A sleeping engine. A blasted world. Tend to the fire. Alchemist's Engine is an incremental, crafting & adventure game. ▸ FEED THE FIRE - gather fuel, stoke the engine, and keep its heart burning. ▸ MERGE THE SPARKS - pluck sparks from the embers and merge them on the alchemical table into ever-brighter tiers. ▸ RAISE YOUR WORKFORCE - forge golems of stone, quartz, and metal who gather, haul, and craft while you plan. Feed them back to the engine when you outgrow them. ▸ GROW YOUR POWER - smelt bronze and steel, research forgotten techniques, and upgrade the engine from a cold firebox into a towering machine. ▸ DESCEND - torch by torch, explore a seeded labyrinth of mines: crystal chambers, sunken temples, flooded galleries, and stranger rooms the deeper you go. ▸ UNRAVEL THE STORY - cold hearths, sibling machines, and a sealed gate that has waited a very long time for you.
