In fact, it’s safe to say that everyone in Beyond Eden fits into this nebulous middle ground, where no one is completely to blame for the events of the past nor are they completely blameless. This is a story of revenge, so if you are looking for a sugary sweet rose colored romance, Beyond Eden is not the game for you.Īlex may be the “bad guy” in all of this, but the game does a great job of making him a sympathetic character overall by delving into the events that fuel his rage towards the Edenics. His arrival at Ashgrove isn’t a pleasant visit, he is on a mission to tear down every member of the Edenic family by any means necessary… and since this is a BL game you can imagine just how far Alex is willing to go to reach his goal. Most games will have you step into the shoes of the hero of the story, every now and again they’ll spice things up with an anti-hero or two, but in Beyond Eden, Alex Wake is most definitely the villain of the story. There are some similarities between A Hand in the Darkness and Beyond Eden they’re both set in the Victorian era and and funnily enough, both games have a protagonist named Alex… coincidence? However, that’s where the similarities end, Beyond Eden is a wholly different experience that is quite unlike any other game I have played before. 5 romantic partners & 1 friendship route.Alex Wake, the former ward of the Edenic family has been biding his time and amassing wealth of his own and now he is on his way back to Ashgrove in order to exact revenge against the Baron and his family! He has been holding a grudge for 10 long years and he won’t be satisfied until all the Edenics are brought to their knees. But, behind closed doors, the Edenic family is hiding dark secrets that could prove detrimental to the Baron and his family if the public were to learn of their past misdeeds. Beyond Eden was just what I needed. The game trades in the posh private school setting for an out of the way country estate of Ashgrove, home to the Baron William Edenic and his sons. I loved Ertal Games’s debut title A Hand in the Darkness, so I was excited to discover that another developer, Studio Pieplus had released a similar title back in 2017. Once again I am diving head first into another period drama BL visual novel.
