At first i really liked the game but the fact that the mc cant even take revenge for his sister is... Kinda lame i stopped playing after Lucius was gone. I would never forgive someone if they did something to my family soooo nope i will not solve this peacefully. Hope you can make a route where we can take revenge.
I really love the game after purchasing it on another platform. Good storylines, deep character and world building. The design is also nice to see and I personally really like the mechanics that are used.
The only thing that bothers me is that the game forces you to look for a peaceful ending. Without wanting to give too many spoilers, there is a person in the story who more than deserves the MC's rage, but every attempt to get your revenge ends in a bad ending, and usually one that is bad for the MC and not just the rest of the World.
Apart from that, the game is great and deserves a purchase recommendation from me.
Thank you so much for playing and letting us know your thoughts!
The thing with the ending was mentioned by a few of our players, so we'll think about this aspect for our future projects uwu)9 For this project, our (sappy) team members wanted to work towards a peaceful ending.
And your English is perfectly fine! We're glad you enjoyed the game.
I am stoked it finally released by my exclusive content is no longer showing a download for, I no longer have access to the wallpapers or mini-guide. Please help!
Hello! If you have pre-ordered the game, the exclusive content should have been sent to the email address bound to your Itchio account during release during the end of March / the beginning of April.
If you have not received it, please send us an email to customer.niftyvisuals(at)gmail.com either using the email that you purchased the game with / the one bound to your itchio account, or the receipt of purchase so we can locate you. Thank you so much!
Hello, we just tried the downloads and they're working as they should. It might be a local connection problem so we'd suggest you try again later. Thank you!
We certainly are working on more games, although at the moment there are no plans to extend Royal Alchemist/Royal Order's universe yet. We will definitely post public announcements to keep you guys up to date though!
I can't believe I missed the release of this one. I loved the demo when I played it ages ago, even though stat raisers are my least favourite style of visual novel. I'm glad I didn't let that dissuade me though. This is amazing. The setting, the romance options, the supporting characters and the MC themselves are all absolutely top notch. I legitimately cried in two places in the story, once relating to the romance and once relating to the MC backstory and for a VN to have such a well rounded and fleshed out story that gives me that sort of feelings is a rarity. Well done.
Hello! Just had a question - I'm on week 59 of Emrys route and even with 410.5 points in wood I am getting the pop up that I am failing the wood check. I had a look at the guide but couldn't spot anything else. Is there something else I need to not fail this check?
Came here from Royal Alchemist and Order has been a blast so far. Foolishly started a session thinking 'I'll just do an hour or so and then go to bed.." but the characters and world just sucked me in and now the sun is rising. THANKYOU!!!
I was wondering - the OST is absolute banger - a couple soundtracks that definitely made me tear-up - are they available for purchase anywhere? Would very much love to loop some of those soundtracks!
Thankyou again for bringing this world to life - an amazing labour of love that is reflected in every facet of the game!!!
Speaking of 'world' - seeing Neri and Beringer again made me so ridiculously happy!
Thank you so much!!! Glad you enjoy the game so far :D
Royal Order actually comes with an in-game Music Room that fully unlocks once you've reached one of the good endings! You can find all tracks with their name and composer there~
Thanks for letting me know! I was wandering if the artist Frequentlyaskedmusic has a Soundcloud, or some sort of social media etc.? I've had a look around but not much luck, and I absolutely love their works!
On a side note - please do consider releasing the OSTs as DLC or something like that if possible (and I completely understand if not!) - I would buy it in a heartbeat!
Thank you so much! We actually haven't released one because we don't have the redistribution rights for the OSTs. Maybe one day! We for sure would love to be able to release an OST for our games.
And the composer actually only has an Instagram although it's not very updated. (We vaguely remember there was a Soundcloud in the past but it's no longer linked.) Their website is linked though~
And that makes complete sense. Regardless, for another truly immersive, truly banger game - THANK YOU! Your world building and characters draw me in like nothing else - Royal Alchemist and Royal Order are some of the few games that have me giggling at my PC well into dawn :)
T-T I love your games. Bought dlc to WxW and bought Royal Alchemist on steam. Going to buy this game on steam whenever I get spending money. Can't wait for a new game already. i am so excitedd! :>
