Our take on Earthshine
Rather than following a conventional visual-novel presentation, Earthshine places its non-linear story in a visual style the vendor identifies as atypical for the genre. Its compact structure also centers the journey and its choices instead of a longer, broader adventure format.
What is Earthshine?
Earthshine is a short narrative adventure about Talia and Inar, two travelers crossing a desert toward the Fields of Oblivion.
Legends say the fields hold flowers that can heal wounds, revive the dead, and grant immortality, though their existence remains unproven. The story follows the pair as they seek answers about their journey and relationship. Its plot is non-linear and centers on themes of love, fate, sacrifice, and difficult choices. A female protagonist leads the story through a magical setting influenced by legends from multiple nations. The game uses a visual style that differs from typical visual novels and offers approximately 1–2 hours of gameplay.
