Alchemy Story
PC · 2018
About this game
Alchemyst is a single-player, shareware, block moving puzzle game.
Alchemy is about turning base metal into gold and that's the theme of this puzzle game, or rather turning blue/grey blocks to yellow ones.

The game is entirely controlled by the mouse.
The game area consists of a series of rows of blue/grey blocks all the same size.
There is one row of blocks at the top of the screen set apart from the rest and this contains some yellow blocks, clicking on this row causes the blocks within it to move one cell to the left with the left most cell 'wrapping round.
The player shifts these blocks around until they are happy with the desired pattern and the they click on one of the other rows on the screen.
This transfers the blocks from the top row to the selected row.
If a yellow block replaces a blue/grey block this is a good move, if a yellow block replaces an existing yellow block the result is that the block reverts to a blue/grey block.
The game's objective is to repeat this process until all the lower rows contain nothing but yellow blocks.
The player can select different combinations of row size and height which affects the game's difficulty and the game records the highest score for each.
There are optional sound effects and an in-game help file.
The game is played against a photographic background.
Standard registration cost $5 but the purchaser could pay $20 to have the game customised so that it played over a photograph they supplied with their registration fee.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Alchemy Story for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Alchemy Story to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2018.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for Alchemy Story — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
