Developer Push On has unveiled its latest game Alkahest, an action-adventure RPG set in a dark medieval world. The game emphasizes satisfying melee combat in highly interactive environments. Players will immerse themselves in a rich fantasy world, explore detailed locations, master the mystical art of alchemy, and shape their family’s legacy with each new adventure.

Inspired by titles such as Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Dishonored, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Alkahest features creative combat that heavily relies on physics and environmental interaction. You can kick enemies off cliffs, drop trees onto their heads, and much more. Meanwhile, alchemy plays a central role instead of traditional magic. You can follow recipes or experiment with ingredients, and these alchemical mixtures can be used in multiple ways, such as oils for weapons or consumable items, each with unpredictable outcomes.

Alkahest incorporates immersive-sim elements such as stealth mechanics, nonlinear gameplay, multiple gadgets, and creative combinations of these systems. Additionally, enemies dynamically adapt, making encounters challenging and engaging. The game delivers a first-person adventure balanced between scripted moments and free exploration of semi-open locations. The setting is grounded in realism, portraying the medieval era with a fantastical twist. The story also explores personal drama, political intrigue, and compelling factions and characters.

The game does not yet have an exact release date, but it will be available on PC (Steam) and consoles.
