This game is absolutely amazing! Just finished Lacy’s route and god… love the banter with him and MC. I need more, dammit. Definitely going to try the others next once my heart settles down a bit 😂
AMÉ ésta novela visual, los personajes, la historia es tan intrigante, solo he completado una ruta, pero definitivamente quiero hacer 100% del juego, está muy bien diseñada, organizada, y el hecho de poder cambiarte y que eso afecte a los diálogos está muy bueno.
De verdad que quedé fascinada con este juego, no dormí en toda la noche para poder terminarlo y definitivamente valió cada segundo.
this is one of the best visual novels i have ever played. the story was intriguing, and each love interest was incredibly likeable. Each man was different enough to have a favorite but not too different that you feel overwhelmed trying to understand the lore. The choices gave me enough control of my personality without ruining the story, and I am thankful for that. I totally suggest it, I put like 17 hours in already and I'm going to replay every route now (though Ernol is easily my favorite.)
I loved the game, the style is cool and the storylines are interesting. I'll give a friendly feedback! Despite really enjoying the game, I wish there was more on the cuthintal and the person "attached" to it, maybe a route where the main character chooses to sympathize with it and both of them develop a closer relationship? Also, once you pick your "lover", they immediately become super in love with you and end up losing a part of their personalities initially like with "Lacey", I imagine he would have been more reserved about having feelings towards the "rabbit" instead of being too direct and demanding to get her to feel the same. Or "Vadeiyn" (I can't remember the spelling) feeling so attached to her that it's almost unbearable for him to think of losing her, making him irrational at times. It'd be cool to see him as this skillful guy who is able to fight when it's needed, despite preferring peace. He was my favorite person in the game, but in terms of story, the best route was with Ernol. He kinda kept acting the same, even after falling in love with her and you could actually get an ending where he was also happy with instead of them giving you the power to decide what they would do with their lives too. But other than that, this was a great work! I was waiting for a long time to play it because I saw the quality and the thought put into the story and characters, congrats on such a cool project and, hopefully, it isn't your last!!!
I love this game! I've become so immersed in the game because of the amazing and complex writing! I really can't wait for more! This game really inspired me a lot.
SPOILERS BELOW!!
Anyways, I don't know if I missed this detail or if it was said sometime in the story, it's been mentioned a lot of times that MC is half-human, is she half-human because of the cuthintal, if not what is her other half? It seems even MC doesn't mention it herself or cares about it too much. Maybe it's not that relevant to the story?
The truth is that I didn't think I'd like EL as much as I did, and boy, I was wrong! This game is so amazing that I played it several times to test almost all the routes and even understand more about the story and the characters - and the art is so different and unique, I like it. (Also I collect CGs for life lol)
So I've decided to leave a review of the routes I've played, it's been 3 days focusing only on this game so obviously I'm going to write it!
Duliae: My favorite man so far, he has a charm that can't be escaped, he's simply a captivating character, even sarcastic. I was focused on wanting Lacey until I was drawn like a moth to the flame when I saw Duliae. He's a fun guy to talk to, I just loved every dialogue and although I was a bit wary of him at first, he won me over easily. I recommend EVERYONE take the route of this mischievous and charming elf.
Laceaga: Our dear grumpy Lacey! He has that mysterious and dangerous aura that makes you want to know where it's going, try to deal with him, get close to him, and seeing him open up to the MC is the best thing ever. He starts off so closed off and full of rude answers, but it's such a fun dynamic and he's so HANDSOME, I can't handle him I swear. I think the ending I had with Lacey was the one I liked the most, (spoileeeeeeers) the way the proposal went and even the conversation about having children, it was so cute <3
Haron: So... this one left me in doubt. I doubted Haron's feelings A LOT, I thought he was so taken by the MC cuz of the "ghost" inside us, our new ability and all. BUT he only proved to me in the end to be a very obsessive guy lmaooo Haron has that yandere vibes, but not so much? Maybe he's just extremely caring and passionate and I'm being crazy about it, but dunno. And the way in the end he says he's loved the MC for so long makes it so weird, I keep thinking HOW LONG HARON FOR FUCK'S SAKE (but I like him hehe)
