I’ve been playing Ephemeral - Fantasy on Dark on the side. It's a cute little game.☺️

So far, I played 2 stories of Shiba and 1 of Ray. It's funny what a vampire can do to a girl (me in this case).🥵💦

I finished Natsume’s route. It was an interesting story & the ending was good.😁 But the bad ending was really sad.😭

He’s the perfect example of a yandere. He’s so obsessed with Chloe.

Shiba’s route is done! He’s cute & handsome, but he’s so stupid.😆 And I prefer the first part of his story.

I just finished Nagi’s route. His story is so sad!!🥺😭😭😭😭 I think Nagi is the best choice for Chloe. They understand each other and experience something similar.

I saved the best for last!😁 Even if Ray can be rude sometimes, he’s the one who stole my heart in this game.🥰 He can be kind and caring too. I love my little vampire so much!!!❤️

There are some really hot scenes in his story.🥵💦 I even cried in some others because of Olivia. I hate her!! And I wasn’t expecting the ending of his route. OMG Ray! He’s ready to sacrifice 1000 years for Chloe.🥺😭

EPHEMERAL - Fantasy on Dark

This is another game I would play for free in high school. I had it on my phone, and it would let you do one chapter a day. I played all but one route, so on this replay as an adult only one story will be new.

As someone who’s always loved monsters, Halloween and things like that, this games whole vibe really drew me in. It’s a fun monster academy type game, and each of the routes are very different from each other since each love interest is so unique.

One thing that is a little frustrating, but sometimes leads to funny situations is the Main Character you play as is very dumb and sheltered. She picks up on nothing, is super oblivious, and sees nothing coming, even when you as a reader do. She’s also a zombie, which I think is pretty unique from games I’ve played.

Shiba

Shiba was the first route I did in high school and so I started with his again. I didn’t remember everything about this route, but as I played through a lot of it came back to me.

Shiba is so fun. He’s a tsundere werewolf, who’s super kind as well as being kind of dumb. The fact he’s dumb I think is actually a positive because as I said before, the main character is also dumb, so they are really just two idiots in love.

His route made me actually laugh a few times, and is genuinely so fun to play through. His first story I would say is more fun than the second story. The second story has some fun and funny parts, but other parts are so frustrating to read (at least for me).

Overall I love the dumb golden retriever werewolf boyfriend. Shiba is so fun, and his route is probably the best to start with (although there is no real play order).

Natsume

I didn’t play Natsume’s route in high school, so his is the only one for this game that was totally new to me. Although, I did know some stuff going in because my brother actually played his route when I showed him the game back then.

At first I wasn’t sure about Natsume. In most other routes I remember him being not very talkative and sometimes rude. But in his route it’s kind of a roller coaster. Full disclosure he is 100% a yandere, super possessive, super jealous, and he can be pretty mean towards the main character. He often belittles her and mocks her for being dumb (which to be fair she is, but that doesn’t make it right).

His main story is a very hot and cold relationship, where at times he’s super mean, and other times he’s super sweet, and there is little rhyme and reason to his behavior. His route also has way more monster race discrimination than was in Shiba’s route. Natsume’s route is also pretty dark when it comes to themes.

His second story I honestly liked way more than Shiba’s. It has so much interesting plot developments and big revelations. Plus Natsume, while still being a yandere, isn’t super mean to the main character so it was way more pleasant to read.

Overall, I wasn’t sure about him at first. But after finishing everything, I think I enjoyed the plot points and story way more in Natsume’s route than Shiba’s. It was so fun and interesting, and had less parts that made me frustrated or mad. But if you don’t like yandere or overly possessive love interests you probably will hate it, because that’s most of what his route is.

Ray

I’ve mentioned I’ve played Ray’s route before, but I can’t remember if he was the second or last I played in this game the first time. But I remember liking his route.

Ray is arrogant/egotistical and also very possessive. He often talks to the main character as something he owns rather than a person. He can also be quite cold and mean, he often calls the main character dumb, although he also admits the fact she’s dumb and therefore very obvious about her thoughts and feelings, is why he likes her so I don’t know. If you don’t like those traits you probably won’t like his route much. However, I’ve always had a thing for vampires, so obviously I’m going to love him, plus based on other characters I like, the possessive and slightly cold thing isn’t a dealbreaker for me.

