About Shadow Alchemist

Shadow Alchemist is an isometric pixel art game that blends puzzle-solving and reality-bending alchemy. Awaken in the depths of a shadowy dungeon, you'll embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation that challenges your perception of reality itself.

Key Features:

  • Alchemical Abilities: Master the art of self-transmutation, unlocking powers that allow you to become invincible, shrink to minuscule sizes, and even create duplicate of yourself.
  • Mind-Bending Puzzles: Navigate through increasingly complex environmental challenges that require creative use of your alchemical abilities.
  • Light Combat: Engage in occasional skirmishes with wandering enemies, or use your wit and timing to avoid confrontation altogether.
  • Recursive Mystery: Experience a narrative that evolves with each "escape," as subtle changes in the dungeon and your own memories hint at a greater truth.
As you delve deeper into the dungeon's secrets, you'll uncover startling truths about your own nature and the reality that surrounds you. Can you master the alchemical abilites, overcome the challenges, and ultimately unravel the mystery of your past?

Cute little game. It's one drop of nothing, a thick slice of thin air, a good cut of never was, a sweet moment of doesn't matter. It's just adorable. Ludum Dare vibes. Very short, a bit repetitve, so mind that when you purchase, but it really is a nice little something.

Really good baseline for a larger possible game. Could very easily be a much longer game to play with additional systems implemented. Congrats on the Steam release! I knew what the story was going to be right from the beginning, but still enjoyed how it was implemented. The blob enemies are a little buggy to hit, only seems like there's a left/right attack and not up/down? Still - worth the tiny price for the game. Entertained me for about 45 mins on first playthrough. No real replayability unless you care about achievements. It's a good one-and-done. <3

Very delicious Game!
Not recommended Jul 1, 2025
The game isn't bad, just a bit disappointing. There's very few puzzles, mostly quite simplistic and the combat isn't really fully developed either. With some more advanced puzzles this would be a great game, maybe some Metroidvania elements and a more open map too. The abilities should be more spaced out and the combinations dived into deeper. As it is, I can't really recommend it, even the movement feels too slow. Also on the Steam Deck there is sometimes an issue with a flashing bar at the top, retoggling fullscreen fixes it - I assume it was due to 16:9 game resolution vs. 16:10 on the Steam Deck.

It's a nice little atmospheric puzzler, and well-priced for its length. Just don't do like I did and neglect to work out what button is tied to your knife attack - you can get through most of the game without it, but you will need it eventually.
