Eva has a world inside her head: the land of Astraela, where Darkness and Corrupted beasts threaten eternal doom. Vivid dreams have given her four books as an up-and-coming author, but when undead fiends appear on Earth for a killing spree, she is caught in the crossfire between dreams and reality.

These creatures shouldn't exist outside the pages of her books—and neither should Emrys, the fictional hero who slips in from the shadows to tell her that Astraela is facing its ultimate destruction. With little information and a lot at stake, the player must guide Eva's actions in order to decipher what's going on as reality crumbles around her.

I am obsessed with this game so far! The art is absolutely gorgeous and the writing is so immersive--literally some of the best storytelling I have read in a VN, it puts some books to SHAME. I am in LOVE with Emrys and as a Black woman, I really appreciate having a character like Bobbi in such a prominent role. The demo for Keepers of Astraela blew me away!! I cannot wait for the full game to come out and I've already thrown my  wallet at the KS campaign.
