I believe it is. Not to mention MBML directly advertising Eternum in the latter chapters. Some of the creators are friends and acknowledge each others' works. One of em said so but I forgot who it is exactly. You can find cameos and references in other games as well. I think I found these cameos and references in like 4-5 different games already.
I never typically write any reviews for this type of game, but up until episode 5 I believed I was just playing your typical, run-of-the-mill hentai visual novel. I can clearly see this is no longer the case. As cliché it may seem, I cried my eyes out when I read through Emma's backstory. I played many visual novels, indie or otherwise, and can kind of see through the tropes as they start to unravel, but even though I can see the story beats coming they still land exactly where they needed to be. It wasn't too long, nor too short, and it didn't feel totally insignificant to the present plot going forward as a lot of these "flashback" type of storytelling goes. There are elements I noticed you may have borrowed, such as the letters from her mother being taken Episode 10 of Violet Evergarden didn't seem forced and becoming a cheap gimmick to drive her character and fit just right to elevate the emotional weight of the story being told, which I have to say is more than I expected from an indie developer. I can clearly see the passion that the developer/writer has for fleshing out their characters and making them a lot more believable and human instead of forgettable fap material.
TL;DR: Kudos to you, NiiChan, for making me audibly sob to a hentai game.
to be honest this game gives me inspiration for one of my self written books. my MC is a successful businessman but his business is in his father's name and nobody knows my MC's face. only his secret identity: the golden knight. to the normal outside world he is a popular solo rock star and game streamer. but for the underworld he is a well known mafia boss and eventually he wants to take over the mafia from that witch. but first he is going to help emie in the background as the golden knight. like the idea?
hey NiiChan, I've bean trying to figure out how to get the locked scene with Aine, but I can't figure it out. is there actually a scene or is it just an empty space?
Wait? you didn't unlock it yet? maybe you missed something to aini routes🤔like me, the last scene of ski/sky, I didn't unlock it yet so that's why I'll play it again.
For some reason or another, i cannot save. the dreaded "An exception has occurred" page shows up. reading down the page revealed "
Exception: Not saved - no valid save locations". This is the second time I've downloaded this. I am just curious if anyone would know of a solution to this issue. Thank you in advance for anyone willing to help.
To be honest, I just finished playing it. At some points, I cried my eyes out because it got really emotional - I was personally related to some events in the game.
Beautiful writing - one of the few games where I see the characters as humans that I can sympathize with.
I dont know if you'll see this or not but I joined this platform just to tell you how much I love your story. And bless you for adding a solo Emma route, if I had the money I would pay for that entire route myself ( as it stands I dont even have enough disposable income to become a patreon supporter, but if I can in the future I will.) If I win the lotto I will definitely make a huge donation to you (yeah I know that doesn't mean much, but thats how much I love your story and content) I can't wait for an update on the Emma only route!
Love this game, replaying now after finishing it so many times already. I have an important question, please tell me if Hera is going to join the harem or not? Also, love the connections between this and LLC.
Well about that we can't be sure if hera will join in harem since she is antagonist but if niichan create another game between landlord mc,hera,klara past well let's see about 3rd or 4th well cuz all games by niichan is related in one story well you see landlord probably kei name like MBML &LCC name lol XD
I gotta say, I'm stuck in the track story arc with Lily, and I'm bored to tears. It just drags on and on. I'm all for developing characters, but this is ridiculous. It's just not interesting. I'm more into the mob family and reason why there's a long running beef between the families.
than you have not seen one of my stories mate. i write my own books and without knowing the first two/ three will you understand nothing about the next book. and most of the characters have a sad backstory.
The house drama I have no problems with. It’s all of the extra background stuff that frustrates me as it feels like this is supposed to take place after the other game, but the other game isn’t finished yet. It’s like if you tried watching Avengers: Endgame after only being able to watch half of Avengers: Infinity War. Every time the stuff with the landlady comes up I’m like, “Okay…these are…characters…” And start feeling an intense desire to skip through the dialogue.
