Emrys route should be the last one to play. Because of the mini-route guide, I made the mistake of playing his route first. He is, oh my, idk how to say for me, he is the obvious and the most make sense. I feel like the backstory of this game was created in their minds. They are literally soulmates. He is so perfect; their banter and their dynamic are deliciously sweet. I try to play another route, but I can't do it. I feel like I betrayed him somehow, and whenever he appears on another route, I feel longing to get back to his arm. I need a few days to detach myself for him to be able to pursue another LI.
Overall, I love it because this game is easier to play compared to your previous game. Honestly, I'm not really a big fan of stat-raising games and bad/dead endings, but because I like the graphics and the story, I'm willing to give it a try, so thanks a lot for the story mode and a bit of your mini-ending guide; it helps.
It's illegal how adorable Nils is. I know he's not a romantic interest like Emrys or Iris, but it's so refreshing how kind and gentle he is. His "battle" side is cool, too. He even does his own cooking! For a cat, no less! If Aarya was romancing the Seniors (not the Senior Alchemist, obviously) instead of the royal heirs, then I would 100% do his route. :)
Mate, people who are smiley in the first meeting then see them being all serious when comes to serious moment is quite intimadating for me XD. Same goes to Nil and Ven.
So true! I also like to view it as good character portrayal. If a powerful character can successfully intimidate me (while looking absolutely beautiful), then they've been written very well. XD
I've been playing this game non stop since it dropped, and I absolutely had a wonderful time with not only the love interests, but with the political intrigue and mystery of this game! Truly a great sequel to Royal Alchemist, yet still maintains its own distinct type of drama.
I took the mini guide's advice for recommended route order, and it definitely was a great way to discover and piece together the smaller lore behind the context of the war and all the characters (anyone who experienced Emrys' route last lmk if you think otherwise T-T I'm very curious!)
I was a bit disappointed by the lack of missions but I was very happy to read that the team is still working on implementing those features! I was a big fan of navigating all the missions and stat checks in the first game (the fruit wine.....)
I do want to report a bug! I've been collecting the bad ends and the Suspicion checks in Week 41 and 47 will not trigger even with 20+ Suspicion on Challenging mode.
i went into this expecting emrys's romantic ending to be my favorite romantic route (which i would still say it was from a personal perspective), but iris's romantic ending blew me away! there's just something about the chemistry between mc and iris that clicked so beautifully in a way i didn't expect, and i really loved the storyline!
SPOILERS BELOW
i think the only gripe i have is that emrys's true identity doesn't technically come out in the storylines that aren't his which makes me feel so bad that the mc is all alone :( although it does add to the mystery if you don't play emrys's route first, wonder if there could be a cool little thing where if the game recognizes you've already achieved one of his endings (romantic, friendship, or bad), the truth could come out somehow? i was hoping it would come out in iris's story outside the infirmary if i stayed with emrys but idt it did :(
Very similar thoughts here, Emrys' route was fantastic but Iris' was surprisingly just as amazing. The little things that start to make sense when you put all three storylines together are just *chef's kiss*. And I liked playing them in the recommended order (Em, then Darryl, then Iris).
Response that includes SPOILERS below
I KNOOOOOWWWWW. I was playing Darryl's route and every so often Em would pop in with a subtle reference, my heart! Imagining that MC would just go on never knowing about hi, I can't handle it. *Sobs* In my initial Em playthrough, I couldn't help but wonder if they would try to combine both of them back together somehow. What a great story, ugh, this whole thing is so beautifully-done.
I downloaded the game and just started playing, but so far almost every character is this weird semi-transparent silhoutte. Is this a bug? Are the illustrations not loading? I remember playing the demo and looking forward to seeing all the character art in the finished game. :c
I'm working on getting Iris' bad ending now, but I'm stuck on Darryl's as well. You said that you already got the other bad ends. If you don't mind, how did you get Darryl's?
Can it really be true that 75 is not high enough for the darkness check in week 30 of Emrys' route, on story difficulty? I literally had to go and unlock 8 deaths to get the stat that high, and I still fail the check.
