RocketBrush Games has unveiled the demo for their latest creation, Ways of Alchemy, a card-based medieval alchemy game now available during Steam Next Fest until March 3, 2025. This event offers players a chance to explore the game’s core mechanics and immerse themselves in the life of a medieval alchemist.
In Ways of Alchemy, players assume the role of a young alchemist banished from his town. Starting with modest beginnings, you’ll grow herbs, gather ingredients, and brew potions in a solitary shack. As your reputation and influence expand, you’ll hire adventurers to embark on perilous quests, bringing back rare and powerful ingredients. Master over 35 potions, collect nearly 100 alchemical ingredients, and uncover countless recipes in a world brimming with dark secrets and ancient lore. Will you embrace the light of pure alchemy or delve into the dark arts of necromancy?
The game features a unique alchemical system based on the five pillars of reality: Void, Mirror, Veil, Pain, and Song. Players can experiment, explore, and determine their destiny in a world filled with mystical challenges and ancient secrets. The demo includes a comprehensive tutorial and the first four stages, providing a glimpse into the game’s rich mechanics and narrative.
