A complete organic chemistry study app with a full roguelike deckbuilder living in its basement. Drill every topic, push every mechanism's arrows yourself — then descend into a lab gone wrong, where the same chemistry keeps you alive. STUDY — EVERYTHING BEFORE THE EXAM (AND AFTER) • 1,000+ Practice Items: ~20 drill formats across every topic — formal charge, stereochemistry, spectra, synthesis, and more. Built for semester exams, MCAT review, post-bacc and continuing education. • Push the Arrows: Every mechanism, step by step — watch each move explained, then draw the electron-pushing arrows yourself and get graded on them. Stuck? Hints and a worked solution are one tap away. • Full Mock Exams: Build a practice test with pace presets and exam-style deferred feedback, the way the real thing scores. • Flashcards & References: 28 decks with spaced review, authored lessons per topic, and the complete reaction library — a quick reference that stays useful on the job long after the exam. PLAY — THE BONUS: A REAL ROGUELIKE DECKBUILDER • Contain the Outbreak: Something got loose in the university's chemistry building. Descend the sublevels, requisition your deck from the stockroom, and seal the source. • The Chemistry Is the Combat: Reagents are cards. Match nucleophiles to electrophiles, chain mechanisms for payoff turns, and mind the thermometer and the pH meter — the conditions punish greed. • An Ever-Changing Lab: Every expedition redraws the containment map — different rooms, specimens, caches, and bosses. Every fight quizzes the same chemistry you study. Free to try. One purchase unlocks everything — no subscriptions, no microtransactions.
