The Fairy's Secret

The Fairy's Secret is a superbly well-written yuri fantasy VN. Though it is the sequel to The Fairy's Song, I believe that it carries much weight on its own and indeed is the potential springboard for future, related visual novels. The central characters, Lisbeth and Marnie are well supported by three major characters, Edmund, Jane/Linette(?) and Grandma Iris, each of whom play a key role in the story development. The artwork, music and UI are very well done but may I underline that the artwork is no less than excellent as we approach and experience the climactic scenes. In summary, a beautifully written ebi-hime fantasy not to be missed.

A very good sequel to an already very good yuri vn. I'm glad to see Edmund make a comeback and the moments between the three of them were very fun to read. All in all a pretty sweet romance vn with some angst and fight scenes for good measure.

Спасибо, что придали мотивации сдавать на права!

Continuation of the first part. you can play it alone but I don't recommend it. both parts are great and definitely worth a few euros to play. beautiful drawing, simple but beautiful story.

A lovely finale to a great story

Having played and enjoyed the first game in this series, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1244260/The_Fairys_Song/]The Fairy's Song[/url], The Fairy's Secret is an improvement in pretty much every way. While the character and CG artist is the same as for the first game, their work is noticeably improved in The Fairy's Secret. The old background art, music, and UI are carried over from the previous game for consistency, but their are additional scenes, tracks, and even UI elements that enhance the sequel. I liked the plot threads that were carried over from the first game; it was interesting to see more of Linette and of Edmund (btw, if you saw a review that says there's romantic content between Edmund and Lisbeth, it's plain wrong lmao. Their relationship is explicitly anti-romantic and even antagonistic at times). I also really liked Marnie's grandmother, particularly the way her age is written. She's not necessarily feeble or frail, but she needs more help around the house than a young woman would, and the game doesn't shy away from Marnie's worries about her aging grandmother. It's a bit sad, but realistically so (speaking as someone who's lost all their grandparents and has quite a few aged aunts and uncles). There's a lot of fun slice-of-life date moments to be had here, but the dramatic plot thread is never forgotten - it leads you through the story right up to the, honestly, [i]epic[/i] climax. Everything is completely on point for the story's final scenes: the writing, the pacing, the art and music - even the programming does some noticeably interesting things with the game's art and movement. All of this came together to really hook me, and I absolutely could not stop reading. If you liked the first game, this sequel is definitely worth your time. It delivers a plethora of Marnie & Lisbeth moments, sweet and serious alike, keeping a similar tone with the first game but improving upon all aspects.

A really enjoyable sequel to one of my favourite visual novels. Marnie and Lisbeth are such a cute couple, I would happily read tons of VNs starring them!

The Fairy’s Secret, developed and published by ebi-hime, is a fantasy yuri visual novel that serves as a direct sequel to The Fairy’s Song, continuing the story of Marnie and Lisbeth with a blend of romance, nostalgia, and quiet supernatural intrigue. Set two years after the events of the first game, the narrative opens on a peaceful note. Marnie has been accepted into an art university in London, and she and Lisbeth are now living together, enjoying a comfortable domestic life built on trust and affection. This sense of stability forms the emotional baseline of the story, making the disruptions that follow feel more personal and significant. The plot begins in earnest when the couple travels to the rural village of Fenchapel to visit Marnie’s ailing grandmother. What initially appears to be a simple countryside visit gradually evolves into something more layered. Familiar faces resurface, including figures tied to the magical and knightly conflicts of the past. The reappearance of Edmund, a knight previously thought defeated, introduces a thread of unresolved tension. His warnings about the surrounding forest and lingering dangers shift the tone from gentle slice-of-life to quiet suspense, though the story never abandons its fundamentally warm character focus. As a kinetic visual novel, The Fairy’s Secret follows a linear narrative without branching paths or player-driven choices. This structure allows the story to unfold at a deliberate pace, emphasizing character interactions and atmosphere over decision-making mechanics. Rather than encouraging replay for alternate endings, the experience is designed as a cohesive continuation of the established narrative. The length—substantially longer than many of ebi-hime’s shorter works—provides room for deeper emotional exploration and expanded worldbuilding. The heart of the game lies in the relationship between Marnie and Lisbeth. Their bond feels more mature and settled compared to the earlier stages of romance depicted in the first installment. Everyday conversations, shared jokes, and quiet moments of affection reinforce their connection. These domestic scenes ground the fantasy elements, making the magical aspects feel integrated rather than overwhelming. The writing excels in portraying intimacy not through dramatic declarations but through small, meaningful gestures and shared history. The fantasy components expand on the lore introduced previously, blending elements of fairy folklore with knightly legend. While there are moments of tension and confrontation, the tone remains more contemplative than action-driven. The mystery surrounding Edmund and the forest serves as a narrative engine, but it never eclipses the emotional stakes tied to personal growth and loyalty. Themes of memory, forgiveness, and the consequences of past choices subtly weave through the storyline. Visually, the game maintains a polished anime-inspired aesthetic. Character sprites are expressive and refined, and event illustrations highlight key emotional or dramatic moments. The backgrounds, particularly those depicting the countryside of Fenchapel and the surrounding forest, contribute significantly to the atmosphere. Soft lighting and natural scenery reinforce the tranquil yet slightly uncanny mood. The original soundtrack complements these visuals with melodic pieces that shift between cozy warmth and understated suspense. While some players may find the pacing slow due to its introspective focus, this deliberate rhythm is part of the game’s identity. It prioritizes immersion and emotional resonance over rapid plot progression. The absence of branching choices may limit interactivity, but it also ensures narrative cohesion and thematic consistency. The story feels complete and carefully structured rather than fragmented by alternate routes. Ultimately, The Fairy’s Secret succeeds as a heartfelt sequel that deepens its characters while expanding its magical world. It balances romance and mystery without sacrificing either, delivering a narrative that feels both comforting and quietly adventurous. For players who appreciate character-driven fantasy with tender yuri romance at its core, it offers a satisfying and emotionally rich continuation that honors its origins while standing confidently on its own.
