A roguelike deckbuilder where alchemy fuels your cards, dice shape your fate, and sins whisper in your ear. Build your deck, forge your path, and decide what kind of soul you’ll become. All buffs react to one another as proper alchemy should do!
Hollow Alchemist
Steam
The world was broken by hubris. Alchemists once tried to create perfect life, and their failures left scars across every nation. The result where the Humunculi — beings born from sin, each embodying pride, wrath, greed, and more.
You play as Fumiko, a homunculus unlike the others. She is a blank slate, born without sin, searching for what it means to be human. Along her journey, she’s joined by companions with their own voices, histories, and reasons to travel east. Together you’ll cross deserts, jungles, ruined kingdoms, and holy empires — each with its own sayings, traditions, and secrets.

At its core, The Hollow Alchemist is a roguelike deckbuilder. Combat is fast but thoughtful, built around elemental combos, buffs, debuffs, and companions. Every run offers new choices, new cards, and new fragments of story to uncover.
Water buff extinguish Burns - Wind buffs increases your Burn - Earth buffs absorbs water etc. etc.
you get the idea... all your buffs interact with each other as it is proper alchemy at works during the fights!!!

The road isn’t just about battles. On the nodemap eastward you’ll stumble into quiet villages, war-torn ruins, and the occasional eccentric homunculus who insists on testing you with puzzles that are… let’s say, creatively designed.
Each Sin you confront leaves a mark. Marks grant you power, but they also change you. The more you use them, the more their voices creep into your own. The challenge is not only to survive — it is to decide what kind of being you will become.

Beyond the standard cards, you can also create your own. Unleash your creativity and combine the four elements however you like!
We can’t wait to see what wonders you’ll bring to life—awaken the alchemist within!


The Hollow Alchemist is inspired by the roguelikes we all love but leans, at least a bit more into narrative. Cards aren’t just numbers — they’re fragments of alchemy, each tied to an element and a reaction. Buffs and debuffs stack in different ways, from steady burns to sudden collapses.
The story matters as much as the fights. This isn’t a faceless roguelike loop — it’s a journey about identity, sin, and humanity, with companions who bring their own perspective to the world. Some moments are light and colorful, others dark and reflective.
Yes, it’s a game about building decks. But more than that, it’s a game about building a future.
I AM SCARED TO ASK BUT... if you like what you see...would you leave a wishlist?
