Hey everyone! I've been drowning in images this week, making unique ones for almost all the planned scenes, and I'll start adding them to the game soon.

I've also been pushing ahead with the text and code, but haven't gotten around to the music yet. I'd love to have it, but I'll only be able to dedicate time to it after the main stages are done, if I manage to clear them ahead of schedule.

It has been a highly productive week. I have polished the previous text, fixed a number of bugs, and noticeably refreshed the game's visuals.

Added a new mechanic that will occupy an important place in the gameplay. I am currently thoroughly testing it, balancing the process to ensure it avoids tedious grinding.

Made the interface more responsive. Players can now select characters by clicking directly on them rather than searching through the right-hand panel. For those who prefer the traditional layout, a toggle has been added to the settings to revert the changes.

Hey there! As promised, here is a Friday update.

No previews this time—I've been focusing purely on the text.

I'll be dedicating all my time to implementing everything into the engine and handling the renders.
(By the way, I’ve already patched the bugs that were pointed out to me following the release!)

The game is out, and I’m honestly blown away by all the attention it’s getting. It really motivates me to keep going.

I’ve already started putting together a detailed update plan, and I’ll start sharing some plot teasers with you very soon. Some players have reported a few bugs; since they aren’t game-breaking, I’ll be fixing them alongside the development of the next part.

I took a little breather after the launch, but now I’m diving back in to work on the update. Stay tuned—I should have something new to show you by Friday!

I’m incredibly excited to finally share the very first public build of my game with you all!

A brilliant chemist from our time tests a failed "serum of life" on himself... and wakes up in the body of a deadbeat, alcoholic village alchemist. He opens his eyes only to find his angry new wife and the local blacksmith arguing over his "corpse."
Gone is the modern lab—replaced by a dirty shack. No research grants here, just massive debts to the village chief, the contempt of the neighbors, and absolute poverty. From now on, your goal is to survive, pay off your debts, and prove to the village that you are not the loser they think you are.
