At Eve’s Wake Definitive Edition

This was a great game. I greatly enjoyed it. All the different paths and the characterization of everyone was good. Everyone felt believable, and there were little tidbits here and there that really drove the horror home. It has a really nice way of handling different flows through the game that makes even the save system feel like part of the eldritch nature of things. Plus there are little tidbits here and there that help push the atmosphere.

A real hidden gem of a game, mysterious and compelling. I honestly can't believe it doesn't get more attention!

Really enjoyed this game, the choices felt meaningful and I enjoy needing to manage my time effectively. Most importantly I enjoyed the story. Definitely recommend

This game is very interesting, however I wish there were a more detailed walkthrough/achievement guide

At Eve's Wake is the kind of games that makes you love a whole genre you don't enjoy otherwise; it is (with 999 and VLR) the prime example of how interactive and engaging a VN can be and is de facto the standard I'll hold the rest of similar games to. The premise is your basic funeral for your dutch granny with all the weird uncles and cousins presents, except you have zero recollection of any of them and there is a chance you might not survive it. The rest is a brilliantly writen psychological thriller, that manages to be fun and incredibly tense through only dialogue and branching narration. The art is on point, with gorgeous and expressive portraits of memorable and visually distinct characters. And the music is great and helps tremendously to build tension. I loved it!

November 29 Edit: I worked with the devs to locate those rare moments where [spoiler]dead[/spoiler] characters show up where they shouldn't. I still need to do a few more checks, but most, if not all, of these instances should have been rectified in the latest update! There is also a guide in development to detail how to get the four different endings, which should help people wanting a roadmap. Super happy about these changes! Original November 16 Review: As evidenced by my playtime, I have been thoroughly enjoying At Eve's Wake for longer than most. I'm a sucker for a good visual novel, and this one was an absolute blast. I don't want to give too much away because I honestly think it's better to go in completely blind like I did; however, what I will say is this: [spoiler]If you like the idea of The Hunger Games combined with Knives Out and cosmic horror, then this game is for you![/spoiler] Compliments: - The plot is loads of fun and interesting - High replay value - Solid game length, especially considering the replayability factor - Good music (I genuinely never got tired of it after 22 hours) - Nice art, both background and character - Good game mechanics (i.e., for person…
