Plague Alchemist is a singleplayer adventure RPG with a deep focus on alchemy. Explore a world where the mundane intertwines with the magical and the corrupt. Harvest and loot your way to uncover the truth behind the world's mysterious decay. Perhaps there is more to it than meets the eye.
EARLY ACCESS CONTENT NOTE
This first Early Access build contains roughly 1 hour of playable content, depending on playstyle. It is small in story and world content, but focused on testing the core systems already built for the game, including exploration, alchemy, brewing, gathering, progression, quests, and world interaction.
Only a small part of the planned story and world is included at launch. The goal of this build is to gather feedback on whether these systems feel fun, clear, and worth expanding before larger content updates are added.
The game is planned to grow through free updates with additional dungeons, areas, quests, items, and story progression.
Plague Alchemist is a story-driven pixel art RPG about alchemy, corruption, and quiet survival.
You play an outcast doctor investigating a mysterious plague that leaves villagers trapped in unnatural sleep, following its trail to the world’s decaying leylines. There is no combat or death; the focus is discovery, progression, and understanding the world through alchemy.
Venture across forests, ruins, and corrupted lands that shift with time and weather. Gather herbs, minerals, and rare components hidden throughout the open world — each discovery moving you closer to uncovering the secret of this plague.
Brew potions one piece at a time. Instead of simply selecting a finished formula, you study how ingredients behave, learn the rules behind alchemical reactions, and apply that knowledge yourself during brewing.
As you experiment, you can record discoveries in your laboratory notes, gradually refining your understanding of the process. These notes do not solve brewing automatically — they help you think, prepare, and make better decisions.
Alchemy in Plague Alchemist is meant to be active and deliberate: observe, reason, test, and brew with care.
The full story is planned around seven elemental dungeons — Earth, Fire, Water, Air, Body, Mind, and Spirit — each concealing a fragment of the corruption spreading through the land.
Each dungeon is intended to introduce new biomes, alchemical materials, and environmental puzzles requiring preparation and keen senses.
With painterly pixel art and atmospheric music, Plague Alchemist offers a slow-burn, methodical RPG for players who value exploration, discovery, and the quiet satisfaction of mastery.
