A visual novel is an interactive fiction game, featuring mostly static graphics, most often using anime-style art or occasionally live-action stills (and sometimes video footage). As the name might suggest, they resemble mixed-media novels.

In Japanese terminology, a distinction is often made between visual novels proper (abbreviated NVL), which consist predominantly of narration and have very few interactive elements, and adventure games (abbreviated AVG or ADV), which may incorporate problem-solving and other types of gameplay. This distinction is normally lost outside Japan, where both NVLs and ADVs are commonly referred to as "visual novels" by international fans. Visual novels and ADVs are especially prevalent in Japan, where they made up nearly 70% of the PC game titles released in 2006.

Visual novels are distinguished from other game types by their extremely minimal gameplay. Typically the majority of player interaction is limited to clicking to keep the text, graphics and sound moving (most recent games offer "play" or "fast-forward" toggles that make even this unnecessary).

Most visual novels have multiple storylines and many endings; the gameplay mechanic in these cases typically consists of intermittent multiple-choice decision points, where the player selects a direction in which to take the game.

Edel Blume is a visual novel game that takes place in a gothic fantasy world with death and rebirth as its theme.

The story sets stage in medieval Europe, the heroine Meary is orphaned as a child and is brought up by nuns in the village's convent. As her sixteenth birthday draws near, she starts being plagued by nightmares. Although she understands nothing of those dreams nor remembers anything from them, she has a feeling that she has done something utterly horrible in another life.

One day, an aristocrat Gerald pays a visit to Meary's village and requests that the convent send Meary to his castle as his bride. From then onwards, mysterious occurrences start happening in the village.

Read the text and listen to the fully voiced dialogs to proceed with the story. You are presented with options during the game that are going to determine your ending. The game uses an eyecatch system that allows you to see how much the characters likes you. You also unlock secret scenes by choosing specific options in a specific order.

The game disk
A comical drama CD
An Art book that carries character settings information
