HTML - Alchemist Mina [v0.15.2] [narlicious]

First time playing was 0.15.2 demo version on Android.

The game plays really smoothly, has some great content and I think the UI works great for mobile devices (pixel 9a for context).
Tried to play the 0.14.5 version afterwards to get the rest off the content, but I couldn't get over the UI drop. Overall a really fantastic game that needs to keep on being developed. Would love to see some animations as ai can do that for you now too.

Review for 0.14.1

Incredibly hot scenes, fun story, and the brewing isn't as tedious as I was worried it might be! Can't wait to find out more about the armored figure~

I hope we can look forward to having more creatures to harvest from (and to drag Allaya along with us to have fun with)

I started playing this game for the first time at version 14 and found it to be an excellent balance of factors. The gameplay loop requires just enough involvement to feel engaging and rewarding without feeling grindy, the story is coherent while providing plenty of opportunities for lighthearted erotic fun, and the presentation is a good mix of text and images.

I was extremely pleasantly surprised by the variety of scenes already available, and most of all the consistency in characters from the AI-generated art. The MC is cute and *consistent*, even across various scenes with various creatures and animals; I didn't really notice any of the inconsistencies or drift that typically characterizes this sort of game.

Overall, I enjoyed this game quite a bit! I eagerly look forward to subsequent updates.

just plain fun, the gameplay has just enough QOL features that it isnt annoying to grind for cash or for potions, the characters are really fun and hot, and its just a good time. aloeth best girl, but its hard to choose

Update: Meant to do this a while ago. The developer proactively updated the game for the better, adding QoL to the core gameplay loop and more CG for immersion. For a game leaning on AI content, this one has shaped up nicely, and will hopefully continue to do so. It's in a far more playable state than when I first reviewed, and has far more to offer now. A positive response to harsh feedback is always something to be valued and acknowledged.

I like what it's going for, and it's got some neat systems and ideas, but if I have to click "Fill bottle" one more fucking time, I'm going to lose my mind. The most basic, fundamental part of this game is the most clunky. The alchemy. Even when gathering things, you have to manually choose to fill a bottle with key components. It's fine the first 20 times. But after 50, I'm done. I'm out of patience. It's so horribly obnoxious.

There's no option to automatically fill bottles when you have them, and there should be.

Other than that, content is too sparse for a game with AI CG. The renders are pretty good, being well above your average slop. Not the best, but definitely good. There are far too few, though, to warrant not losing a star. AI's biggest strength will always be the sheer amount it can pump out, so not utilizing this is a sin. You don't see your home, you don't see the streets; you don't see much of anything outside of the already lacking sex scenes.

All in all, neat, but just that. Gets quickly annoying to play and doesn't utilize its greatest strength. Free fuckin' AI labor.

rating for v0.10 of the game "Alchemist Mina"

tldr;
It's a good game. Quite simple - what you would expect from a text based game. Also well made.

Porn
It's here, and not hidden or particularly hard to unlock.

Story
The dialogues don't feel forced. It's light hearted. You have a set of people you can talk to and learn who they are. You can also choose to skip to the end of the page if it doesn't gather your interest.

Gaming
You make potions to "help" people - or yourself. For that, you look for ingredients, recipes and talk to people. You know you progress in the game when you unlock more porn scenes with people or monsters. You have shortcuts you can use instead of the mouse.

Graphics
You like it or you don't. Look at the thread to see examples.

About 0.11

The game is awesome, the scenes are so well written that they make you feel totally immersed in them, also, the A.I arts are great but i wish that in the next version the scenes have more arts or gif too, i love the kinks the game work on(beast is my weak)
I recommend you to download the game and run on your device(mobile or pc) to avoid some shotdown and lagging issues in the web version.

Review for 0.11 - Pretty goddamn great.

Art is fun (AI generated, but it's all solid and consistent).

Quite a few kinks but generally tentacle/bestiality/futa orientated as far as I can see, a little bit of oviposition and some cumflation as well as some more vanilla bits in there too. Also all the kinks are pretty clearly marked and you can avoid any scene's art (not the text) if you want to.

