Evaluation

Alchemist: The Potion Monger spent roughly a year in Early Access (from October 16, 2023) working through a structured six-part roadmap that the developer published in November 2023. All six roadmap phases — Storage, Almanac, Christmas/Priest, Lighthouse, Carnage & Destruction, and New Home — were targeted for the Early Access period. The game reached its full 1.0 release on September 25, 2024, which the developer described as "our biggest update to date," adding new NPCs, quests, enemies, furniture, and more. A small follow-up patch on October 8, 2024 added a few new skill books and fixed bugs. That October 8, 2024 post is the last recorded developer communication. No further content has been announced since launch — no new roadmap, no DLC listings, no teasers, and no mention of ongoing development beyond standard maintenance. The game launched as a complete product after fulfilling all its Early Access commitments, and the developer has not signaled any plans for additional content.

About this game

Alchemist: The Potion Monger is a mixture of simulation puzzle and RPG game, in which you can leave your lab, venture into the world, and change it with your brews!


Take the role of apprentice of the alchemical arts, in a world full of anthropomorphic (described or thought of as having a human form or human attributes ~Merriam-Webster) animals!
Choose your character "Race" from a wide array of animal types, with their strengths and weaknesses.

And begin your alchemical journey!

BREW POTIONS

Use various alchemical (and not only... - demonic altars, holly waters, time-controlling sands, and more) tools to process the ingredients.
Then put them into the cauldron and start brewing!

SELL YOUR BREWS

Residents of the surrounding town and countryside, have their potion needs, fulfill them and become the wealthiest alchemist alive!

USE THEM YOURSELF!

During your adventures, you may need healing, immeasurable strength, insanely high jumps, or even the ability to fly, help yourself and drink one of your brews!
Every potion can also be thrown to create an environmental effect.
Set fires, launch wildlife and NPCs into the air, or make the whole village throw up!
Do good, bad, or just have fun - the whole world is your playground.

EXPLORE

Venture outside your warm and safe alchemical hut into the world, discover various secrets, meet distinct NPCs, and gather ingredients!
Collect merit badges and then complete the assigned challenge to learn new skills.
Find out how to pick poisonous plants, trade more efficiently, get into the battle frenzy, regain health by helping others, and much more...

DISCOVER ALCHEMICAL ASPECTS

Every ingredient you'll find consists of alchemical aspects.
To find out about them you'll need some help from your pets.
Unravel the whole Great Alchemy Wheel!
