At Eve’s Wake Definitive Edition

I like this game, but I wish the endings had more meat to them, so to speak. Also I love Woden. I would recommend this game, although maybe only on a more discounted price. The game is really suffering from abrupt and too simple endings.

Quite short. It is a massive shame, given the quality on display here, that they did not have more of a budget to make a longer game. I only got one of a few endings, but I really wish this game was longer.

Absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Terrible Not only is the logic broken, with events not triggerring the way they should and npcs forgetting or remembering various events at random, it is also generally ♥♥♥♥. And it also likes to preach to you about muh minorities.

I can be the puppet of an otherworldy being amidst a family who loves each other to pieces. Sign me up!

At Eve's Wake is an amazing visual novel eldritch horror game that has great art great music. Compared to most visual novel with anime or cartoon characters the art is very refreshing with a more realistic style. Feels like you are really in the middle of a Danganronpa game where you can kill off your opponents if you choose. Also has a fun undertale like system where you can use information from previous saves to your advantage. The characters are really well written but we just don't get enough time with most of them which a shame. The endings are also very rushed but other then these nitpicks I highly recommend it.

Incredibly interesting V/N novel with Lovecraftian elements but really needs a flow chart for choices and maybe a section of the gallery with the info that you've collected from conversations with people like how the families work and who you collected the info from.

It's a short game, around 4 hours, that you can replay a bunch of times. But to what end? I didn't get any special vibes from this. Not lovecraftian. Not gothic fiction. Not murder mistery. The only thing you get is basically an atmosphere of a small-minded and spiteful nature. Most characters are bad. You can mess around trying to kill specific ones, but I suspect you have to replay / click through a lot of stuff repeatedly to get what you want. Some characters are decent, and ideally you would want to save them, but it's the same deal. Maybe I just had an unlucky playthrough, but nothing really happened. The somewhat intriguing plotlines all fell flat. I didn't learn about the entity they worshipped. I didn't get a chance to tell arrogant pricks apart from actually evil characters. You don't know what your choices will do. The characters don't have personalities that you can discern so you don't know what to say to them to build rapport. All in all, at a very heavily-discounted price, it's okay. I hope there is a more complete story in there if you take the time to play all the possible paths. I mean if you have a lifespan of at least 500 years.

An interesting game. It's not quite a time travel game but a game where your character remembers certain details from past playthroughs and this opens up your possibilities. Every day a 'spirit' or something offers you the chance to play through the day again. The idea of playing the game over again with new information (in character) opens up some interesting possibilities. The game has stylistic similarities to games like The Sexy Brutale where you know what's going to happen in the future and you take pains to thwart it. Or maybe you let it happen after all. There's a big roster of characters which might be considered kind of drawback because the game doesn't have enough time and material to flesh most of them out so they end up feeling mostly like window dressing. I feel like the biggest problem in the game is that there needed to be MORE of it, which from a certain perspective isn't the worst problem for the game to have. The game sets up what feeling like a very interesting world and what could be interesting characters but it doesn't seem to have enough time/material to properly develop and make use of them. I did enjoy playing through the game and I think it's worth a playthrough if you like dark VNs with a slight lovecraftian twist. The lovecraft theme is actually very slight. I think the game's premise shows some innovation and I'm curious what else this developer might produce.

I actually really like it. It's well-written and the four endings are a nice touch (even tho I've only seen one so far - on a hunt for the other 3). I only really have two complaints, which is one, it is a TAD bit confusing at first go around, with everyone speaking it (seemingly) some secret code. Like everyone else is privy to the answer to a question you haven't heard yet (and it ultimately ends up being that way?). And that the words are typed out on the screen - though thankfully you can skip through that. It always makes things about 3x slower when things type slower than you read. Other than that, it's actually a really decent game, and if you catch it on sale, or are a big fan of low-commitment visual novels, then go for it. It's worth the first play-through, at the very least.

I still think about this dysfunctional rich family's [strike]murder game[/strike] ceremony conducted during their matriarch's wake in a ritualistic vy for their eldritch patron's favor. Any issues I had with bugs, the devs were quick to address and fix.
