When the Night Comes Game Review
Reviews can contain a few spoilers. Heavy, in-depth spoilers will have a warning. All opinions are my own and I have not been paid to do this review.
Dev Team - Lunaris Games Romance Routes - 6 individual and 2 polyamorous routes Rating - M17 Available On - Windows, Linux, Mac Price - $12.99
Overall Rating 5/5
Summary (retrieved from Lunaris Games website)
When The Night Comes is a queer, narrative-driven, supernatural visual novel originally released for free over a year from October 2018 - November 2019. When The Night Comes: The ReVamp is set to release in late Spring 2021 and will be a definitive version of the original game with a number of improvements, including voice acting and updated UI and artwork.
Play as a renowned Hunter; a creature slayer who has been called to the quiet, strange little town of Lunaris to assist the local Enforcers with an investigation into a series of unsettling and unexplained supernatural murders. Immerse yourself in the world of witches, vampires, demons and lycans as you slowly unravel the dark mystery that lies deep within the roots of the town.
The question is, are the creatures of the night the ones you should really be afraid of?
A story of finding a home and a family in the most unlikely of places, and a lesson in learning to bare your teeth at your maker.
Reaper Review
When the Night Comes was a game that I had no intention on loving. I was dipping my toes into playing dating sims/otomes on stream and I really liked the art style so I decided to play it and it was the best decision of my life.
The city of Lunaris is cursed by an unknown creature, leaving its citizens living in fear whenever night falls, especially every few days when the beast habitually hunts.
You play as a Hunter (fitting huh?), called in by the Lunaris Hunter team to help them put an end to the attacks. With customizable name and pronoun options, you’re slowly introduced to the main cast who are primarily all your romance options.
CAST (in order of appearance):
Ezra (VA - Adam Faison) He/Him : The local witch with kind eyes and a heart to match.
Finn (VA - Gideon Emery) He/Him : Vampire clan leader whose comments made me blush on more than one occasion.
Augustus (VA - Jonah Scott) They/Them : Major General of the Hunters and one of my all time favorite romances.
Piper (VA - Ione Butler) She/Her : Fellow Hunter with the cutest laugh and loyal to her comrades to a fault.
Alkar (VA - Jalen K. Cassell) He/Him : Resident mischievous Lycan who honestly shouldn’t have as bad of a reputation as he does.
Omen (VA - Chris Patton) He/Him : Cinnamon Bun of a demon who is too good for this world.
Throughout the game you meet side characters, work with the main cast, and investigate as much as you can about the creature that stalks the town. While it is an otome, the level of mystery in the game about the investigation and deaths is quite high and I found myself falling deeper into the story that when the big reveal came I was overcome with emotion. You find out just as much about the MC as you do about your companions and the mystery of the town.
One thing I appreciated was that there is no split between romance and story either, but rather the romances add to it, showing in their own ways how they grow to care about you and your wellbeing as the MC. The characters also have moments with each other, not just in the polyamory routes but in friendships and when you learn about their intricate backstories with one another. The banter between them all is on another level and I’m especially fond of the end of the game when all of the main cast come together in one big plan to find the beast and destroy it for good. Nothing annoys me more than being engrossed in a story only to be then thrown into lovey-dovey mode (and don’t get me wrong I love lovey-dovey mode).
Other things to note:
There is a festival scene which you can explore and spend time with your LI with a beautiful CG (a special full-screen static image) at the end of the moment that I just wanted to stay in forever.
Clear heart icon for dialogue options that are explicitly for romancing a character. So if you don’t want to romance anyone you can easily do it or on the other hand if you want to lock in a romance you don’t have to stress about what to say.
All of the best lines have voice acting however I’d say only about 75-80% of the game has voice acting. It’s a little annoying but only because I love the cast so much.
There are over 60 CGs and post-game mini stories (which I actually didn’t learn about the post-game stories until I was writing this…time to go play again!).
Of course bad endings are possible…but to be totally honest I’m too scared to play that route!
Lastly, my favorite part of the game would have to be the spicy scenes with your LI, if you so choose to pursue them. Without being visually explicit, you get to enjoy some sweet sweet spicy time with your favorite characters and this is where the voice acting is present a majority of the time if not completely. Now I love me some spice, but sometimes CGs can put me off from it. I prefer to imagine what’s going on rather than be shown AND if you’re trying to play sneakily, CGs are just a huge announcement to what you’re doing. The script is so well done that in my opinion CGs aren’t necessary.
