Grab the game with a 20% discount during the launch week and play the full Alchemy Story adventure!

I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported the development of Alchemy Story. It’s been so much fun to develop this game and I hope that you will all enjoy it too!

Meet a new villager in Rosehill! She runs the animal shelter, where you can adopt or pet some new friendly animals. You can also date Liliana if you get along with her!



The pets available at the shelter are shiba inus, turtles, hedgehogs, teacup pigs and capybaras! Each kind of pet comes in two different colors you can choose from.

Cats will be available in a later update once the Witch is added in the game. If you want to adopt a cat, be sure to only have two pets for now and keep a pet house available so you will have space for it!

Pets bring home a gift everyday if they’ve been pet the day before. Depending on the kind of pet you adopt, they will bring you a different kind of gift. For example, hedgehogs will bring you flowers while turtles will give you fish.



Up to three pets can be kept at your house. However, each one of them will need their own pet house, and only one pet house is built at the beginning of the game, so you’ll have to build the other two before adopting more pets.

Pets adopted from the shelter are kept forever and can’t be returned, so choose carefully before adopting one of them!



The next update will contain a lot of miscellaneous additions and small requests that I’ve been collecting for a while. It will contain things such as new animations for the main character, all research and delivery quests, secrets areas, new potions and more museums artifacts. I’ll also spend time fixing bugs and balancing the game.

I’m almost done creating the content I wanted to add during the Early Access of Alchemy Story. The last big update will be for the Witch, which will contain the rest of the main adventure and some fun new features the Witch will introduce. My current goal is to release the full version of Alchemy Story in April 2020 and I’ll confirm a specific date as soon as possible!

Thank you so much to everyone who has been following and playing Alchemy Story!

Alchemy Story development

Bunny Park is a tiny game I developed in ten days, and I will get back to working on Alchemy Story full time next week. I'm currently planning for the next Alchemy Story update to be in January!

Thank you and I wish you all happy holidays!!

Meet a friendly dove in your village’s church! She will help you set up dates and marry a villager once you’re ready.



You’ll now be able to marry your favorite villager after increasing your friendship and going on dates! This unlocks new dialogue and behavior with your partner.

Your partner will stay at your house in the morning and the evening, while spending the rest of the day tending to their shop. They’ll also do some tasks around your farm in the morning.



All villagers now have new dialogue for each friendship level! It will change depending if you are at the newcomer, friend, confidant or partner stage.



The dove will send you two cute new outfits to wear on dates or for your wedding!

For the next update I'll be working on a new villager and pets you'll be able to adopt and keep at your house!

Hi everyone! Here’s a small patch to fix the issues reported with the museum update and some extra visibility to help you dig up artifacts!

• Fixed a bug that made it possible to dig up artifacts without the shovel.
  
• Added music to the museum area.
  
• Added a bookshelf with information about the museum in the library.
  
• Fixed an issue that prevented paintings from saving & loading properly. Paintings bought after this update will save properly, but unfortunately paintings bought before this update are lost.
  
• Added particle effects over dirt mounds to make it easier to find them.

Since a few people were wondering what dirt mounds look like, here’s a picture of one! However remember that they are quite rare and it can take time to find them all. I’m thinking about adding treasure maps which could be used to reveal the location of artifacts on the map!



Thank you to everyone who played Alchemy Story and reported these issues to help me improve the game!

A new villagers joins Rosehill! He’ll be helping you collect artifacts and furnish the museum by gifting you a shovel to unearth collectibles.

Gabriel lives in the atelier, a new house you can now visit in the town center. There he paints and trade artifacts with other collectors. In his shop you can find different paintings and the potion recipe for the new Artifact Elixir.



The museum is a new building right by the town center. While empty at first, it can be filled with artifacts found buried across the village and paintings from Gabriel. Artifacts are unique objects related to the village, and finding them might reveal some secrets about Rosehill and the inhabitants.

Donations are also earned by filling out the museum, as the villagers appreciate your efforts to embellish it!



Artifacts are old objects buried in the ground and scattered all around the village. They can be found by the beach, in the forest or even in the mine. Keep your eyes open for dirt mounds as treasures could be hidden underneath it!