Ernol: Ernol is the famous slow burn and I kind of liked it even though I'm not the type who likes to take things so fast or so slow, but it just felt right when it came to him. That slow approach and the chemistry is clearly there, he starts by defending you to being in love on the level of being possessive, even paranoid, and threatening to kill anyone who threatens you and that's soooo attractive! Besides being a breath of fresh air, what a guy...
Anyway, I loved playing Ebon Light and I'm going to dream of a sequel cuz I feel there's still so much to be explored, and I've also become attached to so many characters that it's sad to say goodbye... But it was a great game, good work!
I WILL write a proper review when I finished all routes but I just wanted to gush in advance how much I'm in awe of this game!! I just literally finished my first route: Ernol, and my god I'm in love. I LOVE the writing in this game, the WORLDBUILDING, THE ATMOSPHERE, THE INTRIGUE, THE CHARACTERS, THE MUSIC, THE DIALOGUE-- Like all the other reviewers' have already pointed out, but I love how you can really shape our MC's personality to what we want, and it's so naturally written in the story and dialogues. Have I mentioned I loved the way this story was written? the dialogues? especially between MC and the leads?? chef's kiss love it!!
This game was so successful in dragging me into this world of theirs and being fully immersed. The tension, the high stakes, the overall danger-- so very gripping, and of course the romance is nothing to scoff at (granted I still only have Ernol as a reference point STILL he has stolen my heart).
Anyway, I'm glad I played this game. Now I'm off to rest and will continue the rest of the routes later v-v
Honestly this game is one in a million. You really can NOT find another game like this I mean if you can please do send me some recs my way. The way there is so many choices and you can change how you look. This game really gives off monochrome vibes and im here for it. I eat up this game every single time I come back and play it. This game continues to be my favorite on itchio and trust me I've been here for a year played probably 100 games off this site and still nothing continues to beat this game. I've only ever ran into one bug but where I had a hard time playing it because I could not save. But even then, the quality of the game that bug is and can be EASILY excused. PLEASE play this game.
Just like everybody else here, i keep coming back because this game has a special place in my heart. Among other things, the ability to TRULY SHAPED MC's personality is always a big win for me, no question or doubt. I emphasize once more: to truly shaped. I love that the personality is really depending on the player's choice. The way you write feel very, for the lack of word, freeing to the player.
I try to find something close to this, but nothing ever compared to it. Even until now or before this existed.
The Art is also gorgeous! (Though, it'll be helpful if there's a Gallery Menu to see the CGs we collected). And The BGM choice for every scene is well-placed, too.
Anyway, i loved how protective Haron and Vadeyn could be. I also loved how affectionate and fussy over MC's well-being they are :). And then there's Duliae. He gave off this Dangerous and Alluring vibes that i couldn't resist 😂
Just replayed the game because I can't find many otome that surpass this one. I just want to thank the devs for making this little treasure!
I loved that I was able to shape the personality of the protagonist and self-insert, that is so rare in a VN. And also, omg I loved Duliae! I loved how manipuative and dangerous he is but despite that, he seems to slowly fall in love with the MC for real! *sighs* I wish I could find more romance stories like this.
So thanks again! Everything about the game was perfect--although I'd love some more lenient death checks here and there. During a certain adventure at the sea, I had to tweak the code a bit to survive using the choices I liked lol. I don't mind the dangerous atmosphere at all, but it's a bit stressful to think that my MC could die so easily.

This will always be one of my favorite VNs. I've played every love interest's route through more than once, but Lacey and Ernol are my favorites.

Love it ~
My favorite is Ernol~ 💕

Best visual novel on itch.io . I really hope that author will make comeback with new game, i would even pay for it.
Anyone else have trouble with the file opening properly when trying to download and access via Steam Deck? Any help would be appreciated.
I will support any future projects you make. I love your art and the story is just chef's kiss. Thank you for making such a great game
