More about this game
Ethereal Gaze is an atmospheric dating simulator where you interact with Salica Serpentine, a mysterious guardian. Your goal is to build your relationship meter from its starting point of 44% up to 100%. The core loop involves touching different areas of the guardian—like her eyes, ears, hair, or armor—to see her reactions, and chatting with her using the text input. The difficulty lies in choosing the right words; positive words increase your relationship, while negative or demanding words will decrease it. The run continues as long as you want to chat and interact.
Tips
- Touching her hair triggers a longer reaction than other areas, lasting 1.22 times the normal duration.
- Be careful when asking about her armor or secrets; demanding them will lower your relationship score.
- Using words like 'beautiful', 'kind', or 'brave' will add 2 points to your relationship score per word.

Using negative words like 'ugly', 'weak', or 'hate' will decrease your relationship score by 3 points per word. Salica will respond coldly if your message score drops below -2.
Can I interact with the artwork?
