Where Eternity Sleeps
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux




You are the kingdom’s brightest scholar— sharp of mind, relentless in your pursuit of truth, and sworn by oath to serve the Crown. Your word carries weight in court, your counsel sought in matters both arcane and political. For your unmatched intellect, you have been granted the title Seeker of Truths.
Now, something beyond reason is unfolding across the land. People are vanishing— entire households gone overnight, their homes left perfectly intact. Meals sit untouched, chairs are pulled out, yet no footprints mark the dusty floors.
One by one, they simply disappear.
The young King grows increasingly anxious, fearing enemies hidden within his walls and shadows creeping into his court. With trusted men lost and options dwindling, he sees only one path to safety.
he turns to you with a desperate request: uncover the secrets of immortality.
But as your search begins, a presence stirs— unseen, ancient, and already watching. Long before you looked for it… it had already found you.


- Chapter 1 - Demo Available:
Step into the world of Wendral with the free Chapter 1 demo. Navigate a kingdom full of tension, mystery, and uncertainty.
Your choices will guide you down one of Three branching end routes, each with its own outcome.
- Choices That Matter:
Every decision you make shapes the story, your relationships, and the fate of those around you. Your choices will have lasting consequences and can lead to unexpected outcomes.
- 2 Love Interests:
Meet two intriguing love interests, each with their own unique personality and secrets.
Note: Both love interests are yandere in nature. Player discretion is advised.
- Customizable Protagonist Name & Selectable Pronouns:
Players can input a name of their choice and select their preferred pronouns (he/him, she/her, they/them) for the main character.
This is a demo and the game is currently under development.




Anselm, The King’s Blade, is the pride of Elmric— sharp, composed, and devastatingly precise. His name is spoken with awe in courts and on battlefields alike, a legend of unmatched skill and unwavering loyalty. In the royal court, he is a symbol of power, the man who wins wars before they begin.
But to the unfortunate few, he is known by another name:
The Guillotine.


There’s a haunting warmth in his voice—each word wrapped in devotion, shaped only for your ears.
Your name slips from his lips like an unspoken vow, quiet and final—his, and his alone.
And when the silence returns, it carries his presence like a shadow just out of sight. He’s not searching for you.
He’s waiting for you to find him.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH AND I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE MORE!!! Anselm is fantastic and I already adore him!!! I am so intrigued by the story and am eager to explore more in the future!!
En serio me encanta tu obra! De verdad espero con ansias jugar la versión completa! ❤
Oh?? My god??? Idk if I'm done or not, but WOW. You've got quite the game on your hands. I'm so excited to keep playing!!
Thank you for the game, and I look forward to buying the completed game when you're done!! :)
I just finished the demo, I can't wait to see more!! I love Anselm and I love the music, the art style, the writing, everything! I do hope you'll come back to this project soon, it would be a shame for so much potential to be left to rot!! I and I'm sure many eagerly await for your return on this game! Thank you so much for sharing your art with us :)
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH ALREADY CANNOT WAIT FOR MORREEEE!!!!!
The art is so pretty and the backdrops give off a canvas feel which is so, SO AMZAING. Afhlifjrefjreofj God I love Anselm already his flusrtered sprite is so cute jkfhgfdgnlfg Also the horror aspects were not expected but I love it!!!
Thank you for this demo! And for this game! It's amazing and I can't wait to see it finished if you come to it back!!!
best game i swear the best one here^^the artwork is beautiful,the style the music ,literally everything! 10/10