Just a lot of fun in general.

My only criticism is I experienced quite a bit of slowdown once I'd been playing for a while but I think that's an engine/browser limitation. Easily solved by save/reloading.

This game uses AI generated images and I'm actually pretty okay with that. Usually games that do are pretty terrible, but I think one uses it pretty well. Ethics of using AI art aside, the quality of these images are pretty nice. The author has a consistent style and only a few minor mistakes here and there, but they're not distracting.

As far as the gameplay goes it's not too bad. You go out to find materials to make potions to sell. Getting these materials can be a little grindy, but it's not offensive. My only complaint is that there really isn't a whole lot of content at the moment (v0.10). Looking forward to see what else will come from this.

Good writing, gameplay loop is ok, if not fun.
The game has an AI art, it is hovewer consistent in style and not as jarring.
All in all so far so good, it just needs more updates and content to be a really solid game.

There's a nice little chunk of lewd content here, long text scenes interspersed with custom images. The game is significantly lacking in any character building or content that's not a lewd scene though - most of the interactions in the game are either "hi I'm fulfilling this quest" or "hi person who lives in the same town as me, lets do an extremely lewd thing together".

The gameplay is a little grindy but almost has its own solution built in - if the levelling system could be changed so that the number of items collected grows a lot with levelling up rather than just a little the grind would be significantly reduced. Other than that the quests and alchemy are good enough for a small game.

Wow, I really was not expecting much from this game. The tags made me decide to pick it up since it had some unique things and I am so glad I did.

Firstly this is one of the best AICG games out there, every CG feels really well they feel specifically crafted and designed to fit the scene perfectly. The unique positions and kinks really make it stand out and really drives my desire to keep playing, just to see the next scene.

I think the gameplay is pretty good too! I like that the game knows its a hentai game, the goal is to get more recipes, to get more sex scenes, to get material you have sex scenes, ect ect. It knows what it is, and what people want and it doesn't pretend otherwise.

Early on the grinding felt a tiny bit tedious but once i got over that hump it felt really great. I think as this game gets beefier with content it'll also lessen that burden.


Really enjoy every character as well and I hope to see more of all of them!

The game is in early days yet, but the writing is quite good. While I am not a big fan of AI art at all, it seems to have been curated well enough here. Hopefully with a few more updates, we should be able to see this turn into something really great.

This is GOOD use of AI art.

The gameplay is pretty engaging and the hotkeys make getting around pretty easy. The art is very cute and the AI generation is quite natural.

The dialogue and text are great and you can easily choose to skim the back-and-forth or to read the full descriptions.

If anything, I just wish there was more. More scenes, more images per scene, etc.

The game is pretty grindy, not hard but a little time consuming. However, you can get harvesting assistance as of the current content so going forward it should not be as bad. v0.9

The mix of art and text is very well done imo, the main turn off is that a lot of the sex is currently focused on bestiality/monster/plants, as you gather ingredients. (it's still hot, just hope your post-nut shame is dead.)

As far as AI art goes, this is VERY good, consistent style and not hyper generic porcelain-faced statue people. 15 full written scenes with multiple images (with access to replay gallery from home.) Additionally a fair number of alternate images for repeat collections and one shot photos.

Fantastic job, AI actually looks good and not too sloppy (example images incidentally I think are the most slopped ones in the game), the kinks are hot, the protagonist is unapologetically lewd and most importantly the mechanics of the game support that. There is not THAT much content yet, but the foundation is there and I'll be eagerly awaiting more.

Review written for 0.6.0
Overall, I like this game, the content is varied enough, kinky enough and the game connects the point of having lewd content with the in-game objective of collecting reagents and progressing in alchemy.
The resource management is not too coercive (no annoying rent to pay which rarely serves gameplay purpose for instance), this is a noteworthy plus.
This game has the usual HTML syndrome of lots of clicking with many screens not having many options, but I have hope that it gets better, as an effort is clearly being made in UX.
Therefore, a hopeful 4* that may warrant a 5 depending on future development.
