What if a factory game had no conveyor belts, only traffic?

In Gridlock Alchemy you draw the roads and the carts do the rest. Elements (fire, water, air) are transported from springs to alembics to crucibles and more, eventually resulting in products that will explode if not delivered in time.

All for the goal of creating the Philosopher's Stone, allowing the conversion to gold.

Build a network of carts and manage the flow by controlling the traffic through signs, lights, tunnels, teleporters and one-way streets. The bigger the network gets, the more complicated the design.

This demo includes:

  • The first two gates of the Great Work (14 of its 49 steps)
  • Three challenges
  • The Daily: a new map every day, scored by a ten-minute assay of your network

The full game is coming to Steam: all 49 steps to the Philosopher's Stone, every building, achievements, and the Daily in co-op with up to three friends.
