Eldarya is an online visual novel created by Beemoov. First launched on December 16th, 2014 in French, it has since branched out to other languages. Taking place in a fantasy world, the player character (often referred to as Erika) has the ability to encounter many other characters, take care of their own companion, and much more.

Pre-launch

Before the US English version of the site was made public, the site showed some of the content that players could look forward to; companions, various lands that they could visit, character customization, some of the inhabitants of Eldarya, and much more.

The site was finally opened to the public on September 12th, 2016.

Plot

See also: Episode List

The story starts with Erika taking a walk in a forest near her home. She's worried about what will come next once she is finished her studies and this particular forest was always a lovely escape from the world.

After wondering around for a bit, she finds a spot of newly grown grass surrounded by a circle of white mushrooms, something that she does not think she has ever seen in the area before. Upon stepping into the circle, she is surrounded by a bunch of brilliant white lights, making her close her eyes. When she opens them she finds herself in a room that has a gigantic blue crystal in the middle of it.

Confused yet entranced, she goes to touch it only to be interrupted by a black-haired woman with four fox tails and a creature with a face that resembles a warthogs. The woman orders the creature to seize Erika and throw her in a cell.

As the game goes on, Erika meets a variety of different characters and learns about the world she was sent to.

The panoramic locations have a translucent semi-oval that appears on the far left or far right of the game's screen. Hovering over the semi-oval will make that location's scenery move and reveal new location points.

Dialogue Choices
