## What is AURUM?

Base matter, made gold.

AURUM is a physics puzzle of transmutation. Drop living substances into a golden vessel, fuse like with like, and raise matter through eleven forms, from lead grey to radiant, until the Great Work yields its prize: AURUM, liquid gold.

Substances tumble, settle and come to rest against one another with real weight, in physics written for this game alone. Unions chain into cascades, and cascades sing: every merge plays a note on an instrument built from scratch. A perfect chain becomes a melody you will want to hear again.

THE GREAT WORK runs sixteen stages through the four chapters of the Magnum Opus: Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas, Rubedo. Keep the nightly Watches. Turn the seasons at the Orrery. Earn feats and epithets worthy of a master.

Your sanctum is yours to dress: palettes, vessels, skies, voices, and finishes that mature, growing richer the longer you keep them.

Free to play, and honest about it. No ads, not now and not later. Everything you own is beauty. Nothing you buy is advantage.

Begin the Great Work.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-09-16

The Great Work grows. Four new rites join the shelf: Jade Court, Pearl of the Moon, Cinnabar and Sapphire Deep, each with its own palette, vessel, sky and voice, and every rite ripens through four degrees. A star falls now and then, and tonight's star is the same for every alchemist. The vault glows with all the gold you have poured, and a returning alchemist meets a second night. Thirty-eight deeds, a weekly circle on the firmament, and a quiet word at your usual hour, if you allow it.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-15
