The Crystal Atelier
A cozy crafting RPG about mining rough gems, restoring them by hand, brewing potions, forging fine pieces, and growing a humble workshop into a master artisan atelier.
The Crystal Atelier is a cozy crafting RPG about turning rough materials into treasured masterworks.
Begin with a humble gem workshop and build your name one careful step at a time. Mine rough stones, chisel away the excess, wash away the grit, mend cracks, infuse elemental essence, and polish each gem into something worthy of a patron's request. As your atelier grows, new paths open through alchemy, smithing, and higher guild recognition.
What begins as a small artisan shop grows into a long-form journey of craft, discovery, and refinement.
