What Happened the Night Before

I can't believe the serotonin boost this gave me. It was short, sweet and to the point, but I never felt like there was anything missing from the plot - the little blanks left from the narration were easily made up for in my mind, which attest to the splendid storytelling job from the author. I will highly recommend this to anyone asking me for cute and wholesome VNs recs, AND I will definitely be checking out all the other products ebi-hime has to offer -- and if you're reading this while being on the fence whether to give it a try or not, DO IT !! You won't regret it.

I reactivated my 5 years old account just to comment here

This game is amazing. REALLY. There were some moments where I was genuinely at the vergue of crying, others where I felt like the happiest person ever for the two boys

This is a masterpiece! Thank you for making this game

Albeit I played/read not a lot of them, BL stories were always sort a guilty pleasure of mine, and since I stumbled on this while I was scrolling away bored on a sunday, I was like "Hey this could be interesting, lets try it!" but oh boy was I wrong, it wasn't interesting, it was so amazing it blew me away. The way the writer masterfully gets into the character's heads while also making their dialogue flow smoothly and fluidly yet akwardly at the same time really impressed me. This game also played with my heart strings by targetting my massive weakness for hurt/comfort (i did not realize i even had that weakness until i finished this game and took a while to self reflect) and it nails the asmosphere its going for very well. One last thing I want to add, I think that this game's size is one of its strongest points, It could have very easily dragged on for too long and ruin its own charm, or for the writer to get distracted with giving the player multiple choices, but no, every phase from the begining where it sets the tone and shows us the spark between the two right up to the  bittersweet ending, I felt more immersed and invested than I remember being for any other story, BL or otherwise, in recent memory.

Phew that was quite a rant, its probably clear that this game got me quite worked up, heck I probably can go and praise it for another 2 paragraphs but I need to force myself to stop, because, as I'm writing this its 1 am and I'm supposed to wake up in 5 hours. Regardless, I enjoyed this wholehartedly for the story and for the care put into every aspect of this game, from the art to the UI and I look forward to try ebi-hime's other projects.

I played What Happened the Night Before after It gets so lonely here and wow, what a difference! While not without its complications, Mikage and Noah's love story is blessed, darling cuteness. Ebi-hime balances realistic family struggles and besties-to-lovers schmoop. The signature touch of angst and uncertainty makes the happy ending that much sweeter and hopeful. The art, UI (I did love the cute basketball!), and CGs make the love story pop in a way I think it wouldn't if What Happened the Night Before was a novella.  The integration of art & story are essential to capturing Noah and Mikage. I'm very much looking forward to more of ebi-hime's games.

I love hurt/comfort like these, this was so sweet <3

anytime I try to open up the game I get this what can I do?

You said this story didn't have a lot of substance to it, but I actually liked seeing Mikage's attempts to cheer Noah up and make him appreciate himself more. It made me feel more inclined to like him too, even if he was a little frustrating at times. I also enjoyed the UI!

This was so sweet!! 😭 I love their dynamic and the way they played off of each other, the art's wonderful, and the execution of the story was spot on - my heart is healed 💞

This was a very cute VN, thank you for making it. I enjoyed it a lot.
