Ren'Py - ArchAlchemy [v0.1b] [Ardxarv]

Not sure why the 3.5 stars, when this should be 5.

Pros:

- storyline is unique, you start off by a sex scene which rare
- alchemist, love potions, mindcontrol -> kinky genre
- graphics are top notch, I know it's AI, but it's really consistent and well done AI art
- incest, if that's your thing
- appropriate music
- dialogue fits the scenes well, and not like other lengthy nonsense

Cons:

- incomplete
- may take quite a bit of polishing for the story branching
- not too sure what paths are available, or if characters will expand

These sorts of games tend to be overlooked due to the AI art, but if you give it a chance, I am sure you will like it. Also, once this hit 0.4 I'll start donating heavily. You have my full support, don't give up DEV!

Even though it's AI-generated content, I really found myself captivated by both the story and the art. At first, I was a bit skeptical about how much depth and emotion an AI could truly convey, but I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. The storyline was engaging and well-structured, with characters that felt surprisingly real and relatable. The plot twists kept me invested, and I couldn't help but admire the way the narrative unfolded, maintaining a balance between suspense and meaningful development.


The art, on the other hand, was nothing short of stunning. The attention to detail in each scene, the vibrant color palette, and the way the expressions of the characters were captured added a whole new layer of immersion to the experience. It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into designing each frame, making it visually appealing and perfectly complementing the storyline.


In the end, it was a reminder that while AI-generated content might not replace human creativity, it can still produce something genuinely enjoyable and thought-provoking. This blend of technology and storytelling opened my eyes to the potential of AI in the creative world, making me curious to explore more of what it can offer.

Just started playing this. The art is pretty damn good. The sex scenes are done pretty well too with multiple angles to go with the text. I haven't noticed any animations but the game uses a fair amount of static images to move the action along. There are enough images to tell the story which isn't the norm for games that use nice artwork in lieu of animations. Usually they show one great pic and then a wall of text.

The thing that is holding it back is the hideous dialogue. God, it's so cringe reading the MC calling his mother a slut and referring to her cunt during sex like some pathetic alpha wannabe. Not only does the dialogue not fit the characters but the setting is in some era where people live in villages not in swingertown USA.

The game opens with an accident that exposes his mother and the MC to a huge dose of love potion. Things go predictably crazy but there isn't much of a transition from normal M/S to the MC calling his mother a slut. It's juvenile cringe writing. It's a shame given how decent the art is.

. 3 stars seems fair enough.

Uh, the art was great and all but everything felt very... rushed. When the potion shattered it was just filled with random sex scenes. Little to no story yet but as I said random sex.

Hopefully the Dev working on the pacing of the story because I got bored after all a while. Also, all sexual dialogue doesn't have to be "Slut" this or "Whore" that. Very boring speedrun so far even in the sandbox setting. It was just "Click here to fuck".

Good luck on your project.

CONS-
I like the concept, models. But the huge issue is the inconsistent models, some very ugly renders (Don't know how they made into game) makes me feel that the project is rushed.
Also some renders(if not all) are directly put into game from AI generation which made them stretch into ugly resolution.
PROS-
Lot of content and progression for initial release, although it feels a bit rushed.
Hope the dev take his time redo some renders to fix the game, before adding more content for next update.

My review

I don't know why I played it but I thought I was going to find something else like in other cases. In the end it lacks something for 2025.

▶ It's entertaining but there's a lack of sandbox for the future.

▶ It would be nice if it had animations if not I will leave it in oblivion.

▶ Good jpg but lacking animations.

Score out of 5: ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆

Melkor style Art is always amazing. Never knew AI could do this so well.. great work by the creator. Eagerly awaiting updates here. The UI and "Game" part of it needs more work. The MILF is everything you could ask for... recommended

This is the best AI art game on this site and one of the best 0.1 versions I have played. The plot is pretty standard, the MC is living with his mom and older sister, and he is an alchemist who made a love potion. While it uses some tropes I think they are very well executed and this type of plot can lead to different types of mind control and corruption scenarios which I am a fan of.

There is not much else I want to say about the plot except I look forward to where it goes. The art on the other hand, I have a lot to say about. While it is AI art, it has truly impressed me.

The dev has fully leveraged the main advantage of AI art: quantity, and included many images to create lengthy scenes. The character designs are great and most importantly the face, clothing, and body proportions are maintained throughout the scenes and poses.

The main content so far is for the mom, she is a standard caring milf. She accidentally knocks over some aphrodisiacs and she and the MC get affected by it. The scene with her is lengthy and gets straight to the hot stuff, and it has a lot of well-generated images.

The second major character is a tomboy older sister with a slim body with some abs. I liked how the balance is maintained between making her fit and muscular while still keeping her feminine.

An effort is also put into the designs for the minor characters and the general maps and backgrounds. Overall it presents an art style and setting that feels cohesive. At no point did I feel like it was hurt due to being AI-generated.

TL;DR The plot is generic but personally appealing to me, the character designs are excellent, and I recommend giving it a try even if you usually avoid AI art games.

I am looking forward to future updates to the game. I wish all the best to the dev for this project and wish them all the luck and success.

very nice and attractive models, i like the story too. can you please add android and iphone verson too please, i need to take it to bathroom to finish, carrying laptop is very hard, but phone is easy. But i still carried my laptop, worth itt.

I know people have mixed feelings on AI art, but it's used well here. The main MILF is hot as hell. And the use of AI allows the dev to pump out pretty lengthy scenes. There's slight inconsistency with clothing (the roommate is wearing fantasy leather armor in one scene and jeans in the next?) and setting, but it's not too distracting. Also a few of the images have weirdly exaggerated features, but on the whole the AI art is great.

There's potential here

Promising premise and I actually really enjoyed the AI generated art in this game. The writing could use some polish and hopefully there will be some NTR and non-consensual content added soon, otherwise it's definitely worth a try.

Another AI Visual Novel based on the Melkor style. This one however doesn't care about hiding it, it's Melkor through and through. Not gonna complain about the style choice, I like his artwork and well, we're on a pirate forum anyway.

My main gripe with this game is the horrible renders. It's straight up generate and paste it into the game. I've counted 6 different eye colors for the MILF, 6 fingers, 4 fingers, 3 fingers, dislocated hands, it's all present.

Can't draw and want to use AI to make a game? I'm all for it.
But I'd like to see some effort put in... Please just do quality control on the images, make sure they're as consistent as they can be...

The writing is OK, nothing special, not horrible.

Wish it was a bit longer for a first release as well.

Honestly, disappointing.