Collectibles can either be a small artifact, or a broken piece of a large artifact. Large artifacts are made of three pieces and all of them must be found to complete it. Completing an artifact unlocks a short story about the object.

If you find the duplicate of a collectible, it will be bought by Gabriel to sell to other collectors. Artifact hunting can then be quite profitable!

However, not all artifacts can be found and placed in the museum for now as some of them are buried in the witch's lair. They will become available to find once this area is added to the game.



Paintings are an addition to the late game, as it can be quite expensive to purchase every painting Gabriel has to offer and furnish the museum. However each painting added to the museum will also increase the donations received from visitors.



A new potion has been added to the game to help you furnish the museum! While collectibles are usually hard to find, the Artifact Elixir increase your chance of encountering dirt mounds that can be dug up. It’s especially useful if you’re visiting an area that is difficult to reach and might contain artifacts.

For the next update I’ll be working on friendship and romance! You’ll be able to unlock new dialogues as you reach higher friendship levels, go on dates and marry your favorite villager in a new bridal outfit!

The library update is here! The goal of this update is to make Alchemy Story more accessible to new players... and it might also teach some new tips & tricks to experienced players!



The introduction tutorial is now a bit longer and guides the player through the various features around the player’s home.



This new building can now be found between the player’s home and the study. The library contains multiple bookshelves, each with a unique subject. Information about the lore, the different features and areas of the game are available to read at any time. The library also now contains the transmutation circle, and the study’s basement has been removed.

• Increased fish spawn rate.
  
• Increased the time frame to catch a fish.
  
• Fixed a bug where some potions wouldn’t save & load correctly.
  
• Added dark water as a gift for Noah.
  
• Using the sleepy drink in the mine or forest won’t affect the user interface.
  
• Added the library to the map.
  
• Increased cherries spawn rate.
  
• Fixed a bug where the mine tunnel exits would disappear.

I will now be working on a museum, which will be added in the next update! You’ll be able to dig around for collectibles, complete collections and buy rare paintings to fill the museum and increase your friendship with the townsfolk! A new villager will also move in one of the vacant house of Rosehill and help you start gathering rare items to display in the museum.

Hi everyone! Here’s a quick update to fix some of the issues that were reported since the release.

• Added “M” to open the Map.
  
• Added “Q” to open the Quest.
  
• Fixed the Window mode. Be sure to use a lower resolution to enable it.
  
• Added the option to abandon a delivery quest.
  
• The Boutique quest won’t be overwritten by a new quest anymore.

I’ve also updated the fishing to fix the bug where no fish would be added to your inventory despite catching it successfully. However since this bug can occur very rarely it might not be fixed completely. Please let me know here or in the discussions if this bug is still occurring after the update and I will look into it again.

I’ll be working next on a better introduction tutorial, a more detailed map and a library you can visit in the village to read more about the lore, the areas and the different features of the game.

Thank you all!

The Last Spellbound Villager

After helping this mysterious cat complete his transmutation, all spellbound villagers will be liberated from the Witch’s curse! While the village will be restored, this doesn’t mean the end of your quest. On the contrary, a new chapter will begin once you meet the Witch…

For the Early Access release, you’ll be able to transmute six villagers and complete the first part of the story line. However, it will only be later on that I’ll be able to add the Witch and the new mechanics that come with her arrival.



Aiden Luckywave

Luckily, a few villagers weren’t spellbound and this fisherman is one of them! You’ll be able to chat with him to get your first fishing pole, learn some fishing tips and complete deliveries to earn some gold.



New Potions

Research and brew six new potions, such as the Forester Potion which will increase your luck when cutting down trees, or the Golden Brew to gain a random amount of gold when you drink it!



Outfits & Hairstyles

Unlock different outfits and hairstyles in the villager’s shops! Once an outfit is purchased, it’s placed in your dresser and you can change clothes from home. I plan on adding more clothes you can unlock from quests and secret areas around the village.

Upcoming Early Access Release

As previously announced, I’ll be releasing Alchemy Story in Early Access on August 22. Since I’ve almost finished creating the Early Access content, I’ll spend most of August working on quality of life improvements, play testing and bug fixing.

I plan on posting another announcement soon to outline the content you will already be able to experience in the Early Access version and the future content I want to add for the full release version.

Thank you all so much for your support!