This game has all of my love and I’d recommend it to anyone and everyone, so if you’re looking for a story with mystery and well developed characters I would say you’ve found it.
Purchase the game HERE.

🎁 Have a piece of a WIP you want to share?
Oh dear... You had me dig! I haven't written in a while ^^;
In any case, here's a WIP involving Iris, my OC for WTNC :)
Hope you like it!
********
The papers laid scattered in front of her.
Useless.
Iris groaned and sat back against the small sofa, brushing back the magenta locks from her forehead and tugging at them a little, hoping to relieve some of the pressure trapped inside her skull. The carefully pinned hair had dissolved into its usual unruly mess hours ago. She stared at the pile of papers, most of them covered with scribbles and random notes, written by both hers and Ezra's hands.
Hers and Ezra's.
Her hand strayed toward her ribs where the Creature had hit her. Ezra had healed her well, but she still felt a strange phantom pain. Like right now.
The Huntress stood up, now unable to sit still. The paper pile shook, sending flying some to land on the floor. It was suddenly too much. Flashes of her nightmares burst inside her mind. Her fight against the Creature. Her sudden insight of its nature. Jame's revelations.
She sighed. It was all too much to process. She had told the others of course. Told them everything.
Since then, Piper had vanished inside the forest and was rarely seen in town, while August... August tried to bury themselves under paperwork, trying, HOPING, to save anyone and everyone from Harry's plans. Iris wasn't really sure if they'd believed her but they were still making sure no risk was taken.
As for her... She had buried everything under the feeling of tender brushes against her scarred flesh, feverish kisses pressed against her skin, words of love and fervor whispered in the shell of her ear, and mesmerizing emerald eyes. It wasn't fair! SHE wasn't fair! She was well aware she was using him to hide from her fear and pain. Ezra deserved more than that.
Much more than someone like her.

Ezra x Hunter - Lightly Kissing a Bruise
Anonymous request: Love ur writing! Could I request a # 7 Lightly kissing on top of a freshly formed bruise for Hunter/Ezra please? Whenever you have the time thank you so much for putting requests out!
From the 50 Wordless Ways to Say “I Love You” prompt list.
Thank you for requesting! <3 i hope you like it and i'm so sorry it took so long, ive been very busy lately,,,,,
also thank you for 50 followers!! so sorry i’ve been mia for ages
**
You only briefly glanced at the ‘closed’ sign hanging on the door of the shop, sighing in relief, before hauling yourself inside. You pushed the door shut with your heel and leaned back against the wall - rugged breaths, aching body, and flushed cheeks from the biting wind outside.
“Ezra?” you gasped out, eyes darting from the counter to the shelves of goods. You heard some clattering and a hushed curse, finally looking over to the curtain which parted to reveal your lover. Ezra’s features pulled taut with worry, he rushed over to you to support you, walking you into the living room. You collapsed onto the sofa and your heavy limbs melded into the soft cushions as Ezra knelt in front of you.
He caressed your knee and you flinched. “Are you badly hurt?”
The way he gazed up at you - like he would drop everything he was doing just to take care of you… which he probably just did.
“I’m okay, just… tired. And a little sore.” your eyelids threatened to slip closed the second you stopped talking.
The witch let out a strained chuckle. “More like exhausted.” He reached up to press a soft kiss on your forehead and tugged at your clothes. “If you want to get healed then you’re going to need to take these off.”
You shifted, grunting painfully but forcing a laugh, and pushed the fabric off your shoulder. “Are you sure this isn’t just a way to get me into bed?”
Ezra scoffed and ignored your comment, getting to work. His fingers emitted a soft glow, swirls of turquoise and flecks of gold reflecting off your skin when he touched you. Now with your tattered shirt slipped off, his hands roamed over the purple-blooming bruises and shallow gashes littering your torso. It wasn't as bad as other times you came stumbling through his door at an ungodly hour of the morning, but it hurt like hell and your body was spent.
Slowly but surely, the burning of your cuts and marks of your battle ceased, sealed, and faded. Sighing with relief, you wrapped a soft woolen blanket around yourself, slouching and tipping your head back as Ezra made work of your trousers.
"Just what were you doing, my Hunter?" You smiled sheepishly and shrugged while Ezra ran his hands over your calves, returning mauve skin to its original colour. He leaned over a final bruise on your knee, staring up at you through dark lashes, emerald gaze twinkling in the candlelight.