As far as his first story goes, I’m unsure if he’s actually not that bad compared to Natsume or if I’m just biased because he’s a vampire. I want to lean into it’s not that bad. He’s not super mean, he just thinks way to highly of himself and is used to treating people as objects (which isn’t good, but because of his high rank many people gladly allowed this behavior). So it’s kind of understandable why he is the way he is. And I also think it’s pretty obvious when he starts to actually care about and love the main girl, even if he doesn’t always show it in the most conventional ways. His route is pretty good, with a little bit of the monster race politics playing into it.

His second story is pretty good too, although it is a tad frustrating. It deals a lot with doubt and insecurity which isn’t always the most fun. But he is clearly in love with the main character, and the ending is honestly my favorite vampire ending. I feel like it’s very different from other vampire romances, and the ending is so beautiful and unique in my opinion.

Overall, I don’t have as much to say, I really like his route but I’m not sure if it’s my favorite. I think I liked this route more when I was younger, but it was still enjoyable now. My love for vampires could be skewing my opinion though. But I think if you like vampires and want a unique vampire love story, and don’t mind a possessive and arrogant love interest, you’ll probably like it.

Nagi

Oh, sweet Nagi. He just might be my favorite, it’s hard because I love all of them uniquely, but Nagi I’d probably say is my favorite. He’s a sweet, shy, insecure, and emotional invisible man. He’s so sweet and his route feels very unique. He’s a good student, he’s so kind and caring to the main character, which is refreshing since he’s the only smart love interest that doesn’t belittle the main character for being dumb. He frequently helps her with school, and they both make each other better.

The main story is very sweet. They have good chemistry together, and I feel have the most open, honest, and venerable relationship out of all of them. This route does have some monster race discrimination as both invisible men and zombies are very low ranks. This route also addresses some of the overall big plot questions brought up in the prologue and other routes, similar to Natsume’s.

The second story is pretty cute, and is fairly different from the other three, as to not spoil too much, I’ll just say one thing that happens in the other three doesn’t at all in this one. The ending is also super sweet.

It’s hard not to love this route because I love Nagi, they have such a loving and healthy relationship for a monster romance, or heck even for an otome romance. Another reason I love Nagi’s route is his has the most scenes from his perspective, which I love it when we see from the love interest’s perspective. I also think his jealousy and possessiveness is the most normal and true to real life, so it is very sweet. I absolutely love him and his route so much!

Overall

As I’ve said, I have a soft spot for this game. It has the nostalgia factor for me, plus it has many tropes and things I absolutely love in any romance or otome. When I originally played it was on the phone and spaced out. But playing it now was the first time I played a otome game that wasn’t mobile. I played it on my switch and could binge it with full voice acting, music, and sound effects. It was such a new experience for me.

The voice acting was great, I love how many voices they had and everyone did such a great job too. Plus the music is so fun, it really puts you in a Halloween mood, so I feel it would be fun to play in October.

The world building and lore is also pretty great, the game sets a lot of things up, and each route is fairly different and answers different questions and such.

On the negative side, the translation to English wasn’t always correct, I never had a hard time reading or understanding it, but it’s definitely noticeable. It’s also fairly short, one story is 11 parts long, and you can finish it in one and a half hours. So with four routes and two stories per route that’s only around 12 hours of play time. I’m not saying this is bad, but it feels a lot shorter than other otome games I’ve played. Also sometimes the pacing is kind of all over the place, and doesn’t always flow well. This is probably because of how short the stories are.

But, all in all, I really liked playing this again. I know it’s not for everyone, I’ve seen other blogs only give it a 5/10 ranking, and I can see where they are coming from. But I think if you can get the game on sale, you should. I don’t think I could justify paying full price, but if you find a big sale (like I got it at 49% off) it’s worth it. Especially since it’s a pretty fun and quick otome game. I think it’s a good game for those who love monsters and want a fairly quick otome to play during the spooky season. I love it, and it will always have a little place in my heart.

