Royal Alchemist

Cannot wait for this to come out on steam!!! <3

Just wanted to say for other people who might read this that my problem was settled and that the creators were very helpful, so I hope that my little outburst down there doesn't stop anyone from buying the game. (^__^)

Sooo, I paid 50$ to get the early access but I still only have access to the demo. I am bit... frustrated and I would like to know if there is something I did not understand when  I bought the product.

Hello, I kickstarted/pledged the Servant's Approval (USD20$), will I still get the key right, just not the early access? Just wondering since I can't download the early access part ahaha ^^

I've kickstarted the project and I've been unable to download it. is there something I'm missing?

Tommorows finally the day^^ got so glad when I saw the release date was just in a few days when I rechecked if any of the games I liked were releasing soon. Loved the demo with its mechanics and most importantly the characters, good stuff. 

Hi! Will it be possible to buy Royal Alchemist through itch? The preorder seems to only be to get the game Steam. I realize that I might be in a minority but I would rather buy the game on here. Loved the demo and looking for the full version. Thanks!

Loved the demo. It was really well-written and thought through. The stats element of the game is quite refreshing and it' s nice to see it affecting the game so much. I got an ending with Serin and I don't really regret. I think it's the first game for me where it's hard to decide which route to pursue. Serin is kinda middle ground between flirty Nazir and serious boy Aurelius so I guess I will start with him first when the game comes out. Waiting for it <3

*screams* I just finished the Demo and this is so good! I can't wait until the full game comes out! Ahhhhhhhh!

Is it possible to pre-order the artbook and guide seperately?

I have ordered the standard edition before and I don't want to buy the game for a second time...

When is the predicted release date?
I think it written somewhere but I dont see any .
Already pre-ordered btw now just waiting for the full game~

Really enjoyed the demo, I might have the game saved in my steam wishlist for when it comes out. :P

Really loved this game-- love the art, the story, and the UI. Went through and collected all the endings all in one go, and can't wait for the full release!

As with other commenters however, I did have issues unlocking Death #3 even with the guide-- I think there's some sort of bug where Serin swoops in to save the day and the light/wood check points pass even though the actual values don't meet the cutoffs. 

I loved this game before, and I still love it now. It's improve significantly from a year ago. The art and gameplay is still the bomb, and even better than before. I remember pleading to my grandfather to buy this someday, and now I just finished filling up the kickstarter survey.

Anyways, there's something that was bothering me while playing. I'm not sure if others have noticed this, but "male" Alexis's worried face's mouth and nose seem kinda out of place. I don't know if that's intentional, but it just looked off, especially when he's talking. If that IS something you'd look into, I edited the picture a bit just to show you what I mean.Of course it's not that good of an edit. After all, it's your project. In the end, this is an awesome game I'm really looking forward to play.  I think you are all doing swell, and this game is the best.

P.S. Still hoping there would be a regent ending.

I've just finished the demo... And wouaaaah ! I love it so much !!! Good art, cool characters and cool gameplay !
I love the fact that we can die, and that our stats have real effect on the game !
I will definitly order it when out ! :)

The demo was amazing! Beautifully made, the art was amazing and so is the animation, the music was very fitting to the scenery and atmosphere and the game mechanics were great! The characters were super interesting, the story got me really curious and overall the demo was very enjoyable in my opinion. My favorite prince is with no doubt Aurelius. I'll be checking out the pre-orders for sure!

Hi, I must say, I really like the game. It looks good, the story is nice and looks like it uses the kind of tropes I really love and the stats system is nice (though it does frustrates me in a way, mostly when I first played it, as I'm a perfectionist, but replaying it made me accept I could fail some parts of the story without it being necessarily bad for me (or the character I wanna spend time with).

