Ohh, yeah a lot of people got into it thinking she's a romance option when she wasn't, I'm sorry :( Unless I'm misunderstanding, as to the first part of your comment, you can play without romance, though.
Oh, my mistake then. When I saw a list of male-only list of carac I could accompany for a romantic stroll after being spared, I jumped to the guns "still a hetero only thing where you have to date, rhhhhaaaaaa - while I made sure to insult all the guys since the beginning !".
I guess I'm so fed up with hetero romance that I may be a taaad too quick to dismiss all when I feel it's coming, sorry >_<
That's alright! Ahh, the romantic stroll after being spared, oh yes... yesss you are indeed forced to go with someone there, hmmmm. You can be, err, unpleasant/combative/uninterested during it, but yeah, it does get forced.
Dear Author, thank you so much for creating this visual novel! It's totally my new favourite :D
I admit, I'm in love! With the plot and the characters, and also the fact that this Visual Novel gives me a lot more flexibility than I'm used to (with personality). It's so amazing, and I will continue to support you!
I really love the game, however, I seem to have an issue saving. I am using the Mac os version on the itch.io app and whenever I try to save, it shows a screen that says "an exception has occurred." I wonder if Underbliss or anyone else knows how to help?
Really liking this so far. ^^ But I did get quite a few errors kinda late into Duliae's route (especially around the book section) due to outraged butter face. I'll try a different skin tone next route, but I thought you'd probably want to know? The writing is excellent tho
HUMM I took a look at the files and I couldn't find anything (though I know this is almost a month old at this point), but thank you for letting me know!
Iif this persists for you or anyone else, a screenshot of the error would be super helpful, but best I can figure something happened to that particular download of the texture, and redownloading it might fix, hmmm.
This game has the highest replay value of any game I have ever played and the best story. It is honestly perfect, and I love it. It's engaging, funny, clever, and just really satisfying to play. Characters are written incredibly well and change as the MC's personality changes. Please make another game.
Happy birthday to Ebon Light (well a little late but who gives a damn? XD). Such an amazing game and one year later I'm still in love with your universe. Cheers and I hope you'll keep on creating for us!
Such a good game. The art, the story, the LIs (there's usually at least 1-2 that are a hard pass but not this time)...this is awesome. Greatly recommend this game
Side note, the dagger that Ernol gives you...can you do anything with it? There's still so many items that I have no idea when they get used.
How do you save Chandler? I read that you need 4 grip to do it, but I have been unable to get 4 grip. Could you please help? It normally goes from 3 to haunt.
You don’t need 4 grip to save Chandler, as far as I know! You just need to keep him with you when you’re fighting the sea monster. If you send him away he dies.
I know that I just want to see what happens when you do use grip. I have resorted to trying to add it up, but I can't figure it out the only thing I can do is keep him there with MC.
I literally made an account so I can comment this:
I LOVE THIS GAME! EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS PERFECT.
The characters, the multiple storylines, the romances and story itself! I love Lacey!
I wish it never ended! I almost never replay a game but with this I just CAN'T STOP replaying! I really really hope we can see more games like this! Thank you!
Ebon Light remains one of the few games I can play over and over again and sporadically find myself returning to. You can tell that a great lot of effort and love went into making this. I'm looking forward to seeing more work from Underbliss!
This was truly a memorable game to play. Far better than I expected. Though I wasn't sure what I was expecting at first, whatever it was, if any, was far exceeded by the actual visual novel itself and the overall story it told. It's the kind of thing that sticks with you for some time afterward, and doesn't want to leave, so that's saying something. It also has a ton of replay value, for those who are wondering about that. Five romance options, all Gh'allion Elves of the dark isle the main character finds herself on.
I also love the lore that's been given. I noticed that on my second playthrough, more lore can be unlocked, and it will give a purple bar to show just how much has been revealed so far, so that is yet another reason why multiple playthroughs would be a must, if you want to know all there is to know about the game and the background of the world it takes place in. The music is sad and somber at times, as well as danger/anticipation-inducing, so that's yet another plus to add to the mix. With one of the endings, it made me shed a few tears due to its outcome, but it is by no means, the only ending the MC could have.
If I were to give a complaint, the only complaint I would have, and this is minor, is that the scroll bar to read the compendium is rather annoying to click on and move it up and down to read all the information. You have to click on just the right spot in order to get it to behave, which can be a nuisance at times. This also goes for the save/load menu. But again, compared to the story and the awesome experience this game gives, renders that a rather moot, and unimportant point overall. At the very least, it is greatly lessened, and hardly a damper on one's enjoyment.
I am on my third playthrough now, my first playthrough having lasted a couple days or so. Despite what it says about the visual novel only being a few hours long, it took me longer than "just a few hours". Which was nice, because if it was too short, I might feel a bit cheated. But I didn't. I anticipate at least a few more playthroughs of this wonderful game.
If you're looking for a wonderful, memorable, story-rich visual novel about facing hardships, dangers, the unknown and finding out the history about a people the MC had never known about before, much less had never met before the start of the game itself, as well as inter-species romance, this is most likely something you're going to want to download and see for yourself just what it's all about. I doubt you'll be disappointed, I certainly wasn't. Quite the opposite.
A bit more about the story told:
The MC starts off in the village of Edric, within the Burned Forest, having lived in a tiny hut with her aunt Vanya her entire life, her aunt having raised her since the MC became an orphan after her father died, and her mother also being dead. It doesn't take long for her life to change dramatically, in which she is then swept away on an "adventure". Whether she wanted to go or not, she had no choice but to go where fate, luck or chance would take her. The strange power inside her begins to make itself known over the course of the story, something that was thrust upon her due to an unfortunate incident that occurred towards the VN's start, one that would end up changing her life forever, in both good and bad ways.
Character Creation...
The player has six choices to make for the character herself. Name, hair style, hair color, eye color, skin color, and disposition. These will influence what your character looks like, what she is called by, and how the story will unfold, according to the different choices that are made. Or you can keep the default name of Alenca Goffil, and start playing right away, with no character screen changes. The age of the character stays the same, and is generally assumed she is a young adult or an adult, at least 18 years old, if not older. Whatever last name you choose for the MC, her aunt's last name will also reflect the surname choice of the female protagonist. You cannot change the race or the gender, the MC is meant to be a human female, and a peasant from a small, secluded, and out of the way village.
Conclusion...
