## What is Arcane Forge?

Chain the grid. Refine the impossible. Build an empire of brass.

Arcane Forge is a steampunk-alchemy puzzle builder. Draw chains across a board of aether, cogs and quartz to harvest raw materials, and link long chains to refine them into superior reagents. Every expedition feeds a living village and an atelier that climbs through ten tiers, from a single workbench to the Eternal Forge.

CHAIN AND REFINE
• Drag a path through matching tiles: the longer the chain, the richer the haul
• Refine long chains into Elixir, Mechanisms, Storm Glass and other superior reagents
• Boards grow from 5×5 to 8×8 as your atelier advances
• Bring tools and boosters, chase objectives, and vent the boiler before the pressure peaks

BUILD YOUR VILLAGE
• Raise homes for workers and factories for robots, then staff every workshop
• Workshops keep producing tools, Flux and spells for up to 8 hours while you're away
• Trade at the Market, chart new Maps at the Cartographer Office, and run timed research in the Laboratory

ASCEND THE ATELIER
• Ten atelier tiers, each with its own map and machinery
• Four biomes to explore: the Aetherium, the Deep Delve, the Skyward Reach and the Inferno Foundry
• Daily Forge streaks, rotating events and a seasonal Atelier Pass

PLAY YOUR WAY
• Fully playable offline, no account needed
• Reward videos are always optional: no forced ads
• Aether Membership: daily Flux, a higher Map ceiling, and every video bonus without the video

Aether Membership is an optional auto-renewing monthly subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings.