Okay, 95 did it, but that really seems too high, since that required a death bonus of 16 + loading back 3 weeks to focus on just levelling darkness. The tests before that has been 40 at the highest, I think.
I didn't download it until after the update was out, and used the download link provided after buying the game. I also started a new game, instead of using my old demo saves. And the files say 1.1
I'm playing in adventure mode, Emrys route and at week 27 there is a suspicion check and it fails. Does anyone know how to avoid it? Do I need a particular stat to be higher?!
That suspicion check actually checks your suspicion stat (visible under the character's name in the Grimoire). Your suspicion has to be under a certain value (15 for adventure mode, I believe) to pass it.
The suspicion stat is something you raise sometimes with certain choices if it doesn't fit your public behaviour when someone in the High Council is present. (For example, choosing a bloodthirsty answer while your character is overly considerate and charismatic).
That said, the suspicion check in that week doesn't need to be passed. It will decrease your faction approvals a bit, but you can easily get those back with tea parties or later checks.
I've just completed the Emrys route. And I can say that he is my favorite. I really wanted there to be more romance between Emrys and MC.
And I would like to have a lot of CG art. Is it strange to ask if there will be additional CG, like a patch, to add to the game?
I won't spoiler, but I guessed about Lucius, it was nice to confirm the theory, and it's good that it was resolved immediately, and not delayed, and I won't say anything more.
Now I'm looking forward to adding additional routs to the Royal Order, like Neri and Nils. Yes, yes, I'm still waiting for Neri and Nils.
I will add my review later, but I will leave it like this.
Hello and thank you so much for your kind words! And for excellently guessing about Lucius
For now, we are not sure about additional CG patches. The team is still busy with some additional content for the game (mini missions, faction missions; which are both kind of like optional little side stories with the LIs and the faction leaders). But after that, we will reorganise and review the requests we've gotten and see where to go from there.
I hope you will add additional CG art at least 3-4 pieces per LI. I wish only Aarya and LI were there. And then I noticed that there were few of them on CG, mostly only LI.
Since I've been through Emrys's routine so far, he was there alone a lot, but I would like Emrys to be with Aarya on CG.
Therefore, I really hope that additional art will appear. I hope you will add it.
I can't remember the last time I enjoyed playing an English vn this much!
Emrys is just wonderful and his route is so touching. There were so many great romantic moments that left me squealing and the good ending really felt like a complete story that left me teary-eyed at its conclusion. I kept hoping that it would never end, but when it did, it was just so fulfilling that I can't even wish for more.
I also liked the bad ending although I would have liked it even more if it were longer since I love angst. I did think that I got tricked a little by the suggested route order in the mini-guide because after playing through the romance ending with Emrys, I feel a strong aversion towards pairing Aarya up with anyone else. Like I progressed some of Darryl's route but I was honestly physically pained whenever Emrys showed up; I actually felt so bad that I had to stop playing 😭
Perhaps I'll be able to finish the game at a later time by doing friendship routes or using MC with a different gender and name for Darryl and Iris.
Aarya is an amazing, complex protagonist, and I loved that there are subtle differences in text depending on their personality. I also really appreciate the plot especially in how you built upon and expanded the setting from the first game while introducing the ethical dilemmas and nuance that come with having a protagonist who is the "other." It's a refreshing perspective! I do wish that there was a bit more character building for Aarya (like one flashback sequence with their adoptive parents) so that we can gain a bit more insight into how they came to care for humans, but that might just be me being greedy because I love them so much.
Do you plan on producing any merch for the characters for those who missed kickstarter acrylics like me by any chance?
Anyway, thank you for creating such a beautiful game! You've created a loyal fan out of me~ I hope to see another game in the series (perhaps one with a protagonist who uses deviant magic and/or a game where we can finally romance Neri?!). Now I'm off to play Emry's route again with the newly patched version 💕
Thank you so much for playing and your kind words!!! We are really happy you enjoyed his route!
