Alchemandrake
Game Overview
Alchemandrake is a short 3D adventure survival game where players play as a Mandrake exploring the island to find a place to sprout into the great Yggdrasil Tree.
This is a small project based on systemic design, therefore not much polish was done on UI.
Game Mechanics
-
Summon the alchemy circle and combine different materials and discover
recipes as you explore! -
Walking around and alchemising consumes mana, which can be replenished
by mana flowers. -
Mandrake is able to fertilise itself to sprout into new mana flowers in order
to manage mana resource.
