- The symbols mean nothing if they aren't taught to the player before they're forced to be used. The UI needs some work to increase playability, such as highlighting, hovertext, etc. The sound and art design were pretty dang good. Keep at it. Looking forward to what you have next!

Tell us about your game!
You play as a detective trying to uncover the secrets of a society of alchemists that live in a range of secluded mountains. These alchemists are obsessed with a game they call "Legerdemain". They use it for more then just entertainment, it is a way of communicating with each other. You must beat them at their own game by using an "alchemical eye" that you received in a recent surgery. Be warned, the alchemical eye is "experimental", and could have some unforseen side effects.
The game is played by using token of energy to manipulate an effigy that you use to fight your opponents effigies. Different types of energy will increase different stats for your effigy so choose wisely. When you play three of the same type of energy in a row is when your alchemical eye comes in. It will synthesize the overflowing energy into a powerful bonus, and build up a residual charge that can be used for other abilities.
The game is played entirely with the left mouse button.
