Hey it's an American player here I just got known of this website for galgames by my Chinese friend and decided to post my reflction on my favourite visual novel, hope you guys like it :)
"eden*" is more than just a visual novel—it’s an emotional journey that lingers long after the credits roll. The story takes place on a planet facing its end, where humanity has pinned its hopes on the genetically engineered beings known as "Felix." Despite the looming sense of doom, the game doesn’t dwell solely on despair. Instead, it paints a world of haunting beauty, where fleeting moments like sunsets and the sway of grass in the wind create a fragile contrast to the underlying tragedy.
At the heart of the story is the relationship between Ryo and Sion. Ryo, a soldier tasked with guarding Sion, begins his journey with a sense of duty and detachment. Yet, as they share time together, their bond grows into something profound and deeply human. Sion, despite her engineered origin, embodies vulnerability and purity. She laughs, grieves, and dreams, reminding us of the essence of humanity in its simplest and most powerful form. Their connection transcends the barriers of their roles and origins, showcasing the raw power of trust and love.
The narrative doesn't merely explore survival in the face of extinction; it delves into the choices and sacrifices we make for love and purpose. Sion's ultimate decision reflects courage and freedom, a testament to the human spirit even in its most artificial forms. Meanwhile, Ryo’s steadfast presence embodies the quiet resilience of someone who finds meaning in the moments they share, however fleeting they might be.
"eden*" leaves you reflecting on how love and connection can illuminate even the darkest times. The game is a delicate blend of visual artistry and heartfelt storytelling. When the final scene fades and the music lingers, it’s not just a goodbye to the characters—it’s a gentle reminder of the beauty found in fleeting moments, and the depth of emotions that define us as human.
算是玩的最早的几部gal，一天时间推完然后一周没缓过来
推完之后，刚写完了一点碎碎念。尽管过去了一天导致记忆已经散乱，但是感觉依然被身体记住了。悲剧而自私的书写给两人的赞美诗。
怀念一下中二社
最喜欢的游戏，怀念一下
我游玩的第一个minori作品，第一个震撼到我的是eden的op，此前没听说过galgame里的op质量能达到这种程度（自入坑galgame后只玩过十到二十部作品），再者就是角色和氛围的塑造，整部游玩下来每个角色都让我记忆深刻，父母作为游击队队员，在榛名亮小的时候便离开了，随后逃出研究设施的夏目与男主相遇，逐渐成为亲姐弟般的家人，后续稻叶直人带走夏目，让亮感到不甘进而进入部队，希望能够再见夏目姐姐。经过数年的厮杀，亮从部队中脱颖而出，但也为自己浑身的污秽感到不堪，只想在战场上厮杀一辈子，无颜面对心里的那个姐姐。在此期间，深受警官父亲影响的拉维被亮在战场上果断和老练的身姿所吸引，和男主一起在设施执行任务，向亮袒露心声，后续也被亮救出诗音的行为所撼（“不会舍弃自身拥有的力量，因为已经知道该如何去使用它——为了爱上并守护他人”）。诗音对自由的向往，艾丽卡对约定的践行，榛名亮的对丢失之物的寻回，塔野真夜的传递， 稻叶直人的赎罪，他们都守住了最珍贵之物。总体来看我觉得是很优秀的一部作品，谢谢你们，诗音，榛名亮，拉维，艾丽卡，夏目，稻叶直人，塔野真夜。还有，谢谢你，minori.
写得太好了哥们