"You know that I'll be here to help you whenever I can, but… I'm worried about you. You come home in the middle of the night, injured and exhausted. You're pushing yourself to the limit and it's breaking you - my magic can only do so much." For once, his voice was stern. Guilt weighed on your heart, realising how much sleep he must have lost over this - over you.
"Ezra, I didn't know you felt that way…" You brought his hands up to your face, lightly kissing his knuckles through your words. "I'm sorry. If I'm being honest, I don't like living this way, but crime rates and violence between species are getting worse lately. They’re sending out every Enforcer they can to keep it under control…” A single finger pushes gently on your lips to halt your words, and he smiles sweetly up at you, seeing you grow distressed with the politics of your job. You didn’t notice how tense your shoulders became, but they unravel and slump eventually.
“Alright, enough work talk. I want you to relax tonight.”
Ezra closed his eyes and tilted his head, letting his lips brush your knee, his warmth overpowering. You blink, the bruise has disappeared, and you feel suddenly rejuvenated. “However will I thank you for everything you do for me?” Sighing blissfully, you pet his thick locks, twirling his white strands between your fingers and nails massaging his scalp. Still on his knees, Ezra rests his head on your thigh and revels in the attention, and you can feel his breath fanning your leg.
“You don’t have to do anything for me; just stay safe enough to come back home at the end of the night.”

“Enforcer Trying To Cope With The Burden Of Being In Charge Of Two Riotous Idiots. Allegoria.”
This time I tried something very different, using this “draw the squad” base.
I had a lot of fun making August, Piper and my Hunter Aisling, from the game WTNC!
Also it’s my very first time EVER trying to put color on a drawing with a computer, so please be merciful, I know there are probably a lot of things that could have been done better. ^^; It took like forever, but I really enjoyed it so I probably will give a try to color again!

can i get sum hc for all the li’s for a hunter that’s really happy and childish all the time? like they’re super curious if everything and do things like sit on tables and skip places? like how they would react pls!
Awww, of course!🖤
The Main 6: Happy Hunter!
Ezra
It’s a breath of fresh air to see someone so bubbly in Lunaris.
Ezra is used to being the positive one, and it’s difficult when not everyone shares the same upbeat attitude.
So it was a real surprise for the new hunter to be so happy.
Your happy go lucky attitude bring Ezra so much joy.
He thinks your skipping is really cute.
He loves how interested you are in his work, and he’s happy to explain his practices to you.
You’re both rays of sunshine.
Finn
You’re something they’ve never seen before.
Your enthusiasm is like a light in his darkness.
He was almost afraid to get near you, to taint something so alive in his undead life.
He’d often find himself looking for you once the sun sets.
He gushes about you all the time to anyone who’ll listen (aka the main 6 + Edna)
“-and when they do this little skip it’s so adorable I don’t think I can handle it Meriman.”
“Finn, I’m truly happy for you ‘n all, but could you kindly stfu?”
August
A saint has arrived for Augustus Willheim.
Your liveliness has helped them feel more energized when they’re stressed.
Hearing you hum a peppy tune as you finger drum on their desk wasn’t something they thought they needed till now.
You’re curiosity in their work makes August feel more useful, and really just boost their self-esteem.
Piper always comments on how you’re both opposites, but you both couldn’t care less.
Opposites attract after all.
Piper
You make her patrols way more fun.
Piper is in need of a new heart, her old one exploded.
Rarely blushes, but a single laugh/giggle and she’s as red as Omen’s shirt.
Will make up a tune to get you to sing a made up song.
It doesn’t last long because she breaks from the ridiculous lyrics you make up.
You both team up with Finn to goof off in the taverns, and you’ve got stories to tell.
For some reason it always ends up with a dance party.
Omen
The blush is real with the flame prince.
He’s not used to such cuteness.
Save him, his heart is too full.
He has this adoring smile when he sees you goofin’ off with Alkar.
He tends to refrain from wrapping his tail around you when walking bc he doesn’t wanna restrain the pep in your step.
Seeing your genuine smile is something that sparks all kinds of emotions in him.
You make him feel like being himself is okay, and you really boost his confidence.
Alkar
Que the most protective wolf-man alive.
He wants nothing more than to protect that aura of positivity around you.
He’ll hug you, but give death stares to whoever gives you a borderline nasty look.
He’ll accompany you on patrol to lighten any possible stress the HQ may put on you.
He’s a sucker for corny dad jokes, but he rebukes that fact until-
“Hey alkar what do call a cow with no legs? Ground beef!”
He’s still pissed he fell out of his bar chair from laughing.
