Welcome to Black Market Alchemist, a narrative-driven crafting and shop simulation game where morality is measured in gold.

By day, you run a humble, legitimate potion shop, selling healing potions and the like to the local townsfolk. But to truly thrive, you must turn to the shadows. You operate a secret Black Market, brewing forbidden poisons, and selling them to assassins, thieves, and corrupt nobles.

Will you become a master of the dark arts, or will the Royal Guard shut you down?

Features:

  • Crafting System: Use your Cauldron and Mortar & Pestle to mix raw materials into illegal goods and powerful potions.
  • Dual Economies: Manage two separate shops. Fulfill everyday requests at the Front Shop, or risk it all for massive payouts in the Black Market.
  • Risk & Reward: Every illegal sale raises your Suspicion. Bribe the guards to look the other way, or face the consequences of a raid!
  • Customer Puzzles: Listen to your customers' stories and deduce exactly which potion will solve their unique, and often deadly, problems.
  • Progression & Skills: Earn Skill Points to unlock persistent upgrades like Haggling and Shadow Cloaking, and purchase new recipe scrolls to expand your expertise.
  • Day & Debt Cycle: Take out loans to fund your business, but make sure you can pay the banker back with interest before time runs out!

How to Play:
Play entirely with your Mouse! Click locations on the map to travel, manage your inventory, and select items to craft. Keep an eye on your Suspicion meter!
