*February 21st, 2025* – WASD Game Studio is proud to unveil their debut title *Alchemists*, a thrilling co-op horror game where ancient rituals come to life, and survival is never guaranteed. The game will release on Steam on February 21st, 2025, with a free demo currently available.
In *Alchemists*, players will join forces to complete four dangerous elemental rituals. Each ritual requires finding hidden ritual pieces in terrifying environments. However, the deeper you delve, the more you will realize you are not alone. A terrifying monster hunts your every move, ready to strike when you least expect it.
**Key Features:**
- Multiple thematic maps to explore
- Special gadgets to survive: UV lights, medkits, radios, and more
- Dynamic difficulty – enemies become more dangerous as you progress
- Team-based gameplay – rescue captured friends and survive the nightmare together
- Community-driven development – your feedback shapes the game
As you work with your team to complete the rituals, remember that survival is not guaranteed. The more progress you make, the more aggressive the monster becomes, evolving with your every move. Your team must work together to stay alive because any mistake could be your last.
**Game Story:**
*Alchemists* brings together alchemy and dark magic in a gripping tale. Players, either solo or in groups of up to four, must solve puzzles and complete four elemental rituals while escaping from a terrifying monster. As players gather ritual pieces scattered throughout each environment, they are tasked with using special tools to survive. Once the four rituals are complete, the monster is destroyed. However, if a player is captured, their teammates must use a medkit to save them. The game's atmosphere is enhanced by jumpscares and tense audio, making each moment increasingly terrifying. With continuous updates, new maps and monsters will be introduced to keep the experience fresh.
**Maps:**
The first map, *Trasmoz*, is set in a chilling environment filled with a church, carpenter's workshop, mansion, barn, cemetery, water tower, artificial lake, dungeon, tunnels, ancient ruins, haylofts, and forested areas. The map offers a variety of locations where players must complete rituals and gather ritual pieces. Future maps will feature new challenges, monsters, and puzzles.
**Talisman Glasses:**
One of the key items in the game is the *Talisman Glasses*. When players find these glasses, only the player who finds them can see the ritual clues, guiding their teammates to collect the pieces necessary for completing the rituals. This adds a layer of strategy, as the team must rely on the individual who has the glasses to lead them through the ritual.
**Upcoming Features:**
- **Fourth Map and Voice Interaction:** The fourth map, voice interaction, and new monsters will be added one month after launch.
- **New Monsters:** New monsters will be introduced in all maps, with different types and abilities to keep players on their toes.
**Investment:**
*Alchemists*, a multiplayer co-op horror game, is targeting horror game enthusiasts on Steam. WASD Game Studio has taken an important step by securing a $300,000 investment from Ad Venture Digital.
