My Lovely Daughter is a dark, psychological alchemist simulator with a haunting narrative that explores grief, obsession, and the lengths a parent will go to defy death. In this unsettling game, you play as Faust, an amnesiac alchemist and father who awakens to find his daughter dead and his memories fragmented. Driven by love and desperation, he turns to forbidden alchemy in an attempt to restore her soul. This isn’t a light-hearted adventure — to fuel his experiments, Faust must create dozens of homunculi, raise them almost like daughters, then sacrifice them to harvest the essences needed to resurrect his lost child.
This grim cycle of creation, nurture, and brutal sacrifice forms the core gameplay loop, blending simulation, resource management, narrative choice, and eerie storytelling. The game’s art style and gothic soundtrack enhance its oppressive atmosphere, and multiple endings, secrets, and letters add replay value for players willing to delve deeper into its disturbing world. My Lovely Daughter is designed to unsettle as much as it engages, making it one of the more unforgettable indie experiences in narrative horror and simulation.
