Game Groups > Alchemy variants

Puzzle games based on the concept of Alchemy, a DOS game developed between 1994 and 1997 by Christian Steinruecken. In this type of game the player has to combine elements to create new ones. For instance combining water and fire creates steam, water and earth makes dirt, water and a seed creates a plant, and so on. These new elements can then be used again to create new combinations. Games based on this concept either have the player exhaust all possible combinations or until a list of elements has been discovered.
