About

Sulphur Memories: Alchemist is a single player role playing game. It was developed by Spellweaver and was released on August 9, 2024. It received overwhelmingly positive reviews from players.

"Alchemist" is a turn-based roguelike game that follows a chased alchemist who has made a Faustian deal. Instead of combat, the game focuses on crafting and problem-solving using raw items and alchemy. To progress, players find and read books, then assemble their knowledge for greater power, making the most out of every item found as there is no "useless loot."
