It's going to be a neutral review as I experienced quite mixed emotions while playing it. [u] Praises [/u]: +Honestly, I started this game to enjoy some explicit adult content but pretty soon I was hooked by the story & mc's inner struggle. That really left a strong impression on me. Alchemy, war, life in a village, heartbreaking betrayal...the whole world was so captivating. +I always appreciate 18+ stories without any patches, dlc and all that headache. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3560735644 +Art is gorgeous, the gallery is full of pretty, diverse, revealing intimate scenes. +Voiced. [u] Complaints [/u]: --Astonishingly I disliked the abundance of sex scenes O_o Seriously, perhaps for the first time ever I found all that content distracting me from the story T_T Sometimes it's just really too much ;) --Though I enjoyed the plot, some twists were so stupid, I felt annoyed & enraged. Again that damn feeling that this weird, illogical nonsense ha...

Story
Two alchemists, bound together by their ambitious research, dreamt of creating a world where people's hearts could be filled with happiness. After many years, they finally developed the means to do so.
This was the birth of "the homunculus that could survive outside of a flask."
The alchemist’s research paid off, and he celebrated a future where homunculi could enrich the lives of humans as their partners. However, he soon discovered that the friend he trusted had other intentions. He schemed with the king to use their homunculi in war, for which he was richly rewarded and appointed as the royal alchemist.
――Betrayal――
The alchemist confronted his friend.
“Using homunculi in war will reduce human casualties. Expanding our territory is the best chance for prosperity to those living in our kingdom!”
"This is how homunculi can make humanity happy!"
His friend argued back.
――Their bond was a lie.――
The alchemist wept in anger and despair. He went against his friend and pleaded with the king to refuse homunculi from war, but in the end, he was stripped of his position and banished from the royal city for his dissent. Lost in despair, he eventually found himself back in his hometown, which was a remote fishing village. The alchemist took up a quiet life in a house on the outskirts of town, avoiding contact with others.
The years went by.
Despite the rumors of the war's end, the alchemist continued his days like a living corpse, unable to confront the lingering scars on his heart. Until one day, he discovered a "girl" who had been stuffed in bags and dumped in the forest.

User Reviews
This story is my first foray into higher end anime/hentai AVNs. I very much liked the story but it read awful fast. It was rough in the love scenes and Waffle should go with less (poor) love scene dialogue, perhaps using one or two more images in them instead would work better. The Alchemist meets all my general VN requirements...but honestly, I was expecting more. Anyway, you play as Rakels, an alchemist of some skill. When you went to University you had ambitious goals for your craft. You managed to push the bounds, and your work made Homunculii possible, when you created them you envisioned all sorts of helpful applications for them. The State however had a different vision, they took your work and your dream and twisted it into a weapon. Seeing your dream misused in this fashion has left you a husk of a man, containing little but a need to atone. You spend your days living on the edge of the fishing village you grew up in, brewing healing aids and other minor nostrums for the peo...
