The demo ends after a month of play, by which point very little has happened. There’s no way of checking affection and repeated conversations produced diddly squat by way of special event. You can also give them medicines you’ve made as presents. It doesn’t even say what you talked about, just that you talked. Since this is the clean demo, however, all you ever do is talk and drink tea together. Since Densetsu no Kusuriyasan was going to be an adult game, Mimosa probably would have gotten up to all kinds of ungentlemanly activities with these fine fellows. Arty is a lively adventurer who also just moved in and Lou is a live-in helper your grandmother assigned to do your housework. Then Rosmarinus or whatever his name is is a sickly noble who recently moved to the village. There’s Kai the chief’s son who likes to tease you but isn’t a bad sort. The other thing you can do with your time is visit one of the game’s four eligible bachelors. Oh and, btw, you’re never told what each stat actually does… Or if any stat actually does anything at all… Pointless, I tell you. Forcing yourself would just be pointless busywork to preserve your stats at the expense of a fun game experience. But that’s useless because you don’t need to forage that much. Fine then, I’ll alternate studying and foraging every day, you say. Not quite cancelled out… unless you choose to study or forage twice in a row, then you’re back to square one. Then you go foraging once and Strength up +6, intelligence -3. Study once and, for example, your intelligence goes up +6, physical strength goes down -3. This is something that would have needed serious tweaking in the final game, because certain stat growths tend to cancel each other out. It’s possible that Mix Factor would have eventually added quests and story events that called for Mimosa’s medical skills instead of leaving crafting as “That thing you have to do if you want to finish the game.”Īs Mimosa studies and forages and levels up, her stats rise and fall dramatically. You only make them as a way to grind out your pharmacist level so you can unlock more recipes so you can grind your level even higher and round and round it goes. For one, there are no icons or pictures of any of the ingredients or finished products, and yet all the flavor text is dry and pedestrian.įor another thing, there’s no in-story demand for any of the medicines you make.
Crafting is disappointing in other ways as well. Way to take all the fun out of what should be the most enjoyable part of the game.

The worst part is the medicine synthesis because every drug no matter how basic takes a full action to make. Somehow she has to balance studying to learn new recipes with making medicines to raise her level with going out to forage for ingredients with visiting guys in their rooms, all within that extremely limited schedule. Mimosa can take one action on weekdays and Saturdays and two actions on Sundays. The game menu (and your depressingly dark studio): With nothing to lose, Mimosa agrees to give it her best shot and so the game begins.

What’s more, if Mimosa can craft the highest level medicines in a book her grandma gives her within that year, she will become a full-fledged pharmacist and be free of her arduous training forever. Luckily the village chief strikes a deal with granny allowing Mimosa to stay and work for just one more year. When our story begins, her grandmother has just tracked her down and is about to take her back. She runs away from home and becomes the resident medicine woman in a small village. Mimosa is an apprentice pharmacist who chafes at the slow pace of her training and longs to apply her skills to the real world. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves, let’s take this in proper order. Normally this would sadden me a little bit, seeing as I love crafting games and I (think) love otome games but the resulting game would have been too adult for me to play anyway. The Legendary Pharmacist) would have been an R18+ otome and crafting game hybrid that would have been released by Japanese indie developer Mix Factor in 2012 but never made it past the (thankfully) worksafe demo stage.

A trial version of Densetsu no Kusuriyasan is all that has existed for the past 12 years.ĭensetsu no Kusuriyasan (でんせつのくすりやさん, lit. And evidently the developers agreed because they never bothered to release an actual game. I feel slightly bad calling someone’s hard work “kinda pointless” but sometimes you have to call a spade a spade.
