3	''Eternal Eden'' is a freeware RPG created by [[http://www.blossomsoft.com/ Elder/Blossomsoft]] using UsefulNotes/RPGMaker VX, and is very loosely based on Literature/TheBible.
4
5	The story begins in Eden, where immortality reigns. Everything that anyone could ever need or want is provided for, and everyone can live an immortal life of perfect peace and harmony, with one condition: don't eat the forbidden fruit. But, one fateful day, one of the children disobeys that one rule, and the world is plunged into darkness. It is then up to the main characters to find a way to restore their Paradise.
6
7	A direct sequel, ''Eternal Eden: Ecclesia'' was announced shortly after the game's release, but soon entered DevelopmentHell. In 2015, Blossomsoft announced that the sequel chapter would be cancelled, and the story planned for it would be incorporated into the reboot of the original title, which is currently in development.
8
9	Despite the similar name, it has nothing to do with ''Videogame/EdenEternal'', the Taiwanese [=F2P=] MMORPG.
10
11	!!The game provides examples of:
12
13	* AlliterativeTitle: '''E'''ternal '''E'''den.
14	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Downey]] is captured by Elvira and brainwashed to turn against the heroes.
15	* CosmicRetcon: After the FinalBoss is defeated, the universe is reset to the events before the conflict started.
16	* CrapsackWorld: The World of Shadows is a barren, desolate version of the World of Light. Most, if not all, of the major villains reside there.
17	* DeathEqualsRedemption: The only way to free [[spoiler:Downey]] from Elvira's brainwashing is to kill him.
18	* DiscountLesbians: Joelle is engaged to Linette, but since fairies have NoBiologicalSex, they don't technically qualify as lesbians, even if they both ''look'' female and are referred to in female pronouns.
19	* DudeLooksLikeALady: Jean looks so feminine that Fierro refuses to believe that he is not a girl. He is also the only guy in the party who can equip the Sexy Corset [[spoiler:and, in fact, must wear it to lure out the Caitsith]].
20	* EquipmentUpgrade: Fierro's nun-chucks are improved by upgrading them with Bravestones.
21	* ForbiddenFruit: There's only one rule in Eden: do not eat the Wisdom Fruits. When this law is broken, the entire world is plunged in darkness.
22	* ForcedTransformation: The Princess is transformed into a hideous beast after she unwittingly ate the forbidden Wisdom fruit.
23	* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Inverted. Downey expresses disgust when Joelle reveals her engagement to Linette.
24	* HappilyAdopted: Fierro cares enough for his adoptive family that he's willing to trade the Orb of Courage to save his sister.
25	* HarmlessVillain: Some monsters from the Bounty expedition qualifies -
26	** The Caitsith has 1 HP and dies instantly. It does have a rather... ''unique'' requirement to find, though.
27	** Odin only has 10 HP, and unlike the Caitsith, doesn't even have a special requirement to encounter. Even the official walkthrough states that it's no fun to fight.
28	* HeadbuttingHeroes: Downey and Jean are constantly at odds with each other due to their romantic rivalry for the Princess.
29	* HiddenDepths: Despite being a narcissistic, egocentric jerk, Jean is actually quite smart. For instance, when he and Downey were duelling for the Princess' favour [[spoiler:he was the one to realize that it was a trap, and the "Princess" is actually Elvira in disguise]]. Downey later admits that Jean is much wiser than he is.
30	* HopelessBossFight: The boss in the VideoGameTutorial will defeat you. [[spoiler:It also happens to be the game's FinalBoss, so it's kind of a given]].
31	* IdentityAmnesia: Josefine is afflicted with this when the party first met her. This was why she failed to [[spoiler:recognize Elvira as her sister]].
32	* InUniverseGameClock: The Turtle Island has a day/night system to add the turtle hunt challenge, as certain breeds of turtle can only be found in one half of the day.
33	* LukeIAmYourFather:
34	** [[spoiler:Ruby, the villain who is after the second orb]] is revealed to be Fierro's real father.
35	** [[spoiler:Josefine]] also discovers, after regaining her memories, that [[spoiler:Elvira]] is her sister.
36	* MagicMusic: Joelle uses music to heal, buff the party, debuff enemies, etc.
37	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The whole conflict started when one of the protagonists decide to take the forbidden Fruit of Wisdom.
38	* NoBiologicalSex: According to Joelle, fairies are actually sexless, even though they all ''look'' female.
39	* OffScreenRomance: The game's epilogue shows that [[spoiler:Fierro]] is engaged to [[spoiler:Josefine]], even though their interactions prior to the scene never hint at romance. The justification for this is that the epilogue takes place after a CosmicRetcon, and the two characters would probably have a romantic build-up in this new continuity (which the protagonist, and the audience, don't get to see).
40	* PinballProtagonist: Noah appears to be a mostly passive character who only got caught in the conflict because of his best friend Downey's antics. [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted. Downey is actually a manifestation of Noah that his subconscious created to cover up his misdeeds]].
41	* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Pretty much everyone who live in Eden, since everyone is immortal. The story begins with the main characters celebrating their Princess' 900th birthday.
42	* RealityWarper: The universe in which the game takes place is apparently created by [[spoiler:Noah]] to cover up the truth that [[spoiler:''he'' was the one who ate the Wisdom Fruit and unleashed the chaos]].
43	* RequiredPartyMember: ALL of them. Every single playable character is integral to the plot in some ways, and since one member always leaves/dies before the next one is introduced, you will never have an inactive party member.
44	* RetGone: [[spoiler:Downey]] does not appear in the Epilogue. Granted, [[spoiler:being a manifestation of Noah's guilt]], he doesn't technically exist, and is thus erased from the "true" reality.
45	* SignificantWhiteHairDarkSkin: Fierro has black skin and white hair, a trait he does ''not'' share with the rest of his kin. This is presumably to {{Foreshadow}} [[spoiler:that he is actually from the World of Shadows, cast out by his biological father to spare him from having to grow up in a CrapsackWorld]].
