Alchemist: The Potion Monger – A Magical Blend of Puzzle and RPG Awaits! | The Gamerheads Podcast



Art Games Studio proudly presents Alchemist: The Potion Monger. A unique mixture of Puzzle and RPG game, in which you can leave your lab, venture into the world, and change it with your brews!


In Alchemist: The Potion Monger you take the role of apprentice of the alchemical arts, in a world full of anthropomorphic animals! (described or thought of as having a human form or human attributes ~Merriam-Webster)

Choose your character "Race" from a wide array of animal types, with their strengths and weaknesses.


Take all your savings, and your trusty dog and purchase a home on the Island far far away from the continents…



Design your Home/Lab!


...and make it truly your own! - Alchemist: The Potion Monger will allow a lot of customization in designing your home and yard.


When you first arrive at the Island as an alchemist apprentice, you'll have an empty home, a sleeping bag, and only some basic alchemical tools with you.

Slowly you'll be able to fill the space with furniture, trophies (from slain bosses), advanced tools, and some other weird stuff.


Acquire Blueprints from the market, find them in the world, or receive them as a quest reward, and make your, empty at-first, home a true mansion of the wealthy alchemist!



Alchemy!


Alchemy is the key aspect of the game (as you surely expected from the title called Alchemist: The Potion Monger).

Every potion recipe is based on Aspects - reflections of emotions, forces of nature, and ideas. Aspects are divided into four Elements:


  • Earth - the backbone of many brews, such as Healing Potions, Poisons, Resurrection Potions, and many more!


  • Air - a huge part in Speed Potions, Jump Potions, Perfumes, and all kinds of mind-boosting brews.


  • Fire - can set fires (what a surprise), explode, cause aggression, or spread love <3


  • Water - creates brews such as Cleaning Potions, Quick Reflexes Potions, Ice Potions etc.


Creating a potion is no easy task and every brew is a Puzzle to solve.

How you solve them will depend on the ingredients and alchemical tools you have available.


Use various alchemical (and not only... - demonic altars, holy waters, time-controlling sands, and more) tools to process the ingredients.

Then put them into the cauldron and start brewing!



Potion trading!


Everybody has to eat, and is there any better way to make your coin than to sell magical potions to those in need?


Start with working for the middleman and fulfill potion contracts to earn Gold and Reputation. Receive bonuses for better-quality brews, and slowly grow to purchase your market stall!


Potion using!


During your adventures, you may need healing, immeasurable strength, insanely high jumps, or even the ability to fly, help yourself and drink one of your brews!

Every potion can also be thrown to create an environmental effect.


Set fires, launch wildlife and NPCs into the air, or make the whole village throw up!


Do good, bad, or just have fun - the whole world is your playground.
