Description

Xochi’s Apothecary is a deceptively cozy narrative game where you play as a compulsively sarcastic alchemist that immigrates to a new country and opens an apothecary. As Xochi, you’ll get to know your weird and wonderful community and brew the potions your customers need. The more people you help, the greater your influence on the world outside your apothecary becomes, until you find yourself complicit in everything from conspiracies to revolutions to cat rescues.

But even as you move forward and become one of the most sought-after alchemists in your new nation, you’re constantly shadowed by the country of your birth. You signed away the right to talk about your birth country when you left its borders, and this contract keeps you isolated in your silence. Luckily, the people you’ve helped may help you shoulder the burden of your past and shift the course of your new nation – as well as the one you left behind. Ready to stir things up?

Features
  • Forge bonds with a colorful cast of characters, from councilors to artists to assassins

  • Brew the right potions for each of your customers’ problems. Is an Illusion potion better than a Truth potion for opening people’s eyes? Will an Empathy potion help folks understand one another, or just manipulate each other more effectively?

  • Converse with your customers to change their path and yours in equal measure

  •  Chat with Tuka, your crow companion – until she loses interest

  • Discover a warped and wondrous fantasy world filled with political intrigue, monsters, and not-so-inaccurate conspiracy theories

  • Make choices that will change your story and alter the course of nations
