## What is The Alchemist's Study?

Deep in the old quarter stands a study that has been locked for a hundred years. Its master — the last great alchemist — vanished one winter night. Now the key is yours.

THE ALCHEMIST'S STUDY is a cozy idle game about waking a sleeping cauldron and finishing what the old master could not: the Grand Work, brewed from a formula no book remembers.

BREW — EVEN WHILE YOU SLEEP
- Stir the cauldron and plant your first herb garden
- Unlock eight magical stations, from the Copper Still to the Astral Refinery
- Your study keeps brewing while you are away — come back to a full cauldron

A PUZZLE HIDDEN IN LORE
- Collect 24 beautifully illustrated Master cards — Flamel, Merlin, Circe, Baba Yaga and more
- Their words hide the lost formula: four secret ingredients, four exact measures
- Read closely, brew boldly, and complete the Grand Work — then uncover the Second Work

GROW WISER WITH EVERY RUN
- Transcribe your grimoire to earn permanent Insight
- Spend it in the Insight Shop: a stocked pantry, longer offline brewing, a stronger stir
- Catch shooting stars for a burst of sevenfold production

HONEST BY DESIGN
- Pay once. No ads. No in-app purchases. No tracking. No account.
- Plays fully offline — perfect for flights, commutes and quiet evenings
- Your save lives on your device, and nowhere else
- Complete in English and German

Light the embers. Read the Masters. Find the lost formula.
