About The Sad Story of Emmeline Burns
As the saying goes, dead men tell no tales. They only leave tales behind.Toma Andrews, aged 14, has always felt like an outsider. She enjoys spending time in graveyards, and feels more comfortable among the dead than the living.
That is, until Toma meets a strange girl in her local graveyard who might be a real ghost.
The girl asks Toma if she will stay for a while and listen to a story. A story about a girl called Emmeline Burns, who died a tragic death back in 1851.
Toma is compelled to listen, but at the same time, she feels uneasy. After all, what can she do? How could she ever hope to help somebody who has already died?

✦ AI summary
Players praise this short visual novel for its beautiful art style, charming characters, and emotionally resonant storytelling that manages to be both melancholic and hopeful. However, some find the art's lighting overly bright and difficult to look at for extended periods, and note that while the 2-hour experience is pleasant, it may not leave a lasting impression long-term.
A short, sweet story that can be read in one sitting. I love everything from the story, to the characters, lovely music and wonderful art.2 found this helpful
weird yuri involving a bunch of 13 or 14 year olds acting "mature" while also "innocent". any reason why the characters are ALL so young in a lesbian romance? not a single one, no. massive pdf vibes
Easy game to 100%. The story is very romantic and made me cry. However, the only thing you can do in the game is click to go to the next part. There are no choices.
Very cute short game, I like it
ABSOLUTE CINEMA
A short yuri vn (about 2 hours), that in perfect Ebi-hime style, is kinda sad but in a beautiful way, and then leaves you comfy and hopeful when you're done reading it.
