Eldet Demo

Fantasy games tend to follow similar routes when it comes to story and the characters that are part of it, probably because it’s difficult to come up with something new after so many people took a stab at the fantasy genre. On the other hand, it only takes one small idea for something great to flourish, especially if the developers manage to build on it and create something at least a bit unique.

Eldet is an interactive visual novel with a fantasy theme and an emphasis on gay relationships, plus a few mature scenes that are not suitable for minors. However, the game is not about sex, because the background story is quite intriguing and complex. On top of that, you have the power to choose your own path over the course of the plot, as well as pursue one of the many possible love interests.

As such, you play the role of a young man by the name of Kunal, who attends the school of mages in the hopes that he will become one as well. However, it turns out that he may not have what it takes to be a mage, even if he comes from a family of gifted wizards. The events start to unfold when he is contacted by a mysterious man who offers him an even more mysterious job.

Every now and again the game faces you with a choice that affects the outcome of the story, and you are free to pick the desired route. Not only that, but you can also choose to romance one of multiple characters, as well as replay the experience in order to see the other routes and reach different endings. In short, there’s a decent amount of content in store for you.

As for the artwork, the designers managed to create a beautiful and believable world, one that does not adhere to any classic fantasy standard. Hence, even if you see elves and various other regular creatures, the environments and the settings are quite original. The music is pretty nice as well, and it actually goes very well with the action on the screen.

All things considered, Eldet is certainly a comprehensive visual novel, not to mention the fact that it touches on mature themes without going overboard. Hence, if you enjoy the demo and you would like to see more, you can support the developers by participating in the game’s Kickstarter campaign.
