A logic game created by Zachtronics Industries. The protagonist is Anataeus Vaya, the most promising scientist of his generation who has just took the position of Head Alchemist in one of the oldest and richest families in town. His new employers hide a dark secret. The players’ task is to discover what lurks behind the facet of the seemingly perfect family. To do so, they have to build alchemical machines that can create necessary products.

Opus Magnum is a logic game for PC only. It was developed by Zach Barth, an indie developer, and his studio called Zachtronics Industries. Brath is known for designing this type of productions. He created such titles as Infinifactory, Shenzhen I/O, and Ironclad Tactics. Opus Magnum strongly harks back to Brath’s first games: The Codex of Alchemical Engineering and The Magnum Opus Challenge.
