📖 Orchard Cider: Masterpiece

<p>Orchard Cider: Masterpiece is a little story told in merges. The chest spawns humble 🌱 items — each tap spending one point of your 88-energy budget — and dragging two identical items together climbs the chain: 🌱 → 🌳 → 🍎 → 🧃 → 🍾. The tale of orchard cider unfolds through its orders: "Bottle the anniversary reserve." … "Bottle the anniversary reserve." Each delivery (just tap the wanted item) turns the page, and finishing every order completes this fiendish chapter with a bonus for the energy you saved. Since every merge halves your item count, greedy spawning is a trap — the craft is in spending energy exactly where the story needs it. Quiet, charming and sneakily strategic, with a global and daily leaderboard for the thrifty. Free and instant in your browser.</p>