es una pena enserio que este en pausa la novela por las acusaciones de IA- Es una novela realmente hermosa, el dibujo, el color, las sombras, los personajes. Todo me encanta y mas el hecho de que realmente son yanderes. Espero salga una version completa pronto y el/la creador se sienta mejor pronto. 💙
This game was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. The mysteries, the writing, and the LI's are all so GOOD. I can't wait for when the full release comes out. Expect me to be the first few to buy it, on god.
I almost never write reviews because typically everything I like to point out is already written by someone else; however, I HAD to come write a review after I got my first ending. I am extremely pleasantly surprised that this game has LI that are genuinely yandere and not just a little toxic (I prefer this so sorry to everyone that does not). This game is absolutely beautiful and it is insane to me that it is free to play. The story telling and love that went into this game is apparent and I cannot wait until the full game is out. (ꈍ◡ꈍ)♥
Clyde is sooo cute, but I cant like him anymore cause he
S'AedMC, but its all right i'm sure Anselm is a good guy :I just want to say that even though this story was only a demo, it has genuinely kept me up at night — I’m not even kidding! It’s unlike anything I’ve ever read before. I’m honestly considering writing a fanfiction inspired by it because I’m so mesmerized by your work.
Please don’t let the haters discourage you or allow the AI accusations to get to you. Your creativity clearly outshines any criticism others might throw your way. And honestly, even if AI played a small part in your process, I’d still fully support it, because what truly matters is the brilliance of your storytelling. I genuinely can’t wait to see how this story unfolds and reaches its conclusion!
Anselm se lo que le hiciste al pelirrojo...
Eu, entonces están en pausa?? espero que terminen el juego la verdad, me encanto. tanto el ambiente del juego como la escritura y el arte fue increíble. fue una muy buena experiencia de juego y me encantó el rubiecito (Anselm) y su forma de hablar, quedé loca con su labia.
ojala vuelva pronto, me encantaría jugar una versión completa
It absolutely breaks my heart that this is on hiatus because of AI accusations. To say that this game is stunning is such an understatement. Visually it's like nothing else I've seen in a game like this, and the story has me hooked IMMEDIATELY. There's an immaculate sense of world building right off the bat that drags you in and sets up everything you need to know to enjoy the setting while keeping you just as much in the dark as the MC. Anselm is such a cool character immediately, and you believe him when he expresses his feelings and frustrations with his role even while you have a short time with him.
I don't want to spoil it for any new potential players, but I was deep to my core unsettled by several different choices in this set up- from just horrifying visuals in beautiful settings to a direction with a character I didn't expect at all. I was so convinced about what his role is that when the reveal happened I may as well have been sucker punched. Never has a game had me so scared to make a mistake and there's only one chapter.
I crave an update like nothing else, this story has so much potential and visual prowess it is a genuine loss if it's dropped indefinitely.
It's frustrating that you have been falsely accused of using AI generated art and harassed due to it as well. My heart goes to you, your works, and your characters (Anselm my beloved!). If it is still in your interest to continue this game, please do! Know that there are those who's willing to support you no matter what. Despite the issues, please have a sweet break, Slime!
Where eternity sleeps is not only visually appealing but it also has such an attention grabbing plot. As the comment below me have mentioned, the art direction is indeed lovely!🌹 Anselm, without a doubt, have successfully swooned me... no matter the game! I know this is late but I hope it still helps somehow :>