Simply put, get it! I donated money to this, even though it was free, and even though I didn't know what I was really going to get at first, I personally think it deserves to have a DL price. My moderate donation wasn't enough, I don't think, for how great this game truly is. Definitely a favorite of mine now.
So, I just created a account on itch.io just to leave a comment here. It's just one of the most refreshing otome i've played since a while !
To be able to choose our MC, her interactions, the LIs (Lacey and Ernol <3), the differents plots, everything is cleverly designed, and so agreable to play/read. The art and musics are nice too. The timing, the writing, everything was made to immerse yourself in this novel.
I will now follow your future works, and will support you. I will also share this gem of a game, that you brought us.
Wow, just wow! I absolutely love this game! I love how players are given the option to choose MC's personality and how there are so many death ends should you choose the wrong options. It really teaches you to choose your words wisely, especially in dangerous situations. I also love the LIs, especially Vadeyn! He's my favourite <3 Definitely give this game a go if you are into dark fantasy romance genre~
To say this game is "great" is a mere understatement. It is cleverly thought out and does not get the credit it deserves.
The "player" has so many choices. What you choose does matter and there is a variety of routes and endings. Unlike previous visual novels I have played (*cough* being many), the player is greatly involved in this one.
You can design and choose a name for the MC (woohoo!). The music, the art, and -of course- the story itself all allowed me to immerse into the novel, which is very impressive. Characters did not feel rushed and were able to pique my interest.
I couldn't help but finish all routes and am very happy that I did. It is a game that left me wanting more, feeling sad that it had to come to an end. A very rare, but precious feeling coming from a VN.
SO GOOD !! wow:) this came recommended and i have to say it blew past my expectations it p much all aspects. It's clear how much time, thought and love went into this <3 thank you devs
I've played all the routes, and all the LI's and I absolutely love this game! The story and lore is captivating, and I'm finding myself wanting to know more about this interesting world. Though of course I have my favorite love interest (Lacey), I did enjoy playing through them all. I actually enjoyed it so much that I'm going back to replay, which I don't often do. I look forward to any future projects this creator works on, great work!
I just spent that past three days finishing every single route in the game and I'm still absolutely in love with this novel. I don't think I'll be able to look at a visual novel the same way again. I just wanted to know though... do Haron and Ernol's mother look like the Harpie in the second picture?
finished the game recently in progressive king's route, as i like to call sir haron, and i'm absolutely in love with it😔tho i must ask if there's gonna be more to the story in the future, since i was very curious to know more about the cutinah and other aspects of the plot. just wanted to thank everyone involved for this *bliss*, if you will.
This game makes me so happy! I just played it a second time and it never gets old. You're so talented. Your characters are amazing and the atmosphere of the game is the best. I can't help but get totally immersed in the universe of Ebon Light. I even made a sim of Lacey lol. He's my favorite. Thank you for this masterpiece and keep up the great work!
Everything about this game is amazing 100/10. This was so well done! Like I can't express it enough! This remains as one of my favorite games! And is mostly definitely in the top three!
I just finished my first play-through and thoroughly enjoyed it. This is an absolute gem of a game. The dialogue, the world-building, the LIs... everything is just *chef's kiss* and I genuinely cannot believe it's free. Well done!!!
(Also I picked Duliae first and he's just 10/10. The Onyx Chandler lives rent free in my head though we all know he could afford it)
Hi hi! Deleting the persistent progress like 'seen' text and unlocked outfits and codex entries? That should be doable by deleting your persistent data! Should be somewhere like:
Honestly, I've been avoiding playing this game since the second photo creeped me out and I don't do well with horror themes but I just finished my first playthrough with Vadeyn and ugh... the feels TT.TT I wish there were more romantic scenes with the LIs since Vadeyn's route is so sweet :(
*SPOILER* I wish we were able to see how Vadeyn interacted with MC's aunt in the end as well and honestly... I don't have the heart to stay at the island with the being :| maybe i'll try that option once I get the confidence to do that LOL
I was also hoping there were more fighting scenes and some sort of angst but that's okay! The plot is definitely unique and I loved how you created a stats page as well as a people, place, and lore section! There were also a good amount of customization and choices which you don't really see that much in VNs. I can't wait to finish the rest of the LIs and for your future works as well!! <3
Btw, where exactly is the second photo of the creepy creature located in the game?
Yes! As the helpful Seductive Cabbage said, if you choose not to hide or stay still when you're facing harpies in the cabin, you get that CG! I'm glad you decided to give it a shot! I've heard that comment before, that CG putting people off... hmmmm....
Thank you so much for playing it! And, thanks for the feedback!!
I just finished this game, let me tell you this is AMAZING. I love the art style its like a breath of fresh air, and it felt like my choices mattered. I love how my character wasn't a complete ditz and managed to stand up for herself at times (lol). I also loved that you included person of colour customization options (made me feel included haha xD) and that there was overall solid customization options included in the game. I can only imagine if you had a huge team of people what you would come up with. The world building and lore was just icing on the cake.
I just ugh,I am a very picky person about these types of games, I will delete if they can't capture my attention in the first few mins. But you have impressed me and left a good impression at that! I will be happy to support you in any future endeavors you have. Again great job with the storytelling and the art, just wish the dang game would have lasted longer lol.
UGHHHH ITS SO GOOD!!! For the first time in a while i felt as though my choices mattered (I actually hid under my desk when i had the MC enter the death ring). I have spent over 40 hours playing this game and my god am i sad to have finished it.. Thank you so much for making this game <3
Her tumblr page says she is working on something but is keeping it under wraps because she felt bad about people who had to wait a while on ebon light.
From her tumblr:
"I’ve had it asked a few times and indeed I am working on other ideas, but not direct EL sequels. Nothing confirmed, though, I’m a little gun shy of announcing things now ;)"
I honestly have no words to describe how amazing this game is!!!! The story, the characters, the art... It feels like being inside a fantasy book! Absolutely mesmerizing! The best visual novel I've ever played, really unique!
OK, so normally I wouldn't make a comment about a game, but sheesh this game exceeded all my expectations.
So I've played an embarrassing number of otome games and usually feel like the ones that I play in English don't have as much depth as they could, or they suffer in quality in some way. Maybe the story is good, but the art is meh, or maybe there just aren't many possibilities with the routes. But this game doesn't really trip up in all the ways I've come to expect, and you aren't even asking for anything but donations for it. I've honestly paid for games so much worse than this.
Obviously a lot of love went into making this. I am not easily impressed, but you've done it. You pulled off a game about hot elves and my eyes didn't roll even once. THAT is a feat. Thanks for sharing your work with us, and I really hope to see you do more in the future! Xx

