In a kingdom covered in snow, in a kingdom where the snow never melts and never goes away, there lives a prince who keeps watch over his kingdom and resolves to maintain peace. When the prince learns that his family’s history isn’t as spotless as he had been told, he endeavors to fix what his family had done wrong and to ensure the continual peace of his kingdom. This will lead the prince to battling the phantoms that prowl the lands, to saving a princess, and to realizing the secrets of his family and his kingdom.

The entire game takes place in Sabine Kingdom and the island that it rests on. The island is constantly shrouded in snow, but for some reason, no one ever feels cold. Plants continue to grow despite the snow, so there is no danger of a food shortage. There has never been a need to question this, so the residents of Sabine Kingdom are blissfully unaware.

Though of course, our prince--Snowe--is not blissfully unaware any longer. A dream leads him to combing through his parents' library and learning that something is amiss. What is our prince to do except try and fix what he had found? He can't just sit back and pretend like he hadn't read about a girl being locked in a tall tower where she may one day die from flames that threaten to burn her. No, he can't do that at all.

Did you like SSP and wanted more? Do you like reading??

Because of reasons, I've finally uploaded the sequel web novel, Ephemeral Prince to itch.io as an EPUB and a PDF. So, if you wanted to ever read Ephemeral Prince on your phone and not connected to the internet, now you can!

I figured this warrented a blog post, so I hope those who liked the game and liked the sequel will enjoy Ephemeral Prince on the go.



Maybe one day I'll make a game again, but today is not that day! Enjoy some old ass writing because it's like 10 years old! (which means SSP is older ugh)

This is pretty much the best RM* game I've ever played, although I don't think it'll have the long-lasting presence of Exit Fate/Last Scenario - but that's not a bad thing. SSP is just a more insular, shorter tale.

Time for the Sepulcher -
I have a question to ask ! I'm on Chapter 2 at the castle and I'm stuck at the room with the spikes !! Can anyone help me ???

@andrepawney: I assume you mean the Tower? You can go back to the switch room and play with the switches to open another room. There is another room with switches that will make those spikes go down and then you can explore that room. :)

The only thing that I can think of to improve this game would be a script that makes a noise whenever you bump into something

because, you know, Snowe has a flat nose, etc.
I'm only as far as working my way through the Sepulcher, but just wanted to drop by and say how much I'm enjoying the game. Before starting I wondered whether it could possibly live up to its Review - well, it does.
HI !! sorry it's me again !! I am fighting against the bird thing and with two hits he kills me :( Is there some kind of strategy to win ??

I think I'm lost. I've got through the maze and have entered the castle. However, I go straight from the front door, through a hallway, up some stairs to what I think are called the airways, without actually going through the castle itself. What am I missing?
Thanks
As soon as chapter 2 starts, every time I try to pick up the book on the couch, the game crashes. Even if I ignore the book, it crashes soon anyway. Any idea how to fix it please?

@littlebro: you're on the right track.

@Zyvin314: if it's a rgss2 player crash, I don't know what to tell you. You say it crashes soon anyway, well, where does it crash if you ignore the book?

I don't now what you're stuck on, but on the outside, there's a path left leading to a door which may look impassable, but isn't.

Now I'm even more confused. On the outside I've found a herb, a chest, a Tome and 3 pouches, but no left path leading to any door just the path straight up to a central door

<_< You were going to right way when on the floating part. Just keep going and eventually you'll find the actual castle.

Well, anytime I try to open the menu or leave that room with the healing statue. When it crashes, it just says windows has encountered an error with the Game.exe and had to close it.

Kinda bummed, since the story got me hooked already.

Well, except that I end up in the Boss room without ever getting into the Castle and therefore finding tomes, equipment etc. I've found 3 levels of airways: (1) where you start, having gone up the stairs from the entrance hall of the building (2) the level where you have to throw several switches to create a pathway (3) where there's a healing bowl, switch puzzle and the stairs leading up to a snowy area.
Any chance of a more specific hint? Thanks

@Zyvin314: I'm sorry. :( Can you give me your computer specs? I don't know why it's reacting so badly with you.

@littlebro: uh, finish up the airway part. If I designed it that way and nobody else has said it's being done in the wrong order, you can safely assume that you're going the right direction. If you get to the stairs leading to the snow area, you're on the right track. Dunno how to be more specific buddy. And where praytell do you assume the boss room is? Going by your description alone tells me you're nowhere close.

This happens to me. Just constantly save if you're set on playing the game and be ready to open the game again. If Ronove doesn't find a solution.
So, apparently, if I take the game out of full screen it runs just fine. Picked up that book so hard.
I made a wrong guess. When I hit the snow patch I thought that was it, so re-loaded. Anyway, I've worked my way through the Castle, my party are all together again; I've found the storage rooms (at least, I think that's what they are) - but no secret room. I've found the place where a bit of wall says it looks like there used to be a door there, but I can't activate anything. Where should I be to find it?

This reminds me of my only criticism of the game, and that is that nowhere is labelled with the name of the area. This can make for confusion, or at least, it confuses me sometimes. Other than that, I'm really enjoying myself.

EDIT
It's always the way. As soon as I posted my query I found what I was looking for.

@Zyvin314: Well that's new! :O If other people have trouble, I'll suggest that and see what happens. Though some screens stretch the crap out of my game. @_@

@littlebro: I couldn't make the location names show up well though I will fiddle with it a bit before I release a new version. You should see the names in the editor! It's quite a mess. @_@
