Frequently Asked Questions

[h3]Greetings Alchemists!
We have decided to help you with some of Alchemist: The Potion Monger's common questions based on the feedback from events (gamescom23’, Tokyo Game Show 23’ and Poznań Game Arena) and people who already played the game.
We hope you’ll find it helpful![/h3]

• What type of game is Alchemist: The Potion Monger?
  A first-person alchemist simulator with RPG elements.
  Players can explore the open-world environment, collect ingredients, fight enemies, and enjoy the broad landscape that the game offers. You can accept missions from anthropomorphic animals that inhabit local lands and complete them for a suitable reward.
  Gathered coins can be used to decorate and upgrade players' living areas to make them more cozy and enjoyable.
  
  
• Early Access while there are more than 10 hours of gameplay?
  We would like to grow the game based on the player's feedback and add new clever player-suggested things to it!
  We have decided to add additional side quests as well as new content. But still, it depends on you how far we can go with it.
  
  
• Is there any common ground with the previous title "Alchemist Simulator"?
  The game shares some similarities, mostly the Aspect-based potion crafting system, however "Alchemist: The Potion Monger" is a new game in terms of graphics, lore, and gameplay in general. We developed a brand new title hence still in the alchemy vibes.
  
  
• Simulation puzzle and adventure game - how come?
  Simulation and puzzle components are mostly to be found inside the player's home/lab while trying to figure out how to create various potions with the available tools and alchemical ingredients.
  Adventure (with some RPG mechanics) can be found in the outside world. You can explore the Island, interact with various characters, do quests, and acquire new abilities.
  
  
• Can my child play this game?
  Alchemist: The Potion Monger doesn't include any gore, sex, alcoholic beverages, nudity, etc.
  The game is a great fit for experienced as well as casual players - those who would like to have fun and chill after a hard day at school or work - even children.
  
  
• I find the game too hard is there a way to make it easier?
  Based on players' feedback during the gamescom23’ (Germany) and TGS2023 (Tokyo), we have implemented two difficulty modes - Apprentice (easier mode) and Alchemist (for more experienced players).
  
  
• How many potions I can brew in the game?
  As for the start of Early Access players can create 66 different potions.
  Effects vary from healing, floating, fire-breathing, explosions, throwing up, increasing strength, and freezing to even nukes.
  We’ll keep adding new ones through Early Access.
  
  
• I have seen a dog and other animals - what is their purpose?
  The main purpose of various alchemical pets (besides keeping you company) is to discover alchemical Aspects of the ingredients found in the game world.
  
  
• Can I pet the dog?
  Of course! How could we not include it?

  You can save your progress at any time by sleeping in your own bed/sleeping mat.
