A Pharmacy by the Woods
A cozy isometric pharmacy simulator set in a quiet forest — forage herbs, brew potions, and answer townsfolk's letters. Built by an 11-person student team.
Overview
A Pharmacy by the Woods is a cozy isometric pharmacy simulator set in a quiet forest. You run a small woodland pharmacy — cultivating potions, foraging for herbs, and helping townspeople with their ailments. There's no combat and no time pressure, just a gentle loop of exploration, brewing, and caring for your patients' well-being.
Gameplay
At the heart of the game is a correspondence system: patients send letters describing their ailments, and you craft remedies from forest ingredients while getting to know each character. The pacing favours relaxation and atmosphere over challenge — a slow, immersive experience.
Team
Built by an 11-person student collective spanning art, design, writing, and engineering. The team made a point of using no generative AI anywhere in development.
