- I've been waiting for a game to approach alchemy like this. I love the idea of transmuting emotions into something we can utilize for growth. This game approaches that concept incredibly well and I was very interested in the story. However, where I struggled was with the contrast between the colors to know where to put each memory. Once I unlocked the memory of responsibility I wasn't sure what to do with it and it started bugging out and auto-refreshing the alchemy every time I placed a new memory. Overall, I really liked the art, music, atmosphere, and theme of the game. I think if you provided some clarity on how the alchemy works, it can be a solid game.
