Synthon features an encroaching darkness mechanic that limits your vision and a spell casting system where you punch in the right alchemical elements with your number keys. I hope you enjoy it!

This was a ridicuously ambitious project for me. Thanks for creating the opportunity to share it with other weirdos!

Well done! I like the idea of crafting-on-the-go... I'm fumbling around with ingredients in the middle of combat. Only being able to see around where the mouse cursor really made me feel like I was searching around in these caves. Well done!
A compelling blend of alchemy, combat, and exploration in treacherous caverns where the monsters aren't the only thing to worry about? Sign me up! Or so I thought, until the panic started to set in! The spell combo system made me feel like a smarty wizard :D Heartily recommended for a proper dungeon adventure with lovely atmosphere!
I think you described the game better than I did in my sleep deprived state, glad you enjoyed the experience!