I really felt left out when I saw I HAD to have romance, and with one of the guys. I really was looking forward for Calipoa instead, bummer :(
Ohh, yeah a lot of people got into it thinking she's a romance option when she wasn't, I'm sorry :(
Unless I'm misunderstanding, as to the first part of your comment, you can play without romance, though.
Oh, my mistake then. When I saw a list of male-only list of carac I could accompany for a romantic stroll after being spared, I jumped to the guns "still a hetero only thing where you have to date, rhhhhaaaaaa - while I made sure to insult all the guys since the beginning !".
I guess I'm so fed up with hetero romance that I may be a taaad too quick to dismiss all when I feel it's coming, sorry >_<
That's alright! Ahh, the romantic stroll after being spared, oh yes... yesss you are indeed forced to go with someone there, hmmmm. You can be, err, unpleasant/combative/uninterested during it, but yeah, it does get forced.
Dear Author, thank you so much for creating this visual novel! It's totally my new favourite :D

- A fan <3
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for your support!
Hi!
I really love the game, however, I seem to have an issue saving. I am using the Mac os version on the itch.io app and whenever I try to save, it shows a screen that says "an exception has occurred." I wonder if Underbliss or anyone else knows how to help?
Thanks!
OK! I think that I managed to solve the problem; I downloaded the game directly from the itch.io website instead of the app and I can save files now!
Anyways, this game is seriously amazing and I'm glad that I can now enjoy it to the fullest!
Thank you for posting your solution! And reporting the error! I'm glad you enjoyed it ( err, you know after fighting bugs I assume ahem )
Different face shapes would have been nice
Yes, I agree! Thank you for your feedback!
Wow this was amazing! I did not expect that amount of depth and detail! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am excited to play through again! Thank you!!! ❤
Really liking this so far. ^^ But I did get quite a few errors kinda late into Duliae's route (especially around the book section) due to outraged butter face. I'll try a different skin tone next route, but I thought you'd probably want to know? The writing is excellent tho
HUMM I took a look at the files and I couldn't find anything (though I know this is almost a month old at this point), but thank you for letting me know!
Iif this persists for you or anyone else, a screenshot of the error would be super helpful, but best I can figure something happened to that particular download of the texture, and redownloading it might fix, hmmm.
Thank you again!
This game has the highest replay value of any game I have ever played and the best story. It is honestly perfect, and I love it. It's engaging, funny, clever, and just really satisfying to play.