I just have one problem: I'm currently trying to get every bad ending but for some reason I can't get the 3rd and 6th. Even with the guide. Serin always ends up saving me, even if, for instance, the only stat I raise for him is fire, and for me intelligence/combat. I stay far from him, don't raise charisma, don't do any mission, but I keep getting the 4th bad end... And even though I survided with Aurelius, not raising his darkness enough meant 4th death... I feel like I tried everything...

Also, just being a nitpick, the mc's position in the grimoire feel a bit uncomfortable, I'm not sure why, maybe it's the legs or the orientation of the different parts of the body.

Anyway, good luck to you

is there a demo guide >.<

I have survived the demo, the question is, will my save files be carried over to the game itself when it's released?

This is an amazing and wonderful game! The graphics are great, the music is enchanting, and the storyline is amazing. I like the concepts of the storyline and the music best. The narration could do a bit better though.

When I am reading the story, some parts of it don't fit in with all the intensity, so please do check the script. Also, some sound effects don't match as well, for example when the potion exploded in Week 10, the sound of it was far more powerful than the descriptions. 

Otherwise, wonderful game, great artwork. Keep up the hard work! I will be waiting for the release!

I played this expecting it to be quite similar to the original demo and was quite pleased to find it varied in the best ways! Impressed, as usual! 

Question: How much will it cost, once published fully?

I've only just started the demo- but I'm enchanted already! I'll make sure to leave a full review when I've finished! However, one thing I've noticed is the Grimoire- the symbol on the cover of it, and the symbol for "darkness", is the Star of David. This doesn't quite sit well with me; surely a five-pointed pentagram could serve the same purpose that the six-pointed Star of David was intended to? I think it may even be better for it, as it is already associated with the occult/magic, rather than the Star of David which is associated with modern Jewish identity. If you wish to avoid religious symbols entirely (as the pentagram is used by some Wiccans), a triskelion may also be appropriate? 

Edit: I see this was already pointed out- my bad, I should've read on! 

Also I did notice two areas that could be re-worded if you want??

"...the more in the instruction of an art..." perhaps 'an emphasis in the instruction' or 'better for the instruction of' because the sentence is a tad unclear

"In that case, the Lord President..." i'm probably just picky, but 'Other than that' or 'in addition to' would be better suited, as "in that case" usually references an alternate or exclusion, rather than something that is in addition to something else

I don't mean to come off critical, they were just two moments that took me out of the game so I thought i'd mention it- sorry this comment got so long ':(

I loved the demo so much, cant wait for the full version^^

Ah...quick question is the full version gonna be free or not?

Played the Demo, loved it. Looking forward to the full release. c:

I discovered this game on accident a few days ago and download the demo out of sheer boredom and I got to say I absolutely love it!! I can't wait for the full version <3 Just one question, why did you use the Star of David  on the grimoire and as a sign for dark magic?

I absolutely love this game! The graphics are very pretty, and I enjoyed the branching choices, though I'm not very far into it yet. Would it have changed the story if I chose to attack them head on instead of retreating>

Also are there multiple endings?

Either way, I'm going to be playing this game every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday until I've finished it, so if you want to see more, then remember to subscribe!

I'm so hooked on this game. Love all the intgrigue >:3 This game will for sure be on my to buy list when it's fully released! <3

I honestly don't remember how many months has it been. Whenever i search any new games at itch that i would love to play, I would always come back here to see if anything is available . Be it, extended demo or full release of this game.

In one of the comments that i saw said full game is Scheduled to be at the beginning of the next year. ... *smile* Looking forward to it. I really love and enjoy this game. 

How dare you guys! Right off the bat you get me attached to this guard character and then break my heart and soul into a million pieces a few seconds later.

Honestly though, this is one of the first games I played here in itch...look at me now! Having an account and posting opinions that the void don't really care about. At first, I was confused on what the hell I was supposed to be doing. It's a good thing, really. I was lost because this game was so different so unique. I've never played a game quite like it.

The MC, for once, isn't the one who has actual royal blood 'destined-to-rule' and all that. The MC's character actually have depth that a lot of these types of games lack.

