Ohhh... What should I say? I'm left speechless after finishing the game...

In short: i would give this game something between 9-9.5/10

And here's why:

The only bad this game is: Voice Acting is not done in 100% (some dialogs are just sighs, instead of voicing all line) and for me some animations could've been done better.
And now the sweet part:
Characters: The are written perfectly. I really made some kind of bond with all characters but mostly with the character i had ending with. And I mean that i bonded with them as a player, human being, not as a character which I was playing.

Soundtrack: Very well done. Every time music was ideal for scene, no matter if it was middle of fight or just chill, funny time.

Story: Sometimes i didn't understand the logic behind story, because on first it seemed like no one knew about Lux and stuff and then a few moments later everyone knew everything. Apart from this I really enjoyed the story. Some could say it was a bit flat and not original and yes i had those thoughts once or twice during gameplay, but apart form this and overall I really enjoyed the whole story.

2D animations and arts: I'm sad, that there were only a few anime-like videos. As a weeb I would love to see a bit more of them. Also the arts were nice done. good coloring and all.

Overall feelings: Man, this was really good game. Sometimes tough, sometimes a bit repeatable, but very, very good. After first three hours or so, i wasn't concerned if this game is worth playing, but next time i sat to play it i saw on my steam, that mys session while playing this game was 298 min (5h basically) and then i knew that i was probably wrong earlier thinking that about this game ...

Right before i started last segment of the game I read that many people cried after the ending. "This cannot be that moving" - I said to myself. And then i finished the game. And I cried. I am not used to crying, but tears just kept on going and they didn't stop. The worst part is about this it was so frustrating for me. I am not a fan of bad endings but I also know that they can be very end to a certain story, such as this. I was hoping to the very last moment, that maybe, maybe I will somehow save my dear Yuna and we will leave happy life after that.

And yeah, after finishing the game i had a feeling like a tornado went through my head. Nothing was the same. After the credits stared I was just sitting in front of monitor, whit controller in hand and I was just staring at it. I couldn't move a muscle. But for me this is a sing of a very well written story, characters, overall - game/anime/book. I realy could just delete my memory and start it over again. I know when I had this kind of feelings the thing I just ended reading/watching/playing was a very good one. Maybe even perfect.

That will be it. If you are wondering if dating sim and kinda-souls-like game would be a good match, the after playing Eterknights i definitely say YES, IT CAN BE A VERY, VERY GOOD MATCH. It's definitely worth playing and I would recommend it to you.

P.S. If it happend to be, that the game author will read this, it's a bit shame, that you didn't add some kind of library to check how many 2D videos and arts player had unlocked. A feature from basically all VN's. I don't think it's hard to code and it would add to the game a bit. A small feature but imo needed.
