📖 The Alkhemist Field Guide
For ages 7–11 · Learn the craft of Khemia
⚗️ What is The Alkhemist?
The Alkhemist is a discovery game inspired by the materials, waterways and craft traditions of Kemet. Start with Water 💧, Fire 🔥, Earth 🌍, and Air 🌬️, then combine them to uncover materials, living worlds and clearly labelled symbolic star-lore.
🎮 How to Play
Click any element in your Inventory or the Periodic Table to add it to the Forge (the box in the middle).
Add two to four ingredients to the Forge. A few master discoveries call for all four foundations.
Click the ⚡ Combine button (or press the Spacebar) to mix them!
If they make something new, ✨ POOF! – you've discovered a new element!
Your new element goes into your Inventory and your Planet grows!
🌟 Tips for Young Alkhemists
💡 Tip 1: Try combining Water + Earth to make Mud! It's the first step to many discoveries.
🔥 Tip 2:Fire + Air makes Lightning ⚡ – super powerful!
🌱 Tip 3: Keep combining everything! Even if it doesn't work, you'll earn Combination Points.
𓋹 Tip 4: Run out of ideas? Ask the Oracle for a clue. It guides you without naming the answer.
🤖 Tip 5: Click 🤖 Auto to let the game combine for you – great for discovering lots of elements!

🌱 Your Planet Grows!
As you discover more elements, your planet enters nine archive chambers:
🌊 Nile Marsh – The living waters begin the work
🏺 Clay & Kiln – Mud, stone and heat become craft
🌿 Green Kingdom – Seeds and habitats flourish
⚒️ Workshop of Hands – Materials become useful tools
📜 Papyrus Archive – Reeds become record and memory
🌟 Star Chamber – Symbolic sky-lore is clearly named
🏛️ Temple Court – Art, balance and careful observation
👑 Royal Archive – A keeper's knowledge grows
𓊹 House of Khemia – Every craft joins the whole
📚 Khemia Codex
Open any discovery to read its Craft process, Ecology, Chemistry, or Symbolic star-lore label. Symbolic ideas are for imagination, not science experiments. Safety notes mean: look, learn, and never try hazardous mixtures at home.
🏆 Achievements
Earn trophies for discovering lots of elements, reaching milestones, and making many combinations! Click A or the 🔬 counter to see your achievements.
🗑️ Removing Elements
Hover over any element in your Inventory and click the ✕ button to remove it. (You can't remove the 4 basic elements – they're too important!)

📊 Statistics
📚 Kemet Materials Gallery
These compact notes connect the game’s discoveries with real materials and crafts of Kemet. The young pharaoh is an original fictional guide.
📜
Papyrus
Reeds from wetlands were prepared into writing sheets and also made into practical objects such as mats, rope and light boats.
👕
Linen
Linen cloth came from flax and was valued for garments, wrapping and ceremonial use.
🟡
Gold
Gold was fashioned into ornaments and royal objects because of its rich colour and resistance to tarnish.
🔴
Carnelian
This warm red-orange stone was shaped into beads and inlays for jewellery.
🟦
Faience
Faience is a bright glazed material, often blue or green, used for beads, amulets and small objects.
🪟
Glass
Coloured glass could be worked into small containers, beads and decorative inlays.
▣ Discovery Codex
Only discoveries in your inventory appear here. Each note separates chemistry, ecology, craft process, and symbolic star-lore, with source guidance where a historical material is documented.
0 unlocked
🗒️ Alkhemist Journal
Review recent guidance from the Laboratory Advisor and any science notes unsealed for your archive.
0 entries
🧠 Science Archive 0 unlocked
Rare discoveries can unlock a short science note. These notes connect game materials to chemistry, ecology, life science, engineering, Earth science, materials science, and astronomy. They are for learning, not home experiments.

⚛️ True-Science Forge Workshop
Separate from the game: build screen-only atom combinations to learn formulas, molecules and alloys. Nothing here changes your discoveries, chambers or inventory. Never try chemistry, gases or metalworking at home.
Formula key: a small number tells you how many atoms are present. For example, H₂O means two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Alloys use + because their mixtures can have different proportions.

Workshop learning badges
0 models studied
These optional badges recognise formula-learning in this separate workshop only. They never change the main game.
◌ Structure viewer
Interactive atom-count model.
How to explore: drag or use arrow keys to turn the model; use + and − to zoom. This shows atom counts in an interactive 3D arrangement, not an exact laboratory-measured shape. Minerals, alloys and large molecules have more complex real structures.
Element reference
Tap any periodic-table tile to open its learning card. Neutral atoms have the same number of protons and electrons; neutron counts depend on the isotope.
✦ Science Quiz
Separate from the game: answer formula and element questions for learning only. This quiz changes no discoveries, scores, inventory or chambers.
