I was pretty excited to see a new eroge by Waffle being released, as I quite enjoyed their Funbag Fantasy series. Sadly, this release doesn’t quite reach the same level as those titles. The Alchemist & His Battle-Scarred Homunculus is a much more standard Japanese romance eroge, following the typical progressions you’d expect from this type of visual novel.…

Story

Two alchemists, bound together by their ambitious research, dreamt of creating a world where people's hearts could be filled with happiness. After many years, they finally developed the means to do so.

This was the birth of "the homunculus that could survive outside of a flask."

The alchemist’s research paid off, and he celebrated a future where homunculi could enrich the lives of humans as their partners. However, he soon discovered that the friend he trusted had other intentions. He schemed with the king to use their homunculi in war, for which he was richly rewarded and appointed as the royal alchemist.

――Betrayal――

The alchemist confronted his friend.

“Using homunculi in war will reduce human casualties. Expanding our territory is the best chance for prosperity to those living in our kingdom!”

"This is how homunculi can make humanity happy!"

His friend argued back.

――Their bond was a lie.――

The alchemist wept in anger and despair. He went against his friend and pleaded with the king to refuse homunculi from war, but in the end, he was stripped of his position and banished from the royal city for his dissent. Lost in despair, he eventually found himself back in his hometown, which was a remote fishing village. The alchemist took up a quiet life in a house on the outskirts of town, avoiding contact with others.

The years went by.

Despite the rumors of the war's end, the alchemist continued his days like a living corpse, unable to confront the lingering scars on his heart. Until one day, he discovered a "girl" who had been stuffed in bags and dumped in the forest.
