Alembic

Alembic is a daily pipeline-construction puzzle cast in brass and candlelight. Each morning you're given an input ingredient, a target compound, and a tray of alchemical operators with strictly limited charges — Purify, Decant, Invert, Distill, Quench, Combine, Split, Catalyze. Stack them into the vertical glass column, press Run, and watch your ingredient descend through the pipeline, transforming at every chamber. Every puzzle is deterministic; every charge counts. Surprise comes from non-obvious operator combinations, never from luck. Beyond the daily, the workshop holds a forty-nine-puzzle Opera campaign across seven illuminated chapters, a thirty-day Archive, infinite Practice, and a twelve-step Tutorial that teaches the Art. Pure logic beneath an alchemist's patina.
