The game is finally close to a full release!

It’s fully free, no ads, no purchases, fully offline. A real world walking game, you collect resources, brew potions and sell them to merchants. With the gold earned you can buy skins, pets and decorate your neighborhood.

Optionally you can download a street map for orientation, it’s a one time download and should work all across the world (if I didn’t mess up). Let me know if I missed a spot :)

If you want to help out with testing, please join the Google group here (Using your Google Play store email):

https://groups.google.com/g/wandering-alchemist-closed-test

Then join the test and get the game:

    Hello! So I’ve joined the group, I can find the app and click the Install button… And then the store tells me something went wrong. I’ll give it another try later.

    One thing I have a question about when I looked at the detail page: the app is listed as having IAP, but your description specifically says you don’t. Probably just a donate link or something included? But it would be a little bit of a red flag if I were just browsing.

      Huh, that’s a new bug, never had an install go wrong.

      And yes, it’s a “Support the developer” function with zero reward. As I tacked it on with Google Play Billing it shows up as IAP.

    Sounds cool. I’ve joined the group but I can’t see the screenshots and the google play link doesn’t work for me…

      Thanks for joining <3

      You have to join the Google Group with the same account you use on the Play Store, otherwise it won’t work. If you have more than one account linked to your phone you can switch in the store. Only then the play.google.com link actually goes to the app (Thanks Google…) :)

          Possible, finding my way through the Google Play Store Console (what a name) has at times felt more confusing than actually making the game itself. Hopefully it will work soon.

      💚

      Let me know if you have any questions, feedback or suggestions. I just put into the game what I think might be fun, but maybe you have a great idea for more content :)
