8 itemsAbout the Game
In “Chemist Wanted”, crafting isn't just about gathering a few ingredients and clicking “craft”. To create a compound, you need to combine different materials and processes to produce the desired result. This may involve reacting, dissolving, precipitating, extracting, evaporating, filtering, or even all of them. You will need to do many experiments and build your knowledge to find the best combinations. If you are skilled enough, you may be able to earn enough money for early retirement on your own secluded, tropical island!
Features:
Experiment freely with chemicals
Set up a reactor, add two starting materials and see what happens! Combine liquids and solids to make solutions, use solvents and ion exchange to isolate specific components, evaporate a mixture to induce precipitation, the possibilities are virtually endless.
Play your own way
The game experience will change based on your choices. If you work for a corporate, they will impose strict shipment targets and penalize late delivery, but the pay is decent. Working with criminal elements can make you a target for theft or worse, but the payday could be massive. Alternatively, you just experiment and find your own path.
Learn real chemical transformations
Unlock the ability to use different processes through research. Explore a detailed library that clearly explains each concept with unique visuals at the atomic level. By understanding these techniques, you'll know when to apply them to effectively achieve the desired outcomes.
Increasing complexity
To produce the highest value products you will need to combine several different starting materials using a variety of techniques. The game progressively becomes more challenging by increasing the number of possible combinations to thousands! While the properties and interactions are procedurally generated for maximum replayability.
Features:
- Realistic chemistry-based system for synthesizing high-value substances.
- Vast array of starting materials and synthesis steps, requiring meticulous research to uncover the right pathways.
- Progressively unlock new skills which are linked to a video library that teaches you about chemistry and how to use different processes.
- Engaging storylines depending on who you chose to work for: a fast paced tech startup, a massive corporation, a shady drug dealer, or just in it for yourself!
- An easy-to-use and intuitive UI to manage all your equipment, chemical stocks, product inventory, catalogued reactions, measured properties, etc.
- Ever increasing challenge for those striving to master the art of chemistry.
