About This Game

"Once upon a time, there lived a witch with a love for books... and an even greater love for helping those in need."

You've got a lot of debt. What better way to pay it off than by running your own magical bookstore?

Get your bookkeeping on by helping customers find titles stored around your little shop. From fantasy to biographical, whatever they want, you've got it!

And if you don't 'got it', it's time to dust off the old cauldron and put your literalchemy skills to work. Craft custom books using different ingredients purchased at the store, or found on one of your bookish adventures.

Try not to mess up or your profits will go down! Remember - you've still got payments to make.

A princess, a wolf, and a sea witch walk into a bookstore. Will you become their friend... or more?

Delve into their past, uncover their stories, and...

...change their fates.

Traverse the pages of their stories all while solving puzzles to change it to their hearts' desires. Explore beautifully crafted levels and meet the characters of their pasts. Find ingredients and key items that can be used to solve puzzles or in your own bookcrafting endeavors!

Your very own furry little jackalope. Aren't they cute?

A Pixel Poxet and University of Silicon Valley collaboration.

Literalchemy was brewed with passion, heart, the PiPo team, and students from USV as a year-long capstone project.