As for your question, yes, we will put another batch of the Kickstarter physical rewards on sale at a later date. (The team is currently still a bit busy with some elements of the release itself.)
In our narratives, we actually don't use the concept of 'canon LIs'. Each romantic interest is crafted to complement specific aspects of our lore and world. It's ultimately up to our players to decide which romantic path they prefer.
Not sure if this has been reported yet, but the images that sequence through during lectures do not move no matter which element is being trained. For example, performing a Darkness lecture shows Aarya in the middle of a bunch of green circles. That image will remain even if I follow up with lectures for Fire and Light.
I finally finished Emrys' route and I cried happy tears.
I mean, I achieved the bad ending a few times during the 1.0 version of the game (I could never choose not to kill...well, one of the big bads, or die lol; I think that was a bug, but idk). Now I can get a good ending and it was so lovely!!! The way this connects Royal Alchemist and Royal Order is superb and those questions left unanswered are getting answered.
just finished emrys' route and i made a mistake on picking him first :') i need a few days to detach myself from him cause id feel too guilty seeing him in the other love interests' routes hh ill just pretend aarya is part of a triplet and that the other two romance iris and darryl head in hands
Guys, I'm dumb and help me. As I was playing Emrys' route. I always get the 50 week ending.
I already touch the "I dont know option" but my question is, what is the main trigger for the 50 week bad end? Because when i replay the game again to get the alliance for Darryl and Iris affection to 20. I get the 50 week end again and again :,D. Please tell what's the trigger when you choose the right option but get the bad end.
To reach Emrys's good endings, do not choose the Revenge option in Week 16, do not get rid of the Alchemist in Week 30, do not choose the War option in Week 48, do not run away in Week 53, and never kill anyone during your heists.
I've noticed Illyria's name comes up as ??? when she shows up again in week 14 and continues as ??? every time we see her afterwards. I'm not entirely sure if its a bug or not, just so you know of it.
Same here, still waiting to see if there's any delays. I managed to get the Wallpaper Pack, before the final game was uploaded but it's gone now for some reason.

Hello, we have to update the description here, but there are 10 endings in total! 3 for each love interest (Romance, Friendship, Bad End) plus a generic one.
Hello! I'm playing Emyrs' route and I'm stuck at week 50. Is this because of the choices I made? I have points for every magic type, lowest is fire with 18 pts. 1've replayed it twice now.
UPDATE:
I did it! Week 48 is the important check. Emrys should ask you "What is it that you want to do?" instead of being blinded by rage.
Here are the choices I made: Week 16: "Find a peaceful end to this conflict." Week 27: "Ask about a diplomatic solution." Week 30: "Wait." (Don't get rid of the alchemist)
After playing Emrys' route 10 times, I've marked every choice. Hope this helps!
exactly same issue, i've posted about this on the steam forums.
I just completed a new playthrough picking alchemists while going down Emrys' route again. Picked easy this time since I wanted to test out the no stealing route. I had a few new scenes with Illyria due to the Alchemy branch but still received the same bad ending.
I again maxed out war effort and Emyrs' romance, kept my wood and darkness at or above 200, made all the factions have over 50 approval, and like previous play throughs I was at 0 suspicion.
I'm genuinely at a stump as to what I need to do.
edit: I've also made several different choices in the story, such as the peace or fight option when asking about certain blonde sibling.
Choose "I dont know" choice to skip that part when Emrys and Aarya are having a talk about the Sval :D. Although, there still more ending after that so keep your guard up and make sure friends a lot of alliances for back up.
I did an entire playthrough and chose that option still got the bad ending. Is there another requirement I'm missing? I have a stat in each element. My primary personality scores are straightfoward and manipulative.
Same I also have straightforward and manipulative as my highest personality. I'm thinking of doing a play through and making considerate higher than manipulative if it will make a difference.
In order to get the good ending, I choose the easy route, had all three love interests war effort at 150, Emrys affection maxed, darkness and wood at 200. I also had zero suspicion and selected to work with the Alchemist's which gave me access to more information. The Garrison, the Mages, and the Alchemists all had approval above 100 as well. Like said in another comment I choose 'i don't know' when Emrys and you speak about the Sval.