If you're reading the comments to get an idea about if this game's worth your money AND your time:
It absolutely is, words can't do it justice, characters are great and feel alive, the story hooks you in from the get-go, lots of replayability. And don't get me started on how sweet are the romance options (Iris my beloved =~=)
Easily one of THE BEST VNs I've ever had the honor of playing.
It's a great game ! I was a little scared by the price but having already played Royal Alchemist I thought I could trust a game from Nifty Visuals and YES it's good !!!
I obviously started withe Emrys he was always my favorite in the demo, I could'nt let him be my last and damn his story is amazing. I wanted to tease him and cuddle him all the time. I may have wanted to see more Lucius closeness maybe but I guess it would have been difficult to implent in the story.
SPOILER NOT READ
I did not like that the good ending went with the peace plan but I actually think the bad ending is not bad. It's almost a good ending with the MC choosing revenge. But it was a little anticlimatic to read how well our MC could restrain his rage/anger/grief in the peace plan. And damn I would have love to kill Harald instead of him disappearing !
On another note I was a little surprise to not see an actual chibi fox art somewhere. It would have gone really well with Emrys route.
To end on a maybe bug ? I played on story mode and I couldn't get the wood pass on the Toa island (I even went to 320.5 but nothing. I would have love to know what it would have said about Lucius maybe being still with us ? In a way at least.). If someone knows the number or knows what happend when you pass the challend I'd love to hear about it !
I'll probably edit this review after playing Darryl's route.
Thanks for this game it was really nice to play !
Edit : Oh my I forgot to ask for a Khaing's route ! I wanted to cuddle him all along. He is so loyal and cute. Nils and Neri are great too. The 3 of them really deserve their own routes. I would love to learn more about them if you have informations somewere ! ~
Hi, I want to say that I love this game. The lore and the plot is really interesting and make you want to delve more. But, I was wondering whether there would be an update for the shadow sprite? Like Neri's parents or the lords and ladies in Iris route
Hello and thank you, we're glad you enjoy the game!
In response to your inquiry, at this time, we do not have definite plans to include additional art assets. While we would certainly love to, it's outside of our budget. However, this is something we will reconsider in the future, especially depending on how our sales perform and if we are able to secure additional funding through channels such as Patreon!
Hello! i rarely write comments, but after finishing Royal Order i just CAN'T hold it in - thank you so much for this game! I can tell it's made with love and care! To me, it's even better than Royal Alchemist! The plot and storytelling blew me away, they are so engaging i couldn't stop reading until i was done, i didn't even sleep! lmao I really, really love how deep and interesting the story is, it has so many details, all that lore.. It's very rare i feel this way about vn's nowadays, when i feel so engrossed in the story, that i don't even care about romance that much! It felt like reading a book, nothing was rushed. Some ppl say they feel like there was too much text in the middle that was just about everyday life, but i'm sure it was all necessary, it enriches the plot and helps us dive into it. I love the way MC is written too, i only just realized that never felt like mc has specific gender, i mean it feels neutral and you have no trouble at all envisioning female or male MC. It's really hard to make me cry when i'm reading or watching smth, i'm not too sentimental, but i swear i cried quite hard towards the end of the game! Also, i saved Emrys route for the last and dang was it worth it! ohoho it feels like True route, Emrys is just PERFECT i can't get enough of him! I just want to continue reading about their romance endlessly! i will never get enough of him i swear T_T Oh right! i also LOVED music very much! it was so fitting, i'll be honest, most of the time i dont pay attention to music in games, but in this one i spent a lot of time just listening to the background music, it's so beautiful.. Thank you so much for all these emotions you gave me! I play a lot of bl vn's and i think this is one of the best ever!
Hey, everyone! I'm having trouble obtaining a few CGs for Darryl and Iris. For Iris, I'm missing the CG between her tea beaker and kissing events. For Darryl, I'm missing his last CG. Any tips for options I may've missed?
Hello! If you pre-ordered the game on Itchio, you should have received the mini-guide on the email that is attached to your Itchio account around a week ago. (It might have landed in your spam folder though.)
If you haven't received it, please send an email to customer.niftyvisuals(at)gmail.com from that email address and we will get back to you!
As for the art book, it is not released yet, but if you have pre-ordered it, you will get a key for it over email once it is as well :D

