Nora: The Wannabe Alchemist

Witchcraft school dropout Nora can’t seem to keep her houseplants alive, much less excel at alchemy, but her dream is to become a famous alchemist! In this visual novel-time management hybrid, your greatest enemies are klutziness … and a ticking clock.

About the Game

PLEASE NOTE: THE WANNABE ALCHEMIST IS STILL IN EARLY ACCESS AND NOT A COMPLETE GAME. It was released as a full game, which cannot be now changed on Steam. The game should achieve its final form by the end of 2025. Thank you for understanding!


Though a bit clumsy, Nora has a heart full of kindness and the purest intentions. Even though she struggled at Witchcraft School, it doesn't discourage her from pursuing her dream - becoming a world-famous alchemist! Join Nora on her thrilling journey and support her as she proves that she indeed can achieve her ambitious goal!

Start small with simple, basic potions and gradually sharpen your skills to uncover up to 50 new recipes! Each mixture requires different ingredients and preparation, and one of your tasks will be to ensure that their production is smooth and uninterrupted. Fulfill your customers' orders, sell your wares, and advance in the mysterious art of potion-crafting!

This vibrantly illustrated point-and-click game pits klutziness against good intentions – a ticking clock against wilting houseplants. Move into Nora’s cozy-but-cluttered witch’s cottage, brew more than 50 powerful potions and achieve domestic bliss in this truly magical visual novel / time management hybrid.

During your adventure, you are sure to meet many interesting and truly intriguing characters. Take your time to chat with them all and immerse yourself deeper into the magical world of spells, potions and fun. Who knows, maybe some of them will become your friends?


• Brew potions and fulfill orders

• Grow and harvest alchemical plants… or sell them for money!

• Decorate and upgrade rooms of your hut

• Hone and upgrade your abilities

• Collect more than 20 unique ingredients

• Enjoy the cozy and relaxing nature of the game!
