From the Eclipse is a Ren'Py visual novel by Erochaser, told through 3D CG visuals with animations. You play a young man whose planned engagement announcement is disrupted when his fiancée is caught in an illicit family deal and faces being sold to a noble as a concubine. He must gather allies and try to free her, though the story emphasizes that laws, plans, and consequences can turn against him. The world blends magic, science, and technology, and the main route is supported by side stories involving many races, including elves, beastkin, halflings, and other humans.
The current build is v0.4.8.7, dated September 13, 2026, and development continues. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac, with English text and no censorship. The latest changelog entry adds three new events.
Developer's description
On the eve of you and your fiance announcing your engagement, you find out that her family is involved in an illicit deal and she is set to be sold to another guy. She is now destined to be enslaved by a vile noble as his newest concubine. Determined to free her from this unfair future, our hero needs to find allies, and come up with a plan to free her. But, as you will find out, things in life never go the way that you may want or plan them to. The law is the law and all must follow it. Because if you don't you could be the one enslaved next!
Spoiler
I am Erochaser and I am the creator and developer of 'From the Eclipse'. From the Eclipse is an interactive virtual novel/game where you play a young guy that is thrown into a world and life unfamiliar to him. There is a main story that will be told, and a bunch of side stories as well to fill this world up with amazing characters. In this world of magic, science and technology, you will meet girls of many different races, such as elves, beastkin(cat, wolf, bunny, etc.), halflings, other humans, and more! Some will come to serve you and you will find many brides, love, romance and ...ahem...intimate encounters, on your way to living a life that you all can be happy with.

I will see how everything goes for now and make changes as I see needed. Anything that required money in past events has been just given to you, and going forward purchases in the auction house will be role play moments.

v0.3.3f
• The Family Register is here!
• 2 new story events.
• 1 new repeatable event.
NOTE:
This update is smaller in content due to the implementation of the Family Register. v0.3.4 will be back to a normal sized update.
NOTE II:
The family register still has some work that needs to happen on it, one of those things is moving the menu that pops up in the middle of the screen. I have not had it work successfully yet, but am looking into it. This may take a few updates to correct. Also, I will be slowly adding the rest of the girls to the register every few updates, most of the ones from Chapter 1 are available in the current version.
NOTE III:
There is also an issue with the sizing of some of the images in the Family Register, they are too big. I had thought I corrected this already but it was brought to my attention that it is still happening. I will be correcting this for v0.3.4.
v0.3.2s
• 6 New events.
• 1 Note from the dev, me!
• 280+ images for the events.
•
NOTE:
Fie will be added into Dahlia's room in v0.3.3... I forgot to add her. Sorry.
v0.3.1p
• 4 New Events, 3 smaller, 1 big.
• 4.25 New animated scenes!(?)
• The Auction House is now open. It is a different, yet similar, format to what it was. It is a
very
simple code that makes it easy to add to. NOTE: I have to add some more money generation into the game(this has been added for v0.3.2).

• Over 590 images!
• Several repeatable scenes from before Chapter 3 have been re-implemented.
v0.2.7
N/A
v0.2.6ma
• This is the fixed version of v0.2.6m. As an added bonus you will get to see some of the rooms occupied that were originally empty in v0.2.6, and were to be introduced in v0.2.7. So you get it early.
• The story continues, with a tiny bit of a darker turn. (Worry not, you know how I feel about my characters
).
• New estate navigation basic set up.
• New characters introduced.
• Set up for future content, including the return of City content in the future.
v0.2.5m
• Chapter 2 finale!
• New, smaller file size! (Full image quality available on Patreon)

• Make sure to play this with the sound and music on!
v0.2.4r

• 1 new repeatable (Talia's room in the morning).
v0.2.3g
• Fixed a small bug that prevented a repeatable scene. Check Renne's room at noon.
v0.2.3b
• A small dialogue fix at the end of Penny's events from v0.2.2.
• 7 new story events.
• 2 new repeatable events.
v0.2.2
• 2 new events to enjoy, the first one is fairly long.
• Added new rooms, the Twins' room is finally up.
v0.2.1
• Fresh start highly recommended. See the 5th bullet point to see how to catch up fast without having to play the entire game. No save files needed!
• Adjusted the code to make animations run smoothly!
• There are 4 new events in this update.
• Added a new wing to the estate.
• Re-implemented the chapter select option when you start a new game. There is also a new option here to jump to a point closer toward the end. This point is currently set to the start of v0.2.0. - NOTE: The option to jump chapters is after you choose your character's name.
v0.2.0
• There are 4 new events, two of them are fairly big, one is medium sized. The last one is a special event accessible only at night in the brothel out in the city! This one is not required to continue the story in future updates.
• Should not need a fresh restart, however certain save files from some of my Patrons found that there was an issue somewhere if they loaded up certain files. We were not able to pin point what the issue was, just beware. In the next version there will be an option to skip toward the end to bypass most of the game if you do not fancy another play through.
v0.1.9
• A complete overhaul of Chapter 1, including timing and value changes. You will have to start the game over, but it will now be much easier to cruise through in the future.
• Removed/disabled the old navigation system in favor of a menu system. (Note: There are some cases it still pops up. I have been working on eliminating it entirely.)
• I have disabled (temporarily?) the chapter skip function. I find that it is no longer needed with the restructure. It may return one day.
• Removed the in game walkthrough in Chapter 1, it no longer serves a purpose.
• Added 2 new events.
NOTE: A New game will be required to play due to the number of changes made to the code.
