About
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, there was a traveller...
Our protagonist, a mysterious traveller, wanders the far-off land of Desservir searching for patrons to buy their wares.
Upon hearing about a large annual market in the village of Castella, the traveller decides to set up a stall and try their luck.
Life, however, is not so easy.
After being double-crossed by a goblin and left in the middle of the cold, wet moors to die, the traveller almost gives up hope.
That is, until they stumble upon a mysterious church in the middle of nowhere, and meet the two nuns who attend to it.
What are these two nuns doing on their own, and why is there such a melancholy atmosphere in the air?
The traveller has only one windswept night to uncover these mysteries and learn the truth.

Once on a Windswept Night is an interesting read. It's a bit different than a lot of Ebi-Hime's stuff, and getting the "good" ending was pretty satisfying. I enjoyed this VN quite a bit. Learning about the Traveler was pretty shocking, didn't see that one coming! The changing conversations with Lycoris was interesting .. and a bit chilling. Getting a few of the achievements can be SUPER annoying. You'll need the guide if you want to 100% the achievements. If you want a short, sweet story, just follow the guide for the good ending.
Yes.
[i]Once on a windswept night[/i] is just too damn good. I feel like I say every ebi-hime visual novel is the best ebi-hime visual novel, but it feels true every time. To tell the plot is to recount a dream. The player's ambiguous body meets Lycoris, a princess-looking lady in a library full of books written and yet to be written. She asks for help resolving a book and we're thrust into the nest stories of Daffodil, Sister Madeline, and The Traveller. Usually I content myself with one run of a game, in the name of getting through my backlog, but I couldn't stop playing [i]windswept[/i] until I reached the true happy ending. The ruminations on loneliness, grief, coming-of-age, hunger, toxicity, love vs obsession, self-actualization (like having the selfishness to declare oneself a Person with Wants and Needs), emotional desperation/desolation, fairy tales, authorship, and narrative arcs (as in, what characters think is supposed to happen vs what they want to happen) are recognizable themes from ebi-hime's other works. At points, [i]Once on a windswept night[/i] felt like a proto- or sister story to [i]It gets so lonely here[/i]. Sister Madeline and the gravedigger would have a lot to talk about, and Daffodil admires a cannibal queen from another land. There's tons of Easter eggs to ebi-hime's earlier games. I feel honored to be able to witness repeated motifs and preoccupations in one creative person's body of work. Us fans are so lucky. Each game is a delectable treat, and [i]Once on a windswept night[/i] is no exception. Be a little selfish! Take up space! Vocalize your feelings and let people know you love them! An ever increasing number of lesbians!!! Dive into this story about stories.
Interesting concept, and I liked the story within the story! Very sweet ending 💖 It took me a little longer to finish just to get the RNG achievements. Other than that, the choices to get the rest are pretty straightforward.
Гарна візуальна новела українською.
👎
The game consists only of subtitles, I can't call it a game, it's like a long conversation between two people
.
I desperately need Madeleine And Daffodil to smooch.
Achei bem chatinho, a arte não me pegou, os cenários são sem graça, os personagens, com excessão da Lycoris, são bem sem sal, e apenas não consegue entreter o suficiente para mim. Além de que as freiras são chatas pra caralho
