Ephemerid: A Musical Adventure

Absolutely charming little musical adventure.

A lovely little game. I reccomend it, but I really wish it had a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ settings menu. It’s pretty clunky as it’s ported from mobile. That being said- I love Ephemerid. I think it’s absolutely worth the price.

Came to this game because I love Beacon Pines and its soundtrack, and I do not regret it. The soundtrack for Ephemerid is amazing and it is visually very appealing. It's a pretty easy game and I'm not sure you CAN lose, but it's entertaining nonetheless! I recommend playing it if you ever have an hour or two to kill. As someone with ADHD, I can say that this game is a good ADHD trap.

Much more rock opera than I was expecting, and was a blast to play through. Great visual design, soundtrack, and story.

This game is absolutely beautiful. It may be short, but it makes the absolute most out of every second. The game is presented through a gorgeous storybook-like paper collage aesthetic and is accompanied by an equally gorgeous soundtrack. The story is very fairytale-esque. While it is quite simple, it is hard-hitting and had me in tears by the end. The rhythm-based point-and-click gameplay constantly shakes things up and never gets stale throughout the whole experience. The game is also dirt-cheap, the full price being only 3 USD. To anyone reading this, I beg of you to pick this game up. It is the textbook definition of a hidden gem.

I guess you could see it as an interactive instrumental album. It's sweet and short (around ~1) although according to HLTB it takes ~6 hours on completionist. I didn't stick to find out why. The simple story, cute graphics and mostly pleasant soundtrack make up for a nice experience, BUT this certainly looks like it was intended for touch screens and not a PC mouse. Towards the end I did start getting a little annoyed with all the clicking and when some of the concepts repeated themselves, that didn't add much. Still a cute experience if it somehow gets to tour library.
