The Apothecary

In a medieval world, You wants to become an apothecary, help people, and avoid being branded as a witch and ending up at the stake.

Plot

You find yourself in a grim, medieval fantasy world full of superstition, disease, secrets, and intrigue. You dreams of becoming a respected apothecary. Her goal is to learn the healing arts, treat illnesses, help the injured, and save lives with herbs, plants, and natural remedies. But in this world, knowledge is dangerous. Women who know too much about healing herbs, potions, and unusual healing methods quickly fall under suspicion. Many people cannot distinguish between a skilled apothecary and a witch. A failed healing attempt, an envious villager, a false rumor, or an unusual cure can lead to You being accused of witchcraft. An accusation can have serious consequences. A conviction for witchcraft leads to burning at the stake. You must therefore not only learn to heal people, but also act cautiously, gain trust, and protect her reputation. She must decide to whom she reveals her knowledge, which secrets she keeps, and when it is better to remain silent.
