Gin no Eclipse

About

Gin no Eclipse is a story-driven visual novel where players follow Arshile, a man with no memory of his past. After meeting a companion named Cartis and encountering a mysterious figure named Rodney, Arshile finds himself trapped in a palace on a remote island. The game unfolds through dialogue, branching choices, and narrative reveals as players piece together fragmented memories and uncover hidden truths about his abduction and identity. Set in a moody, atmospheric world, the game leans into slow-burn mystery and character-driven drama.
