Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist

Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist follows Freddy, a former gunslinger who turns to pharmacology after losing an ear in a gunfight. He arrives in Coarsegold hoping to run his own pharmacy, filling prescriptions, mixing concoctions, and diagnosing simple symptoms with help from the town doctor.

When townspeople are driven away and local businesses are foreclosed and boarded up, Freddy must investigate the growing crisis and uncover the larger plot before Coarsegold becomes an empty town. The game uses a command bar for actions such as walking, examining objects, using items, speaking with characters, and managing inventory. Successful actions contribute to a score out of 1000 points.
