CHEMISTS: Area of infection changes
Dear Chemists!
For almost 7 years of development, you've been the only thing keeping the project afloat. I want to speak honestly to you—those who've been with me from the very beginning.
New Chapter: CHEMISTS: Dead Zone
What's happening:
Due to publisher issues, Steam isn't transferring the old version.
So, I'm creating a re-release—Chemists: Dead Zone.
What will remain:
The old version (0.4.17 F1)—unchanged, available to all purchasers.
🚀 What's new (already ready):
Ore mining system (5 types of pickaxes)
Smelting ingots and alloys in a furnace (Burner)
2 new caves (ore + coal)
New location
Expanded crafting and NPCs
Plans for summer 2026:
More mechanics, quests, and locations. Launching in the best possible way!
For you, owners of the old version:
Free key – message me in a private message on Discord + a Steam screenshot.
But I'll be honest:
Reviews of keys don't influence Steam algorithms.
And right now, they're all that can help the project take off.
So I kindly ask you:
If you can, buy the new version (there will be a 40% discount).
Add it to your wishlist – it's free and motivating!
Share with your friends—every repost counts.
For 6 years, you've been my greatest supporter.
Videos, streams, reviews, Discord messages—they fuel development.
This isn't the end of Khimiki. This is their best future.
Thank you for being here. I'm waiting for you in the Death Zone! ☢️☣️
Sincerely, Pavel
6 years alone for Khimiki
