This review might contain spoiler but honestly? you should've played it by now lol


After a few months of waiting, All Scars and Starlight is finally released and has instantly become my favorite VN out of Yuelverse. It's closely related to Ashes (Saffy is making a comeback!) while offering alternative endings for Yuel and Tavi like Idleness and more. The story has more depth with a bit of politics and lots of emotional (and physical?) suffering.

I got 3 endings within 2-3 hours and spent some time savoring it. I found the worst ending so tragic yet beautifully written, mirroring Ashes. The less bad ending has a CG that almost made me tear up as it reminded me of the ending of Brokeback Mountain, while the 3rd ending is a decent, happier outcome.

Those 3 endings in that order, gave me so much satisfaction that I contemplated NOT looking for the last 2 endings. But I have faith in ebi-hime's VNs, so I powered through. I'm glad I did because the last 2 endings can only be found after finishing Act III, which is a significant amount of story on its own. That means if I had stopped at the first 3 endings, I would've missed half of its content, lol.

The last endings are satisfying as well, with one of them probably counting as a truly happy ending for Yuel and Tavi. Probably :)

The visuals are amazing and dramatic, 100% fitting the story. The few months of waiting and being anxious over the sneak peeks were WORTH IT. I feel like I finally understand why ebi hypes Yuel so much and why it's crucial to put him through so much stress, lol. Tyrant Yuel is the cutest <3

10/10 peak fiction, highly recommended. I wish this experience could last forever.
