Aurum
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 — lead-grey to radiant — until the Great Work yields its prize: AURUM, liquid gold.
The Craft
Substances tumble, settle and kiss with real weight. Unions chain into cascades — and cascades sing: every merge plays a note on a bespoke instrument, so a perfect chain becomes a melody you will want to hear again.
The Work
Walk the sixteen stages of the Great Work through the four chapters of the Magnum Opus — Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas, Rubedo. Keep the nightly Watches, turn the seasons on the Wheel, and earn feats and epithets worthy of a master.
The Sanctum
Dress your practice in beauty: palettes, vessels, skies and voices — and finishes that mature, growing richer the longer you keep them. Everything you own is beauty. Nothing you buy is advantage.
The Promise
No ads. Ever. Free to play, honestly: spend only on beauty, never on power. No third-party tracking — your practice is yours.
The Ledger
Begin the Great Work.
