Red Mountain Games Builds AlcheMice Toward A 2027 Release
A two-person Madrid studio is aiming a deliberately adult, puzzle-heavy strategy game at players in their 30s to 50s and pitching it a year out, with its first original title still unpicked by a publisher.
Reporting from 1 source: 4Gamer.net.
Red Mountain Games, a Madrid studio formed by two veteran creators, is developing AlcheMice, a roguelike turn-based strategy game with a mouse alchemist as its protagonist. Full-scale development began in February 2025, and the team is working toward a 2027 rollout while seeking a publisher. A playtest platform run by developer JC Montero has drawn over 1,000 reviews and an average rating around 8.6.
Montero's pitch for the audience is specific: adults who come home from work and do not want to compete on reflexes against teenagers. The game answers that with card-based magic, alchemy recipes, and summoning on a grid, plus brewing, distillation, and fermentation systems that turn field materials into potions and card effects. Montero describes the balance as hardcore but without unfairness, so reading the situation and deciding well reliably pays off, and players can pick a playstyle that suits them.
