About All Idleness and Ephemera
“Hey, cuz! It’s good to see you again! It really has been too long!”
Yuel was only six years old when his mother died: put to death in a grisly public spectacle for her uncovered infidelity by her own husband, King Khalil.
Yuel has carried the weight of his mother’s death around him for many years, and is no stranger to feelings of abandonment. Largely ignored by his mother, even during her life, and shunned by his powerful, megalomaniacal father, Yuel grows up bereft, lonely, and unhappy.
Yuel’s only ally, as a young boy, is his kindly nursemaid, Safiya – but even she leaves him, once Yuel matures, and becomes a young man.
Now, shortly after his eighteenth birthday, Yuel comes to a crossroads in his life. Driven to madness by his own misery, he turns to his older cousin, Tavi for comfort – but he finds much more than he originally bargained for.
Yuel’s relationship with Tavi, in this spin-off of Ashes, takes on a significantly more sensual turn, as Yuel slowly learns how to overcome his sorrows in Tavi’s arms; and learns, too, how good it can feel to make somebody else feel good.

- A custom soundtrack

- A significantly healthier love story than the one present in Ashes
- Handsome men! ❤︎

"All Idleness and Ephemera" is a coming of age saga revealing two young men who find their soulmate in each other's arms while learning how to balance power in the shadows of a crown's inheritance! ART & STORY: This developer SHINES in rendering the beauty of love with 2D artwork!! This is a LOVE story, but with the INTRIGUE that often colors emotions felt when finding your first true love!! The artists in this production know how to render youth in all its EROTIC splendor!! There's an effeminate side to a handsome young man that is SEDUCTIVE, and these artists paint the Main Characters with these features!! But these MCs aren't just pretty faces, they're also pictured with powerful personalities!! These two will help you remember YOUR first true KISS!! SUMMARY: This erotic love story pays homage to the old adage: I came for the SHOW, but stayed for the STORY!! Here, the VISUAL emphasizes the SEDUCTION from the script!! And, vice versa!! These producers know how to marry the VISUAL arts to the LITERARY arts so they charge each others' batteries--perpetually!! This is an Adult Visual Novel I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Have you heard of IMMERSION? Discard that disbelief at the do…2 found this helpful
This was the first game from Ebi-hime I've played featuring her characters Tavi, and Yuel. I was really charmed at the aesthetic, and the way the characters and settings were drawn, and the story was definitely in my taste, pleasing CGs and some hot scenes to screencap. If you don't mind [spoiler] incest between of-age cousins, [/spoiler] then this game could prove wondrous for you as it proved for me, As of writing this I'm actually playing "To Have and to Hold"━━my now second game featuring the pair. I love these two guys so much, might even cosplay Tavi (he's more my type lol.)2 found this helpful
I bought ebi-hime’s BL bundle because a) I love her games and b) after immensely enjoying [i]To Have and To Hold[/i], I needed more Yuel/Tavi in my life. [i]All Idleness and Ephemera[/i] is the first game that centers their relationship. The first thing to know about [i]Idleness[/i] is it’s an AU spin off of [i]All Ashes and Illusions[/i], a cishet hentai game. [i]Ashes[/i] is where Yuel, Tavi, and Safiya debut. Given her adoration of the cousins now, it was extremely funny to read in the Notes that ebi-hime stumbled upon the Yuel/Tavi ship mostly by accident—she wanted to write something else with Yuel in it, and Tavi was a warm body, haha. [i]Idleness[/i] poses the question of what if Yuel focused his obsessive love on Tavi instead of Safiya. You don’t absolutely need to play [i]Ashes[/i] to understand [i]Idleness[/i], but the starting narration sort of dumps you into an already established world. It was a bit disorienting and abrupt, but hey, that’s the cost of starting in the middle. The second thing to know is [i]All Idleness and Ephemera[/i] is a game centered around sex scenes, though I’m given to understand this designation is more on a technicality than a true entry …2 found this helpful
amazing! tysm!! gorgeous title! art, dialog, scenes... everything is perfect! your beautiful game shot to the top of my list today I've been playing non-stop since I started only stopped bc I have to for a bit and then I'm going back so easy to get lost in it this will be one I visit again and again
Cute characters, fun banter, and lovely art!
A timeline where Yuel left Safiya alone. Oh also there is a lot of consensual gay sex. Yes, they are cousins but given the time period the game replicates there could be much worse things happening.
