I typically find a lot of text given to me at once to be overwhelming, or I feel the need to skim over wordy sections that drag to get to parts when a story moves. I was starting to feel like I was losing patience with descriptive stories in general. But oh girl, was this a breath of fresh air! I absolutely love your writing style c: Going through chunks of text was actually really fun- it feels like I'm being told a story and my attention is being held. It's just written in a way that's fun to read, even beyond the content. I usually enjoy stories just for the sake of the story; but here I also enjoyed the text itself! I was starting to worry that when I tackle the wordier parts of my own game, I'd have accept losing some reader attention. But this has really given me a good showcase of how to do long text segments correctly. Also the artwork is banger; I'm a huge fan of squishy lookin' anime lesbians. The softness really comes through in your work. Great writing, great art, great game :> Also as someone who's seen my own inside parts outside, and had multiple implants put in, and also taken out- the segments written about her mechanical body feel like they've been done justice.
wow throwpup thank you, im very honored by your review! The wordier segments were definitely an obstacle in development, I share the sentiment of expecting them to somewhat skimmed over by player or otherwise not as memorable--but I believed they were important to me so I kept em. So to hear that it was fun to read makes me really happy! Thank you for playing! <3
I found this game just yesterday and I literally binged it.
i thought the game was already finished and my surprise that I needed to wait for act 2!😭
Idk how to feel like its those times when you found a manga that you realy liked but when you read it its says to be continued on season 2. Like you're so happy That you found something you realy enjoyed but at the same time you wish you haven't found this amazing story this early cous that means waiting for a long time to see the next thing that will happen!😭
Its a realy great game and the very first time I played a visuall novel game and my surprise it was realy good.
Thank you for the great game that you made, That made my very first visual novel experience REALY GREAT 🙏✨️
Also a question?
Do you need to download a new app of this game for act 2 or the game itself will just apdate?
Sorry as Ive said its my first time playing this type of games😅
I'm honored that Eventide was your first visual novel! There are so many stellar visual novels on itch that you should definitely check out if you liked mine!
Act 2 will be an updated version of this same build so you will have to redownload when the time comes, but all of your saves will still work (probably) :)
So I've just finished my 2nd playthrough and I'm loving this more and more. I guess I have weak spots for the womaniser girl and the girl with the neckbeard nest lol.
It's kind of embarrassing to post this in public, but are you interested in localising this into Japanese?
Actually, I'm a professional English to Japanese game translator with more than 6 years of experience, and I really want to translate your game with my own hands (for free, of course).
I'm thrilled you were able to enjoy it for a second time! It would be amazing to see this game in Japanese and I'm honored that you are willing to undertake that endeavor--I'm admittedly unexperienced on that front when it comes to Ren'py. . .But still I'd be happy to provide any files you need for the translation, just let me know! (my email is on my creator page)
Another thing is that there's a few typos/errors in this version I am planning to patch out soon as well as updating some visuals, It may not effect the Ren'py translation process but just as a heads up.
Overall a fantastic start to a story; a beautiful combination of a visually appealing anime art style along vivid writing within this almost dystopian/ fantastical setting creates a memorable experience and leaves you wanting more.
I give it a 8/10 because despite the fantastic writing and visuals, there are quite a few parts that seem to drone on (mainly whenever Miriam is explaining something in regard to Adelle) that leave me asking "what is the point of this?" Its not necessarily a bad thing as it is establishing rules/ lore but the story leans very hard into "Slice of Life" at times and can give a feeling of "please just hurry up and show me the cool stuff again." If you like slice of life anime featuring cute/sexy anime girls you'll love this but to me the slice of life parts heavily drain the tension of the mystery surrounding Adelle/ the arbiters. Having an intense scene going on and then reverting back to a cutsie conversation or situation can be jarring. There are multiple moments of events occurring that left me in a state of hyper focus and excitement to then suddenly be ripped out and back into Miriam's room wanting to go back.
The art is beautiful and the author has clearly mastered the craft of creating some of the most fine anime thighs itch.io has ever seen. There are plenty of cgs for you to enjoy, I found myself removing the text and looking at all the attention to detail the author packed into each cg. The cgs can range from cool, to surprising, to horrifying, to flat out fanservice. Very well done!!!
The writing within the vn is very strong. The author's writing will change appropriately depending on the situation at hand. During tense scenarios the author does a great job at making the reader feel that; not only through clever word choice, but a general vibe. It will be obvious how the author wants you to feel and it comes across in a natural way. The essence of any situation gets translated very well through the writing; this goes for both tense scenarios and also more laid back ones. The writing to me seems somewhat inspired by vn's such as Full Metal Daemon Muramasa or Muv Luv. Author knows how to write and for a first release its very impressive, also must mention the dialogue between characters is full of unique personality and just flat out cute at times.
Music within the VN compliments the scenarios within it very well overall, only nit picks I have are sometimes the music seems a bit too much especially during moments of interpersonal drama (not gonna name exact scenario don't want to spoil). The one song I can't stand is the Damn Miriam one. You get sucked into exciting moments and then get pulled back to Miriam's room along with a relaxing beat to go with it. There are definitely a few good boppers in this vn though. Nice choices in music overall.
Looking forward to the next part, without getting into spoilers the ending will leave you wanting more!! Very nice job to the talented Author/artist/dev!! Looking forward to seeing more! Keep it up!!!!
Thank you so much for reading and I appreciate you taking the time to write such a thought-out review! I'm honored to know you hold the thigh cgs in such high regard, I am excited to provide more in the future! <3
This is so good i cant believe how much work you put in this. i Wish i found this later because i don't know when act two will be released, but if i have to pay then i will. And if anybody hates on this then they need to do something with their life cause this is a masterpiece!

YEEEHHYYY Thanks mate!!!
Wait wait wait probably!!??😱
I just can't believe no one is talking about this game.
This is a real hidden gem.
Both the volume and the quality are insane. And I just loved how messy Miriam's house is!
It is against my religion to play a good yuri game for free, so I donated some (not much though) :)
Keep up the good work!
Wow, thank you so much for your generosity!!! I promise to keep making yuri!!
Hi kolulu!
