Alchemist Watch

Alchemist Watch is a physics-based anomaly hunt game set in a time-looped alchemist’s house. You play a thief who breaks into the Alchemist’s Study for valuables, but touching a mysterious pocket watch triggers a hidden mechanism: the doors seal, time rewinds and anomalies begin to fill the house. To escape the loop, you search for and resolve the changes in reality.

Find and fix anomalies

Each day, objects may shift, duplicate or appear where they do not belong. You wake inside the house, search for anomalies, deal with them and go to bed to end the day. The loop then repeats unless you restore the house to normal.

You can use telekinesis to grab objects from a distance and return them gently to their proper places. You can also destroy anomalies by slamming, dropping or colliding objects. Moving an object from its original position or destroying a normal object creates new problems, so you need to handle the fragile physics objects with care.

The time loop

Anomalies are made from over 300 physical objects and include objects moved from their original positions, extra objects blended into the environment and subtle changes that test your memory. Because everything can be moved, no two days play the same, even in the same round.

The loop begins with one anomaly, then adds one more each round, up to 10 at once. To clear a round, you must fix every anomaly present. Each round has a time limit: fix them all and go to bed to progress, or run out of time and the round resets. Strange disturbances indicate that anomalies remain, and mistakes are permanent until the loop restarts.
