Short and bittersweet love story with curious twists and turns. Lovely artwork, music, and writing. Each ending truly differed from the other, which can be a rarity with visual novels. Kudos to dev!
Duskbound is a free visual novel, with a Gothic-style story about a young woman living in a drear, blighted city who becomes obsessed with the only radiant person she meets in passing. She cannot forget him, and boldly decides to seek him out; but who is he really, and what does he want? The game has attractive artwork, in which a single small modification from one frame to the next neatly highlights an important action or emotional moment; the soundtrack complements the images and story. Duskbound comprises five main endings, one of which also unlocks an additional ending in the next playthrough; my play time represents one complete playthrough plus multiple uses of save files to get the initial five endings, then one restart for the final ending. The game does not support achievements. All in all, a well-implemented if short game, which I enjoyed playing.

played this game on stream a while back and i loved it. very impressive for a game made during a game jam. very cute art and interesting story. i also just really love vampires, especially deranged ones, so this was right up my alley
全部のエンドをクリア。吸血鬼とのラブロマンス・ホラー。落ち着いた、しっとりとした上品な雰囲気のロマンスアドベンチャーで楽しめました。日本語訳もきちんとした翻訳で不自然なところはありません。お勧めです。
A lovely little horror experience with a few surprises up it's sleeves, very well done.
Absolute cinema! I really want to see a full game based on this
The artwork in this game is very cute, the music is pretty nice as well. There are 5 endings and a secret final route. Each route took me about 15-20 minutes. The story is actually pretty interesting and makes all the routes worth exploring. If you are a fan of romance and drama, I recommend giving this game a shot. If you are curious on what it's like, I have a video on my profile attached to this game where I played it for an hour.

Duskbound is a dark fantasy otome game that blends emotional storytelling with a mysterious, almost gothic atmosphere. The narrative leans into feelings of loss, destiny, and self-discovery, giving players a story that feels deeper than a typical romance. The writing is thoughtful and evocative, and the characters have distinct personalities and motives that keep you invested. The art style is elegant and atmospheric, especially in darker scenes, it helps build the mood and makes key moments feel powerful. The soundtrack supports that tone well, adding subtle tension and emotion without overpowering the dialogue. On the downside, the pacing can feel slow at times, and some routes brake abruptly or don’t resolve as cleanly as you might hope. Players expecting lighthearted moments or quick romantic payoff might find the experience heavier than usual. Overall, Duskbound is a compelling and moody visual novel that rewards patience and interest in emotional depth. If you enjoy character-driven stories with mystery and a darker touch, it’s worth a play. Rating: 8/10
