About

As the saying goes, dead men tell no tales. They only leave tales behind.
Toma Andrews, aged 14, has always felt like an outsider. She enjoys spending time in graveyards, and feels more comfortable among the dead than the living.
That is, until Toma meets a strange girl in her local graveyard who might be a real ghost.
The girl asks Toma if she will stay for a while and listen to a story. A story about a girl called Emmeline Burns, who died a tragic death back in 1851.
Toma is compelled to listen, but at the same time, she feels uneasy. After all, what can she do? How could she ever hope to help somebody who has already died?

quite riveting for something so short! i'm fond of ghosts (the concept lol) and how it ties to stories and identities myself so story-wise this was a very welcome treat to have. a kind of biased perspective since the story deals with topics i'm already partial to but ebi-hime's writing is already quite strong in this despite this being one of the older works in the collection (albeit i do think some punches are pulled especially towards the end). particularly endeared by the ui and some of the background work: there's just something about the choppy editing of the greenery in the lake background that is so kyute to me... probably a product of my time as well; it's so hard to find something earnestly edited kyutely like that nowadays! excited to read your newer works!
A short nice little tale, that I do feel pulls some punches by the end when it could have been sadder, but I still enjoyed it, and the epilogue at the end was a nice touch. Great game to waste an evening if need be.

Oh my God this made me cry, such a beautiful story..! <3
So cute (/≧▽≦)/
Good short and sweet. Won't blow you away but the Yuri is good and the way the story concludes is satisfying and sweet. A nice free vn from ebi
A Short, Unforgettable Experience A deeply moving and beautifully crafted narrative game. "The Sad Story of Emmeline Burns" uses its simple interactivity, stunning visuals, and perfect soundtrack to create a half-hour of profound sadness and beauty. It’s more of an interactive story than a game, and it executes that concept flawlessly. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates art and emotion in gaming. Rating: ★★★★★
Another wonderful visual novel that is shorter, but is just so interesting in concept it keeps you drawn in.
How fascinating it is to play ^^ Love it!!
Історія розповідає як важливо бути собою та не цуратися своєї індентичности, бо саме прийняття себе здатне змінити життя на краще, попри страх та сором'язливість - головна героїня демонструє, що нормально відчувати страх, коли робиш те, що ніколи не робив. навіть хоробрі люди відчувають страх, але хоробрість, це не коли ти нічого не боїшся, хоробрість, це коли попри страх та тремтіння - ти йдеш, невпевнено, але йдеш. Також воно розповідає, що важливо цінувати кожну мить і не боятись діяти і зробити те, у чому ти вагаєшся. Про що там коротко й без спойлерів: Томо - головна героїня, батько якої - покинув ще до її народження, від матері передалась звичка - тинятися по кладовищам та вивчати історію своїх померлих предків, проте один похід у кладовище в п'ятницю - назавжди змінює життя Томо. Українізація до гри непогана, локалізація гарна, хоч і не без помилок та одруківок, та вони не дуже значні.
