The Hardcore Alchemist
Brew. Gather. Survive the night.
Run your own potion shop — if you can survive long enough to stock it. Venture into nine dangerous gathering zones, from the peaceful Meadow to the guarded Palace Garden and the lethal Halls of Garaduk, where the risk climbs with every hour you stay and every step after dark. Come home with what you found — or don't come home at all.
A shop that lives and dies by your choices
Brew potions across five tiers — Basic through Legendary — and price every batch yourself. Undercut the market and sell out fast, or overprice and watch customers walk. Reserve your best potions for personal use, or list them for sale — the choice is always yours.
Nine zones, each with its own danger curve
The Meadow is forgiving. The Forbidden Forest is not. Every zone has its own risk profile, its own danger hours, and its own rare finds — some ingredients only grow in the deepest, most heavily-guarded corners of the world. Danger compounds the longer you stay and the later it gets: risk can climb hour by hour once night falls, in some zones far faster than others.
Focus your search
Pick up to three ingredients to prioritize before you head out — boost your odds of finding exactly what your next recipe needs, instead of leaving it to chance.
Real stakes, real tension
Push too far and you'll face overflowing bags, forced choices about what to drop, and branching events that can go well or very badly. Stay out too long — 48 hours without rest — and you won't make it back at all.
Grow beyond your first cauldron
Upgrade your equipment to carry more, see further, and stay safer in the dark. Build reputation, take on quests, and discover the traits hidden in the world around you.
Every playthrough remembers what you did
Your shop, your recipes, your reputation, your gold — all of it persists, encrypted and protected, exactly where you left it.
