A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

You are an apothecary in a strange world. Your patients are sick. Find supplies and brew medicine to cure their conditions. As the land darkens and provisions grow scarce, you stand between them and ruin.


This is a simple game where you mainly walk around, pick up items, talk to characters, and brew potions for them.

This is a project primarily meant as a learning exercise for various people when working on games in groups. It's purposefully a bit simplistic as we didn't want to get too bogged down with mechanics and such, though we ended up going a bit overboard with content. Treat it as a sort of a game jam game. We still poured a lot of heart and effort into it though.

Creators of this game are:
PVTHS
Astron
Croomfolk
Ed3800
Burgerboy
Banshee
Shmorgle
FlippingKenner
And meeeeeee :333333

If you wish to donate, you may do so through Ko-fi, the money will go to one or more of the Brazilian developers here who's setups are on the verge of dying or already dead.

This was really good! The character designs and atmosphere, with the rolling fog and distant lights sprawled over a surreal stone brick village, are immaculate.  The stories hope in spite of danger is wonderful and I love Vltava!

Thank you for the kind words!
