I realy love this game. The story is great and the artstyle and character design ist gorgeus. I had a lot of fun and I will probably come back a few times to replay it.
I loved this game, the art, character design, setting, story are all amazing. Oh, and both main characters really handsome too ;) I also love how you make us think, but also tell us immediately if we made the potion correctly or not, not making us guess. This is great and kind of unique in VNs.
But I would love a guide, official or not, or at least list of the endings. I really enjoyed it, but found 4 endings (1, 4, 5 and 6). I would love to see the rest. Maybe even make the guide paid, I would certainly buy it.
Hi! The game has been wonderful so far, devoured it within a morning. Just one problem I encountered while looking for ending #3: I'm currently preparing draught number 4, and the game misidentifies the Sanguis Flame I select as being Void Bloom. I'm not sure where this comes from, as I've prepared this draught in other playthroughs and not encountered problems. But I've reloaded this particular playthrough and gotten this bug consistently.
A few details if they help: this current playthrough went with antagonistic dialogue, made draughts #1 and #2 successfully, deliberately botched #3 then asked about Jessamine. Made the choice to prepare #4 properly, then got stuck in the alchemy preparation due to the bug above.
Obsessed with the writing, I love the en media res and worldbuilding, and the word choice certainly tickles the brain into learning at times. Gorgeous art (SO stylistic and evocative) and atmospheric music, and again wow at that writing. I loved the personal moment of "Oh! The protagonist is black" when I read the line about his locs, which was a nice touch.
Oh wow, apologies for our delay but thank you so much! This is such a kind comment and we're so, so happy you've enjoyed the game thus far. This made our day!
I'm really enjoying playing this and I love the writing! Unfortunately, I've hit an error:

Thank you so much for taking the time to play and for your kind feedback! We hadn't planned on releasing a walk-through, but we've noticed a few players having a bit of trouble achieving a few endings, so we're definitely looking into it!
This was so good! I played for about three and a half hours and got all but endings 2 and 3 so hopefully I can figure that out soon... Story is incredibly compelling and I have a thousand questions about the universe and can't wait to see what's next!
Hi! I got 3 but not 2 yet. They’re actually working on a simple guide/walkthrough so that will help. I can try to go back and figure out how I got 3 tho. Lemme know :)
The writing is incredible, the art is absolutely delicious, and the tension is palpable! Alkahest draws you in and absolutely refuses to let go, and I truly can't recommend it enough to anyone. The alchemy portions are very clever, and the chemistry (heh... sorry) between the two characters is absolutely electric. I had an incredible time with Alkahest and I'll be eagerly awaiting more from Split Fate!!

Ahhh! Thank you so much!! This means the world to us!
As for the guide; we're currently developing a walkthrough that we're hoping to have released soon!

Hi there! Thank you so much for letting us know! Do you know if your version is the most up-to-date version of the game?
We'll be investigating this issue and try to have a fix ready ASAP!
Yep, I'm up to date, got my download last night! Good luck bug hunting.
Due to your very helpful replication details we were able to pinpoint this bug and swat it right into non-existence!
We just pushed through a bugfix that should allow you to progress, so please feel free to update when you can and thanks again for your patience!

Looking forward to playing more!
Thank you for letting us know! We've updated the files and this error should be fixed!
Thank you so much for playing!!
I had a great time playing this and managed to get all the endings apart from the second one. Are there any plans to release a walk-through?
Thank you for an excellent game!

Hello! I was wondering if you have figured out how to get endings 2 and 3 yet? I'm stuck on those myself
Hi! I got 3 but not 2 yet. They’re actually working on a simple guide/walkthrough so that will help. I can try to go back and figure out how I got 3 tho. Lemme know :)
Ah I wasn't aware that they were working on a guide! I'll wait for that then, thank you so much for the answer!
