In 2026, after years in development hell, the long-awaited first version of Pasteur The Game is finally here. The SCS Anniversary Game Competition gave us the spark we needed to bring the project across the finish line.

Story

The year is 1848. You are Louis Pasteur, standing at the edge of a scientific revolution. Before you, a table cluttered with tartrate crystals holds the key to a mystery—enantiomers, mirror-image molecules that could change the face of science forever.

Be the first person to sort these crystals into their true forms, revealing a hidden order in nature. Every move counts as you race against time, your rivals, and your own doubts. Will you conquer the challenge and make history? The discovery of a lifetime awaits!

How to Play

In front of you are tartrate crystals in both enantiomeric forms. To start, pick up a crystal and carefully rotate it to examine its structure. Determine whether it is the left-handed or right-handed form. Once identified, place the crystal in the appropriate bowl to separate the two forms. Aim to ensure each bowl contains only one enantiomer (100 %ee). Successfully sort all the crystals to complete the task! Your score will be based on the accuracy of your separation (%ee) and the time it takes to complete the task—faster and more precise sorting earns higher points.