Side note, the dagger that Ernol gives you...can you do anything with it? There's still so many items that I have no idea when they get used.
OK after a lot of searching. I realize why I couldn't get the scene. It is Imere you can save with a plus 4 grip. Well I feel silly.
How do you save Chandler? I read that you need 4 grip to do it, but I have been unable to get 4 grip. Could you please help? It normally goes from 3 to haunt.
SPOILERS
You don’t need 4 grip to save Chandler, as far as I know! You just need to keep him with you when you’re fighting the sea monster. If you send him away he dies.

Thank you for this game ! m(＿＿)m
This has to be one the best visual novels I have played. Amazing story and so many choices! Love the twists and turns and worth playing
Wow, just wow! I absolutely love this game! I love how players are given the option to choose MC's personality and how there are so many death ends should you choose the wrong options. It really teaches you to choose your words wisely, especially in dangerous situations. I also love the LIs, especially Vadeyn!

In other words, download it!
Amazing game, interesting from both sides - plot and characters. I loved them so much. And cool art btw, it's really professional game.
Wait a dang minute is Cali the friend-with-benefits Duliae mentions???
*SPOILER (ish?)*
Ok ngl i thought it was skylar he was talking about.
I think it's none of those two. When Duliae talks about this special friend of his, you get a codex entry about a woman named Relikol.
SO GOOD !! wow:) this came recommended and i have to say it blew past my expectations it p much all aspects. It's clear how much time, thought and love went into this <3 thank you devs
Yeo Lacey is h i l a r i o u s I'm quite literally in love
I've played all the routes, and all the LI's and I absolutely love this game! The story and lore is captivating, and I'm finding myself wanting to know more about this interesting world.

