Beyond Eden: Dear Edward

Beyond Eden: Dear Edward is a life and relationship simulation by Studio Pieplus set in 1890s London. Edward, a young aristocrat with substantial gambling debts, has one year to decide how to change his circumstances. The player determines what he studies, who he meets, and how he develops his abilities. His possible futures include different occupations and relationships with businessman Alex Wake or former school roommate Francis Taylor. Unlike the more purely narrative structure of Beyond Eden, this spin-off connects outcomes to both choices and statistics. It also contains optional epilogues concerning characters from the earlier game, connecting Edward’s story to the original cast.
