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)

Why does the sequel banner (The Ephemeral Prince banner) on the front page link to the TVTropes page...?

That said, I notice the banner is spelled as "ephemreal" instead of "ephemeral"...
I'm a mac user, so I usually play rpgmaker games on wine. Sadly, because this runs on VX, I cannot play it on my mac. Because it's so acclaimed, I went to the trouble of getting a pc to play it on (I have a kind sister)!
It's really great thus far!
Thank you for making a wonderful game. The visuals were breathtaking, the gameplay was challenging, and all boss fights were perfect (not the usual 'spamming strongest attack routine').

One thing, will there ever be and RPGMaker sequel to this? I like your writing style, and the blog will certainly be interesting, but a game of this caliber needs a great sequel.

No, there won't be an RPG Maker sequel to this game. I haven't felt like making a straight up RPG in a while and when I do, I'd like to make a wholly new game. Regardless, the story I envisioned didn't work as an RPG, hence the change in format.

I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Here's hoping when I make more games, you'll be just as interested.
Playing this game right now, and just finished Chapter 4 (that Chimera fight had me on my toes -- I'm still mystified how I managed to get through it!). I'm sure you've heard this many times before, but your game is amazing. Beautiful visuals, interesting plot, and the music is simply astounding for adding to the mood. I'm really eager to finish this game! :D

Just a quick question though: after the Chimera fight, I tried leaving the Guardian Shrine. The thing is, once I got outside the door the screen blacked out D: The menu's still working, but I can't see anything :( Is this a bug? D: (I'm still pretty well-stocked, but yeah, it niggles me a bit XD)

Whoops, that may indeed be a bug! Let me double check this... whoops indeed! For some reason if you had your arrows turned on, the Fade In event wasn't there, haha. I'll have the fix up there by mid-week I promise. Just remember, turn off arrows before you leave the shrine next time!
i cant play it becaues it needs an rtp cant you just include everything in the download?

There is a link for the one with the RTP. Click Downloads link on the top bar (not the big button that says Download Now), and you will find the RTP version.
I downloaded the game with the rtp and when I go to play it I'm told the intro music isn't there so it closes. suggestions?

Well, it is there I just tested it. Are you trying to play it right out of the .zip file? If so, extract it somewhere and play it that way.

Edit: dumb computer I got it and it is awesome!

Yes, MShadowsWhisper someone once messaged me about a problem with my game and it was because they didn't actually take it out of the .zip. I HAD TO COVER ALL BASES.
Got the game yesterday. I didn't expect much after seeing prologue (sorry)... but I'm glad I was wrong!
Beautiful graphics, great soundtrack, interesting story... I died a few times in Eastern Tower and (believe it or not) this is why I love the game even more.


I will definitely recommend this game to some of my friends (RPG fans).
Just tried it today. Got as far as the bird, the second time (with additional party members) and got absolutely slaughtered. Whatever was supposedly done to it by that spell wasn't nearly enough to save my bacon, no matter what I did. (Including stat changing items, and finding better armor beforehand.) So it kind of ended there, for me, quite prematurely.

I guess you could call it the "way-too-hard ending." ^^;
Hoooooly Shit. The first boss is too catacomb boss is too F*****G overpowered. Quit playing after losing 5 times straight. I wonder if you EVEN TEST out your games at all. Artwork was nice, game play was decent, catacomb boss made this game trash. PEACE.
