Alchemic Cutie is an adorable new RPG, fitting right in with games like Stardew Valley, Graveyard Keeper and maybe even Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Story of Seasons or Harvest Moon. Unfortunately, since it is a brand-new game, there is little information out there and the game itself is missing a lot of guidance. Throughout the last couple of weeks of gameplay, we have gathered all the information we have come across to share with you here!
Here are a few Alchemic Cutie tips to keep in mind in no particular order:
- You gain more Jelly “space” through the Wubba Temple storyline.
- You can fast-travel home by going to the map and pressing Y.
- Wubba Temple Storyline helps you reach new areas.
- Small pedestals need relics to create new paths.
- Jellies won’t let you carry them when unhappy.
- Reading books at the library regains energy.
- Some items change a Jelly’s colour (dye) or trait.
- “Wash” removes all traits and stats.
- Holding pet button will release your jellies to the wild.
- In the Jelly menu you can hit X for a sub menu with more details.
- Jellies wear items, not you!—Actually how I mark which ones I’m trying to keep, un-accessorized Jellies can go!
- Alchemy can be used on grass (for free!) to get crystals!
- Don’t miss a meal! Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner at home or the restaurant will gain you energy.
- Talk to everyone on your birthday! Presents!
- Sell unwanted Jellies to Gerba’s landfill (Grandma)—free money!
- Alchemy can re-grow crops!
- Fill up your Jelly’s food slots before you go exploring.
- Someone on the island can teach meditation to recharge your energy.
- Be careful closing your storage. The button that closes the menu buys new storage space without warning.
- Barf Items allow you to get items back that you fed your Jelly.
- Save your smelly beans for trading later.
- The Lost and Found will store items you have dropped.

Alchemic Cutie Item Guide
There are pages and pages of items in the Alchemic Cutie Codex, but we wanted to make a quick list you can look up to see what each item does, and how much its worth (though shop keepers will pay less, even Grandma). Here are the items we have found a couple weeks into the game:
This is all we have gathered so far for Alchemic Cutie. Hopefully this will be enough to get you started on Wubba Island.
