Arcana Apothecary

Arcana Apothecary is an Amare Visual Novel where you play as Luna Serana, a protagonist living in a city where most magic has been deemed unsafe and has been heavily regulated by the Grand Council. One day she is gifted a special deck of tarot cards by a rather eccentric stranger, inheriting a shop where only lost souls can wander in. These cards don’t just predict the future, they prescribe it. Along her journey, she meets several other characters who are finding themselves just like she is. There might just be more brewing underneath this magical city’s surface…
