AlcheMice

At Alkimia Animation Studio, we created the official 2D traditional animated trailer for the video game AlcheMice, developed by Red Mountain Games.

Our work consisted of producing a hand-drawn 2D cinematic trailer, specifically designed to accompany the announcement of the game’s first playable demo on Steam.

Traditional 2D Animation for Indie Games

AlcheMice is a tactical deck-building roguelike set in a universe inspired by Nasrid Granada. The trailer we produced aimed to showcase the game’s narrative tone, reinforce its artistic identity, and emotionally engage the community ahead of the demo release.

For this project, we handled: trailer visual direction and concept, storyboarding and animatic, frame-by-frame traditional 2D animation, character design and animation, narrative integration within the game’s universe

Using traditional animation allowed us to bring expressiveness, dynamism, and a distinctive visual identity, perfectly aligned with the magical and alchemical character of the project.

About the Game AlcheMice

In AlcheMice, players take on the role of Tycoh, an alchemy apprentice cursed by a witch who controls time through cursed tarot cards. Every playthrough involves strategic decisions that shape the story, combining roguelike mechanics with deck-building and tactical combat.

The new trailer accompanied the official announcement of the playable demo on Steam, marking a key milestone in the project’s communication.
