Underbliss is a tiny little game studio, consisting of one person. For now.
I’m making story-based games, including visual novels. I’ve made one. For now.

My name is Ahnna! I started drawing when I was a teenager. I was making up stories with my friends, and those characters needed faces. It was all fun and games until it became a game. And here we are! I’m an awkward introvert who often, and horribly, takes wayyyyy too long to respond to some of the nicest feedback one could get. Thank you so much for checking out my projects!

If you’d like to get in contact, you can find me on the internet in the usual places or email me directly.

And if you’d like to chat about my games, see fanart, find fanfics, or meet some lovely people, check out our Discord!

    I honestly don’t know if you’re still reading this, but I just had to comment- even 3 years after the official release of this game, I’m still playing it for the trillionth time. I adore this game, and your artistic talent so much! Playing your game, reading the lore, the stories you build upon your characters, upon the world you created, inspires me to start writing again. You inspire me to create my own stories, write my own lores and characters. God knows I am no where near the level of writing prowess you have shown in your game, but I would like to attempt it regardless. Just wanted to let you know how much this game means to me! Additionally, I don’t know if you are making any games anymore, but I’m just letting you know that I will wait till I’m dead or dying for another one if you are making one!

    I have no words to express how amazing this game has been. Absolutely everything has enchanted me, from the characters, their personalities and their designs, to the depth of the story and all its twists and turns. I just want to thank you for this incredible artwork that has made me escape from reality to fully immerse myself in this fascinating world. With all my heart Congratulations Ahnna! keep it up. I will be waiting to see more of your works 🙂 (I´m sorry for my english. It isn´t my first language)

    • Christan Dillow says:

      I have played your game close to 10 times and Ernol has my heart I have been with all 5. At first Laceaga looked like the one but Ernol is definitely the one. Vadeyn may seem like the sensitive one but Ernol is so passionate once known. I hope that maybe you will add a DLC or a part 2, I would donate if I had but if I come into some I will I really want a part to or something. I wish for more conflict and jealously for I love a great stir.

  10. R.D. says:

    I want to echo what Marianna says about playing your game multiple times — I played Ebon Light before it was finished and followed it rabidly so I could finally get through it. I’ve fallen in love with the setting, artwork, characters, and storytelling over and over. This is one of those CYOA/Otome/VN games that I find myself going back to again and again; sometimes using guides, sometimes playing a new character and hoping roleplaying will guide me (I have died MANY times, but it’s always felt like an interesting part of the story instead of a “you lose” state).

    Thank you for making this game. I would love to subscribe to a Patreon if you have one. I would also love a voiced version of EL (but I understand if that takes too much!)

    Ultimately, again, thank you. Thank you for amazing work, fantastic storytelling, compelling characters, and breathtaking artwork, from the characters and MC to the backgrounds. Thank you!

  11. AmaJo says:

    Hey! Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your work! I replayed Ebon Light after a year and once again I had sooo much fun with it. I do not comment on games, but i thought i really need to make an exception here. Story and characters are simply amazing, the depth, progression and vesratility. I congratulate you (and kinda worship) on creating one of the very few MCs in this genre that I did not wish to punch in the face and found her reactions very appropriate and reasonable, just the right amount of emotion and no cheesy extremes(plus a possibility to play sarcastic character? i believe i already mentioned that i worship you xD). I absolutely love the creative decisions in this game as well, let us choose how our character looks like (yes i am superficial like that) i dont need epic CGs as long as i get my character with the right hair cut and soooo on point facial expressions. And the cherry on top, my very favorite character and love interest in visual novel gaming so far, Duliae, so nuanced and simply a perfection. Thank you so much for your work!

  12. Marianna says:

    Hello!!

    I just wanted to say that your game was really well made, with intriguing storytelling and beautiful art… in a nutshell, amazing!!
    I am not a fan of visual novels or otome games, but I found Ebon Light during research for an otome game that I could participate as a writer (unfortunately, the project developers pulled the plug very early) and I wanted to fully understand how these games and their stories are structured.
    I loved that it had customization of the main character and a good amount of mystery and darkness! I have played only one route but I will surely return to the game and try another one.
    Keep up the good work and keep writing exciting stories.

