I always liked history combined with romance. Actually, that's not true, I think I might just like anything that implements romance in any way. Therefore, I was immediately interested at The End of an Actress' premise. Admittedly, I don't know a lot about history so this review will be solely about the game itself without influenced by any other kind of kno…

This story is based on the later life of Marie Antoinette, last queen of France. However, I'm going to focus this review on the fictional characters and the historical fiction story created by ebi-hime. Seeing as how I'm a socialist and detest historical figures like Marie Antoinette, I feel that not separating the two would muddle the review and insert unn…
This is the weakest writing of Ebihime from what I've read so far. The characters have zero chemistry, Liliane is nothing but a shallow spoiled brat, yet Marius still falls in love with her. Liliane has her moments but she's still a weak character in the bigger picture. The art is meh; the eyes of Liliane's sprite are disturbingly ugly, and her boobs chang…

About This Game
Based on the life (and death) of Marie Antoinette, The End of an Actress is a tragic romance story set in a fantasy universe with close parallels to late 18th century France.
The kingdom of Artoire was once a force to be reckoned with. Governed by a string of beloved kings, the nation was wealthy, its people prosperous. That was in the past, however. Now, Artoire’s fortunes are dwindling as constant wars and food shortages sweep the land. After innumerable hard years, the people of Artoire begin to despair. Fearing for the worst, they search for a messiah who can save them during their time of peril…
And that messiah comes in the form of a fourteen-year-old girl called Liliane.
Liliane is a beautiful, charming, elegant young lady from the foreign land of Charentes, born to the noble Saint-Coeurs. Betrothed to the future king of Artoire, Liliane ascends to the throne upon the death of the old monarch, to public approval and rapturous applause.
With the passing of time, however, the public opinion towards Liliane turns. It soon transpires that the new queen is vain and flighty, and she cares not one jot about the plight of the common people. The death toll continues to rise, new wars loom on the horizon, and despair swells.
Betrayed and helplessly hurt, a young man called Marius becomes a key player in a revolt that will shake the society of Artoire to its very core. Once a street urchin enamoured with the queen, and now a lead revolutionary, Marius is faced with a difficult decision. Can he really bring the queen he once adored to justice… or will his old feelings ruin all he has been working for?

Horniness scale
Each game gets a score from 1 to 5 hearts. Higher means more explicit adult content.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 1 | Raunchy / softcore — suggestive themes, light fanservice, or mature humor; little or no on-screen explicit sexual content. |
| 2 | Spicy but restrained — clear adult intent (nudity, strong innuendo, or brief suggestive scenes) without sustained explicit focus. |
| 3 | Clearly adult — recurring sexual content or nudity as a meaningful part of the experience, but not the sole focus of the game. |
| 4 | Strongly explicit — graphic sexual themes, extended explicit stills or text, or gameplay built heavily around adult situations. |
| 5 | Explicit and often animated — graphic sexual content that is frequently animated or interactive; core to what you see and do in the game. |
