Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is currently in active development. Early Access gives me the flexibility to redesign art, update systems, and implement community feedback before the full 1.0 release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About 6-12 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I plan to add more ingredients and potions, therefore more complex gameplay: There's 21 days (in-game) for now, I would like to expand that number to 40; Get community feedback to update/change game mechanics, design, systems, etc.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The player can complete a full run (14 days in-game), has plenty potions, ingredients, tools, and core gameplay is stable. Players might encounter trivial bugs.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I plan to gradually raise the price as I ship new content and features.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“By playing the game in its current state, users can help me identify trivial bugs and suggest quality-of-life improvements. I intend to build a collaborative relationship with my players to ensure the final version of the game is something we’re all proud of.

About This Game

You were raised on herbalism, spending your life learning every root and remedy from your parents. Now that you're an adult, it’s time to make your own way. You’ve left home and traveled alone to a new town.

As a stranger, you’re met with immediate distrust. The locals are skeptical of outsiders, especially one peddling tonics and cures they don't recognize. With no money and no allies, your survival depends entirely on your craft. You have to work from the ground up, using your skills to solve their problems and earn the town’s respect before you run out of resources.