I only recently made it to Lily's flashback track team story. So I don't know how it ends. But what makes you think at the end all the girls can still be with you?
NiiChan, you have done something amazing here. I only recently got into vn's and as it usually goes when I find a new thing I got completely absorbed in them lol. This is hands down the best and most emotionally gripping vn I've come across, right next to Summers Gone, but the intensity of the emotions in this one are on a whole other level. Really great story telling and structure, on a professional level even. Thanks for this, I can't wait to see where this goes.
yo, i seemingly want to know what background music they used in this game, its so much relaxing, not gonna lie, i like the taste. Either way, im lookin' forward for the future updates, im starting to love this game somewhat, hope this wont end that quick. Keep up the good work NiiChan!
This game touches my feelings. And you got me tears. And you make many characters . At first I was lost in naming Sky and Klara. But now I've seen the plot how it is going. Great job you must be really try hard to combine them. But could you help me? I play on Android version and I can't find SKY last Gallery and 4 Scenes. And hey! really thank you for songs. It really is perfect with the game.
Thank you for reply, so I can see now. But I can't unlock four Gallery Special Images between Emma in store buying Candi and Aine standing naked in room . I have been playing with walkthrough 3 times but I can't unlock those four images. I wrote in the first letter but I forgot to write Special Images but instead I wrote 4 Scenes. Sorry for taking your time. But can you help me? I really want to see those four special images.
Yeah i probably need help right now, i make sky cry cause she found me having relationships with gwen, i though it was harem, but now im like very confused. What do i do, help!! I know i can just come back a little and choose not to have sex with her that night, but it was bond to happen sooner or later, it is bad or good the fact that Sky accept the "harem" at this point?
If you saw that, you are on the right path. The game is a harem, but it doesn't mean the characters will accept it easily, nor I will make it easy for the players emotionally. That's the kind of writer I am.
Hi, what is the meaning of the question: Sky is your...? (roommate default) at the prologue, i mean i wrote "wife", i know it doesnt change anything but what is the purpose of the question? Edit: I closed the door and finish the game, urray for me. Easy Peasy.
I'm so angry! Chapter 5 sucker punched me and made me feel ALL of the feels and cry T_T. But in all seriousness, amazing game! So looking forward to more. Also love the transitions, 100% reminds me of anime transitions.
The eyes blinking is a little unnerving for me, I've never seen that in a VN before, that'll take some getting used to. Aside from that this game looks really good from what I've seen so far, but I'm still in the earlier stages.
Excellent piece of writing NiiChan. Although I've felt my share of frustration at how slow and passive the MC has been at times. But you're able to convey the essence of the characters with just a few lines. And the chapter with Emma's past ... damn that hit me in the feels. Fantastic piece of work all round. Can't wait for the next instalment.

I just saw the character, Moon. Didn't she make a cameo in Eternum, another game, as a gym teacher?
I believe it is. Not to mention MBML directly advertising Eternum in the latter chapters. Some of the creators are friends and acknowledge each others' works. One of em said so but I forgot who it is exactly. You can find cameos and references in other games as well. I think I found these cameos and references in like 4-5 different games already.
I had no idea they were friends and doing crossovers with each other until I saw the Dildo Man from Once in a Lifetime in Deviant Anomalies.
But other than that, and this Moon character, I still havent seen many crossovers. Then again, I've only tried about 20 AVNs. Only beat like 2.
[SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 5]
I never typically write any reviews for this type of game, but up until episode 5 I believed I was just playing your typical, run-of-the-mill hentai visual novel. I can clearly see this is no longer the case. As cliché it may seem, I cried my eyes out when I read through Emma's backstory. I played many visual novels, indie or otherwise, and can kind of see through the tropes as they start to unravel, but even though I can see the story beats coming they still land exactly where they needed to be.

