Plague Doctor: Apothecary

A kettle to watch. A counter to mind. A town to get to know. Inherit a remedy shop on Cinder Lane in Rookbridge, a town of marsh fog, market fairs and peculiar complaints. In Plague Doctor: Apothecary, the daily work is yours: order supplies, make remedies, stock your shelves and look after the customers who step through your door. Make every batch by hand Grind herbs in the mortar, carry your mix to the kettle and stir when the brew calls. Bottle, cork and seal your finished work, then carry it out to the shop. Good timing and clean equipment improve quality, turning careful preparation into Fine and Masterwork batches. Learn 24 recipes, from Moonleaf Draught and Ashwax Salve to stranger compounds unlocked through your trade licenses. Keep the shop running Unpack deliveries, fill your displays and set your own prices. Serve customers at the till and count their change, or switch on automatic counting. Balance supply costs, wages and daily upkeep, then settle the ledger each evening and decide where tomorrow's earnings should go. Listen before you recommend Meet Rookbridge's regulars and take consultations across your desk. Read the clues, ask a question and consult your journal before choosing a remedy from your stock. Follow-up letters add to what you know, while commissions give you larger orders with deadlines and quality requirements. Build an apothecary of your own Arrange shelves, display tables and decorations between trading days. Upgrade your tools and carrying capacity, then add a storeroom, laboratory and garden courtyard. Hire a porter to unpack and restock, a clerk to handle ordinary checkout and a brewer to repeat mastered recipes at the laboratory still. Grow herbs in the courtyard and build the reputation, skills and facilities needed to earn the Town Apothecary Charter. Find the curious side of Rookbridge Discover 18 unusual specimens in deliveries, commissions and the traveling trader's stock. Display them in your curiosity cabinet, research them for journal pages or sell them for copper. Market fairs, inspections, delayed carts and changes in weather alter the day's trade.
