"It has Eris, what else needs to be said?" =(^,.,^)= Jokes aside, I am really enjoying the way that Empyreal Dawn seems to be going. I have been following the creator for a long while now, and am happy to finally see their visual novel on steam. Will give a quick rundown of some of the key things below. Gameplay: It's a VN, so you read, click, read, click, make choices, read, click, etc. Do be sure to enjoy the voice and art though, reasoning below. >.< Art: The art is remarkable, especially so for a indie VN. There are differences in some of the art, probably due to there being various artists, but they still all look amazing and mesh pretty well together as a whole. The background art is also nice, especially the shots of the kingdoms. OST: Not many at the moment, but the one's currently available sound lovely. The fact that there's a music box for you to go back and listen to the soundtrack whenever you want is a very appealing bonus. Definitely recommend giving them a solid...

Right now, the VN is only the demo, so you'll probably want to wait for Chapter 2 before buying. The VN takes about an hour to finish. The first chapter is lightning quick, though it's shaping up to be interesting thus far. The language is a bit old-timey in parts, yet understandable. It has VO and some good character sprites. There's also VO for the menus too, which is nice. Also, even though I'm pretty sure this VN was made by English speakers, there's only JP VO. It's probably trying to disguise itself as a VN actually made in Japan. As for the premise, it's straightforward: Two nations hate each other, and there are additional elements that could make it a 3-way fight. Their issues with each other appear to be over the Goddess of this verse, with one side thinking the Goddess can be trusted, and the other not. There seems to have been a ceasefire between the two nations for a bit, but the nation we see has been building up their war material for a while. In fact, they've been bui...
The content itself is ok, but Vn is falsely advertised as a 2+ hour demo when it took only about a half hour of actual reading to finish. if it was free ill give it a pass but the fact it is way overpriced and it doesnt seem like updates will reallly happen often i only recommend playing the demo instead of buying it
