About the game
The Herbalist’s goal is to gather rare ingredients from the surrounding forests and craft powerful potions for the citizens of Mythwind Valley. The Herbalist explores the forests, researches new recipes, and refines her craft through careful study and experimentation. Her work provides medicine, elixirs, and remedies that strengthen the town and its people. The Forest The Herbalist ventures into a vast forest, divided into three distinct depths: Grove, Woodland, and Deepwood. Each level contains unique opportunities and dangers. The deeper she travels, the rarer and more valuable the ingredients become. The Greenhouse After returning from the forest, the Herbalist brings her gathered ingredients to the greenhouse. There she researches new potions, clears spaces for future ingredients, and brews her creations to earn coins and unlock special abilities that improve her craft. Tools and Upgrades The Herbalist begins with simple gear for travel and study. As her knowledge grows, she can enhance her equipment to move farther, carry more, and manipulate ingredients with greater precision. —description from the publisher
