3D PUZZLE - Alchemist House

Based on the game's description, '3D PUZZLE - Alchemist House' is a 3D puzzle where you transfer objects to the right places to create a beautiful house. The game features a house, an original soundtrack, multiple objects that need to be placed correctly, and 6 Steam achievements. [b] Let's start with the positive aspects. [/b] Completing the game and unlocking all achievements took me approximately 6 minutes, making it possible to accomplish everything in a single sitting. While the game only has one ending and lacks a save feature, its straightforward instructions make it accessible to players of all skill levels. It earns a low difficulty rating of 1/10. Interestingly, this was also the first time I've played a game priced at 194.99 euros (its current price). [b] Now, moving on to the negative aspects. [/b] Unfortunately, this game falls flat in almost every aspect. The concept of transferring things to the right places to create a beautiful house seems promising at first, but the actual gameplay is incredibly repetitive and shallow. All you do is pick up objects and drop them in marked spots, and that's about it. There’s no challenge or creativity involved—just basic point-and-click mechanics that quickly become tedious. The controls are clunky and feel outdated, with movement using the WASD keys feeling sluggish and imprecise. The game’s "auto-snap" feature, while intended to help, ends up feeling more like a crutch because the puzzles are so straightforward that completing them doesn’t feel rewarding. Additionally, if you place the wrong item, you can just toss it back with no consequences, eliminating any sense of challenge or strategy. To make things worse, the game is riddled with bugs. Items frequently disappear or get stuck, and sometimes you can even throw them straight through walls, making them impossible to retrieve. The movement controls are problematic, and it’s all too easy to get stuck on stairs, requiring you to restart or struggle to free yourself. These bugs completely ruin any potential enjoyment the game could have offered. While the leaderboard and achievements are intended to add replay value, the core gameplay is so repetitive that it’s hard to justify playing it more than once. If you're a game collector and still want to have this game in your inventory, I recommend trying to get it in a bundle or checking out the Steam Trading Group, where you can find a key for around 1500 gems, which is a far more reasonable option. Realistically, this game's price should be below 10 eurocents. In conclusion, '3D PUZZLE - Alchemist House' feels more like a chore than an enjoyable puzzle experience. There are many better options that offer more depth and creativity, and some of them are even free. Please save yourself the frustration—this is one of the worst gaming experiences I've ever had, and I'm glad that I did not pay for this game.

Что я могу сказать вам? Очень ужасная игра, хоть графика приятная, но минусы: 1) Эффекты (эффекты очень плохо сделано, бьют по глазам, и количество эффектов, что аж фризит немного) 2) Предметы проваливаются под текстуры 3) Ходьба сумашедшая 4) Не все предметы появляются 5) Все декоры ломаются и проваливаются 6) Ну и цена овер Плюсы: 1) Чисто ходить Не рекомендую, лучше купить другую хорошую, чем эту ужасную

This "Game" is a Joke! The Price for this "Game" is a Joke!

195€...trash game

veel te flashy en voor mij geen deftige controls

3D PUZZLE - Alchemist House is a mess. On top of that, it made me feel nauseous. Also, while I most likely received it for free (because ♥♥♥♥ no, my broke ass ain't paying that overinflated price for a game that's not my genre), I will treat it at the value it's being priced, and I don't mean the discount price of ~10€ it has, or the bundle price of ~1-2€, or even the 10€ it used to cost before the dev went insane. I mean the 97,50€ they demand normally, even though they bank on people seeing the insane discounts and going "Wow, what a bargain." After having played this game, I can confidently say that it's not a bargain, if it hasn't been clear already... The goal of the game is to put every item that's scattered on the floor back where it belongs. It's easy, and would make for a decent casual game. However, this game is infested with bugs everywhere, and the gameplay feels horrible due to several reasons. First, they overdid it with the effects. My graphics card is being toasted because of that, and the framerate suffers greatly. This may also be the reason why I got motion sickness from playing, along with the bobbing or the camera. Second, some items glitch away, so that when you pick them up, they aren't visible, and you can't tell what you carry. And when you put it down to deal with another item first, you risk losing it forever, and having to restart the game. Also, you can knock over items that haven't been placed yet, but it hasn't been an issue so far. Third, there are multiples of some items. This is no inherent problem, as the game is generous and lets you place those items at either spot, but maybe the game is [B]too[/B] generous, and thus, you can place the same item at the same spot twice. The consequence is that you will have some blank spots, but thankfully, it's only visual. Speaking of visual, the graphics of this game are pretty good. I hoped so after realizing that my GPU is getting abused by this game. However, the lighting looks ugly, because the blue sparks from the items clash with the environmental light, and they radiate through the ground. Also, because every item that you can pick up has those sparks, the blue light is way overdone, which probably helped in making me feel sick. Anyway, whenever I play games of this quality, I decide to do the most reasonable thing and try to clip out of bounds. I'm proud to announce that you can do so in the kitchen, when you walk through the door and hug the wall to the right. The game doesn't even fight your desire (or misfortune) to fall into the void. It's so easy that it might happen to you by accident (which it did for me the second time). If I know Hede for something, it's for their sense of humour when it comes to setting prices and their unfinished-feeling, asset-flippy games. Neither is this worth 1€ for the bundle, nor is it worth 10€ for the discounted standalone game, nor is it worth 100€ for the undiscounted price. I want to say that this may be money laundering, but Occam's razor tells me that it's merely to lure people in who think they are getting a huge discount. Surely, this heavily unpolished game is not even close to being worth money. If I wanted to clean up a mess, I can do that in my room for free.
