The Wilds of Dacrima gets May 2026 release on PC

Antler Studios’ physics-based puzzle adventure The Wilds of Dacrima: Field Notes from a Poorly Supervised Alchemist and His Unruly Clockwork Companion will be unveiled on PC next month.

Revealed today, the game will be released on May 12 via Steam and the Epic Games Store. To celebrate landing on 10,000 Steam wishlists, a new trailer has been released.

Em Bailey, Designer at Antler Studios said this about the game:

"We’ve spent six years building a world where the physics engine is your best friend and your worst enemy. We wanted to create a puzzle game that didn't just ask you to push on a button, but asks you to forage, brew a potion, throw it at a wall, and see what happens. Sometimes it’s a solution. Sometimes it’s a spectacular explosion. We consider both to be a success."

A synopsis for The Wilds of Dacrima reads:

The Wilds of Dacrima invites players into a whimsical, Victorian-inspired world where safety is entirely optional. Players take on the role of Edric Tayte, a somewhat incompetent Alchemist tasked with charting a beautiful, untamed wilderness as they try to uncover the roots of a deadly rot. Armed with a bubbling field kit, players must brew volatile potions to manipulate gravity, create makeshift bridges, and solve ancient mechanical puzzles.

You are not alone on this expedition. Players are joined by L-PIN (Unit 734), a Clockwork Companion programmed to assist, critique, and occasionally cause absolute chaos.

A demo for the game is available on Steam right now here.
