You can find the official website (in French) [[http://www.aedemphia-rpg.net here]] for more informations.

** Due to how the CharacterAlignment system and the dialogs with the companions work, the player can turn Irzyka into an unredeemable bastard who's genuinely friend with her TrueCompanions and will be supportive of them and try to help them overcome their problems.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Alzarith. Once a normal man and [[spoiler:a loving brother for Irzyka]]. Because of scientific experiences, he has been turned into a world (hard to explain, ItMakesSenseInContext). Basically, he has received god-like powers, but he's also tormented by a horrid sickness that gives him BodyHorror and unbelievable pain. Now immortal, he can't even kill himself and is condemned to live eternally with his pain. The only thing that can ease his sufferings is blood. As a "world", he can feed on the lives of the people who live in him. At first, he refused to pay such a price. But over time, his pain started to drive him mad and he began to stage wars in order to feed of the deaths. When the heroes meet him, he has long since [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumped the Slippery Slope]] and is now trying to destroy all worlds to stop his pain. Cruel, hateful and destructive, he's also somewhat pathetic and pitiable because of his tragic backstory, his madness, his pain and the horrible successive [[BodyHorror Body Horrors]] he has to go through. [[spoiler:Even his love for his sister [[IncestSubtext has been twisted into something far more disturbing]]]].

* KickTheDog: The player can have Irzyka do this on a regular basis if he choses the "Evil" path.

Its creator, Sylvanor, describes its game as a fusion between WesternRPG (freedom of action and of choice, plenty of sidequests, [[CharacterAlignment roleplay with your main character]], the possibility to resolve fights with stealth or diplomacy, freedom in the evolution of the statistics of the characters) and EasternRPG (presence of an overaching plot, party members written into the plot).

* DefrostingIceKing: Non romantic example between Irzyka and Aredas, if the player choses to befriend him. At first cold, rude and even aggressive, Aredas is one of the slowest companions to befriend. Once it's done however, while still somewhat rude and very direct, he will become one of her most loyal and trusted friends.

The game allows you to play Irzyka, a WhiteMagicianGirl [[CharacterAlignment whose personality will entirely be determined by the player's choices]]. The game begins when [[HeroOfAnotherStory Ufa]], with the help of [[EccentricMentor his mentor Egaj]] and [[ShipTease his friend Irzyka]], is about to fight his last battle against [[EvilOverlord the "Heartless Soul"]], a bloodthirsty tyrant who terrorizes the world of Estarzall. However, during the battle between the two armies, Irzyka gets sucked in an explosion. She survives but, without knowing how ([[spoiler:at first]]), she's sent into another world : Akzalfir. Trapped in a foreign world, Irzyka will try everything she can to return to Estarzall and find her friends. On the way, she will befriend some companions and meet plenty of people.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The Avatars are god-like entities who feed on human lives in order to stay awake. However, once they're set free, they never attack any known location outside of story-related events. You can take entire months to do sidequests, they will never destroy any town in the mean time.

The plot may be a little classic sometimes, especially in the beginning, but it has some neat twists. The main strenghts of Aëdemphia are its characters and its atmosphere. Irzyka's companions all have their own personality and the player has the possibility to converse with them in order to befriend them and to reveal their HiddenDepths. The game has also a mind-boggling atmosphere. All the sprites, settings and landscapes have been drawn by Sylvanor. This gives the game his own unique style. Each world has its setting ; with its own history, geography, customs, species, climate, religion... Each town has its particularities that set it apart from other towns. The amount of details put in the construction of the universe is impressive.

However, during her journey, she will discover that a terrible and powerful enemy threatens both Estarzall and Akzalfir. Jumping between the two worlds with her friends, she will try to stop this threat. However, the fight may be more difficult than she expected, as this strange man claims to have a connection with her. Who is he in reality? Why does he claim to know her? And, more importantly, why doesn't she remember?

* MoralityPet: Accalia is this for her fiancé Aredas. If Irzyka befriends him, she will become a seconde one for him. Especially highlighted in the optional scene where she can [[spoiler:convince him to not kill his hated father, who seems to have betrayed them]].

However, once they're set free, they never attack any known location outside of story-events. You can take entire months to do sidequests, they will never destroy any town in the mean time.

** Due to his JerkassFacade, most of his companions aren't really fond of him.
