UPDATE: The Alchemy Garden free giveaway through Fanatical has ended. The game is currently available to purchase through Steam for $12.99.
Original story follows.
Alchemy Garden, a life sim game that should appeal to fans of titles like ConcernedApe’sStardew Valley, is free on Steam for a limited time. Theenduring success ofStardew Valleyhas seen plenty of other games mimic the formula, but with their own spin on the concept.
Alchemy Gardenis one such game. InAlchemcy Garden, players run their own alchemy shop, manage a garden, and interact with the local villagers. One of the key gameplay features is the ability to craft potions to sell, with players encouraged to experiment with different ingredients. The alchemy and potion shop angle helpsAlchemy Gardenfirmly establish an identity of its own away fromStardew Valley, but it still has enough in common with the mega hit that it should still appeal to its fans.
