Potion-making: Path of the Alchemist

About This Game

The famous board game “Potion-making” is now on your PC!

🜁 The Story

At the dawn of time, the Great Alchemist used the power of the Philosopher’s Stone to create the First Tree. From its roots, a magical world bloomed — full of strange plants and wondrous creatures. Scholars from distant realms gathered at the School of Magic and the Library of Five Worlds to seek wisdom and power.

That was long ago.

Everything changed when the brilliant master Alexander Fulcanelli cast a forbidden spell upon the Essence of the Void. The balance of magic was shattered — and all living things vanished. With its final breath, the First Tree preserved the world from utter collapse.
Now, it calls upon gifted alchemists in all realms to restore what was lost. Answer the call. Visit the Three Sanctums of Power and bring back life to the magical world.

But restoring balance is no simple task.
In the story campaign of Potion-making: Path of the Alchemist, Fulcanelli himself awaits you in a world emptied of life.
He has mastered forbidden techniques, and with the Philosopher’s Stone, he can create anything. He surpasses every living alchemist in the craft of potion-making...
But does that make him truly invincible?
