Otome fans will love this game. The quality surpasses many other games of the same genre. The writing is polished (I noticed only a few typos), the art is nice (the colours give it such a calm yet mysterious nighttime feel), and the music is lovely and atmospheric.
For me, it was too otome, so I played through only Aedan's route. I prefer games where the romance takes the back seat and lets the story drive. I felt nothing really happened, except the romance, until the 5th or even the 6th day. And there was a bit too much blushing, tingling, sighing and flirting for me. But this is absolutely a matter of taste, and as I said, true otome fans can't go wrong with this one. :)
SPOILER Honestly, I thought it would have been amazing if Aedan had turned out to be the evil one instead of Night Queen. I'm weird like that, lol.
Thanks for leaving such a sweet review even though the game wasn't your cup of tea! I understand your position completely. Though I love lots of romance, I do usually like to write stories that are more plot-driven as well. For this project, we made the entire game in two months for otome jam, and the whole idea was conceived and an outline written up in the two weeks before the jam started. But as these things go, it did take on a life of its own! I had several exciting plot events I wanted to include, but it was a matter of time and assets, and so the story became more straight-forward. Maybe next time! Anyway, thank you for playing and, even though it isn't your speed, for giving us a recommendation! We really appreciate it! :)
Oh yeah, I forgot this was made for a jam! ... Which only makes it more impressive! I will definitely keep an eye on your projects. I'd love to see what you could do without the time constraints and with a more plot-driven story. :)
(I know exactly what you mean about writing a story and having it become 50,000 words longer and infinitely more complicated than expected, lol!)
Thank you! Hopefully someday something will crop up that will be more your speed. And yes, stories can really get out of hand sometimes - and it's been my experience that it's usually the best for my narrative, but never for my deadlines! :P
i really enjoy this game, the story and the characters (Aeden <3). I recommended this game and i hope we will have anothers chapters. For those who love faeries, vampires and werewolves, just try it !
We're so glad you enjoyed Evernight (Aeden <3)! I do hope to be able to expand upon this game someday, and I hope you'll enjoy it if and when we do. Thank you so much for playing and leaving us such kind words!
It is AS wonderful that I really want to "dispense you a coffee" ... but how? If I download the game I don't get the usual stuff like "name your price or get it for free".
Aww, thank you so much! That's so incredibly kind of you! I turned off donations because this was a group project made for otome jam. I didn't feel right accepting donations without sharing them with my team, but it seemed complicated to try. But I appreciate the sentiment and I'm so glad you loved Evernight so much that you'd want to buy us a coffee! <3
This story novel is so well done, have sutch beautiful artwork, is so hight standard that I would pay (no Abo please) some money to get a longer Story Novel like this. Especially: "Ever Night" does not drag you down, it comes even with a walkthrough. It makes you feel good!
I'm so flattered that you consider the quality so high! We truly tried out best to make it as good as we could! And I'm so glad that it made you feel good! I would love to have made it longer, and maybe sometime down the road there will be more stories to tell. :) I definitely plan to continue making games, and hopefully they will be enjoyable stories as well.
Each year as I explore the entries for Otome Jam I expect to find one (and sometimes, several) gems, and this is it for me.
The writing, the design, the romance and the lore, everything is amazing. I can feel the love and time that was put into it, thank you so much for your work!
I loved all 3 routes, with Aeden as my favorite. I'd be curious to know what is real name is :).
Best character goes to Astora. Her boldness, bravery and level-headedness is everything I love in a main character.
This has been added to my list of comfort games, thank you so much <3
Aw, this is such a huge compliment and I'm so happy! That this is the otome jam gem for you is truly an honor and we are all so grateful that you enjoyed it! I'm especially glad that you liked Astora so much. It can be tricky finding the right balance in an MC so that she stands on her on, isn't too polarizing, but also someone the player can connect with and feels they have agency with, so knowing that you rate her best character just really put a huge smile on my face. :) Thank you so much for playing and for your warm, kind comments!
I loved everything about this. The world-building and lore, writing, art, music... it all comes together seamlessly to form a deeply romantic story. I love the way the narrative varies enough to keep things interesting on each route and the romance builds believably with each of the LIs. You managed to tell a story about the fae while keeping it both wondrous and dark-- my favorite kind of faerie story.
Thank you so much for playing Evernight and especially for taking the time to leave us such super sweet comments! :) We are so happy you enjoyed your experience and that you found the world and the story satisfying. I also love my faerie stories to be dark and wondrous! This was my first time writing anything like it, though, so I'm really glad that it hit the mark for you! :)
AMAZING! Let me just say that I havent felt this way about a VN since Ebon light. I have played tons of VN's but this one just gives me those ebon light feels. Like you're in a whole other world! The world building is just superb in Evernight. It is immersive and makes you feel like you are literally living in another realm. I love the MC's relationships and interactions with the faeries. The three troublemakers were especially cute! The writing is so good and the story pulls you in at every turn! I could not stop reading and had to do all the routes one after the next with no break in between! The love interests were very unique and there were aspects of their personalities that I did not expect. They were not predictable at all and I loved that!
I played Dragan first. I adored his route. He was so stoic and had a lot of self control. Ever the gentleman but also fierce and beautiful. I love the connection that the MC had with him. It was great!
I did Aeden's route next. His route was unexpected and interesting. His personality was nothing like I thought it would be. I loved finding out about his story and the ending was just amazing, like a fairy tale indeed!
Lastly, I played Lucas's route. He was the kindest of all three and so considerate! Such a sweet and gentle personality for a werewolf. Funny and handsome! What a combo! I really enjoyed his route as well. In fact I enjoyed all three routes in the game. Its rare to find a VN where all the love interests are amazing and I cannot pick a favourite!
