Eternights

story is well not the greatest at times it can feel really generic with its writing style iv found atleast but it is still allrightly written with its darker tones. gameplay is overall fun once you get used to it hard to fully master solid 7.5 out of 10 in my books i hope they improve with the second game likely a sequal title hopefully which i look foward playing once it drops

I went into Eternights expecting a fun, horny little anime game where I could fight monsters and romance cute people. I absolutely did not expect it to emotionally destroy me. The game is pervy, ridiculous, and sometimes incredibly stupid, but I mean that affectionately. I laughed a lot. Somehow that silliness also made the emotional parts hit much harder. By the end, I realized I wasn't playing my character the same way anymore. Once I found the person I actually wanted to romance, I didn't even want to pick the horny dialogue options. I genuinely cared about him and wanted them to have a future together. And then this stupid horny apocalypse game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wrecked me. It's definitely rough around the edges. The combat is janky and gets repetitive, and the UI drove me insane until I eventually got used to it. I also really wish the party had been more balanced. For a lot of the game, it felt like I had a harem of women following me around. I loved all of them, but the only M/M romance comes WAY too late. I wanted more time with him, more everyday moments, and especially some reactions from the rest of the group once my character suddenly became completely smitten with a man. But the art is gorgeous, the characters are lovable, the humor worked for me, and underneath all the horny jokes is a surprisingly sincere story about falling in love when the future isn't guaranteed. Eternights isn't a perfect game, but it left a much bigger impact on me than plenty of "better" games have. I'm still thinking about those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dots on the map. Give me my dots, Studio Sai. ❤️