    Thank you very much,
    Marianna

  13. Megan says:

    Hello! I was wondering if to play the complete game I will have to start from the beginning or if the is away to keep my progress from my already started game (If that makes sense) BTW I love everything about this game. Amazing job! <3

  14. Fay says:

    Hi Ahnna! I only realized yesterday that EL is finally finished. I’d played the demo about a year ago, and it left a very big impression on me. I checked your Twitter for months, hoping that you’d one day announce the full game. I stopped checking when COVID hit, and was only reminded of it yesterday.

    But that means that I finally get to play!

    So far, I can tell that you put a lot of thought and effort into EL. I really can’t wait to try out different things in subsequent playthroughs. I just wanted to let you know that I’m thoroughly enjoying your work. I’ll be looking forward to future games from you 🙂

  15. Alice Vth says:

    *waves shyly* Hello! I just wanted to say that I love your game! I found it two years ago on itch.io and was blown away! You did such an amazing job! Not long ago I found out that you had completed the game and of course I had to update! When I played again I found myself gravitating towards Laceage with a side interest in Duliae… (Lol I guess I have a type?) Of all the options he (Lacey) just felt right to me, I recently finished a play through and I can’t wait to go back for another round. I love how you can customize your MC, I love the flow of your game, even though its been two years since I played, I was able to get back into it no problem. Your game is an obvious labor of love and I can’t wait to see what else you have on the horizon!

  16. Soley says:

    Your game was wonderful, I fell in love with it. You have amazing talent between the artwork, the plot, the writing — everything. I look forward to your next project, whatever it may be (:

  17. Kristin says:

    Hi! I just wanted to leave some love on your website. I fell in love with Reverie: Ebon Light. I’m a very picky reader and it’s one of the best visual novels I’ve read – no joke. I love your writing style and the characters you’ve crafted. I’m not even done with all the characters or choices and I already think so highly of it. I’m a 20 something reader so it’s hard to find stories that are mature enough for my taste. So again, thank you!

    P.S. I’m a writer and digi painter as well. Eventually I know I’m going to make my own visual novel as well – given the time. I love to paint environments and stuff. If you need help with your next game or if you ever want someone to collaborate with/bounce ideas off of I’d love to stay in contact!

    • Ahnna says:

      Hi Kristin <3 I'm sorry this took me so long to respond to, but thank you so so much for the comment <3 Oh my, if you do, I wish you success--it's a deceptively huge amount of work but they're very fun to see come together!
      I hope I get to see your works!

  18. Yjofna says:

    Hello,

    I just wanted to thank you for your beautiful work. Truely, what you gave us is a beautiful, bright and valuable creation. You are a dedicated and talented person. May everything nice find their way to you.

    With love,

  19. Jacky says:

    Hello Ahnna! I love your game so much, i cannot thank you enough. I hope you are doing well. I ended up loving all the characters, even Cali. they are all so fun! Thank you for the wonderful game. One question, what is the purple bar in-between the main characters name and the places,people, and lore tabs in the Compendium? Keep up the great work and stay hydrated ^^

    • Ahnna says:

      Hi Jacky! I’m so sorry it took me so long to get back to you and thus I’m not sure if this is something useful to you anymore, but in case it is;
      That is the compendium completion’s progress bar!
      I hope you are doing well, thank you!

  20. S says:

    Awesome game. Duliae ended up being my favorite, and I did not expect that. Romancing Lacey felt like romancing a Klingon and was hilarious. The side characters were good, and I loved Calipoa. Are you planning on making other games?

    • Ahnna says:

      Hi S! I’m so sorry that it took me so long to write back, MONTHS AND MONTHS later (ahh), but ahah Lacey the Klingon, eh? I am, yes, but nothing confirmed yet <3 I hope you're doing well!

  21. Bianca says:

    Hi! So, hm, I just finished playing the current ver of Ebon Light and I just HAD to reach out to you. iI just wanted to say thank you for putting so much effort into this game <3 the dialogues were so much fun and creative, and I was so surprised at how many OPTIONS I could go with concerning my character's personality. I really do aprecciate games that have character costumization and this game is deff it. I can't imagine how much work that must've taken, so I'm really grateful. Oh and I really love your artstyle btw! I've never seen anything like it before in visual novels games. Okay,sooo that's it. You're awesome! I'm following you on twitter now to keep track of more updates. Speaking about it, will the final game be paid? I really dont mind it cause damn, it1s damn worth it, but if so can you also realease your game on Steam? It's MUCH easier for me to pay things there !
    Well, byee, stay awesome!