Hi. I'm a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, and I'm interested in translating your game. Hit me up please.
At first i really liked the game but the fact that the mc cant even take revenge for his sister is... Kinda lame i stopped playing after Lucius was gone. I would never forgive someone if they did something to my family soooo nope i will not solve this peacefully. Hope you can make a route where we can take revenge.
played for 4 hours straight only to get emrys bad end first try, going through unimaginable pain.
Good to see that Neri Nation is still going strong.
I try it several times and every time I am delighted with the game.
I really want to see additional routs, especially Neri and Nils.
I will hope that they will appear.

I really want to get some wallpapers for this game. What is the best way to get my hands on them?
Every month, we release wallpapers on our Patreon and share public previews there too.
We might release a collection of our top wallpapers on Itchio in the future and will update you all if we do. Thanks so much for your interest!
I remember playing the game and randomly see this again on itchio
I am stoked it finally released by my exclusive content is no longer showing a download for, I no longer have access to the wallpapers or mini-guide. Please help!

I'm trying to download on Android, but the download keeps canceling and saying "Forbidden". Is this intentional?
Hello, we just tried the downloads and they're working as they should. It might be a local connection problem so we'd suggest you try again later. Thank you!
How long does it take to complete this game on average?
Roughly 10 - 12 hours depending on your reading speed :D
is there a guide or walkthrough?
i love this game. a masterpiece. i was wondering if you guys are/were thinking of doing another game ?
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed :D
We certainly are working on more games, although at the moment there are no plans to extend Royal Alchemist/Royal Order's universe yet. We will definitely post public announcements to keep you guys up to date though!
Just got the posters, they are beautiful ❤❤❤
Glad to hear you received them!

the demo download doesnt work?
Hello! Just had a question - I'm on week 59 of Emrys route and even with 410.5 points in wood I am getting the pop up that I am failing the wood check. I had a look at the guide but couldn't spot anything else. Is there something else I need to not fail this check?
Thanks very much!
Hello! Depending on your difficulty, it can be 400, 500 or 600 accordingly. Although it's a very optional check.
That makes a lot of sense - thankyou!

i am on my hands an knees HOW MUCH FIRE DO I NEED FOR ODDIE TO STOP FRYING MEEEE ;-;
Roughly 70 or 80 depending on your mode :'D
We highly recommend to narrow your affinities down to the two types required for your route~ It makes the MC's life quite a bit easier.
Ah. Glad to see this vampire hunt finally came to an end.
(...or did it?)
I do hope we get to see more of this universe.
Good luck, Nifty.
Thank you!
Hello.
I like the game so much. I'm replaying it again.
When I start playing, I go out to Emrys's ruth every time. I love Emrys so much. My favorite favorite.
But when I play, I lick my lips at Neri and Nils. So I want them to be added to the game.
I would like to ask: Will Neri and Nils be added to the game?
And if the roots are added, will there be additional CG art for Emrys, Daryl and Iris?
Hello, and thank you. Glad you like the game!
Currently, we don't have specific plans for these additions due to budget limitations.
However, we're conducting polls with our Patreon supporters to determine which types of additional content they would like to sponsor~
I really want to support you, but unfortunately I can't subscribe to Patreon.
I hope the supporters will vote for additional routs and arts in the Royal Order. I really want additional routs (Neri and Nils) and CG art to appear.
I am waiting for your next project. I would like to ask, can I hope that you will show it to us soon?
T-T I love your games. Bought dlc to WxW and bought Royal Alchemist on steam. Going to buy this game on steam whenever I get spending money. Can't wait for a new game already. i am so excitedd! :>
Thank you so much!!!
Back from 100%ing this gem.
Man... So, SO good.

SPOILERS:
Don't tell the captain to get rid of the alchemist, don't choose to take revenge (when you find out what happened to a certain someone)
Otherwise you autopick the "let's kill the senior alchemist and the Duke", leading you to that ending.
So...
Sorry, you'll have to start all over again, I feel your pain, did that like 5 times T_T
It's a great game ! I was a little scared by the price but having already played Royal Alchemist I thought I could trust a game from Nifty Visuals and YES it's good !!!

Hello! I love this game, the art is gorgeous, the story and characters are incredible, thank you for your amazing work!
I have a question, will we ever have the chance to have Nils and/or Neri as LI, either in a DLC or in a future game? I love them both!

Hey, everyone! I'm having trouble obtaining a few CGs for Darryl and Iris. For Iris, I'm missing the CG between her tea beaker and kissing events. For Darryl, I'm missing his last CG. Any tips for options I may've missed?
These are their Bad Ending CGs! :D
Any hints on how to obtain those endings? I've discovered so many death ends when trying to obtain those bad ends, but not the bad ends themselves. xD
Hello! I pre-ordered the game, and have access to the Steam key, but don't know where to find the artbook and the mini-guide that comes with it.
Hello! If you pre-ordered the game on Itchio, you should have received the mini-guide on the email that is attached to your Itchio account around a week ago. (It might have landed in your spam folder though.)
If you haven't received it, please send an email to customer.niftyvisuals(at)gmail.com from that email address and we will get back to you!
As for the art book, it is not released yet, but if you have pre-ordered it, you will get a key for it over email once it is as well :D
Love this game.
I recommend you should buy this game on steam because they localize the prize of the game depend on regions.
Thanks for making the game affordable.
I can't wait for yours next project.
Thank you so much! We will continue trying our best!
