EPHEMERAL -FANTASY ON DARK-

Actually sweet stories with Cliché romance things but it doesn't ruin the story at all. Great voice acting. Fluffy and sweet <3

I picked to play this game after a darker VN and just needed a palate cleanser. This game is very stereotypical with its troupes, but liked it regardless. Genuinely enjoyed all the routes. Mindless fluff is still fluff

I'm not sure why people say this game is bad or boring, it's a hidden gem, I'm giving it a 10/10. Romance is great and unlike other commercial Otome Games it's an important part of the storytelling, the love interests all are great and Cloe the main character can be a bit slow but she isn't a doormat, which is much more important imo. She has clear boundaries, she has her own insecurities, and her being a bit dumb can be understood if we take into account her upbringing. She is basically what would happen if someone was never taught anything important, she knows nothing, she's discovering the world and only knows that she should avoid as much as possible getting hurt but she is a bit of a tomboy on that side so she doesn't take it to heart either. Art is of course gorgeous, voice acting is incredible, and the plot isn't shallow despite originally being a Mobile Game. Musics are GREAT, I love the soundtrack and the opening/ending, background art is gorgeous too. It's an old game so obviously no AI has been used. I wish Hunex used the Ephemeral franchise more, the setting can be used very differently depending on MC's race and the LI's, they should make it a full-fledged saga. …

While I did genuinely enjoy this game and it's story, I do not recommend buying it at full price. Get it on sale. There are an abundance of typos and grammatical errors, which seems to be a trend with a lot of VNs sadly. If I wasn't studying Japanese and able to understand what the subtitles couldn't convey, the mistakes would've felt way more annoying than they already were. But, if you can look past all the non-proof read mistakes, it's a very cute game and gave such a whimsical feeling. I played Shiba and Natsume's story, both were amazing but Natsume is my dear favorite. 8/10 experience.

I really like the different storylines of each conquerable character ( although the plot of Shiba an Natsume in the "Romance route" are a bit predictable but enjoyable). But the stories were shorter than I expected. The indicators of the routes are easy, which make the routes very changeable before coming to the end.

duh.
