The game is not abandoned, as indicated both here and on any of the multiple sites linked above. Y'know. The ones with the updates on game progress. That are a simple click away.
If you only scrolled down a tiny bit, you'd see other comments (mine, explicitely) directing people who want updates to Discord. If you don't want to join the server, you could simply go to her Tumblr, which is on the links above, as @sadiemorgan indicated in their reply. Ahnna's latest Tumblr post was merely 10 days ago: https://underbliss.tumblr.com/post/188187138027/hello-checking-in-because-yes-of-course-its
You don't have to play this game, but I would ask you to stop spreading misinformation. The game is very much still in progress, in fact, very near completion, and the developer (it's only one woman who does all the writing, art and programming, btw) talks to the players on Discord every day and answers any question asked to her.
If you'd like to check the updates now or contact the author, please do so. Ahnna is a very polite and good-natured person and I'm sure she'd love to put your doubts to rest. If you want to ignore the game, that's your right, too, of course. However, I hope your 'blacklisting' doesn't imply badmouthing the developer or the game itself to the public. Now, that would be very unkind and certainly impolite. Please, refrain from doing so.
Holy SH1T this was such an amazing game, I can't wait for the next update! This game was recommended to me by another VN creator and I really did not think it'll be as amazing as it was. Now I just have to wait until January 31st :,))))
also, Vadeyn is such a pure-hearted boi I love him so much xx
January 31st is not the official release date! It might say so at the end of the demo, but there is no official ETA and there won't be. Ahnna will simply upload the complete game one of these "days". If you want more information, I recommend joining the Discord server :)
For anyone who might be worried: Ahnna's still working on it every day, she doesn't update much in social media lately because she's focusing on the game. If you want more detailed updates, though, you can hear from her on the Discord, so I recommend joining if no-updates make you nervous or something :)
I haven't been waiting as long as everyone else but surely don't mind joining! This game is amazing! I've told myself to just play it one time before waiting for the release and that was such a lie ...
I downloaded your demo last fall and have bookmarked your page so I can check your blog. I can't wait for you to release the whole thing, you're doing such an amazing job and it's SO worth the wait!
Hey! I know this last percent taking so long, I apologize! Still working! Might be a little while yet, but I'm doing all I can.
So touched that so many people have been enjoying EL--I'm so glad so many have enjoyed it. It amazes me, and I'm eager to give you guys the full game asap!
So excited for the release! But I have a question and I'm sorry if this comes off as a complaint. That's not my intention. Why is this last 1% taking so long?
Hey! I know it's taking so long and the last percent taking this long is especially obnoxious and disappointing. I miscalculated, (unsurprisingly I bet to those who have seen my missing release dates before), my own ability to work and how fast things would get done, but at the very least I promise I am working on EL. I apologize for this wait. <3
I've been along for a ride for so long, but really, its only a fraction of the time you've put into this masterpiece. Thank you for all your hard work. <3
-that one lurker that pops in up in discord from time to time to say good job. <3
I decided to go through the wiki and was really interested. I decided not to play the demo cuz I knew I would break my head on the suspense. Really looking forward to the full release!
I played the demo and now I'm completely intrigued. I wouldn't normally want to replay a demo but I'm enjoying seeing the consequences of different decisions too much. I'm glad it's nearly complete - good luck with that last 4%, nearly there!
I love this so much- I absolutely cannot wait for the full release! The concept is so entrancing, and I especially love Lacey. <3 Good luck in your final push!
94% Done! (you can check how far along the prodject is by going to her blog at www.underbliss.com of which I have checked in every other day since last January and can not express how happy I am that it's so close to completion, great work creator!)
Omg I LOVE THIS! The art is not my style at first, but the more I play, the more I find it beautiful~ Actually, from all of those screenshots, the one that caught my eyes and made me decide to play this game is the one with the monster crawling out from the crack. XD About the plot, I don't know how to feel about it yet but it's sure full of surprises and well written. :'3 Usually, I can predict the character's behavior quite good but not in this case it seems. ^^; Anyway, can't wait for the full release to court my baes! Hell, even if this game was commercial one, I would be gladly give my money to you. Keep up the good work! OvOb

The art in this game is beautiful, the story is creative and well written, I love the characters and the choice to change your character's clothing, hair, skin colour and personality is great.
I love the detail that's gone into the creation of this game and I cannot wait to enjoy it once it's finished.
I wish I could describe how amazing this game is. The artwork is beautiful, the characters are deep, the plot leaves me spinning. The added touch of being able to customize your character immerses me even further into the story, I feel like i'm actually in the moment trying to figure out how to survive in this strange world. What makes it even more shocking is that it's free. This game is a jewel and worth so much more. I can't wait for it to be completed just so I can play it over and over again.
In case anyone doesn't regularly check her blog, she is done with 77% of the game as of November 28th, 2018! I'm so excited for its completion and cannot wait to get back to enjoying this absolute gem! <3
Not 100% sure since it's been awhile since I played the demo, but I would say 15+. It has some suggestive stuff if I remember correctly, but nothing R rated
I love this demo! It's amazing, I'm very excited for this game. It's also nice to see how much you care for this project. I also don't mind that this game has passed a few of your deadlines. I can't even imagine doing something this brilliant all on my own and just knowing that, that's the boat your in makes it completely understandable.
I'm sorry I've not commented sooner, I'd known about it awhile now but never thought to post how wonderful a job you've done. I hope your not working yourself too hard and manage to get some time in for yourself.
Can't wait to see the entirety of what you've made. I know it's going to be fantastic! :)

Oh my gosh, you sound so toxic. If I were the creator of Ebon Lights, I would be happy that my game is in your blacklist :)
I love this game and can't wait for the update. I'm just curious, though, what game engine was used to create Ebon Light?
Ren'Py :)
Thank you!

been waiting for over a year but it seems totally worth it!!!! good luck completing the game :)
I haven't been waiting as long as everyone else but surely don't mind joining! This game is amazing! I've told myself to just play it one time before waiting for the release and that was such a lie ...
I've been waiting eagerly for almost a year so I can wait a little longer! This game is amazing and I'm so grateful for your work on it!!! :,-)
Lovee your game!
Keep up the good work! Your game is gorgeous, the writing is amazing, and I love how everything is so immersive. I'll be waiting patiently!

Interesting so far, can't wait for the full release. :3
This game is stunning and had me hooked from the first moments I started playing. Can't wait for release!
This game is very beautiful and unusual, I am very happy there will be a full release soon)))
Hey! I know this last percent taking so long, I apologize! Still working! Might be a little while yet, but I'm doing all I can.

We believe in you !

Hey, guys! It's January 6th and Ahnna has completed 88% of the game. Your nice comments are greatly appreciated <3
We are developing a Wikia for the game, so feel free to contribute or read it! https://reverie-ebon-light.fandom.com/wiki/Reverie:_Ebon_Light_Wiki
(Big thanks to @chaftoo who had the idea and is working hard to develop it!)
The art in this game is beautiful, the story is creative and well written, I love the characters and the choice to change your character's clothing, hair, skin colour and personality is great.

Recently stumbled upon this beautiful game and just wanted to thank you.
That's wonderful on so many levels.
P.S. Lacey one love ^_^
hahahhah yes, team lacey!

Me too, dont tell anyone I like nice guys. :3

I fall in love with this game. Ebon Light demo is absolutely amazing! So beautifully done. And I love the customizable MC.
Not 100% sure since it's been awhile since I played the demo, but I would say 15+. It has some suggestive stuff if I remember correctly, but nothing R rated
Thank you!
