About this game
A Compact Fictional Language Deciphering Game
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?
Features
Casual fictional language deciphering

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.
