About My Lovely Daughter

My Lovely Daughter is a game about overcoming the loss of a loved one through forbidden alchemy experiments ... and murder. You are Faust, an amnesiac alchemist and father, who wakes up alone and confused only to discover that your lovely daughter has died. As you enter the first stages of grief, you do what everyone wishes they could do but can’t: bring back the dead with the power of alchemy.

To revive your daughter, you must perform forbidden alchemy experiments to restore her soul. You will have to create dozens of homunculi, raise them as if they were your own daughter, build relationships with them ... and then murder them to harvest their souls!

To support your experiments, you will also need to assign jobs to your homunculi, even sacrifice their bodies to sell their remnants, all to keep your income flowing and your research progressing. Perhaps, along the way, you will even recover your own memories and come to understand how this terrible situation came about.

Imagine painstakingly resurrecting your daughter again and again, taking careful notes to get the ratios just right, and then being greeting with a story where the protagonist literally says, "Wait, that's not my

It is a very boring game, and it is not worth the price. I almost wanted to buy the whole bundle before even playing one, but thankfully, my sixth sense told me to buy this one, and come back to buy others next time.

Its a good psychological horror game. The letters the daughters give were what made me the most uncomfortable surprisingly. The way each girl reacts differently to the abuse, the mermaids fawning made me feel the worst.

I can't recommend this game at full price. I can, however, say it could be worth picking up on sale for a few hours of fun, and I'm not mad at the roughly $5 I spent on it. [hr][/hr] The artstyle and concept is

I got one of the bad endings, and I lost all my progress. The game only has auto save, so I couldn't go back to a previous save, it just kicked me to the main menu and my whole play through was gone. The game is very
