The discriminating finger of Bart Bonte has prodded us towards Springtail Studios freebie Alchemia, a highly-wrought exercise in point and click surrealism.
Your character, a sort of furless Womble, is preparing a chicken supper one evening when a winged metal thing swoops down and gobbles it. Being a temperamental sort of furless Womble, he knocks the invader out of the sky with his wood axe.
Job done? Not on your life. The mysterious critter's spirit arises from its wreck, like Hamlet's dad but with more cogs, and demands you build it another body.
Various mechanical puzzles and sumptuous eldritch backdrops ensue. We haven't encountered anything with this much style and personality since Scarygirl. Stay tuned for the next chapter.
