New The Apothecary Diaries game starts pre-registration
Pre-registration is now open for a new simulation game based on the popular anime series The Apothecary Diaries.
The new title, The Apothecary Diaries: Palace Chronicles, will be released on the G123 HTML5 game platform.
G123 is a service that provides free-to-play, high-quality games that can be played directly in a web browser on any device, including smartphones, tablets, and PCs, without requiring any downloads or installations.
The Apothecary Diaries is a massively popular anime and manga series, with over 40 million copies in circulation, that tells the story of a young girl named Maomao who works as a poison tester in an imperial court.
Its anime adaptation is due to receive a new series following an announcement earlier this year.
In the new game, players will take on the role of nurturing the protagonist, Maomao.
They will guide her through solving various cases and consultations that arise in the inner palace and the red-light district, completing missions to raise her official rank.
The game will feature new, original illustrations of popular characters like the handsome and influential eunuch, Jinshi, and the noble consort, Lady Gyokuyō, with whom players can deepen their bonds.
A cooperative gameplay element will also be included, where players can gather and grow medicinal herbs and then work together with other players to successfully compound them.
A pre-registration campaign is currently underway, with all players set to receive in-game rewards at launch based on the total number of people who sign up.
The pre-registration rewards are as follows:
- 50,000 Registrations: 50 Lottery Tickets
- 100,000 Registrations: 20 x Tea
- 200,000 Registrations: Xiaolan will be unlocked
In addition to the main campaign, a separate campaign on the messaging app LINE will give a free, original wallpaper of Jinshi to everyone who adds the game’s official account.
A social media promotion is also being held via the game’s official X (@kusuriya_ki_ja), where followers can enter a lottery to win Amazon gift cards.
You can find out more about the game via the official website.
