguistic theme to complete, about 3 hours to 100% (mildly spoiled because there are some bits of UI that are obscure and even after "solving" the book there are some bits of the central mechanic that I find obscure). Pleasant theming, doesn't get in its own way.
Se avessero specificato sin da subito che era un must fare piu' run per avere la soluzione e determinate malattie, diciamo che mi avrebbero risparmiato non poco tempo e nervosismo. Purtroppo l'ho preso come un gioco di logica assoluto, un puzzle di sorta di cui mi aspettavo ci fossero tutti i pezzi e stesse a me e al mio spirito di deduzione arrivare a incastrarli per trovare una logica. Quindi, mi sono intestardito sul "Se mi mettono X malattia al Giorno 2, vuol dire che posso curarla. Devo avere i mezzi, no? Per forza. Devo solo fare trial and error per capire quali sono e come fare..." Oh well, guess I was wrong. Vari giorni dopo ti viene data una pagina da tradurre su come craftare la cura per la malattia del giorno 2. Qualche giorno dopo ancora, in una nota di caricamento, si legge: "Ho la sensazione sia necessario fare piu' run perche' la conoscenza che si trasporta anche quando re-inizi puo' tornarti utile" Ind a chell sfaccimm e ... Ahem. Anyways. Dicevamo? Ah, giusto. ... Per 3 euro ci sta anche come giochino, ma prendetelo come un brain off e spamma pozioni alla come viene. Non si viene premiati a prenderlo come un puzzle perche' ripeto, vi mancano i pezzi sin da subito per risolvere alcune cose. Non siete scemi voi, e' il gioco che vi spinge a rigiocarlo.
10/10 :) Nice little game if you have a bit of free time.
This game rules.
グラフィックがかわいくて、試行錯誤する楽しみもあります。 ボリュームは程々なので、2時間ほどで全エンド見られました。 言語解読ゲームはなんぼあってもいいですね。お手頃に楽しめる良作でした。
