Moonlight Apothecary

Don't sort every bottle — just the one the order asks for. A story-driven potion color puzzle, with twin orders and big bottles along the way.

A color-sorting puzzle where you don't have to sort every bottle. All you need is the one bottle the order asks for — the right color, in the right amount.

As always, the apothecary is cluttered with colorful potions. Read each order carefully and fill the delivery bottle just right.

Moonlight Apothecary is an order-based color-sorting puzzle you play with one simple move: pick a bottle and pour it into another. The other bottles can stay mixed — once the ordered potion is ready in exactly the requested amount, the brewing is complete.

■ Fill each order exactly: Orders Every stage tells you the color, the amount, and the delivery bottle. Move only the color you need, or clear the colors in the way first? The key is not finishing the whole board, but getting the order right.

■ Follow the story, chapter by chapter Orders sit on maps that show each chapter's setting. Starting with getting the Moonlight Apothecary ready to open, your journey takes you to the forest, misty night roads, the royal capital, and the far border. Answer orders from a forest lookout, a traveling merchant, and many other customers. Finish every order in a chapter to add its scenery to your Codex.

■ Two potions at once — and sometimes a big bottle Some orders ask for two kinds of potion at the same time. Decide which to finish first while watching how much space each bottle has. Some orders also include a bottle larger than usual, and pouring the way you always do will make it overflow. Reading the difference in size is part of an apothecary's skill.

■ Record your potions in the Moonlight Codex The first time you finish a potion, it is added to the shelf in your Codex. Read its effects and ingredients, revisit the letters your customers sent, and zoom in on the illustrations.

■ Learn the basics in Sorting Practice The classic rule — sort every bottle into a single color — is included too. Practice moving potions and get ready for trickier orders.

■ Test your skill with Moonlit Trials As you progress through the chapters, your Mentor sends you tough trials. Sort every bottle, and finish the given color in the moon-marked bottle.

■ Help when you're stuck Undo your last move, restart the board, and get notified automatically when no moves are left. When you're unsure, you can ask your Mentor for the steps from the current board.

■ Stages that grow tougher bit by bit Both Orders and Sorting Practice include many stages that slowly get harder. In Orders, your eye for amounts and the state of the delivery bottle is put to the test step by step.

You don't need to sort everything. Just make the one ordered bottle perfect. Now, let's start today's orders.
