6 itemsAbout the Game
Philana and Lily have lived together peacefully in the mountains ever since Philana saved Lily's life. One day, she returns home to find Lily collapsed on the floor. Scattered around are rare and exotic ingredients, theoretical papers on synthesizing an Elixir, and other alchemy-related artifacts.
Surprised, Philana asks Lily what she's been doing, and Lily reveals that she's been battling an illness that can only be cured with the help of an Elixir. Unable to continue her search for the remaining ingredients, Philana offers to find them herself.
After Lily reluctantly accepts her offer, Philana sets out for a nearby town, intending to use it as a base of operations from which she can gather information on the remaining ingredients.
