About the Game

"The Herbalist" is a calm and meditative logic puzzle game from the creators of "Everlasting Summer". Along with Slavya you will need to recreate magical potions recipes. The game features colorful anime style graphics, pleasant soft soundtrack and fruity plot scenes.

Plot:

One day Slavya came to spend summer at her Grandma's place, but nobody was there to greet her — the hut was empty. Slavya found an old book containing barely readable alchemy recipes. She decided to restore the knowledge lost — maybe she would be able to find out why did her Grandma disappear.

Game features:

  • Searching and gathering magical and normal herbs
  • Scores of unique potions and items
  • Lots of rich and spicy plot scenes
  • Game modding with new recipes, locations, events, etc.
