so i've pre-ordered the game in 2019 and got it in 2020, but got to it only recently, because of life. i have to say it was the best spent money in my life! i have only completed one ending (i've spent on it 25h in total! with a guide!!! oh, i love this game), but i can't wait to complete other endings. i honestly love mechanics, the nerd inside me sees them and squeals. i also adore writing, i found myself liking all the characters and finding them fairly realistic. the plot twists were foreshadowed in the best way: when plot twist happens i think "oooh, it makes perfect sense, why haven't i thought about it" (tho i predicted some of the lesser plot twists). also, this game has so many of them that i even wrote to my friends "me, the fool, thinking that it was the last plot twist in royal alchemist". the art and music were also great. the art was really pleasing to the eye and i really enjoyed it. i mean, the games i decide to play usually have to be visually pleasing, so the fact i first played the demo, then paid for the pre-order and played the full game, AND that i have the wallpaper from this game on my laptop, means something. going back to the music: i usually play without it, listening to the songs i like, but it was very enjoyable and suitable to mood, so i played fully listening to it, great job. all in all, this is probably one of my favourite visual novels of all time. thank you for reading my word vomit.
