About Endara Chronicles: The Apothecary

Endara Chronicles: The Apothecary is a fantasy visual novel by Soniram, built in Ren'Py with animated 3D CG scenes. You play a young man who takes over his aunt's apothecary shop after she leaves to marry, beginning his first book in the Endara Chronicles. The story follows him as friends, rivals, and intrigue surround his new role, while becoming an apothecary is only the first step toward the person he is meant to become. Many tag-based paths are optional for the player.

The current build is v0.8d SE, released March 8, 2024, and development is ongoing. It supports Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, is in English, and is uncensored. The v0.8 changelog adds 22 new story and thread scenes, 18+ Esbat scenes in Rilea that depend on earlier choices, and some sandbox content. Those Esbat sections use a VN-style format, so players should keep needed silver and potions before entering. Soniram notes the first book is planned to finish after one or two more updates, followed by artwork and animation rework.

Developer's description

A young man is given the ownership of his aunt's apothecary shop when she goes to be married, leading him down his unique tale in the Endara Chronicles. Friends, enemies, and intrigue are around every tree and behind every rock. Becoming an apothecary is just the first step in becoming the person he was destined to be. Many tags/genres are completely optional for the player. Check the "genre" spoiler box below. Check the Changelog and Developer Notes for information on the next release(s). Spoiler: Note from Soniram... Welcome to the first book of the Endara Chronicles. This story is scheduled to "end" after one or two more updates, after which I will go back and be re-working several of the animations and images that were, for a lack of better term, bad. This is my first attempt with graphic/artwork design, so I am improving. Thank you.

If you've played the 0.1d version, I do suggest going back and starting from the beginning again. * Removed the "creator intro" section at the beginning for the time being. * Fixed some visual errors that were bothering me. * Added several songs to the soundtrack for scenes. Songs will be added later to other scenes when I can find the right music. * Probably a few other things I don't remember... 0.1d (0.1d) - Original Release 20 Scenes 3 Sexual Situations

Wow. That was.. a lot more than I was expecting. I happened to download this from a site that doesn't have a lot of posts or reviews about it (two reviews, both enthusiastic but little detail), so I went into…
BubbaJubbs 2024-06-25 ★★★★★
I absolutely love the characters and their stories, the plot involving the guilds is interesting, and the range of kinks (mommy kink, trap, impregnation, and more) is great. My only complaint is that some characters look strange, such as Valkan…

I have no idea what everyone else sees in this game. The story, characters, and dialogue is dull. The character models are some of the ugliest I've ever seen. Like if TES:Oblivion were an anime game kinds of ugly. Gameplay…
