+ cute yuri game + interesting mystic concept + a few fun conversations - this is NOT a horror or a thriller. there are definitely no scary or tense moments in the game - the game is short, but terribly repetitive - I expected more from Akomi, almost all her innuendo are dull This is a cute short game with misleading tags in the annotation. The characters and the story itself lack depth. Even so I enjoy this game. You should give it a chance

About This Game
Solana Academy is a prestigious all-girl boarding school in a remote corner of Japan. Despite its distance from major cities, it never wants for students or funding.
However, the ideal school life at Solana Academy is disrupted by the sudden appearance of grotesque monsters from the formerly sealed-off old dormitory. A chance discovery of magical “petals” leaves four students as the only line of defense against this threat. But as the girls investigate the old dormitory for a way to be rid of the monsters, they begin to uncover a sinister truth regarding their school…
Features:
- A romance/paranormal thriller visual novel with horror elements. Yue's choices determine who she becomes close to as she investigates the secrets of her school.
- Three dateable characters and five total ending routes. And if Yue is not careful with her choices, she may not even survive the ordeal.
- A series of bonus stories after completing the main game. These stories expand on certain endings or characters, or explain details that were kept hidden in the main story.

Fun lil visual novel.
A nice mild magical girl (without the flashy change scenes or clothes change) type horror with mild yuri romance. This is the prelude of the Eldritch University VN which is The Girl who got Badly hurt and her girlfriend.. You have the 3 girl endings and a harem and a secret ending, I have the secret and harem to find. It is a good VN so give it a go.
Eldritch Academy is a cute visual novel game with interesting lore and fun dialog. To me the game feels like a mashup of Harry Potter & Power Rangers with a splash of Scooby Doo thrown in. At the time of this writing I have completed one route in about five hours. This VN contains no voice acting, and while this is a non issue for me other people may not like that so I felt it was an important detail to note. After completing the game a dictionary type of thing unlocks that provides further interesting backstory to some of the things mentioned in the game and I found this to be a nice touch. I am looking forward to more games from this developer.
Nice and interesting read. Eagerly awaiting the sequel.
I've read the author's Nightshade series so I decided to get the Eldritch VNs to support them. Unfortunately the first VN is a bit of a dud and it's all because of the MC, Yue. Sure, the MC of the Nightshade was a bit bland and simple but she was cute and enjoyable when she and her partner were developing their relationship. Yue however doesn't really develop at all during the story as she starts the plot kind of a jerk who avoids one of the few people who likes her like the plague, and ends that story treating her "friend" the same way, except she may have a girlfriend by the end of it which also doesn't really work. The romance kind of sucks, which is a shame cause I know this author for their slice of life romances. They followed the bad VN thing of mostly being the same only slight changes like Cho's would have manga and cosplay stuff and feeling left out cause of her appearance while Kagami would having gaming and upset that she was issues expressing herself. I know these sound...
MC is genuinely unlikable, hates everyone who is just being nice to her, and doesn't deserve a relationship with any of them.

Fun story about schoolgirls fighting supernatural creatures. While your choices, for the most part, won't effect the story outside the romance and it can be a bit tedious to get every ending, I genuinely loved the love interests and their relationships with Yue (Kagami was my fave). I would definitely recommend giving it a try if you're a fan of GxG romance. (:
