Snow Leaf Studios is inviting players to uncork their creativity with Brew, a single-player action rogue-lite that places alchemy at the heart of every battle. Set within the hallowed halls of the Alchion Alchemy Academy, the game offers more than combat challenges, it asks players to live the life of a student, balancing study, friendship and daring climbs into the Academy’s ultimate trial, known simply as The Tower.
The Tower looms as both test and battleground, a shifting labyrinth designed to push each aspiring alchemist to their limits. It is here that potions transform from classroom experiments into lifesaving tools. Every concoction brewed has multiple possibilities: drink a potion to heighten your own abilities, hurl it to alter the battlefield, or slot it into your potion gun to unleash devastating transformations upon your weapon. With countless combinations at hand, each ascent is an opportunity to reinvent your strategy and discover unexpected synergies.
Life at the Academy is not defined by combat alone. Between runs into The Tower, students wander candlelit corridors and glass-roofed atriums where moonlight pools on stone floors, and the air hums with whispered theories and half-remembered rites. Professors keep curious hours in hidden laboratories, while the library’s sealed stacks occasionally creak open to those who ask the right questions. A shared cup of tea in the greenhouse can turn into a lesson in rare botanicals, and a well-chosen gift might grant access to a classroom after midnight. Friendships deepen through quiet discoveries and small acts of trust, unlocking recipes, personal quests and moments that feel like secrets passed from one alchemist to another.
Reward comes in many forms. Players will uncover hundreds of badges, secret rooms and rare ingredients that encourage experimentation and mastery. Each discovery offers a sense of growth, whether it is a newly unlocked potion recipe, an evolved combat style or a hidden path within The Tower’s ever-changing floors. It is a system that ensures no two runs ever feel the same, with every session offering fresh opportunities to refine and redefine one’s approach to alchemy.
In Brew, the studio pairs curious minds with quick reflexes, letting imagination steer the fight. It is a game built on experimentation, inviting players to push the boundaries of what their potions and their relationships can achieve. At its core, Brew is the thrill of discovery, from uncovering the perfect recipe to mastering a new playstyle, or finding companionship within the bustling life of the Academy.
For those who feel the pull of The Tower and the shifting tides of alchemy, Brew opens its doors as a place to explore, to tinker and to grow. Each climb offers room for personal tactics and quiet moments of hard-won progress, inviting players to choose a route that suits their temperament and trace their own line through the Academy’s mysterious heights.
Curious minds can step into the Academy today with the free Brew demo (on your chosen platform below), a hands-on glimpse of potion crafting, shifting Tower floors and the quiet intrigues of campus life. It is a compact slice of the experience, enough to test favourite mixtures, feel the rhythm of combat and meet new faces in the halls, setting the stage for those ready to continue their studies in full.
BREW will be releasing in Q4 2025.