Great writing. Gets you hooked and doesn't meander. The art-direction is lovely and cohesive. I love the way you used highlighted words and sound effects to aid the horror elements in this game.
After seeing the announcement I became sad and angry. It's easy for me to say to ignore the Ai art accusers, but you and the people who point fingers will have to understand something:
They feel it is their morally righteous duty to hound developers + artists they think are using AI. I saw that happen on steam game forums plenty of times. What they don't get its that certain popular artstyles got copied, because they ARE popular. So everyone that made this style their own gets accused. The Ai Inquisition would burn down a village to even get to one AI user and people who use Ai tend not to be bothered about using it. It doesn't matter what the artist will do. The inquisition will never be happy, no matter what proof the poor artist will bring forth.
The box got opened, it cannot be closed. By screaming about advocating for real artist and creative people with dog-piling and finger-pointing they will burn theses creative peeps down in the process. They aren't helping. AI user will continue using AI. They will not stop. What's more ironic is that the majority of Ai - "inquisitors" aren't even artist or even creative people.
All I can hope is that you and your sparkle can preserve. It's your art. It's you.Your way of expression.
God, I really loved it!! I got stuck on the story and wanted to know what happened next!! I hope they keep developing this!!
Im not usually one to comment, and im not sure if you (the dev) will see this, but i wanted to say this regardless; i absolutely loved this game. i have been a fan of your other game (prescription:love) for a while, and i was pleasantly surprised when i had heard you were developing this game. I absolutely enjoyed this, and Im so happy at being able to experience this story, even if just a snippet.
the art style is gorgeous; it was one of the main things which drew me to your games in the first place, and i thoroughly enjoy medieval/fantasy settings. playing this game for the first time was an experience i wish i could relive; it was super thrilling. The rabbit scene was especially one of my favorites, and i admit ive replayed this game several times for that scene alone.
i hope wherever you are, you will know that there are people that love this game and love supporting you, regardless of whether or not you choose to pick up the game again. we all appreciate and love this game.
宝贝我爱你。。。真是伟大的创造
Please, I beg you, keep doing what you like. I LOVEEE this project. Literally cannot stop thinking about it since I played it.
same_
how tall is anselm i need to know for science purposes
Hi! I really enjoyed this demo!
the art is gorgeous and story is so good
i want to know what's going on please
I/m waiting ;-;
Hi! I don't know if there's still a chance or hope, but please don't quit doing what you want. Your art style is so Godly and so is this game, it would be such a waste of potential to just drop it. Don't mind those haters who probably can't do this by themselves and will actually be the ones to use AI if they did lmao. I hope you find your passion to continue doing what you love again, because if they're accusing your art as AI, it just means you're doing so good.
IM IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME, the art is gorgeous as well as the characters, omg there r no words i can use to describe it but i rlly would love to c more <33
Hey, i've checked the official announcement and holy shit why those people are so fricking mean, like they can just scroll up and be done with it, if they don't like it, no one wants to see your opinion like duh. Anyways to the author/developer or whatever term (LOL). I REALLY REALLY LOVE YOUR GAME!! ALSO THE ART IS FANTASTIC <3 THE STORY GOT ME INTRIGUED AND HOOKED. If you need to take a step back from everything, go ahead darling. The most important here is your health. WE WILL BE WAITING FOR YAAAA~
AND TO THOSE WHO BULLIED THIS PERSON, CHECK YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR FIRST OKAY? YOU CANT EVEN DO HALF ON WHAT THEY DOIN. SO FCK OFF.
I just finished the demo with all the possible options and I have to say I love it so much. The art is really beautiful, every time I look at it I think wow Slime is so talented. The backgrounds, the expressions, the writing, the story, everything is so amazing and I fell in love with it. After reading your blog I hope you take your time to rest, don't let those haters and negative people give up on something you love, we're gonna wait for you, and your fans will always support you because we love what you do. You're amazing <3
This game is beautiful, the art is some of the most gorgeous I’ve seen in any VN, the writing as well, and overall the art gave me such a nostalgic feeling. I read your log and I’m really sorry for everything that happened. I hope that in the future you’ll be able to return to a project you poured so much effort and love into. Please take as much time as you need to rest, and don’t let negative comments make you give up on what you love doing. There are so many of us who support you and love your work. Take care <3
Wowowow. This is so good, even with the small amount of story so far! Easily some of the best writing I've come across in a VN, which I really do appreciate as a reader. The plot already has me intrigued and I can't wait to to see more as it unfolds. Knowing the content warnings, I was still surprised by the horror elements - legitimately creepy and gave a sense of dread. The background art and character designs (Anselm, hello) are lovely as well, this just all looks so professionally done. Kudos to the music as well, it really helped set the tone of the scenes. This is already looking to be a great game, and I highly encourage others to check it out and support the creator. :)
Wow. Holy shit, what can I say. This elevates the yandere VN genre so much; your prose is beautiful, I think it's the most well- written VN I've played on here so far, it's like you can actually feel the tension and heartbeats. The art is also breathtaking, you did our boy Anselm so good and Clyde better than he deserves, haha. And I'm so curious and intrigued by the 'entity' yandere, and I'm actually quite scared of him! The horror elements are also so well done. Everything, this whole thing is incrediblly well done. Please play this demo!!
this is one of my first story games I've ever played- I was expecting romance and a bit of fluff, but got completely caught off guard (in a good way!) by the horror elements. I hope the author/artist will resume production, as I'm very invested in the story and would love to see where it goes.
very excited about this game!!!
Wonderful so far. Excited to follow this project.
I really like the painting style and writing style of this game!Author, you are really good at creating characters and atmosphere.If you say it in Chinese, I want to call you teacher!🥺🥺
crying cause I need an android version asap

Stop I literally just went through that earlier and it scared me so bad. It doesn't help that my room's dark as hell rn 😭

HAHAHA yeah literally i also played it later in the night and literally shat myself. i didnt go back and select like "stop throwing rocks" or whtevr but like who was it???? i mean i can guess but i dont wanna spoil in this chat like do we know who it is lol.
but yesss me too but unfortunately they're taking a break atm ;(
really like this game. the plot is very interesting and i'm looking forward to the upcoming developments :) i used the translator. and i hope you get better soon!
i'm so in love with this story and the art <333 i hope you feel better soon!!
The story and the paced of it, along with the soundtracks. And obviously the artstyles makes me fall in love with this. The demo is just long enough to make me intrigued and asking for more.
Just read the log, and I'm sorry that happened to you when all you want is to share your creation, your art and story with others. I hope you're doing okay and take care of yourself. It's okay if you didn't want to continue this vn but i hope you will never lose the spark and joy of creating art. Take care <3
