The year of the visual novel continues as The End of an Actress is available! The latest release by the legendary writer Ebi is up on Steam. Furthermore, you can grab it at a special 10% launch discount of $8.99. This may seem odd to you considering our previous release states this would have been a December release. To clarify, a few bumps on the production road force a two-month delay. Nevertheless, we finally have what I called one of the most anticipated English visual novels of the year. Experience a new tale based on the life of Marie Antoinette beautifully portrayed and written by the industry’s best today. Ebi released one of the best visual novels from last year, it’ll be exciting to see if she can reappear on the list with this entry. Congratulations to the team on the release!

Can you give me a rundown on what The End of an Actress is about?
The kingdom of Artoire was once a force to be reckoned with. Governed by a string of beloved kings, the nation was wealthy, its people prosperous. That was in the past, however. Now, Artoire’s fortunes are dwindling as constant wars and food shortages sweep the land. After innumerable hard years, the people of Artoire begin to despair. Fearing for the worst, they search for a messiah who can save them during their time of peril…
And that messiah comes in the form of a fourteen-year-old girl called Liliane.
Liliane is a beautiful, charming, elegant young lady from the foreign land of Charentes, born to the noble Saint-Coeurs. Betrothed to the future king of Artoire, Liliane ascends to the throne upon the death of the old monarch, to public approval and rapturous applause.
With the passing of time, however, the public opinion towards Liliane turns. It soon transpires that the new queen is vain and flighty, and she cares not one jot about the plight of the common people. The death toll continues to rise, new wars loom on the horizon, and despair swells.
Betrayed and helplessly hurt, a young man called Marius becomes a key player in a revolt that will shake the society of Artoire to its very core. Once a street urchin enamoured with the queen, and now a lead revolutionary, Marius is faced with a difficult decision. Can he really bring the queen he once adored to justice… or will his old feelings ruin all he has been working for?