I'm like 5 minutes in but this is already the most amazing VN i have ever played. thank you so much for making it!
This game makes me so happy! I just played it a second time and it never gets old. You're so talented. Your characters are amazing and the atmosphere of the game is the best.

(Also I picked Duliae first and he's just 10/10. The Onyx Chandler lives rent free in my head
though we all know he could afford it)I was wondering if there was anyway to completely start the game over again? Like starting it for the first time?
Hi hi!
Deleting the persistent progress like 'seen' text and unlocked outfits and codex entries?
That should be doable by deleting your persistent data! Should be somewhere like:
Windows: Appdata/RenPy/(Ebon Light)
Mac: Library/Renpy/(Ebon Light)
Linux:: Other~/.renpy/(Ebon Light)
I hope that helps!
After i deleted the persistent data i also had to delete the saved game data and then it worked beautifully! tyvm fantastic game
Honestly, I've been avoiding playing this game since the second photo creeped me out and I don't do well with horror themes but I just finished my first playthrough with Vadeyn and ugh... the feels TT.TT I wish there were more romantic scenes with the LIs since Vadeyn's route is so sweet :(
*SPOILER* I wish we were able to see how Vadeyn interacted with MC's aunt in the end as well and honestly... I don't have the heart to stay at the island with the being :| maybe i'll try that option once I get the confidence to do that LOL

There were also a good amount of customization and choices which you don't really see that much in VNs. I can't wait to finish the rest of the LIs and for your future works as well!! <3
Btw, where exactly is the second photo of the creepy creature located in the game?
It's the harpies in the cabin. You'll be able to see them if you choose not to hide or stay still.
Thank you <3
Yes! As the helpful Seductive Cabbage said, if you choose not to hide or stay still when you're facing harpies in the cabin, you get that CG! I'm glad you decided to give it a shot! I've heard that comment before, that CG putting people off... hmmmm....
Thank you so much for playing it! And, thanks for the feedback!!
I just finished this game, let me tell you this is AMAZING. I love the art style its like a breath of fresh air, and it felt like my choices mattered. I love how my character wasn't a complete ditz and managed to stand up for herself at times (lol). I also loved that you included person of colour customization options (made me feel included haha xD) and that there was overall solid customization options included in the game. I can only imagine if you had a huge team of people what you would come up with. The world building and lore was just icing on the cake.
I just ugh,I am a very picky person about these types of games, I will delete if they can't capture my attention in the first few mins. But you have impressed me and left a good impression at that! I will be happy to support you in any future endeavors you have. Again great job with the storytelling and the art, just wish the dang game would have lasted longer lol.
Also Lacy is best Boi lol. That snark is 100/15
Stay safe & please take care of yourself!

Are you currently working on anything?
Her tumblr page says she is working on something but is keeping it under wraps because she felt bad about people who had to wait a while on ebon light.
From her tumblr:
"I’ve had it asked a few times and indeed I am working on other ideas, but not direct EL sequels. Nothing confirmed, though, I’m a little gun shy of announcing things now ;)"
Thank you very much for the reply and info! I'm very excited but will be patient and understanding as I wait for the next work.
Ahhh thank youuuu! I want to have a (hopefully far better) plan for my next go at this!
Thank you so much for letting them know for me!! <3 <3
I honestly have no words to describe how amazing this game is!!!! The story, the characters, the art... It feels like being inside a fantasy book! Absolutely mesmerizing! The best visual novel I've ever played, really unique!
Ohhh, thank you so much!
OK, so normally I wouldn't make a comment about a game, but sheesh this game exceeded all my expectations.
So I've played an embarrassing number of otome games and usually feel like the ones that I play in English don't have as much depth as they could, or they suffer in quality in some way. Maybe the story is good, but the art is meh, or maybe there just aren't many possibilities with the routes. But this game doesn't really trip up in all the ways I've come to expect, and you aren't even asking for anything but donations for it. I've honestly paid for games so much worse than this.
Obviously a lot of love went into making this. I am not easily impressed, but you've done it. You pulled off a game about hot elves and my eyes didn't roll even once. THAT is a feat. Thanks for sharing your work with us, and I really hope to see you do more in the future! Xx
Thank you so, so much!
Ppfffff 'hot elves and eyes didn't roll even once' that compliment, ahh! <3
Thank you sooooo much for all the comments, I'm so glad so many of you enjoyed EL! Thank you so much for playing it!