Then after discovering the secret library I choose 'take the evidence and hope to use it to leverage for peace'. I hope this makes sense and helps !! I was stuck for a while but this is what helped me actually get the romantic ending lol
Quick question, is it possible to pass the fire, water, and light check if you chose to steal the magic vials from the boat during Emrys' route?? I've been stuck on it and I can't manage to get my stats for those above 80 while safely passing the other checks earlier in the game.. I'm a bit confused as to how Im supposed to get past that without sacrifing my own magic. It seems a bit too difficult, even on story mode.
Hello, you should be able to pass that check with Darkness. The magic combinations are Wood & Darkness for Emrys, Fire and Light for Darryl, and Water and Wind for Iris.
Hello, you should have received the keys in your DMs before. If Kickstarter somehow doesn't show them, please send us a DM and we will get back to you with them. Thank you!
OMG I WAS LITERALLY JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS VISUAL NOVEL AND I LOOKED AT YOUR PAGE JUST CAUSE AND I FIND OUT IT RELEASED?? 5 HOURS AGO??? OMG I CANT WAIT TO PLAY THIS (when i have the money)
ok so far this game is awesom just like the last one i started playing hours ago its almost 4 in the morning and im still on it but I have one question about the non love interest characters... WHY HOT IF NOT DATEABLE? my heart isnt ready to see so many fine characters without beeing able to romance them
Some deaths are only skip-able if you are on story mode. If you are stuck, we recommend focusing on learning only two magic stats depending on which route you are pursuing (Wood and Darkness for Emrys, Fire and Light for Darryl, Water and Wind for Iris).
Hello! The mini guide has been sent out to the email connected to your Itchio account.
Although from our experience, it may take a little bit until Itchio delivers all mails. Please also check your spam folder just in case. If you still don't get it within the next hour, please send us an email to customer.niftyvisuals(at)gmail.com. Thank you!
Well I'm going to eat while I wait for the download so I dont accidentally forget to eat for 4 days like last time with Royal Alchemist. (I'm not joking.) This was pleasant. Have fun. <3

Emrys route should be the last one to play. Because of the mini-route guide, I made the mistake of playing his route first. He is, oh my, idk how to say for me, he is the obvious and the most make sense. I feel like the backstory of this game was created in their minds. They are literally soulmates. He is so perfect; their banter and their dynamic are deliciously sweet. I try to play another route, but I can't do it. I feel like I betrayed him somehow, and whenever he appears on another route, I feel longing to get back to his arm. I need a few days to detach myself for him to be able to pursue another LI.
Overall, I love it because this game is easier to play compared to your previous game. Honestly, I'm not really a big fan of stat-raising games and bad/dead endings, but because I like the graphics and the story, I'm willing to give it a try, so thanks a lot for the story mode and a bit of your mini-ending guide; it helps.
I’m not even done with Emrys’s route but my god… I am in pain right now from what is happening in the story. Devs why did you do this to me… 😭😭
The Game is so good ;3; I have gotten done Emrys's route and am about to start the other two and I am excited to see them all.
It's illegal how adorable Nils is. I know he's not a romantic interest like Emrys or Iris, but it's so refreshing how kind and gentle he is. His "battle" side is cool, too. He even does his own cooking! For a cat, no less! If Aarya was romancing the Seniors (not the Senior Alchemist, obviously) instead of the royal heirs, then I would 100% do his route. :)
Mate, people who are smiley in the first meeting then see them being all serious when comes to serious moment is quite intimadating for me XD. Same goes to Nil and Ven.
So true! I also like to view it as good character portrayal. If a powerful character can successfully intimidate me (while looking absolutely beautiful), then they've been written very well. XD
I've been playing this game non stop since it dropped, and I absolutely had a wonderful time with not only the love interests, but with the political intrigue and mystery of this game! Truly a great sequel to Royal Alchemist, yet still maintains its own distinct type of drama.

