DISCLAIMER: Currently only one main character is playable.

Evanescent Eclipse is a short story for the interact-if game jam.

✦ Story ✦

The moon is destined to line up with the sun and plunge the world into darkness, temporarily turning day into night.

Two babies are born at that moment, separated by space but connected by fate. One is a child of struggling farmers. The other one will live a lonely life in the forest. It's only a matter of time before they meet, before they bond. They'll share their happiness, and they'll find solace in each other's company.

It's a pity that the eclipse will not last long.

✦ Features ✦

✦ Two main characters. Play as one of them, and interact with the other. Customize them, and choose whether their relationship is platonic or romantic.

✦ You and them. Can you ignore everything around you in a favor of them? Can they do the same?

✦ Fate. Try to go against its tides or accept the unknown.

✦ Content warnings for possible themes of sickness and death.

wait is there more to the second life bc cliff hanger 

but i loved it ^^

I can't stop crying why did we have to die :(

this is so so so good i love it!!! reminds me of my bf and i a bit :] though that might just be because i made them after us- 5/5 stars !!!

Shiiiiiiiii... we died before he got back, didn/t we? ugh, my heart. thanks for this though. i shall wait with bated breath for the full release. ;3

Just started the story, but wanted to just point out some grammar mistakes! (Who are he? Do he live here? But he ignore it,)

This story was AMAZING! And I would love a part two to the game if it ever will be (or if one is ever planned). I loved the moon and the sun and my heart broke when they had to be separated. Looking forward to try out moons route once it is out! ^^

made me cry actual tears. 10/10, would recommend

I am sad yet happy

I LOVE THIS <3

Ahhh I just came across this and love it so much! Reminds me of this one book called Fallen...

Thank you!

And I never heard of this book! With a title like that, I would expect it to be more similar to my other project, but after reading the summary I can understand why EE reminded you of this book

Thank you for creating this. I have set my eyes on evanescent eeclipse since last month and I FINALLY managed to play this lovable story today. It was fantastic and heartwarming (◍•ᴗ•◍) I LOVE THE MOON and THE SUN too, they deserve happiness!!!

Ah! Thank you for playing and for your nice words! <3

I feel like there's more to be done to the story, not including adding The Moon path, until it's finished and\or I'm satisfied with it, but it makes me really happy to know that you enjoyed it!

💜 This was AMAZING. I really loved playing it! There are some grammar confusions ever now and then (i.e. some of the story mistakes a few of the pronouns), but it may just be a minor mix up with variables. I don't even know how to use them, I wish I did though. 😖 

Nonetheless, don't fret because I was able to understand it just fine and it's such a beautiful story. Thank you for making this! I really hope we get to play the moon's part soon, I can't wait! ✨

Thank you so much for this lovely comment! Although you're the first to tell me about mistakes with pronouns, I'm not surprised that there's something wrong with them (it would be a miracle if there were no pronouns errors...). I hope to fix this with the next update, though!

Thank you for playing and I hope you'll enjoy the moon's part (once it's out)~ <3
