Gideon Ragnason was banished from Ruti's party because he was "not strong enough." Since then, he has retired from the front lines of battle and changed his name to Red. Now, he has opened an apothecary in the frontier land of Zoltan, and hopes to live a slow and happy life there!
You take on the role of Red, a former adventurer who has opened an apothecary shop in the frontier town of Zoltan. The game blends farming, crafting, combat, and relationship-building as you work to establish your new life.
You can farm, gather, fish, and defeat monsters to collect a variety of materials. You then use these materials to craft medicines, food, and other items to sell in your apothecary shop. The crafting system is in-depth, requiring you to carefully balance your resources and upgrade your equipment and facilities.
While the focus is on the "slow living" aspect, the game also features an engaging combat system. You can venture into dungeons to fight monsters and acquire rare resources. You are accompanied by partner characters like the princess Rit or your sister Ruti, who provide assistance in battle. The combat is challenging but satisfying.
Building relationships with the various NPCs in the town is a key part of the gameplay. You can interact with characters, complete quests and requests, and as these relationships deepen, you may unlock new story events and content. The relationship system is meaningful and enjoyable.
As you progress, you can upgrade your apothecary shop, unlock new recipes, and increase your adventure rank. The skill tree system allows you to customize your character's abilities in combat, crafting, and other areas. The gradual progression and sense of growth are highlights.
