Alkahest is a unique game in which you take the role of an aspiring alchemist working on the Magnum Opus - the discovery of the Philosophers Stone, and the acquisition of eternal life. As you sell your own mixtures, potions and elixirs, you learn more of alchemy and unlock more intricate and useful ( or useless) instruments. As your knowledge expands, so does your shop, attracting more and more important visitors and expanding your influence over the village in which you've set up shop - and the world as a whole. Create custom named Potions, and create your own Recipes. Explore a system of moral choices and "factions". Fund and help equip expeditions to The New World, increasing your range of ingredients. Help people in need of your aid, ranging from a rat infestation to eternal life. Build up a name for yourself amongst the villagers and the Town Criers, be it good or bad. Upgrade your shop with new rooms and stunning new equipment (or something to that effect).

Expanding your shop:

As you can see, now when you chose to upgrade your shop you can choose what you want the room to be used as. This comes in handy when either you need more potion output or just some more storage.
Soon you'll be able to upgrade to many different shops and hire people to work in your old shops, thus increasing the amount of money management you will have to do (you have to pay the staff and pay the taxes on all the sales they make that day).

Auto-crafting:

Last time I mentioned auto-crafting it hadn't even been started, but now it's almost finished! You can only use an auto-crafting table to craft potions you have previously made. This means, once you convert a table to auto-crafting, you can no longer use it to make new potions.
Auto-crafting tables will pump out potions until they run out of the right ingredients, so you'll always have to make sure that they are stocked up if you really want to maximise potion production.
