About the Game

Welcome to Kerazand: Enchantments of Alchemy!

In Aether Brew, you take on the role of an apprentice alchemist who escapes from a neighbouring continent and through a chance encounter inherits a long-discarded potion workshop in the mystical realm of Kerazand, near the cozy village of Verdale.

Under the guidance of Eldwin, a ghostly former master alchemist, and his magical feline sidekick, Mr. Mittens, you will embark on an adventure to revive the old workshop, brew magical potions, and re-ignite the enchantments throughout the region.

Explore, scavenge, and brew your way through a world where magic is dying—it’s up to you to restore its brilliance!

Explore, Gather, Brew

Aether Brew is a game of discovery—new ways of interacting with a living, handmade world. Travel through a succession of varied, magical landscapes, from the serenity of Cerulean Grove to ember-hued plains and mysterious caves. Gather magical ingredients and put them to work in your upgradeable workshop, crafting base elements into spectacular potions that will help you earn the gold and experience to change the world around you. As you progress, recipes will grow more complex, brewing skills will improve, and new secrets will come to light.

Simple yet Deep

Within Aether Brew, from the most straightforward to the deepest, the brewing system is approachable yet deep for any level of player to have fun brewing. Experiment with mixing ingredients, or help the eccentric inhabitants of Verdale, and unlock the clues of ancient brew guides they might have. Be it brewing a simple concoction or a powerful elixir, there is always something to be discovered.

Meet the Cast

Memorably vibrant characters with stories and quests flesh out the world of Kerazand: Ivy, the gossipy tavern keeper who knows all local rumours; Arlo, the eccentric artisan who crafts magical trinkets. From the mischievous grove guardian Zephyra Dewleaf to Silvan the wandering merchant who you sell your potions to. Each character brings depth and intrigue into your journey, sculpting a magical world around you.

A World to Explore!

Kerazand is a world full of charming little details. Verdale, which once was the heart of the magical trade in the area, has fallen into decline due to the drying up of its magical energies and lack of magically skilled individuals. Delve into quests that will unleash hidden secrets, restore lost charm to the village, and bring balance once again to Kerazand's magic in the region.

You'll be forming bonds, collecting powerful ingredients, and bringing back the magic that once flowed so freely through this land while you're out exploring Verdale and its surroundings.
