About this game
Warning:
This game contains white screens and screens shakes that may make it unsuitable for people with photosensitive epilepsy or other photosensitive conditions. Player discretion is advised.
Eva has a world inside her head: the land of Astraela, where Darkness and Corrupted beasts threaten eternal doom. Vivid dreams have given her four books as an up-and-coming author, but when undead fiends appear on Earth for a killing spree, she is caught in the crossfire between dreams and reality.
These creatures shouldn't exist outside the pages of her books—and neither should Emrys, the fictional hero who slips in from the shadows to tell her that Astraela is facing its ultimate destruction. With the fate of her own world at risk, and her main character's life being drained by an age-old curse, the player must guide Eva's actions in order to protect the people she cares about and avoid the total destruction of all she holds dear.
150,000+ word count based on well-loved fantasy novel 'Vision' by Wrenna Stone
8 different endings (1 Good, 1 True, 2 Neutral, 4 Bad)
11 character sprites including both Earthen characters and other more fantastical
1 male love interest who can’t stop setting things on fire
1 female love interest who’s the best friend a girl could ask for (full route coming soon)
Dozens of high-quality background art that explores the quaint streets of Havenwood as well as the fantasy world of Astraela
Choices that affect Eva's inner Darkness and her relationships with other characters in addition to choices that affect the storyline or are simply for fun
4 CGs to help bring the action, paranormal, and romance elements to life
…and one seriously messed up squirrel
Note: All character sprites and CGs were commissioned from human artists who state AI was not used.
Bobbi's Route Will Be Added to the Base Game in 2025!
⬥ Eva, The Protagonist ⬥ "I'll drink motor oil if you add enough dirty beans to it."
An "ordinary" assistant librarian, Eva has crafted a series of self-published fantasy novels from years' worth of vivid dreams. Much to her surprise, all of her dreams are real and happening in another world--and, according to her main character, she has gotten many facts wrong.
⬥ Emrys, the Male LI ⬥ "Humans are pretty useless. No offense."
The legendary Phoenix, Emrys' powers far exceed that of the average Blessed. Even in a weakened state, the Phoenix is one of few creatures strong enough to create rifts in the Barrier between realms.
⬥ Bobbi, the Female LI ⬥ "If this night gets any weirder, the Winchesters are going to break down my door. "
Owner of Ambrosia's Brew and Eva's best friend, Bobbi has her hands full when Earth meets Astraela--from controlling Eva's "sleepwalking" to keeping the local Phoenix from exploding the last of her kitchen appliances. She can always be counted on to keep her head in any situation, even when it means standing up to Demonic entities.

All Sprite Art is Updated + Preview for Bobbi's Route!
Hello everyone! Wrenna, Royan, and I have been hard at work to bring you more Keepers content. There's a part 2 coming soon but I wanted to share what we have so far. Build 1.1 Changes: - All 11 sprites have gotten a glow-up! - Sneak peek for Bobbi's route is coded in! - The conversion between Emrys and Eva if she convince him to stay at the Sanctum while Mystia is away has been greatly enhance. It allows Eva time to process recent events. (Emrys' Route) - Choices for Emrys now track affection points! Have too few, and things may go sour when the Eva and Em are alone at the hot springs (Emrys' Route) - 1 new Bobbi CG! (Common Route) - The content warnings for the game have been adjusted to reflect concerns from a review; I also set some of the more spoiler-y achievements to hidden - Minor bug fix Regarding the sprite art: Royan and I heard your feedback about things looking uneven and a little AI-like and we feel confident we've addressed your concerns. The consistency has been greatly approved; everyone now matches the grittier aspects of the story. Royan has also made sure to include more visible brushstrokes and enhanced some facial features to be more expressive. He also has had time to redo some of the things I sloppily pieced together to save time - namely the outfit changes for Emrys and Jensen. Big thank you to Royan! Here are some screenshots of the new cast: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44238882/25e94149d5fa439c50d8e62f0054e08c58c9de3c.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44238882/ee7900fa7793dd6ed5fb53286b2129559c28bb7c.png With Bobbi's route, I still hope to release the full version within the next few weeks! We had some delays but I was able to get the first couple of chapters into this update. There is now a big choice about a third of the way through the story - whether to go to Astraela with Emrys or stay on Earth with Bobbi! Here's the new CG of Bobbi we've added in: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44238882/39b2c5a2edf9cfd96ae88f5abf9de3d37afe4bdf.png Another big thank you to everyone ...Read full article on Community Announcements (ArkAngel)Patch NotesOfficial
