What is The Apothecary Diaries: The False Imperial Brother?

“That cure of life, shall whisper of poison.”PS Store tagline

Palace rumours can be more dangerous than poison, and Maomao is the one to investigate. The Apothecary Diaries: The False Imperial Brother turns an apothecary’s knowledge into the central tool of a detective adventure. The Five Mysteries and Five Curses connect strange events across the rear palace, pleasure district and streets of the capital.

Explore locations, question witnesses and connect evidence in your notebook. Making medicine feeds into the investigation: collecting herbs and preparing the right remedy can help you obtain new information. Choose carefully which clues to present, because your answers affect a witness’s trust and mistaken deductions can send the investigation into a dead end.
