About Revue Starlight El Dorado
Revue Starlight El Dorado launches on August 8 2024 for Windows. It is a visual‑novel from the stage‑themed Revue Starlight franchise, written by Tatsuhito Higuchi and developed by Frontwing, the studio behind the Grisaia series.

01 / THE GUIDE
Story Premise
The plot follows the 99th Class of Seisho Music Academy as they prepare for the 101st Festival’s Starlight and decide to stage Japan’s famed tragedy El Dorado. Two leads—Salvatore Guglie, son of an exiled admiral, and Alejandro Javier Cavallero Cruz, heir of a Spanish aristocrat—anchor the youth‑focused narrative.
The description frames the story as a metaphorical ocean that “sings” to the characters, inviting players to choose which lead to follow and watch how each perspective shapes the unfolding drama.
- Read both lead routes to see how dialogue tone shifts between characters.
- Notice the recurring musical references that echo the franchise’s live‑performance roots.
