It describes the danger-ridden lair of Armand Kai, a master alchemist haunted by his fear of dying, who desired most of all to retreat from the noisy City and complete his Great Work: finding the means to live forever. The Alchemist is a case centered on a single location that can be played as either a heist or a dungeon crawl.

You have no such luxury you must find the Alchemist’s “Great Work”, even if in the process, you become something else.

His students and followers, remnants of his dark cult, still guard the estate to this day, hoping to retrace their master’s achievements. Rumor has it that it once belonged to an aging alchemist, one who has sought the secret of life everlasting and dabbled with the alchemy of souls.