    • Ahnna says:

      Hi Bianca! This is sooooo long after your comment and I’m so sorry for that, but if you still do see this please know it’s such a wonderful and appreciated comments, thank you so, so much! I hope you’re doing well <3
      I don't plan on putting it on Steam, no, at least not in the near future. EL was released for free on itch.io!

  22. Thayna says:

    Hello Ahnna! Thank you so much for the hard work you’re putting into the game and for not giving up on it. So, I want to ask something: Is there going to be a walkthrough? like a guide for the romance and for discovering secrets? Because, I played the demo again and in this second playthrough I didn’t get Duliae’s Ring in the bedroom, wich left me a little bit confused at what choices do I have to make to increase my tenacity or curiosity. Thanks again and greetings from Brazil!

    • Ahnna says:

      Hello! I’d be happy to put something together like that if there proves a need– I think, perhaps, it won’t be needed, so it’s something to look at after the game is FINALLLLLY done!
      I am glad you enjoyed it enough to play it again <3

  23. Rachel says:

    Hi Ahnna! Cannot wait for the full release. You have something special here! VNs going live late seems to be a common theme, so no sweat. Anticipation makes it that much sweeter (but absolutely excited to see the full game go live – the Demo was wonderful!) Take care of yourself, and looking forward to release!

  24. Alex says:

    Hi Ahnna, I just recently finished the demo for Ebon Light and I gotta say, I’m SO excited for the full version. I sometimes have a hard time sticking with VNs but I was fully entranced by EL. Keep up the fantastic work!

  25. Lea says:

    Hey Ahnna, I don’t even know how I discovered this gem, but I am really hyped about Ebon Light! Thank you for your effort, what you do is, plainly put, art. Greetings from Germany 🙂

  26. Ana says:

    Hello Ahnna!! Your game looks amazing so far!! I’ve played the demo so many times!! Haron is a babe!!! The games is almost ready and I am soo hyped!! Thank you for you effort!! Hugs from Brazil!!

  27. Rita says:

    Hello,
    My name is Rita and I just started playing VN recently. I just wanted to say that Ebon Light is definetly my FAVOURITE. The story, characters, plot… everything is promising and I love it ! Of course its also beautiful ^^ I just finished playing the demo yesterday and I am a little bit confused. I don’t want to be rude or anything but I’ve been searching for any possible date of release and all I saw was January 17th 2018. Is the game still in development ? How can I stay updated ?
    Thank you for your effort and for this amazing game 🙂

    • Ahnna says:

      Hello Rita! That was a failed release date I woefully didn’t meet, but it is still very much in development! I’m so sorry it took me so long to realize I had comments on here!
      The numbers I post are an update on percentage (toward 100) when we can expect it, you can also find information about it on tumblr, twitter
      , discord!
      Thank you for being so patient, I’m so glad you like EL!

  28. Ahnna says:

    Hello Yase! Thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate it. I do feel like I owe people apologies, if only because I made statements with dates that fell through over and over again. I am certainly learning to let go of that, learn what I can and move on, but I think an apology I still needed just so people realize I understand their potential frustration and/or disappointment. I’ll keep it in mind that maybe I go over the top on that, though. Thank you. This encouragement is amazing to me, much appreciated.

  29. Yasemin Güzel says:

    Hi Ahnna, I!m Yase and wanted to just get in contact with you. I hope you are doing ok! Please don’t overwork yourself. This game exists because you wanted to create it and you don’t owe any of us anything. I think you’re too kind which is actually great but somehow I think you are not that kind towards your own self. The game is really promising but it’s not a duty for you to create or complete it. I believe it is your hobby to create the game which is supposed to be fun for you. Please do not take any of our comments as arrogant. I do love the demo and am impatient for the full release but you are a human being with your own life and we all know how hard the life can get. You and your happiness are more important. Please do not keep apoligising. You haven’t done anything wrong.

    P.S: Though, again I’m impatient for the full game!
    With love,
    Yase
