I love it!! (≧∀≦) *2025-11-26* It’s soooooo good!! Erelynn is my waifu btw :3 ### 5/5 — Very Amazing! *2025-09-07, version 11* It's the best written and most beautiful visual novel I have ever seen in my life! ### 1/5 — wont load properly *2023-05-16, version 11* All 4 of these apps sadly crash to background after the intro song finishes. IPhone 7+ ### 5/5 — Favorite So Far *2022-07-01* I’ve read all of PixelFade’s VNs and this one is my favorite so far. They improve each time and I’m looking forward to the next one. One star taken off for it being a year since the last update even though it often crashes before you can get to the New Game screen (I have an M1 iPad Pro 11). Eventually, if you keep trying, it’ll get there and it hasn’t ever crashed for me beyond that point, but this should be a priority fix. I bet lots of people have requested a refund after trying a few times and being unlucky in getting past the crash. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2022-05-25, version 11* Pixelfade make by far the best visual novels on the App Store. No in game purchases, no ads and 10ish hours of content. Pixelfade I can’t wait for Project Astra. ### 5/5 — I’m sorry.. Risa???? *2022-04-06* I warmed up to Erilynn, though it was like pulling teeth at first, and it paid off. Kira was seemingly absent for a moment but basically cute the entire way through. But.. sorry… a Secret Risa love interest???? I was doing a painful no love route, and couldn’t believe how dense the MC was being towards Risa, but then I got the opportunity to acknowledge her feelings? I’m kinda blown away. ### 4/5 — Nice game, but….. *2021-10-26, version 11* No option to select gender of your character. It assumes I’ll be a male. That’s why I only game it 4 out of 5. ### 4/5 — Phenomenal *2021-06-28* This is another really good game from PixelFade. Only problem I had with it was that the MC felt a little less important compared to your other games. Other then that phenomenal as always! ### 3/5 — My game doesn’t open *2021-02-27* So I managed to begin playing this game and I really enjoy the story, however soon as it opens for some reason the app shuts down right before the start, load game menu. It began happening shortly after I first started playing. ### 5/5 — Get Story *2021-01-29* I enjoyed the game very much, takes a couple hrs to complete which is great, love the characters, and love the storyline which had a great ending this game is well worth 10 dollars! ## Frequently asked questions about Ethereal Enigma Visual Novel ### What is Ethereal Enigma about?