Then there was the thing where you plan the three's scheds which builds up their powers and stuff. First game I played  that didn't make that boring. 

There was also the map stuff where you choose which ones to help. I've never played any game that had that. I literally stared at the screen for a couple of minutes before I...hesitantly...clicked anything. 

I loved the potions stuff too. Like, a lot of games, you only see the consequences of your actions as you are nearing the end but with this, you can clearly see how your choices affect future events, whether in the long run or not.

All that it's only a demo. I get so caught up in playing that I had to remind myself that when I reached the end, back when this was new. Now I'm back to play it for the nth time. Great job in keeping me here as your game's slave prisoner with a job to play!

When is the full game to be released?

I really enjoyed playing the demo - I was devastated by the time I reached the gates after the opening scene, about that poor soldier that died in the crossfire, quite literally - RIP in peace, family man of the year. I think stat raising in general sort of provides a different engagement and depth to any otome, specifically, that I really like - the screen for the stats of the MC as well as the three princes is very well designed and easy to navigate. I also like how the individual princes challenged my first impressions of them. The sounds are a little bit of a wild card for me - hit or miss, I suppose? - but I do like the cutthroat court setting and also all of the supporting characters. Nazir seems... inspired a little from the Middle East? It was quite jarring to see him speak in a more... stereotypically British manner while joking around, but I expect backstories will be revealed in due time so I can't nitpick lol. Good luck! Thank you for the hard work!

I'm really enjoying this so far! As another user has said, due to the weekly events raising stats doesn't feel tedius and is actualy fun. I can't wait to see how the romance aspect/s turn out, thank you for the hard work!

I finished playing the demo last night and have to say it was very satisfied. Unlike other raising stats game, you guys added events every weeks, made it very enjoyable to play through instead of trying hard to reach the requirement. Those missions and alchemy items are indeed interesting ideas as well. :3 Both the art and the writing are really... elegant. They bring up the vibe that made me comfortable just by looking and reading. So far, this game meets up to the expectations that I have been seeking in this genre. OvOb

P.S. This demo is great but I would like to know more how the romance works, or maybe a little bit of its writing when we play someone's route. :')

OMG I love this game soooo much!!! Just from replaying the Demo over and over and over and over and over and... well you get the point! I can't wait till the game is finish and throw my money at you! ( In a really good and non offensive way )

PS. I manage to get the 2nd and 3rd to help me but can I get the 1st to help ?? If yes then how? That was the only thing I couldn't figured out.

I loved the demo; I devoured it in a matter of hours. It was absolutely glorious, especially the ending scene - that of the battle. I also loved the gameplay: its unique qualities made it very refreshing to play.
So, thank you for your effort and dedication in the creation of this beautiful and entertaining game <3 I will look forward for the complete game!

I absolutely love this game!

It's so beautiful and interesting!

I can't wait until the next update! I hope it's soon! Take your time, though!

i downloaded this game the other day and it's been fun~ the description intrigued me bc it reminded me a bit of another game, long live the queen, w/ the whole raise stats while trying not to die in royal court. i hope comparing them doesnt sound like a slight against you guys, i meant it more that it's a fun concept so i'm happy to see a different story w/ a similar feel but still it's own thing. the story's very interesting and so far i'm enjoying the cast introduced. i like all the things you gotta keep track of.  i was able to not die and pass the demo, though i made sure to save every week and reloaded a few times ^^;

i skimmed through the latest dev updates, and i'm happy some changes are being made like crafting specifically wont take a whole week. the grimoire also sounds useful. are the approval rates for the 5 factions also going to be in the grimoire, or will that be like a hidden stat thing?

i suppose i have one other question, is there any info on the potential extra love interest? would it be a current side chara or a new chara? would they wear glasses? it's an important character trait lol i understand you guys are still accepting paypal donations so i'm curious
