Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Beyond Eden is a Ren'Py-based BL visual novel, the inagural game of Korean developers Studio Pieplus, released in Korean in 2016 and English in 2017.Nearing the end of the Victorian era, 26-year-old Alex Wake returns to Ashgrove Manor, where he'd spent years of his childhood, as a guest - with a thoroughly planned vengeance for a grievous wrong. Welcomed by the Edenics and their servants, he sets about his plot to unravel the family from within and "destroy everything inside that house". But even while Alex's vengeance progresses, as he is forced to understand and confront the targets of his hatred, he becomes increasingly troubled by the lingering hope of redemption.Although the story is told primarily via male-male character relationships, including both sexual ones and strictly platonic/familial ones, romance is not the main focus. Beyond Eden explores subjects including dysfunctional familial relationships, abuse, and Victorian social divisions and mores. It has been compared to The Count of Monte Cristo in theme and structure.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A follow-up/spinoff, Beyond Eden: Dear Edward, was announced in 2018, with the release date as "some time in 2019".

Accomplice by Inaction: Alex considers every Edenic, even the ones who were 1-2 years old at the time, to be responsible for Beth's death. Whether or not they were at all involved, they were guilty because they continued to live at Ashgrove, enjoying the "benefits" of nobility without trying to change their family's ways. He also accuses Morris of this, as Morris had been the only adult who could have counseled the Baron to care for Beth more, and possibly prevent her from dying. The fact that Morris appeared to have done nothing (Alex would not have known as a child, either way) is a significant part of Alex's grudge against a man he otherwise considered a friend.

Abusive Parents: The Baron in his youth was both abusive and neglectful, breaking Joshua's leg in a fit of rage badly enough to give him a permanent limp, scarring Alex, and otherwise ignoring his children unless they assisted him in hunting. In the present, he has downgraded to "only" being neglectful. Josephine Edenic also ignored the raising of her children to seek excitement in London, and on returning the two things she does are castigate Joshua for things out of his control (and Edward's fault), and try to poison Jeremy. Even before then, the tension in the relationship between her and her children could have been cut with a knife.