I was a bit disappointed by the lack of missions but I was very happy to read that the team is still working on implementing those features! I was a big fan of navigating all the missions and stat checks in the first game (the fruit wine.....)
I do want to report a bug! I've been collecting the bad ends and the Suspicion checks in Week 41 and 47 will not trigger even with 20+ Suspicion on Challenging mode.
Thank you so much for a very fun week!

can someone help me get iris bad ending, got her good ending in one try and i already got the other bad endings
I'm working on getting Iris' bad ending now, but I'm stuck on Darryl's as well. You said that you already got the other bad ends. If you don't mind, how did you get Darryl's?
pretty sure you gotta get in a relationship with him when he takes you out
Thanks for the suggestion! However, choosing to court Darryl seems to lead to a death end where Aarya's core is stolen.
Can it really be true that 75 is not high enough for the darkness check in week 30 of Emrys' route, on story difficulty? I literally had to go and unlock 8 deaths to get the stat that high, and I still fail the check.
80 is not enough either. It really feels like a bug.
Okay, 95 did it, but that really seems too high, since that required a death bonus of 16 + loading back 3 weeks to focus on just levelling darkness. The tests before that has been 40 at the highest, I think.
Hello, if you are on story difficulty and still have a death check for that high, you're most likely still playing on 1.0.
We've adjusted the difficulty in our latest patch. It's recommended to switch to that one!
I didn't download it until after the update was out, and used the download link provided after buying the game. I also started a new game, instead of using my old demo saves. And the files say 1.1
Alright, that shouldn't be the case then. We'll investigate it as a bug. Thank you for the report!

That said, the suspicion check in that week doesn't need to be passed. It will decrease your faction approvals a bit, but you can easily get those back with tea parties or later checks.
Thank you! Is it possible there is some kind of bug? My suspicion level in the Grimoire is literally 0
You're right, it is a bug on Challenge Mode. We'll fix that in the next patch. Thanks!
Thanks to you!!!
I've just completed the Emrys route. And I can say that he is my favorite. I really wanted there to be more romance between Emrys and MC.

honestly this was so worth the year of waiting
The saga of the Aarya triplet has begun~ :'D Thank you so much! We're super glad you enjoyed his route!
Help to get the good end for Emrys :,D.
Guys, I'm dumb and help me. As I was playing Emrys' route. I always get the 50 week ending.
I already touch the "I dont know option" but my question is, what is the main trigger for the 50 week bad end? Because when i replay the game again to get the alliance for Darryl and Iris affection to 20. I get the 50 week end again and again :,D. Please tell what's the trigger when you choose the right option but get the bad end.
Slight spoilers below.
---
To reach Emrys's good endings, do not choose the Revenge option in Week 16, do not get rid of the Alchemist in Week 30, do not choose the War option in Week 48, do not run away in Week 53, and never kill anyone during your heists.
In Android version, when I reach week 16 there is no return button when you open grimoire
Noted, this one will be fixed with an upcoming patch, thanks!
in week 26 of iris's route her sprite becomes massive at a point lol
Noted and fixed. Thanks!
I've noticed Illyria's name comes up as ??? when she shows up again in week 14 and continues as ??? every time we see her afterwards. I'm not entirely sure if its a bug or not, just so you know of it.
It is a bug and will be fixed in the next quick patch. Thank you!

Hi! Just a quick question, how many endings are there? Because itchio page says 8 endings but steam achievements show 10
Hello, we have to update the description here, but there are 10 endings in total! 3 for each love interest (Romance, Friendship, Bad End) plus a generic one.
Hello!I'm playing Emyrs' route and I'm stuck at week 50. Is this because of the choices I made? I have points for every magic type, lowest is fire with 18 pts. 1've replayed it twice now.UPDATE:
I did it! Week 48 is the important check. Emrys should ask you "What is it that you want to do?" instead of being blinded by rage.
Here are the choices I made:
Week 16: "Find a peaceful end to this conflict."
Week 27: "Ask about a diplomatic solution."
