I love this game! But I finished it sadly :( it would be cool if you could add a couple more characters and maybe a girl love interest ( just 1 ? ) not everyone likes guys but I imagine she would be very cute to date and maybe a mini game for when you’ve finished them all so the games not just sitting on your phone useless :)

Bought it on Nintendo switch

Bought it on Nintendo switch and loved it. Everything is better on console but glad they have it for tablets.

Great but needs some change

The storyline is awesome, the characters are awesome, so are the graphics, but there are two major problems. First of all, there are many translation errors, so some sentences are hard to understand. Also, the point system. to read a chapter, you need 40 points, but we receive 35 daily. We can only do surveys to gain more, and sometimes there aren’t enough surveys and they take a while to load back! You should put an ad system, where we could watch an add for a certain amount of points. Otherwise, it is a great game.

Love it!!

I personally love the game and the characters, and this is my second time replaying it so far. But I was thinking, why not introduce some characters as new love interests? You could even have an Olivia or Erika route, although I’m not entirely sure how that would work out. And I love playing this, but another neat idea would be to show some sort of an epilogue of MC and the chosen love interest in the future with like a child or something! 10/10

GREAT 💜♥️

This game is such a nice break from the whole ruby system in most otomes, it’s also a break from the dress ups in otomes too! It’s really nice and well set up it’s practically free! though I did pay a small fee to get through the story faster because I’m impatient 😅 it’s really nicely set up i love it <3

Hi! :))

Hello! I absolutely love this game . The music band the illustrations. I’ve only done nagis route but I’m also planing on doing the others .
Yea of course I know that I’m playing this game in 2021 but yeah .
The reason I rate this 4 stars even tho I would want to give a 5 is because some of the translations are incorrect 😅
And most of the episodes didn’t rllly have a ending or didn’t rlly add onto the story but I still really liked them .
Anyways bye bye

Erica route when????

The game is fantastic and all but I'm still upset best girl Erica has NO route. And if she ever does get a route, I'll hope it isn't a repeat of what happened with Jaehee in Mystic Messenger...

Needs more hype honestly really good game

Wish more people knew of this game

Heavy and Beautiful

Story: 8/5! Translation: 2/5.

STORY
The story is absolutely gorgeous as you read through the characters. The routes make your heart ache in a way that is rare in this happy-romances-only world because of the setting. The MC belongs in the lowest race— zombies. A lot of romance tropes are about marrying a rich person or one of higher status. But Ephemeral takes it in a completely different direction. It actually addresses all the hardships that comes with the lowest caste and with a high one— the discrimination, the bullying, deadly danger, and responsibility— in a real manner that clenches your heart.

CHARACTERS
The characters could not fit into their races better, which is especially true for Nagi, Ray, and Natsume. The fates they are subjected to because of their races also make their routes especially touching.
The MC is the naive type, yes. But she is that way because of her sheltered upbringing (and there’s a reason for this as well!).

TRANSLATION
If you are a stickler for proper English, you might not be able to bear with it. The Japanese to English translation is horrible. The mistakes are understandable, especially if you know an asian language, but they are everywhere. I finished the game and the English is only in a couple places completely incomprehensible, so I suggest that most of you give it a long hard try because the story is so worth it!

GAMEPLAY
This story can be played completely for free for the best ending you can get. You get 35 points per login and one point per video watched (optional). Unlocking each episode takes 40 points, but you can just login several days ans space out reading the story. I personally just logged in everyday and then binged. But if you can’t wait, it’s well worth your money to buy a character’s route or watch videos to support the developers.
Also, the CGs are gorgeous!

My only complaints are that one, you can’t read the other ending unless you go back and remake the choices to max the ending bar (but there is a handy skip button for your second read); two, the translation.

Note: Natsume’s route is DARK, although fittingly so. I recommend you read him last, or at least after reading Nagi or Ray.

VERDICT
If you want stories that makes you feel, this is the one.

I honestly don’t know how to earn the points besides paying and doing the actions

Can we just watch ads?

I like it but there are a few problems

It’s fun to play but the grammar is terrible and I want new routes. I would like a route for Olivia the most.

Stories??

I know all story’s must come to an end and I am really thankful for the lovers part addition❤️ but I’d like to know will there be one more part talking about the marriage and what happens in all of the ending situations of each story cause I’m really curious after finishing 2 characters plus the 😉“Mummy’s”😉lovers part I really want to know what happens next‼️‼️‼️also thank you for making such a WONDERFUL game❣️❣️❣️I really enjoyed playing it I’ve had it for so long and was soooo happy to see the addition to the story’s 😁the production team is amazing‼️‼️😄👍🏾keep up the good work

Love this game!

I love this game and the idea and story is awesome! I didn’t really get into relaxing otome a from this company till steam prison. But I truly think that these are some of the best storylines I’ve seen. So far I have only read natsumi’s season 1 and 2. I hope that one day there will be more.

EPHEMERAL

so overall, great game but i just bought the all the episodes of the romance part in shiba’s route and either one, idk how it works or two i got scammed. i tried reading the next chapter and it brings up the page that says you have to pay coins for the next chapter or buy it. im really upset right now so if you guys can, please contact me on how it’s suppose to work and if im doing it wrong bc i just spent $4 for this and it didn’t even work.

Transfer

I really really love this game, I have since I downloaded it a while back. It's beautiful and really enjoyable. Sure it may have grammatical and spelling errors, but that's not a major issue for me. What *is* an issue is that I can't transfer my data from one Apple device to another. I have no way of getting back all of what I'd done through the story, or even my 258 remaining points. I still have the old device, but it'd be better for me if I could play the game on this new one. Thanks

Loved it 🥺💛

It’s hard for me to try to find a good Otome game I didn’t have to pay money for! This is it but even though you can get coins without ads it’s still work I’m not going to lie. Though the story and characters make up for it. I found it really enjoyable and find myself coming back to it when I’m bored :)

Love the visual style, but awful translation

I truly love all the characters and the delicate style as if I’m reading comics that move and can be interacted with.
One thing I couldn’t stand is the TRANSLATION😩, I understand the original version is Japanese, but can you please find a better translator for the job?
ALMOST ALL THE DIALOGUES I HAVE TO SOME WHAT TRANSLATE THEM IN MY HEAD first to MAKE SENSE before I can move on reading the next line. 😩
ALSO, a lot of typos between lines. 😩
The words of choosing sometimes misleading me of what the characters really mean....... killing all the fun reading at this beautiful story. 😵

Steals money

I purchased the story for ray only to be charged twice and have the story not load at all. It keeps saying I bought it but it doesn’t exist yet money was taken

AMAZING

At first I was interested in one character. After I finished I tried another and another. Story well developed I loved it! Are there new characters coming ?

Amazing! I love it! Some fixes needed

I love this game. The plot is amazing and the characters are great. I love the fact that you can play the game without paying money. There is a point system where you can complete tasks and then with those points that you get, you can continue playing the game. (Tasks include things like taking surveys and reaching certain levels in different games.) My complaint with this is that I’m not always receiving my points that I’ve earned. This is quite frustrating aaa some of the tasks take a while to complete. It’s annoying to just waste my time like that. My other complaint is just that there are some typos and grammar issues. Still, overall, amazing game. I will definitely keep playing and recommend this game to others.
