Reception

[edit]

By November 2022, the game had sold more than 10,000 copies.[21] On May 29, 2024, Voltage announced that the original game had sold more than 30,000 copies.[22] By March 2025, the games had sold over 50,000 copies worldwide.[23]

Jenni Lada from Silliconera called Even If Tempest a "fairly graphic game."[24] She talked about the constant investigations alongside the chosen love interests before going to the witch trial, searching for revelations, stating that it made it feel more like an adventure game.[24] However, she wished that the revelations had been more spaced out instead of constantly rushing. Lada liked Anastasia as a "strong willed" individual and her design. However, Lada disliked the constant glitches faced in her gameplay, such as her personal protagonist still being referred to as Anastasia when she had changed the name, and the game crashing after Anastasia received her destiny.[24] She called Even If Tempest an otome game that "dares to be different" in terms of gameplay, story, and tone. However, she disliked the more time spent on saving her progress when the game could potentially crash.[24]
