Card-Based Sim Game "Ways of Alchemy" Joins Steam Next Fest

Medieval alchemy meets card-based strategy in RocketBrush Games' sim game, available now during Steam Next Fest.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, CA, UNITED STATES, February 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- RocketBrush Games has launched the demo of its card-based medieval alchemy game, Ways of Alchemy, now available during the Steam Next Fest from February 24 to March 3, 2025. During this event, players can experience the game's key mechanics and immerse themselves in the life of a medieval alchemist.

GAME OVERVIEW
Ways of Alchemy places players in the role of a young alchemist banished from their town. Beginning with humble origins — growing herbs, gathering ingredients, and brewing potions in a solitary shack — players embark on a journey of alchemical mastery.

As the protagonist's reputation grows, so does their influence. Players can hire adventurers to undertake dangerous quests and retrieve rare and powerful ingredients. The game features over 35 potions, nearly 100 alchemical ingredients, and countless recipes to discover as players navigate a world filled with dark secrets and ancient lore. The narrative offers branching paths, allowing players to pursue pure alchemy or delve into the forbidden arts of necromancy.

In Ways Of Alchemy, each player's journey is as complex as the potions they create. Through experimentation and exploration, players determine their destiny in a world rich with mystical challenges and ancient secrets.
