AURUM — The Great Work

Base matter, made gold. AURUM is a physics puzzle of transmutation. Drop living substances into a golden vessel, fuse like with like, and raise matter through eleven forms, from lead grey to radiant, until the Great Work yields its prize: AURUM, liquid gold. Substances tumble, settle and come to rest against one another with real weight, in physics written for this game alone. Unions chain into cascades, and cascades sing: every merge plays a note on an instrument built from scratch. A perfect chain becomes a melody you will want to hear again. THE GREAT WORK runs sixteen stages through the four chapters of the Magnum Opus: Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas, Rubedo. Keep the nightly Watches. Turn the seasons at the Orrery. Earn feats and epithets worthy of a master. Your sanctum is yours to dress: palettes, vessels, skies, voices, and finishes that mature, growing richer the longer you keep them. Free to play, and honest about it. No ads, not now and not later. Everything you own is beauty. Nothing you buy is advantage. Begin the Great Work.