Week 30: "Wait." (Don't get rid of the alchemist)
After playing Emrys' route 10 times, I've marked every choice. Hope this helps!
exactly same issue, i've posted about this on the steam forums.
I just completed a new playthrough picking alchemists while going down Emrys' route again. Picked easy this time since I wanted to test out the no stealing route. I had a few new scenes with Illyria due to the Alchemy branch but still received the same bad ending.
I again maxed out war effort and Emyrs' romance, kept my wood and darkness at or above 200, made all the factions have over 50 approval, and like previous play throughs I was at 0 suspicion.
I'm genuinely at a stump as to what I need to do.
edit: I've also made several different choices in the story, such as the peace or fight option when asking about certain blonde sibling.
Spoiler
Choose "I dont know" choice to skip that part when Emrys and Aarya are having a talk about the Sval :D. Although, there still more ending after that so keep your guard up and make sure friends a lot of alliances for back up.
I did an entire playthrough and chose that option still got the bad ending. Is there another requirement I'm missing? I have a stat in each element. My primary personality scores are straightfoward and manipulative.
Same I also have straightforward and manipulative as my highest personality. I'm thinking of doing a play through and making considerate higher than manipulative if it will make a difference.
Nah, I have considerate higher than manipulative and I have the same issue

In order to get the good ending, I choose the easy route, had all three love interests war effort at 150, Emrys affection maxed, darkness and wood at 200. I also had zero suspicion and selected to work with the Alchemist's which gave me access to more information. The Garrison, the Mages, and the Alchemists all had approval above 100 as well. Like said in another comment I choose 'i don't know' when Emrys and you speak about the Sval.
Then after discovering the secret library I choose 'take the evidence and hope to use it to leverage for peace'. I hope this makes sense and helps !! I was stuck for a while but this is what helped me actually get the romantic ending lol
Thanks! I'll try this, I'm getting crazy lol already played 4 times already.
bah time to make a new play through :')
hey can you also tell us what stats you have :( I picked the i dont know option and im still geting the bad ending
Quick question, is it possible to pass the fire, water, and light check if you chose to steal the magic vials from the boat during Emrys' route?? I've been stuck on it and I can't manage to get my stats for those above 80 while safely passing the other checks earlier in the game.. I'm a bit confused as to how Im supposed to get past that without sacrifing my own magic. It seems a bit too difficult, even on story mode.
Hello, you should be able to pass that check with Darkness. The magic combinations are Wood & Darkness for Emrys, Fire and Light for Darryl, and Water and Wind for Iris.
Hi there! I supported on Kickstarter and I don't see a place for my steam key - is there anything I have to do?
Hello, you should have received the keys in your DMs before. If Kickstarter somehow doesn't show them, please send us a DM and we will get back to you with them. Thank you!
Just wanted to reply here to say, thank you for resolving this so quickly!!
OMG I WAS LITERALLY JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS VISUAL NOVEL AND I LOOKED AT YOUR PAGE JUST CAUSE AND I FIND OUT IT RELEASED?? 5 HOURS AGO??? OMG I CANT WAIT TO PLAY THIS (when i have the money)
Hello, I'm having a bug on Android where after I access the stat screen after week 10 I can't exit out.
Thank you for the report! It has been noted and fixed. We will release a patch for that as soon as possible.
ok so far this game is awesom just like the last one i started playing hours ago its almost 4 in the morning and im still on it but I have one question about the non love interest characters... WHY HOT IF NOT DATEABLE? my heart isnt ready to see so many fine characters without beeing able to romance them
is there a way to turn off deaths? ive been stuck at this one part and keep dying and Im pretty sure ive skipped the part where it tells me how.
Some deaths are only skip-able if you are on story mode. If you are stuck, we recommend focusing on learning only two magic stats depending on which route you are pursuing (Wood and Darkness for Emrys, Fire and Light for Darryl, Water and Wind for Iris).
thank you!!

I pre-ordered the game on here and my digital key was on the Download page! Under the download buttons there is a "claim steam key" section!
We don't get enough games like these, sadly.
