Hey everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. Here is a minor update with some quality of life improvements. - Fixed collision on planter outside by wall. - Adjusted when quests expire to be longer. Some quests (such as the 3rd) were too short of a duration for starting the game and learning where everything is, planting and researching. - The amount of time left for a quest now shows up when you open the quest. - Gold, Karma, and the Day number now appear for the duration the reward letter is opened. - Lantern Fire is removed for "Low" graphical settings. - Added a couple karma to most quests, particularly hard quests or ones with a difficult client. - Bumped up karma for low paying quests. - Bumped up gold reward by 5-15 per quest. - Lowered fireplace volume slightly as it was a bit loud. - Fixed menu music not looping with new engine upgrade. - Birds are louder outside now. They were hard to hear if the music was turned too high. - Changed physics on bottles to be less crazy but they still move to see the liquid move around. - Removed the word "distilled" for Witch Hazel. This was confusing as you needed to read the ingredient almanac in order to know that the Witch Hazel comes pre-distilled. - Adjusted the hint for quest 10 to be more obvious as it could of been taken the wrong way previously. - Fixed low texture resolution for flowers and most mushrooms. (A couple mushrooms will need new textures). - Added fallback if Auto Settings can't find monitor resolution to default to 720p. - Fixed Field of View not persisting through to the main level from the main menu. - Added ability in Pause menu to change Gamma as well as a reset to default gamma button. - Removed logos etc replaying anytime the Main Menu opens from quitting from the game to menu. Only plays on start up now. - Added a random offset for spawning reward letters so they won't hit each other as often upon spawning.

- Dear Apothecary Linux [5.98 G]
If you chose to take this job, it will involve helping those in your community though completing their various requests of potions, ingredients, and tinctures. Sometimes they won't know what they want and you will need to use your knowledge to decipher what they are looking for. Water and grow plants, combine items and make sure you give the correct pigeon the item in order to fulfill the clients requests.
Kind regards,
Shadowbunnie
Dear Apothecary is a short single player, casual, simulator-esque game. You will take on the role of the community Apothecary while you raise the funds necessary for medical school. Clients within the community will send their requests by pigeon courier and pick up their request with the same pigeon. Send the remedy to the wrong person, or not at all, and you aren't getting paid. Although, not everyone should have the correct item sent to them if they aren't trustworthy. You can learn about the clientele, ingredients and learn the recipes through the various almanacs within your place of work and it is encouraged that you do so.
Many hours of time period research has went into this game as I wanted all of the remedies to be based off of medical knowledge in the time period either by using actual recipes or a rendition of them. You can even play the early English dice game "Hazard" while you wait for a pigeon courier to come.
- 50 Quests, 28 ingredients and 30 recipes.
- 23 clients to get to know with their own individual personalities and hand writing.
- 17 different courier pigeons.
- Recipes, paintings and the majority of the client names are period accurate.
- Play "Hazard", a period authentic dice game.
- Subtitles that can be turned on in the event you have trouble reading cursive.
- Pigeon subtitles that can be turned on if you have trouble distinguishing colour.
