Apotheria
Description
Your aim is to create the best apothecary in the kingdom with the best and most exotic potions. You begin as a newly established apothecary with a basic workshop and a small herb garden. Your job is to fulfill potion orders, tend to the herb garden, explore nearby areas for resources, and build relations with townspeople, the church, and the local lord. Satisfied clients increase your reputation and income. Unsatisfied customers, however, may push back your progression. As You master the art of potionmaking, the apothecary expands into a larger workshop with upgraded tools and storage rooms. Travel the land to meet merchants from far away lands or gather rare herbs! In order to upgrade your workshop, you must get permits from your lord, which means you have to keep a good relationship with them. Do You have what it takes to become the best of the best?
