The Alchemist

I've been to dozens of people like you - alchemists, apothecaries, mages - and you're all the same. You claim to know things, but when something really happens, you're just as useless as the rest of us! You're all charlatans! Charlatans!

These words are how you get sent on one of the most important (and most difficult) missions of your life. Your life is relatively uneventful until the morning when Mrs. Daruna Argando, a noblewoman known for her immense wealth and influence, enters your shop, seeking help for her dying grandson.

Will you be able to save her suffering grandson from a terrible fate and figure out what really happened to him? After all, regular people don't stay asleep for weeks...

FEATURES

• Play as an alchemist! Manage your shop, help people, and even try to brew a potion in a small mini-game!
• Pick your first and last name, and choose your pronouns.
• Choose your personality and see how it affects some of your character's responses.
• Choose and name your very own familiar.
• Pick one of the four elements and see how it changes your magical reactions in dire situations.
• Help and old dwarven woman and her grandson, who's been asleep for the past few weeks.
• Fight against a monstrous beast!
• Start a romance with a kind priestess or a sarcastic enchanter, or choose to remain single. 
• Drink lots and lots of tea!

The game is going to be episodic in nature, but every episode can be played separately as it tells a different story. There will be a bigger story that'll connect all the episodes and have its culmination in the last episode, but that'll come in an unspecified future. The first episode is about 50k words long and features more or less 25 choices, excluding character creation. 

If you find the story enjoyable, please consider leaving a star rating! :)