NANAMI

You've played Ephemeral Fantasy on Dark? 🤡 I'm a clown for not noticing. Who's your favourite?

I played the game months ago to rant about it LOL

MY BESTO FRIENDOOOO💕💕💕💕

Yes, I did!! I actually played for maaany otome games (and even thought about making a new blog to write for a couple of them, just like for many manhwas I‘ve read👀😂)

My favorites are Shiba and Nagi💕 But I think that I liked Shiba‘s route a bit more than Nagi‘s difieklfls which one did you liked?!💕

I am so happy that you played it! So many haven‘t played it, even though it‘s a lovely game ;w;

[dreamtydraw]

hii, i haven't sent an ask in a long time so how are you?

im really busy with uni entrance exams but itll be over soon hopefully (╥﹏╥), any new hyperfixations?

also do u happen to play japanese otome games because i started to get into them, which is not good for my wallet at all ( ;´ - `;)

otome games will be the end of me... i see one and boom my money is GONE. their power is unmatched.

i hope you'll have a good day ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

Hiiii euhm.... anon ? I don't know who you are anon I'm so sorry, I need your anon name !!!

Good luck on uni entrance exams, I had to pass mine twice and hated every step to it ngl, wishing you'll do well and for everyone in that situation that you'll get accepted where you want to go !

I personnaly dislike japanese otome I'm sorry for the betrayal- It's just that i consumed TOO MANY JAP OTOME during my tweens recurent tropes with all same looking characters end up boring me ( and some issues see as normal makes me angry in jap otome type of games )

The only one I have in my heart is Ephemeral because Nagi's route was incredibly well written ( we don't talk about shiba on this tumblr- ) And also another one who's name I forgot about mc being an android getting rebuild and taken out by people who wants to buy her and influence the developement of her personality.

I am way more into amare games or indie otome that are queer friendly and usualy serve nice concepts for li.

BTW BEWARE OF THE GACHA ADDICTION !!!!! save your money !!! SAVE YOUR MONEEEEEEEEY !!!!!

Day 4 Werewolf

So if I got by games and not anime then my answer is below however if you include anime then Luke & Chris in Phantom In The Twilight are it. However since we are talking games then the hottie below hands down.

Shiba from Ephemeral Fantasy On Dark

[intomybubble]

something that bothers be about the otome ephemeral is this weird obsession with beauty. the mc is a zombie, where the species are beautiful when young but as they age their bodies rot until they become skeletons. many zombies kill themselves before they get to that point, like the mc’s parents.

going to this monster academy, everyone comments about how beautiful she is despite hearing shes a zombie due to all the rumors they hear about the species being ugly af. nagi comments about it all the time in a sorta envious way, natsume is an asshole about it, and the vampire dude wanted her in his harem despite her blood being gross. so far shiba is the only one who’s normal about it, but this is all based on me playing the demos

so like the mc says she doesn’t understand why other zombies decide to kill themselves and doesnt mind growing older despite becoming skeletal. but i mean i would think the process of becoming a skeleton would be traumatic? like you’re watching yourself slowly fall apart and rot? everything your used to about yourself will be gone. you’d probably having flies lay eggs in your flesh or have animals attack you for a meal. like they focus on the loss of beauty a lot but i think thats the least of their problems since this process could take years??

it doesn’t fucking help that in natsume’s route, the mummy guy, that when she sees the bandaged part of his face she FUCKING PASSES OUT and i think got close to puking?? like mc wtf?? if you’re reacting like this now, what’s going to happen to you when you inevitably rot away? it’s probably going to be worse in your case since mummies seem to only have rotting patches and are otherwise fine?

Día 13: Desnudo

A ver, yo no dibujo NSFW así que preferí ir por lo seguro y dibujar a Shiba en su forma de lobo ya que ahi no lleva ropa y creo que es valido que entra en categoría de desnudo... Sep. A mi siempre me pareció adorable en su forma de lobito, pero después de pensarlo mejor, ¿No era más lógico que Chiba fuera un lobo más adulto? Es que en su forma shibi me hacía pensar que era un niñito y eso arruinaba mi visión de esa ruta, así que, me decanto por un diseño más maduro para Shiba.

this is what shiba must have been thinking
