The End of an Actress

I love history and ebi-hime's writing but even with this positive mindset I enjoyed reading this novel even more than I expected. It's based on Marie Antoinette's incarceration. Though I can't say I remember a lot about this real historical figure, even I knew how her life ended but even this way the story managed to surprise me several times plot-wise, I found absolutely all outcomes just perfect though all of them tragic in different extent. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3569868176 The story focuses not on politics but character development and personal relationship and I really appreciate that. The beginning was quite dire, I found the queen unbearably infuriating, so despite this grim way of thinking I enjoyed my first fast 'tragic' ending of [spoiler] killing her with my own hands[/spoiler]⋋_⋌ I guess all that suffering, starvation, war, deaths, betrayed hope touched me too much, so even having learnt more about queen's true situation (though it was rather obvious anyway, if one can think logically, how powerless that teenage girl truly was to change drastically the whole country's fate), even then I couldn't fully forgive her selfish, arrogant, stub…

While finding this VN aesthetically gorgeous, I must say that the story didn't quite keep me as invested as I initially expected. The art and music are lovely, and I enjoyed the historical setting and intriguing premise of the plot! Additionally, the main characters, as well as the dynamic between them (and its development) fairly interested me. Altogether I found the experience quite pleasant, however in my opinion, something about the plot depth is a bit lacking. Despite the limited "room" for action, due to the confined setting, I was hoping for perhaps at least some more complexity in the introspections or just any kind of variety in the scenes. I find the VN sweet, but would suggest buying it on a discount! [strike]Liliane did nothing wrong btw[/strike]

Inconsistent CG and story. Each choice is end the story or continue. And so 4 times. Boring and predictable.

The End of an Actress is a very good visual novel game with a beautiful story. The graphics are nice and the soundtrack is relaxing... The ebi-hime games are really great!!! I highly recommend it. 💗

death to monarchs! marius is handsome

I kind of wish we'd gotten at least one epilogue for Marius, but, the game is quite good. You cannot change much in the story, but each of the main 4 endings has been carefully and meticulously written (there are five but one is a very fast short ending), Cannot quite believe how much I ended up shipping Marius and Liliane, but here we are regardless. May they find a happy-ish ending in Ao3 if not in their canon game, welp.