P.S. I love that they used Irish as Faerie language. :)
Aaahhhh, wow, I adore Ebon Light so, so much, so this is such a huge compliment for me! Thank you so much! We are all so thrilled that you enjoyed the game, and I'm honored that you loved the story and that it had such a pull and an impact for you. That you can't pick a favorite between all three routes is amazing and I'm so glad you enjoyed our game! :) Thank you for playing and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and sweet comment!
Well, the team and I had talked about coming back after we took a break (those two months were hectic!) to make a DLC, which would do exactly that: show Astora's life after. I can't guarantee a timeframe or make any promises, really, but I have loosely sketched out what each route would look like. :)
Yes! There's only two endings for each route, a good and a bad. In the downloads section, there is a guide that goes through the right choice to reach the good ending, and includes all the choices for extra lines. :)
This was so amazing, oh my goodness!!! >o< I hope everyone is talking about this and sharing it.~ So amazing and magical!!
I am excited to go back to replay other routes, but I kinda feel bad about it- I'm so attached to the story I got the first time. <3 Haha, I knew I should've saved the fae prince for last. ;)
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy you are enjoying the game! :) I completely understand your situation, though. There's always that one route that feels like your canon and playing the others is almost a betrayal! Still, I hope the others are at least entertaining and that you can continue to love the game and the characters! :)
It was for a jam so with many limitations but the story is great with many twists, almost like a thriller sometime, the art is more than pleasing on the eye and the possibility to cutomize our MC is really nice, and the characters are so engaging. I loved all the faeriess. Even the queen. Pix is my number one still, a certain dreamer advisor is also close.
To be able to make a completed game of such quality in a short period actually put the line very high for others participants. (You even made a mini guide, how cute is that ?!)
So... Who is ready for a little journey in the Night Realm ? Come on people !
Thank you thank you thank you! :) Your comment is so kind, it's really warmed my heart! We so appreciate you taking the time to share with us your thoughts, and we're over the moon that you enjoyed it! It was an intense couple of months but knowing that people are falling in love with the characters and the world makes it all worth it. Thank you so much for playing!
This is a gem! I've only played through one route (Lucas) so far, but still wanted to say how much I have enjoyed it and am looking forward to playing the others. Also, fearless Pix and that delightful trio stole my heart! <3 Thank you and well done!
Aww, it's so nice to hear that Pix and the trio captured your heart, and we're all so happy that you enjoyed Lucas' route! We hope you find the others just as fun. Thank you so much for playing and for your kind words! :)
At this point I'm just echoing the general consensus...but this game is just absolutely wonderful. I'm awed at how much hard work and thought went into Evernight! It is beyond entertaining and I am so happy I happened upon it!
Thank you so much! We are so happy you happened upon our game, too, that you gave it a chance, and that you enjoyed it! And thank you for stopping in to let us know. :) Every comment is so appreciated!
I'm struggling to find words. Like actual coherent words to create an intelligible sentence that explains how much I enjoyed this game. I only finished one of the routes (Lucas) and now I have to go to work and pretend I'm not screaming on the inside. Amazing work 😊
Thank you so, so much! Your kind words have really brightened up my day! :) We are so happy that you enjoyed the Lucas route and we hope you have fun with the others as well!
I love this game we can customize our MC, the premise of story is interesting, and the graphic is beautiful. This game is truly masterpiece I still wonder how come this game is free. Congrats on the release I have no complain the game is perfect and more perfect again u are really generous to provide a guide for us, u are lovely thanks for sharing this amazing game ☺💜❤
Everything is perfection! I love the world, the writing, the music and the art! The subtle changes for the sprites and adored Astora's outfits, especially the final ones in each route. The BG's were simple and beautiful in their own way too, with just enough detail to add to the story but not too much to detract from the sprites or what was happening. The guide was helpful too so thank you!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments! "Perfection" has us jumping for joy!! We so appreciate you playing our game and we're so happy that you enjoyed it!
the game was an absolute joy to play! I enjoyed all the routes though admittedly i am biased towards the Prince haha. The story was short yet sweet and full of amazing characters that i feel sad I could never meet again. I actually loved Astora quite a lot and enjoyed her wittiness and all the responses we can choose for her as well. The outfits of course were also stunning and I admittedly spent too much time admiring her every outfit.
All in all, I would definitely play this game again and would recommend it to friends for a good story and fun characters.
We're over the moon that you enjoyed the game! I'm really happy that you will miss the characters, and especially thrilled that you enjoyed Astora (and her outfits)! Thank you so much for playing and for your sweet comments!
Thank you so much! We're so glad you enjoyed it and fell in love with Aeden! That you want to know more about the universe makes my heart so full. :) I wanted to add in a compendium originally so anyone who was interested could learn more about the world but cut it to save time. Maybe someday I can add it back in there (or just create more games in this world, haha)!
I absolutely want to make more games in this world. I have already jotted down some ideas to explore the vampire lore, the witchwood, definitely more of the realms of Faery...
What an amazing game! I happened to find it just by scrolling on itch and I am so glad I did. This really mixes everything I have ever loved about otome. Truly incredible-- the art, the writing, the story. The characters were very lovable and I gladly played every route (although I am most partial to Aeden's story). I definitely recommend, and thank you for the team for your amazing effort making this awesome game.

Fascinating story from beginning to the end. The lore of the faerie world and their inhabitants is very interesting in this VN.
Thank you so much! :) We really appreciate you playing our game and stopping in to let us know what you thought!

Will there be a part two? A continuation of the MC's life after the whole ordeal? I can only hope!
