Gameplay
The object of the game is to forage recipe ingredients, then brew potions to heal villagers.[1] The central game mechanic is drawing cards and writing responses to prompts in a dedicated journal.[4] The game includes farm life sim, exploration, and crafting elements.[3][1]
Reception
Chase Carter for Dicebreaker recommended Apothecaria for fans of Pokémon Legends: Arceus and wrote that, "There’s an overarching narrative to Apothecaria, but the game plays just as well if approached as a thematic journaling exercise."[5]
