Plague Alchemist is a story-rich pixel art RPG about discovery, corruption, and survival through alchemy.
You play as an outcast doctor investigating a mysterious plague that traps villagers in unnatural sleep — tracing its origin to the world’s decaying leylines.

EXPLORE A LIVING WORLD

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 expanding your alchemical knowledge.

MASTER THE ART OF ALCHEMY

Craft potions, pastes, and elixirs through a simple recipe system designed for accessible progression — discover, refine, and brew what you need to survive.
For those who seek true mastery, dive into the experimentation table: combine ingredients freely, one by one, to uncover hidden interactions, powerful reactions, and rare transmutations lost to time.
Knowledge is your greatest weapon — only careful study and observation reveal the most potent results.

EXPAND YOUR CODEX

Your Codex grows as you explore — documenting newly found ingredients, creatures, and environmental phenomena.
Every page reveals new insight into the world’s ecosystems and the corruption spreading through them.

FACE THE CORRUPTION

Combat is real-time and stamina-based, emphasizing preparation and resourcefulness over reflex.
Use alchemy to empower yourself, exploit enemy weaknesses, and survive the spreading plague.

SEAL THE LEYLINES

Seven elemental dungeons — Earth, Fire, Water, Air, Body, Mind, and Spirit — each conceal a fragment of the corruption spreading through the land.
The first dungeon, the Earth Portal, will be available at launch, with the remaining leylines opening through free content updates as the story unfolds.
Every dungeon introduces new biomes, alchemical materials, and hazards requiring unique preparation and mastery.

A WORLD WORTH STUDYING

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.