hey niichan.
to be honest this game gives me inspiration for one of my self written books. my MC is a successful businessman but his business is in his father's name and nobody knows my MC's face. only his secret identity: the golden knight. to the normal outside world he is a popular solo rock star and game streamer. but for the underworld he is a well known mafia boss and eventually he wants to take over the mafia from that witch. but first he is going to help emie in the background as the golden knight. like the idea?
o and don't worry about my mc fucking everyone instead of kei. my MC already has the love of his life.
ugh this game is so good to the point that when I play the song “this side of paradise” it just reminds me of Emi’s backstory
am i the only one that thinks taht the MC looks a bit like daku from the anime my hero academia becauce of thet green hair? from zero to hero.
Whats the difference between chapter 1 and episode 7b?
Chapter 1 Ep1 is still in Beta only for Patreon subscribers. Current public release is Prologue Episode 7 which take places before Chapter 1.
I'm sorry, but I need explanation
I mean what's the different?
Hooray, an update! More power to you NiiChan. I will be eagerly waiting..hehe :3
Wait, should I delete it and download it again or update it ?
If I can update it, how? Because I'm using android
hey NiiChan, I've bean trying to figure out how to get the locked scene with Aine, but I can't figure it out. is there actually a scene or is it just an empty space?
Actually there is, it's the last scene you can unlock.
do you know how to unlock it?
Wait? you didn't unlock it yet? maybe you missed something to aini routes🤔like me, the last scene of ski/sky, I didn't unlock it yet so that's why I'll play it again.
I don't see any bugs related to her route. You may have missed something.
For some reason or another, i cannot save. the dreaded "An exception has occurred" page shows up. reading down the page revealed "
Exception: Not saved - no valid save locations". This is the second time I've downloaded this. I am just curious if anyone would know of a solution to this issue. Thank you in advance for anyone willing to help.

You loving the game is already enough support to boost my morale. Thanks for playing the game!
alternetive title: me and my fucked up world what my father gave to me.
Love this game, replaying now after finishing it so many times already. I have an important question, please tell me if Hera is going to join the harem or not? Also, love the connections between this and LLC.
I thought it wasn't a complete story yet
Oh, the story isnt over yet. I just want her to join lol
Well about that we can't be sure if hera will join in harem since she is antagonist but if niichan create another game between landlord mc,hera,klara past well let's see about 3rd or 4th well cuz all games by niichan is related in one story well you see landlord probably kei name like MBML &LCC name lol XD

nobody has a gun to ur head bud u dont have to play something u dont have the taste to enjoy
I like the game just not this long track team story. That's all. Before that I didn't have any complaints.
then move along.. we love this game!
Move along where? Isn't this the place to discuss the game?
Go into preferences, Select 'Skip Unseen Text', press tab and wait until it gets past the 'boring' bit. Continue
than you have not seen one of my stories mate. i write my own books and without knowing the first two/ three will you understand nothing about the next book. and most of the characters have a sad backstory.
in other words, get used to it.
I just want it to be more interesting than sports in highschool
I've been playing this for quite a while now.. I'm curious about the music of this game, where can I find these songs?
well most of the music are official no copyright music. So you can use Shazam and easily find them on Youtube.
i believe most of it is by ehrling, but u can search it up on youtube
Here's a link to the playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLquJNNo7wWsXxywhK0txvY5srVsFu2TQu

Is this a harem game? Or do you have to choose one girl and risk hurting the others?
Nevermind, definitely a harem, just takes some time for the girls to adjust. Gwen's definitely my favorite! Any clues on when the next update is?
I only recently made it to Lily's flashback track team story. So I don't know how it ends. But what makes you think at the end all the girls can still be with you?
Read the developer reply on a comment 18 days ago. He says himself it's a harem, the girls just don't accept it easily at first.
okay, fine with me. I only liked about 3 of them but I got no problem being good to all of them. If they are ok with a harem at the end, so be it.
