About This Game



CAVYHOUSE, creators of Forget Me Not: My Organic Garden and The Midnight Sanctuary, presents their latest



Level-up not only your character, but your dungeon itself to score huge bumper crops of items and Magic Circles galore!

By continuously exploring deeper and deeper into the dungeon, you can remake (agriculturalize) your dungeon, increasing your strategic efficiency and gradually transforming it into a bountiful and profitable farm in this extremely unique and original Roguelite game combining elements of dungeon exploration and clicker-style gameplay.

The game system itself mainly consists of leveling up your character and the dungeon as steadily and consistently as possible.
In contrast to this rather humble system, the art style is gorgeously ethereal and enchanting.
Lose yourself in the gorgeously ethereal art style, featuring an alchemy + "Cabinet of Curiosities"-inspired motif.

The player takes on the role of protagonist and novice alchemist Irene Morgan as explores her newly-acquired secondhand dungeon.
While fixing up and maintaining her dungeon, she encounters the strangest murder case ever, which she ends up investigating.



The basic game system is pretty simple: Explore the dungeon > Harvest items > Go back home and handle various “preparations” > Explore the dungeon some more.
During the preparation phase, you can develop and expand your dungeon or acquire new skills for Irene.
Learning new skills will allow you to dive deeper into the dungeon and fight against tougher enemies and bosses.


There are two distinct “levels” for each dungeon floor: Farm level and Magic level.
Increasing Farm level will increase the number of items made available;
Increasing Magic level will increase the number of useful magic circles.

Ultimately, if you manage to maximize both levels for a particular floor, you can then agriculturalize it.
Once agriculturalized, the floor becomes a veritable paradise, providing large amounts of items and free of any enemies.
There are over 100 types of skills, such as Attack, Heal, Enchant, Item Management, etc.
Each player can develop their own unique play style based on how they manage and combine their various skills.

Prepare yourself well, go out and explore the dungeon, and level up both your character and your dungeon...
It’s an all-new type of Rogue-like exploration and adventure!

There once was a novice alchemist named Irene.
Having recently lost her beloved mother, she decided to start her own business as a way to help take her mind off of her grief and become more independent.
One day, she found a cheap secondhand dungeon for sale in an online alchemist shop called "Mercuri", and bought it immediately.
However, if a deal seems too good to be true, well...
The dungeon turned out to be full of strange enemies, which Irene must defeat before gathering items for her alchemy practices.
Upon finally reaching the deeper depths of the dungeon, exhausted, she encounters a doll-like set of twins and the mysterious dead body of an unknown man. This is where Irene's dodgy dungeon murder mystery begins...

The events of this game occurred ten years prior to the story of Forget Me Not: My Organic Garden.

Two stories are separate and standalone, so there is no need to be familiar with the previous game before playing The Sealed Ampoule.
However, there are some recurring characters appearing in both titles, which will help provide a bit more insight on this interesting and mysterious world world.

[h1]Mindless and repetitive grinding[/h1] [h1]6.5/10[/h1] It does exactly what it says on the tin—[b] the entire experience is just mindless grinding[/b] like clicker-style games. [b] And it not only gets repetitive after some hours, but also has the audacity to increase the grind as it loses its freshness[/b]; clearing the first 50 floors doesn’t take nearly as long as the journey from 51 to 100.

Progression becomes just about enemies hitting harder to give you a goal to grind toward.

I really enjoyed this game. Don't look at my playtime, I accidentally left the game on for like 2-3 days straight. I played a lot but not quite THAT much, maybe half? If you liked Cavyhouse's previous game, you'll probably like this one as well. It's got a great feeling gameplay loop that hits the "just one more run" sweet spot. (if you can get past the obnoxious control scheme). Also, shout out to the the overall vibe of the game - it's the same mix of irreverent, sarcastic, and creepy that I loved from the previous Cavyhouse game I played. The bad: It's grindy. Every part of the game passes the point where it feels annoying before moving on to the next section. But it's also compelling and addictive and I literally couldn't stop until it was finished. There were points where the balance tipped heavily to just straight compulsion to keep going rather than actual enjoyment, but one way or the other it catches you and you'll keep pressing on to the end. The negative reviews are 100%...
