Our take on Ways of Alchemy
The defining structure is a choice-driven alchemy career that can conclude in 13 different ways, tying potion craft, estate management, expeditions, and subclass selection to the final outcome.
What is Ways of Alchemy?
Play as a medieval alchemist in a card-based simulation.
Begin with a shack and basic knowledge, then combine more than 100 ingredients to create over 35 potions. Recipes can be followed from a grimoire or developed through experimentation, with ingredients linked to five pillars of reality. Manage the estate, hire workers, sell potions, and balance growing influence against the Tax Inspector and Inquisition. Adventurers can be equipped and sent across five regions on 24 quests, where they may return with recipes, books, artifacts, and other rewards. Fifteen subclasses offer different directions, including pure alchemy, necromancy, and flesh-smiting. Decisions shape the alchemist’s path toward one of 13 possible endings.
