You play as the Warden, a mysterious alchemist, who needs to put their skills to protect this realm from the encroaching Corruption. Craft, brew, boil & concoct and protect the realm from The Serpent Rogue!
The Serpent Rogue has laid down roots on Mount Morbus, wherefrom its seething Corruption spreads and threatens to overwhelm the realm. It is your task as the Warden to confront it and restore balance to the natural order of things. Explore every corner of the map, unearth secret passages and gain knowledge to stand against the incoming disaster.
The game is heavily focused on crafting and experimenting with multiple types of potions and receipts. Use alchemy skills to transform or create situations to your own advantage. Set up your mixing table and help the denizens of this cursed land; take their quests and earn resources to further your exploits.
All your actions can create interesting sequences of cause and effect. Gather too many pets in one place and this will attract blood-thirsty Reapers that feed on alive. Forget to bury the perished ones and your location starts to attract corpse-eating ghouls, which attack everything on their way. Gather too many items in one location and be ready to deal with plague-spreading vermin.
You can transform yourself or anyone else into… well, anyone! Brew potions that change certain aspects of creatures you meet on the way. Alter your body, so that poison will heal you, or use special abilities to other species.
Wreak havoc or create a flawless mechanism from a chicken farm that produces shovels…
It’s all up to you!
