Description
The town of Moonbury has always been wary of the advances of the outside world, preferring to rely on their traditional methods of healing. Until one day, when the mayor's daughter falls ill, and the local witch doctor can do nothing to help her, they are forced to look outside their small community for help.

The Medical Association decides to send their most accomplished chemist - you - to help cure the mayor's daughter and convince the residents of Moonbury of the wonders of modern alchemy. Gain their trust and tend to each person when they fall ill in this open-ended sim RPG.


  • Take care of residents. Moonbury has around 30 unique inhabitants who will occasionally fall ill and call for your aid. Sick residents will have their schedules interrupted while they recuperate in bed.


  • Diagnose symptoms and find a cure! Hmm... a low heart rate and a bloated liver. Shoulder cramps, perhaps? No, these are sure signs of burning lungs. This patient has been consuming too much gelatin! Easily remedied; you'll just need to craft some Minty Goblet.
  • Gather ingredients out in the world. Once you've decided on a potion, ointment, or salve, gather ingredients from the surrounding environment using your tools. Upgrade your hammer, axe, and sickle for new swings and attacks to help with your day-to-day tasks. Watch out for changing weather conditions! You may find yourself caught out in the rain, a freezing blizzard, or even the baking heat of a desert.


  • Confront nasty monsters for their materials. Sometimes you won't be able to gather the materials you need as easily as harvesting a berry bush, and you'll need to turn your trusty tools into weapons to collect materials from the monsters prowling the nearby wilderness. Combat is in real-time and, since you're a chemist, you'll be able to brew various concoctions to buff yourself or inflict status ailments on your adversaries, as well as various tools to aid you.
  • Brew remedies in your cauldron. The ingredients you gather can be mixed in your cauldron to brew medicine, vitamins, and more. As you become more experienced, higher-level recipes will become available, requiring more ingredients but bestowing stronger effects. Enhance your cauldron to concoct more ingredients into your recipes for these more advanced remedies.


  • Build relationships with the townsfolk. It'll take a little while, but your patients' health will be much better thanks to your efforts. Your reputation with them will increase, and they'll open up to you a little more. You may even find yourself growing particularly close to certain bachelors or bachelorettes.
  • Upgrade the town and surrounding areas. Building relationships with townsfolk increases your approval rating allowing you to improve the area by improving public buildings and expanding the explorable areas around the town. You can also craft and buy new furniture to give your home a personal touch!


  • Enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. In the downtime between treating the community's ailments, you'll be able to freely explore in and around Moonbury. Get to know the inhabitants a little better, take a rest in the tavern, or go fishing to catch something for dinner. Moonbury is a delightfully charming location where time seems a little slower and life is just a little more relaxed than the big city. While the lighting will change throughout the day, with the bright sun streaking across the meadows in the morning and street lamps illuminating the town in the early evening, there are no time limits for game objectives. You are free to go at your own pace and take it easy.
  • Spend time with a faithful companion. You didn't relocate to Moonbury alone! With you every step of the way is your loyal dog companion. Your pet can help you locate hidden items and point you in the direction of residents as they go about their day.

Cozy and unique, but very grindy

Video review: https://youtu.be/SvvVHFsfXEs * Unique potion making puzzle mechanic * Charming characters * Tons of friendship events and quests * 6 romanceable characters (no marriage) * Various simple minigames * Beautiful pixel art style * Adorable and helpful dog companion * Very grindy * Several bugs * Slow and unwelcoming start * No mouse support. Best played with a controller

Decent Game

I am 25h in. Game is fun. The worst part is the lack of mouse support. Navigating the map with the wasd keys is a living night mare. Even if they don't want to add mouse support there are a 100 ways to implement fast travel. Like adding a menu with tp locations and house search. Instead it looks like no body even played through the game once it was ported to PC. Other then that the game is pretty fun. Mini games are really easy. It is nice chill game. I don't know if it is technically possible to lose. I encounter one bug for 25h where the alarm for patients was on while there were no sick patient in the ward.

Would have loved it if not for the grind

The art is nice, the setting is very relaxing, and the story is enjoyable. I really enjoyed the time spent getting to know the NPCs - and I didn't even mind the focus on social bonds, as opposed to farming, crafting, alchemy, etc that others hoped for. It was the excessive grind that killed it. Grind to gain resources. Grind to complete quests. Grind to socialize. Wait and wait and wait and do it all over again. All together it made the pacing feel uninspiring and very obviously padded. Hopefully one day the devs consider balancing the effort-to-reward ratio so it feels enjoyable, even if taking a slower pace.

DLC...

Who in their right mind divides a single pack of DLC into every individual item, for as much as $2 each!? All together you can expect to find 16 paid DLC packs from this greedy practice, as well as an advertisement for the Steam DLC bundle! Ridiculous.

Might be good, but no controller support

I'm surprised that controllers still don't work after nine months. Despite the other reviews, controllers don't work with the Steam version either. If the devs can't even be bothered to get that working, I doubt they are doing much with the actual game. Refunded from both GOG and Steam.
