Alchemist's Vow

The Alchemist's Vow is a dark management simulator inspired by games like My Lovely Wife and My Lovely Daughter.

Driven by grief and desperation, you play as an alchemist who has discovered the forbidden arts of soul transference. Your singular goal: resurrect your deceased wife. But the vessel needs a soul, and souls require sacrifice.

Using the Summoning Circle, you must conjure artificial beings known as Simulacra. Assign them to various jobs across the city—the Hotel, the Brothel, or the Academy—to earn Gold, Essence, and experience.

But these are not mere automatons. Each Simulacrum has their own level of affection, motivation, and material preferences. Talk to them, give them gifts, and manage their well-being. Navigate random events that occur during their shifts, making choices that could boost your profits or protect your creations.

Once a Simulacrum is strong enough, take them to the Sacrifice Chamber. Harvest their experiences to fill the soul vessel, and collect rare materials to summon even more powerful entities from the Void.

Features:

• Summoning System: Discover and collect 20 unique Simulacra across 4 rarity tiers (Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary).
• Job Management: Assign your minions to work, balancing their stamina and motivation against your need for resources.
• Social Mechanics: Converse with your creations. Learn their material preferences, offer gifts, and raise their affection.
• RNG Events: Face random narrative events during shifts with choices that impact your resources and your minions' stats.
• Gallery: Unlock and view beautiful full-size portraits of the Simulacra you discover.
• The Ultimate Choice: Will you treat them as mere tools for the harvest, or will you find yourself hesitating when it comes time for the Ritual of Transfer?

How many must fall for her to rise?
