About The Apothecary of Trubiz

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
  • Compact volume for easy play
  • Multiple endings

How to Play

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

It's fun to figure out if you've interpet the correct word or not. There's no way to confirm if you got it right or not - unlike Chants of Sennaar, so you're left with hoping what you guessed is correct - similar to Homicipher. Because of that, the game is short and you're meant to make mistakes / replay so you understand what the missing words are. It's a simple, short game you can finish in 1 sitting. I got it as part of a bundle, otherwise I wouldn't have known about this game.

It's a pretty short game but really cute and felt well done! Kinda felt like if Chants of Sennaar and Strange Horticulture had a baby. Would love to see more things like this from these creators.

Good and short game. I loved needing to translate the book myself ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ translation in the history of medicine, but it works!

I really liked this game! I enjoyed the idea of decoding the manual. It was fun to explore the game and find all the little secrets!

Brilliant little game, short and sweet. Spoiler for gameplay mechanics. Do not read if you haven't played through the game yet, it will spoil one of the mechanics. For real. [spoiler] And I love that a first playthrough pretty much can't get the best ending, because since you have to leave potions out day 1 to be able to cure one of the patients day 2. Honestly a really smart way to pseudo-force the player out of the best ending playthrough 1 [/spoiler]

Fun. A little too short, I'd recommend getting it at a discount if possible (I know it is cheap already, but it is just that short).

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
