An Alchemist’s Tale: Where Brews and Brothels Brew Up Trouble (and Pleasure)

Captain Allegretto Games’ “An Alchemist’s Tale” isn’t your typical potion-brewing simulator. Sure, you’ll concoct bubbling concoctions and experiment with exotic ingredients. But the real magic unfolds beyond the confines of your cluttered laboratory. As Allen Williams, a charmingly bumbling alchemist with a knack for trouble (and a talent for seduction), you’ll become the village’s unofficial problem solver. The problems you tackle, however, come with a unique, and decidedly erotic, twist.

“An Alchemist’s Tale” isn’t just about finding the perfect love potion or concocting the ultimate hangover cure. It’s about delving into the lives of the villagers, each with their own unique desires and hidden fantasies. There’s the voluptuous farmer’s wife, Martha, whose yearning for a more passionate connection fuels her request for a “strengthening elixir.” But a potent love potion might not be the only solution Martha seeks; a steamy encounter within the confines of your cluttered lab, fueled by the intoxicating fumes of forgotten ingredients, could prove to be a far more effective remedy.

Then there’s the stoic blacksmith, Gregor, whose gruff exterior masks a surprising curiosity – a curiosity about the aphrodisiac properties of certain rare herbs. Helping him concoct a “bravery potion” for an upcoming competition might involve more than just grinding herbs and measuring liquids. A shared task under the flickering oil lamp could ignite a spark, leading to a night of untamed passion in the coolness of his forge, the rhythmic pounding of the hammer replaced by a more primal rhythm of desire.

“An Alchemist’s Tale” isn’t without its challenges. Your “alchemical” solutions often veer into the realm of the forbidden, blurring the lines between professional assistance and personal gratification. Do you succumb to the alluring whispers of Martha, risking a jealous husband and potential village gossip? Or do you maintain a professional distance from Gregor, knowing that indulging in his desires could lead to a fiery scandal and a scorched reputation?

The game presents a unique balance – solving problems with creative “alchemical solutions” while navigating the erotic potential that simmers beneath the surface of village life. Every problem you tackle comes with an enticing proposition – a chance to explore the desires of the villagers and, in the process, discover your own hidden talents (both in the lab and the bedroom).

“An Alchemist’s Tale” throws you into a world where villagers yearn for more than just potent potions. It’s a story that explores the human desire for connection, the thrill of forbidden encounters, and the intoxicating blend of problem-solving and pleasure. Are you ready to step into the shoes of Allen Williams, the village’s most unconventional (and potentially scandalous) alchemist? Dive into Captain Allegretto Games’ daring creation and discover a world where bubbling concoctions and simmering desires brew up a potent tale of love, lust, and “An Alchemist’s Tale.”

V2.9 “Bedtime Tails”

• Lis story continued: if you’ve reached the end of her content the TBD quest in your journal should simply be active.
◦ 4 cutscenes and 1 scene following this quest leading up to the decision point for her arc. Future Lis content will be split into what I’ve been calling the “Stag/vixen” and “Monogamous” routes. FOR NOW You will be able to change routes once either has content added so don’t worry about the decision yet just pick one.
• Rain X Zeleshi Tent scene – Unlock rain’s store and have 100 gems to open this option.
• Josie X Allen scene and quest – Unlock the equine potion and head to the farm to start.
• Allen X Wes – Available in the southwoods after Shelby makes her proposition.
• Wes VN Art added to all previous conversations.
• 4 New “Best friend hangout” scenes. These are short cutscenes where characters talk about recent events. I’ll hopefully be adding one or two every update. These four are: (Bilia first met), (Green first met), (Green questline finished) and (Zeleshi revealed).
• New scenes in gallery, fixed a problem where two entries where using the same variable.
• Added a “Fix screen” option to debug wand that should resolve most strange errors that can occur. (like screen filter remaining on after a scene)
• Fixed a bug where the fishing quest didn’t actually appear in journal.
• Fixed a bug where a bunch of switches turned on for no reason and caused some things to go out of sync. Saves will auto-fix themselves but If you viewed Bilia’s bad bet specifically it may act like you haven’t and give you the first time viewing again.
• Fixed some backend code for VN art to give me some extra control.
• A lot of little map touchups.

V2.8 “Some Content”

• Zeleshi Reward HJ scene (and Chieftess version)
◦ Offered in onsen after unlocking it and having a soak with Z.
• Bilia’s Bad bet extended
◦ Bring a strength potion and steal warren’s spot for public fun.
◦ Another alternative version can happen if Allen has finished the “Bar slut” chain of events with Warren.
▪ This alt gets better if you do it twice.
• Shelby Tent scene. As the other tent scenes but requires knowing about her and Wes’ relationship first. (Happens when you are able to trigger the equine potion scene with her)
• First “best friend squad” conversation. This will be a series of cutscenes between Izzy Allen and Jamie where they discuss story events while goofing off in the woods. Only the first one is right now but I plan to add one or two every update.
• Jamie VN art. Slow continued effort of moving characters that matter out of their silhouette era.
• Fixed some bugs, Notably:
◦ one that caused Bilia’s capstone scene to keep reoccurring.
◦ Added some blockers that should help prevent players from accidentally getting timelocked in the wrong time during greenquest.
• Expanded the gallery space and added a missing scene or two along with the new ones.
