Wake a cauldron that slept for a hundred years. Brew, collect the 24 Masters, and crack the riddle of the lost formula. No ads!
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.