NiiChan, you have done something amazing here. I only recently got into vn's and as it usually goes when I find a new thing I got completely absorbed in them lol.

its a guy called ehrling i believe. you can find his stuff on youtube, its awesome
How do we get Hera to join the harem? We can't leave her alone! ...And, Music, scene, story, perfect masterpiece!
Yhh i like this idea Niichan is she gonna join further down in the story
I doubt Hera is attracted to the main character after all the stuff they did to him.
This game touches my feelings. And you got me tears. And you make many characters . At first I was lost in naming Sky and Klara. But now I've seen the plot how it is going. Great job you must be really try hard to combine them. But could you help me? I play on Android version and I can't find SKY last Gallery and 4 Scenes. And hey! really thank you for songs. It really is perfect with the game.
In the 4th scene - just choose the other swimsuit. There's no difference in the outcome of the story.
Thank you for reply, so I can see now. But I can't unlock four Gallery Special Images between Emma in store buying Candi and Aine standing naked in room . I have been playing with walkthrough 3 times but I can't unlock those four images. I wrote in the first letter but I forgot to write Special Images but instead I wrote 4 Scenes. Sorry for taking your time. But can you help me? I really want to see those four special images.
which game comes first lmao
*Continues to wait for the rest of the game to kick that man's ass and make everyone feel safe.*
Yeah i probably need help right now, i make sky cry cause she found me having relationships with gwen, i though it was harem, but now im like very confused. What do i do, help!! I know i can just come back a little and choose not to have sex with her that night, but it was bond to happen sooner or later, it is bad or good the fact that Sky accept the "harem" at this point?
If you saw that, you are on the right path. The game is a harem, but it doesn't mean the characters will accept it easily, nor I will make it easy for the players emotionally. That's the kind of writer I am.
Yeah, i sensed the vibes at the last chapters, i liked so far and i ended the seven chapters in a row. Freaking enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it! XD
Hi, what is the meaning of the question: Sky is your...? (roommate default) at the prologue, i mean i wrote "wife", i know it doesnt change anything but what is the purpose of the question? Edit: I closed the door and finish the game, urray for me. Easy Peasy.
I'm so angry! Chapter 5 sucker punched me and made me feel ALL of the feels and cry T_T. But in all seriousness, amazing game! So looking forward to more. Also love the transitions, 100% reminds me of anime transitions.
The eyes blinking is a little unnerving for me, I've never seen that in a VN before, that'll take some getting used to. Aside from that this game looks really good from what I've seen so far, but I'm still in the earlier stages.
Feedbacks are always welcome! Feel free to drop anything for as long as you want. XD
came for the sexy time and got hit in the feels instead 10/10, now im waiting for the next update, good work so far ❤
I know it's a Harem focused game but are you going to give a solo ending? I'm more into solo ending type games🙂
Whaa this game…. I never expected it to tug at me like this I feel bad now for emy/Emma past it’s just soooo sad 😢
but regardless keep up the excellent work looking forward to the next updates
i love the game i cant wait for more plot
ITS TIME TO DUEL.
is it possible to get a possible harem ending here or I have to choose between girls.
It is a harem-focused game, yes.
Thank you. Gonna play this now.
I feel like this could be a movie and this game is an emotional rollercoaster
Excellent piece of writing NiiChan. Although I've felt my share of frustration at how slow and passive the MC has been at times. But you're able to convey the essence of the characters with just a few lines. And the chapter with Emma's past ... damn that hit me in the feels. Fantastic piece of work all round. Can't wait for the next instalment.
The MC is actually intended to have that kind of personality. You'll find him dense most of the time, but he gets things done anyway. XD
His type works best on these kinds of stories.
Hey niichan I've been wondering what is the title of the music you used on Emma/Emy birthday celebration scene when the mc and Emma/Emy got in
Trying to be okay by Daniel Pratt
Thank you so much
