Kiyoko Ishikawa (CV: N i i)
As an aspiring scientist, Kiyoko prides herself on her ability to control her emotions through the use of logic. At least, that's what she believes. Despite having an overly emotive personality, she's often mistaken for the quiet type despite having a lot to say. Her inquisitive nature usually leads to chaos, as despite enjoying an experiment or two she has no concern for health and safety procedures. Kiyoko is the founder and currently sole member of the science club and tends to keep to herself, being known around the school for her outstanding intellect.Naomi Satō (CV: Amber Barile)
Naomi is a girl with plenty of passion, most of which she puts into her attitude. Extremely popular, even to those of the same sex. She isn't afraid of conversation, however despite her popularity her social circle is quite limited. She is the captain of the athletics team when she isn't having her say over every sporting club in the school. She'd be considered a tomboy by most outsiders, but those who know her well are privy to her innermost girlish quirks.

✦ AI summary
Players praise the well-written story about reconnecting estranged friends, strong voice acting, and polished UI design that stands out among visual novels. However, some note inconsistent voice quality for certain characters, occasional English grammar and spelling errors, and familiar anime/visual novel tropes that limit originality. Overall, it's considered a solid, wholesome romantic drama that delivers good value despite not being groundbreaking.
Chemically Bonded is an indie visual novel developed and published by ds-sans that builds its experience around romance, school life, and the complexities of repairing damaged friendships. Rather than aiming for an epic narrative, the game focuses on a smaller and more personal story, placing players in the shoes of a high school student who finds himself caught between two girls whose relationship has deteriorated over time. The premise immediately establishes a familiar anime-inspired atmosphere, blending lighthearted moments with emotional drama while inviting players to shape the outcome through their choices. At the center of the story are Kiyoko and Naomi, two characters with contrasting personalities that drive much of the narrative. Kiyoko's enthusiasm for science and optimistic outlook stand in stark contrast to Naomi's more reserved and stubborn demeanor. Their strained friendship serves as the emotional backbone of the game, giving players a reason to invest in their interactions beyond simple romantic pursuits. While the character archetypes are recognizable to anyone familiar with visual novels, the writing succeeds in making their conflicts feel genuine enough to car…4 found this helpful
This is simply a story about ex-best friends who had to cut off from each other due to an incident, and a passing-through student who may be the key to mending those severed bonds. The UI is nice, the voice acting is good, and the story is well-written (albeit with some typos and grammatical errors I caught during game play, and clear traces of anime/VN cliches).2 found this helpful
I'm so-so on this game. I thought it was alright for me. In terms of quality this game is really great though.
Some surprisingly bad Engrish, and the voices for some of the characters are...... interesting. But it's got a good premise so far, and I'm enjoying it. If you're a fan of VNs, you'll probably like this just fine.
Romantic drama for younger audiences but well done. I liked the UI a lot, clearly much effort went into it in comparison with other renpy implementations I saw on steam. Story... well you need to see and judge by yourself I am too old to offer a valuable opinion on this one.
A sweet and wholesome love story
