An idle/clicker alchemy game where every potion you brew walks the line between success and disaster.

Become a fledgling alchemist and discover the (risky) art of potion-making. Gather ingredients, experiment with recipes, and grow your lab — but be careful: every brew pushes your cauldron's Instability a little further.

🧪 Core mechanic: Instability Every action raises your Instability meter (0-100%), split into four escalating risk zones. The more you push production, the closer you get to a blow-up — and if your cauldron explodes, you'll deal with the consequences. Even while you're offline, the risk never fully stops.

⚗️ What's in the game:

  • 3 tool tiers to unlock and upgrade
  • 8-10 unique ingredients to gather and combine
  • 15-20 different recipes to discover and master
  • A prestige system, Primordial Essence, to come back stronger after every cycle

Balance risk and reward, manage your lab's instability, and see just how far you can push it before everything blows sky-high.

lazy AI dev forgot to ask the AI to make the game

Hi, thanks for the comment! I hadn't noticed it wasn't launching properly, but I can assure you the game is there, it's just not starting correctly. There's also the app version that you just need to download, which should work fine.

The game works now, you can try it out. If you run into any other issues, feel free to let me know.

the game does not exist...
