THE DYEWORKS is a free browser game, free to play in the browser.
THE DYEWORKS is a free browser incremental about a medieval dye house with 40 historical colours to match, 6 vats and 12 upgrades. The colour on the cloth is worked out from the dyes you dip it in, so weld over woad comes out green, and the closer a bolt is to the ordered swatch, the more it pays. How it plays The fields. Weld for yellow, woad for blue, madder for red.
Weld and woad stop in winter; madder grows right through it, and the market sells dye all year, dearer out of season. The vats. A bath weakens with every dip. Feed a woad vat before it turns, and keep madder in its heat band or its dips come out browned. The orders. Take an order, dip, let the bolt air, and deliver when the stars look right. Any bolt sells back as seconds, so a mistake costs little. The pattern book.
Each colour you match at two stars or better goes in the book with your recipe. Each 3 minute season pays more for its own colours. The shop opens wool and silk, iron and tin mordants, walnut and orchil, more field and vats, drying racks, a copper vat and an apprentice who tends the vats. Fill all 40 pages and the dye works is famous, and the house keeps going.
