Eden
Eden est une aventure et simulation sortie le 31 janvier 2015. Développé sur le moteur Unity, le titre se présente comme une énigme d'horreur surréaliste proposant des embranchements narratifs.
Concernant son accueil, le site Multiplayer.it a souligné l'aspect contemplatif de l'expérience, estimant qu'il suffit parfois de s'asseoir pour lire une histoire. Du côté des joueurs sur Metacritic, les retours mettent en avant la charge émotionnelle de l'œuvre : l'un d'eux évoque son premier « galgame » qui l'a fait pleurer, tandis qu'un autre établit un parallèle avec le style de Makoto Shinkai et mentionne l'existence de deux versions, l'une pour adultes et l'autre tout public, cette dernière étant qualifiée de « grande comme un premier amour ».

« My first galgame game, hahahahahaha, nothing much to say, it's the first game that made me cry. »
« I can feel it. Shinkai Makoto was there . It is pretty rare the game cut to 2versions .adult and full age content .the full age version is great like First love .althought I don't like this anymore . IT is too fiction . shinkai makoto's movies are popular among chinese young people .but the young seems mistake between love and sex desire .divorce rate from 20－25 young is about 40% recent year .they can't find love from marriage . so the fiction looks like scam .sex content version is **** .I don't think there was so many different between Ito makoto and Haruna ryou . eventually they have sex with every girl they met .I understand Japanese VN make sex content for selling . after Eden ,after shinkai makoto gone ,Minori's game are **** at all .by the way ,Tenmon and yanagi eiichiro,the music creators match shinkai makoto's style very comfort . it is pity they don't work together . »
« One of the most beautiful VN stories I know. Period. For me it's very rare to sit down and finish something in one big session. With this story, which took me about 16 hours, it was different. I listened to it/read it in one take, finishing it 5.a.m. All dialogues are narrated by very good Japanese voice actors. The text between, you have to read. The scenery is painted very beautifully and the characters are by no way stereotypical like in many Japanese vn's. Towards the end the story gets increasingly sad and has an emotionally devastating end that nevertheless also gives a shimmer of hopefulness. Depending on where you buy eden* also contains 4 bonus episodes meant to watch/listen after finishing the main story. Those take about 75 minutes each and contain tasteful porn (japan-censored) but still are cute stories staying in character within the frame of the main vn. I can't recommend it enough. »
« Yep, it's worth 10/10. Very solid visual novel. You have no choices, there is only story, which is read with erfect style and emotions by actors. Only story... But the quality of this story deserve for reading this VN. It's beutiful and heart-touching. Reading it takes me more than 11 hours, but I am lerning English, not using it everyday ;-) »
