![]() I don’t know how he does it, but that man moans in a certain sex scene like he prepared his whole life to this moment and the result is absolutely glorious and beats anything I heard in any language. He also happens to -openly- enjoy Alex’s physical advances and the last couple CGs of his route made my heart melt.Ī special mention goes to Laurence, and more specifically Laurence’s voice actor, Nam Doh-hyeong. He somehow manages to make the best out of the situations Alex put him through while having to navigate his disability and how it affected his dreams, his future careers and others’ perception of him. In his route, Joshua displays a surprising amount of resourcefulness. I always had a weak spot for (seemingly) emotionless characters who had wounds to hide and many will probably relate to Joshua’s role as the unfavorite, unnoticed child. However the award for the best boy goes to Joshua. If I were to choose which character entertained me the most in Beyond Eden, I would choose Alex without hesitation. This is the biggest flaw of Beyond Eden, but thankfully doesn’t happen in all the routes. Edward especially falls victim to this, and he even comments on it during a bonus scene once you’ve completed every endings. Some characters are a bit too easy to forgive, or suddenly become more stupid or insensitive than usual to further Alex’ scheme. If I were to voice one complaint about Beyond Eden’s writing, it would be that at times, the characters’ actions or characterization are a bit too convenient and lose some of their credibility. In Beyond Eden, you are the Big Bad and you are invited to squeeze Alex’ villain potential for what it’s worth. ![]() As such, you never know where a path will take you, or what kind of information you will glean from it, either about the character’s route in question, Alex himself, or the overarching mystery behind Elisabeth’s death.Īs the main driving force behind the majority of the conflicts and incidents happening in the Edenic’s domain and through Alex’ actions and mode of reasoning, you, the player, are by extension given far more power than if you were to only react to some Big Bad’s scheme. Some characters get completely overwhelmed by Alex’s scheming and blackmail, while others will try to one-up him or try not to enter his game at all. One route contains only what you’d consider bad endings, another has “neutral” endings, and yet another is apparently set leaving things open to interpretation and have no proper ending. ![]() The choices are obvious enough that you know what to pick to get on a certain character’s path, and once Alex has chosen a victim to pick on, figuring out which choices are “good” or “bad” usually boil down to evil you want Alex to be: should he drive the Edenic brother further into the mess they already are in, or should he find himself helping them? Does he think Morris is a good man or a pitiful man?Īlex will top in a route, bottom in another and let you choose in a couple ones as well. In Beyond Eden, finding your way is a rather easy affair. They are still nice little touches that show how much love PiePlus poured into Beyond Eden. For me the most memorable use of it is a certain scene in Oscar’s route, when, upon entering Interactive Mode, you, the player, are actively participating in making the eldest Edenic son uncomfortable by gazing at his body inappropriate ways –even though he’s fully clothed.Īnother simple but neat little trick you may encounter during your playthrough is choices in the shape of two items or characters you can click rather than text choices.Īll in all, these little tricks are just fluff that could have instead been replaced with several more lines of writing or two plain text choices. ![]() By hovering over certain elements of an image, you can get a description and sometimes some additional lines of voice acting from the characters. The most prominent one is the “Interactive mode”, which appears in several scenes.
