The main theme is the end, end of  one’s life, end of the world, and how one face it. The game depicted this quite well, and what I liked particularly is the background, as it’s really detailed to the point of looking real, but still adequate for the character. It shows the world as beautiful it can be, but also conveys the atmosphere. I must warn that the rest of the post is just things I noticed, and is a spoilerish.

I usually don’t play visual novel, and I didn’t plan to do so for eden*.

I don’t speak japanese, but I can understand little bits in oral, and I was quite intrigued by the story. minori have great story in their game, so… here I’m playing one of these game.
