Alchemy of the Earth

Alchemy of the Earth is a solo-developed open-world adventure where herbalism and alchemy are your keys to survival. Explore a dreamlike island, gather rare ingredients, craft powerful potions, and uncover the dark history of the Varharti civilization while facing the undead remnants of its people.

Gameplay

Immerse yourself in a vast, hand-crafted world with six unique biomes, each filled with over 200 million interactable plants. Collect ingredients to brew potions and poultices, using an intuitive crafting system that works seamlessly as you explore. Survive encounters with the undead and uncover hidden secrets scattered across the island, including spells, enemies, and mysterious locations. The game features dynamic foliage density settings, allowing you to tailor the environment to your system's capabilities.

Story

Delve into the haunting tale of the Alchemist, Fabian, as he recounts his tragic past—his wife's death, his mother's drowning, and his experiences during the Revolts of Cairo in 1798. Through his narration, you'll learn of the Moly tea, a powerful drug capable of resurrecting the dead from dreams. The island holds the remnants of the Varharti civilization, and as you explore, you'll piece together their dark history and the horrors they endured.
