im honestly blown away by this, and it only on chapter 2!!! throughout my play, ive been endlessly commenting on the music and the sound design, both really elevated the experience more than i can say about most vns ive played (which admittedly isnt a lot but still, it was phenomenal!!) the writing was super realistic, i found myself blown away by the accurate representation of the culture shock and the trauma of growing up in such an environment, and honestly i would recommend this to anyone!! and ofc cant forget about the art, which i thought was super duper cute!! love haps' art a lot! :D
I was skeptical about picking up this VN just cause its still fairly new... I glad I did though, Its really Next level when it comes to Sound Design and Imagery.. I cant wait for more of it.
I love this so far!! I know it's only early atm but it's a very wholesome and feel-good story vibe compared to a lot of other romance furry vns. I especially love the queer coming of age elements and I think Cody's character and his struggle with coming out is portrayed really accurately.
I know some people are saying horror but this update felt much more like a Poe-esque gothic romance. Melancholy with spooky elements. (Which is like a whole ass vibe so I am HERE for it.)
STOP MAKING ALDRIC SUCH A LOVABLE GOOFY FURBALL PLS. My heart yearns for more and I want to hug him so bad just because he simply exists.
Simping aside, the writing is solid top-tier, undoubtedly. I've read a fair share of (furry) visual novels, and this one's story line and character interaction is really interesting. The plot line makes sense and the character development is really realistic, in a sense that it feels natural. Kudos to the team!! The artwork is mesmerizing too! The landscape is breath-taking and that specific scene of MC with Aldric eating food in MC's room is just *chef-kiss*; I have no proper adjective for such a blissful sensation. The artwork is just that good. I now demand 100 chapters by tomorrow. lol, jk. Keep it up! This (visual) novel has a tons of potential!
Seems very promising so far! I thoroughly enjoyed the first chapter. The story, the arts, the atmosphere... mmmmm. Looking forward to see what'll happen next!
Had to restart the game from scratch because I changed computers between releases and honestly? I'm glad I had to because I might have missed all the little changes and adjustments!
New story might be a little light but the overall update was chonky! I'm excited to see where this goes guys you got me hooked. I'm loving all the characters so far even the one(s) I know I'm going to LOATHE
Howdy. The code has been scanned and tested with no results of infection. The newest version of RenPy sometimes results in Windows Defender Smartscreen incorrectly classifying the game as malware. This is a false positive and can be ignored by adding an exception in Windows Defender or clicking 'More Info > Run Anyway
Hey there, thanks for pointing it out. Was trying to figure out something technical earlier and did not realize it deleted the windows file. Got it all fixed now though.
Honestly a great story so far! I was distraught when I realized I was at the end for now. But I will be following this closely, and will definitely be interested in continuing it when you have more updates!
Hey there, the team behind the unofficial Chinese Translation is looking into why that error is happening. So I'll let you know in a reply when there is a fix.
Liam and Tobin will be returning in limited capacity for future chapters. As well as an extended appearance in a future chapter involving the college winter break.
Aw, so cute to read this VN! There were serious moments and heartwarming moments. And not one moment in the story felt plain and boring, it kept moving forward in a steady pace. You all did a great job in story telling. I'll look forward in the next update! 😃

The game is simply beautiful, it is a shame that it is not translated into Spanish, even so, it is a work of art
When is chapter 2 coming to android?
It's already available, just download the currently visible android file.

Really excited for future updates!!!!!
OMG I LOVE IT I NEED MOR
Furry life is strange is not something i expected but is something i wholeheartedly welcome

Flustered Aldric is too damn CUTE! 😳 Omg, I need more of him in my life~ 😌
Gosh, the story is progressing AMAZINGLY well 😍 I absolutely adore the direction, moreso how beautifully written each and every character is 😊
Top dog marks across the board 😋 xou guys are doing an incredible job. Please keep up all the great work! 😁
Great update! Aldric is so lovable! The creepy horror and intrigue is going great, I'm so interested!
so far, it's really good! Excited for the update tomorrow!
why does it have to be three days away!. it's so pretty i can't wait for chapter 2.
Out of curiosity, how many love interests are there?
Just the one, though there will be optional NSFW encounters with one or more characters I will not name.
Oh, okay. I got so attached to Tobin!

Believe me when I tell you I've played my fair share of furry vns, but this one is easily one of my favorites. Keep up the great work!

Won't let me download the apk file on android. The download gets stuck at 295.27 MB and theres just nothing that i can do about it.
A sweet story. Can't wait for chapter 2!

Is there an NSFW scene already? (Not desperate, just asking)
Not at the moment.
I won't download the Win.rar. Version, cause Windows Defenders reports a trojan.

Thanks
is there a windows release for english that is missing
Hey there, thanks for pointing it out. Was trying to figure out something technical earlier and did not realize it deleted the windows file. Got it all fixed now though.
Aldric looks to have a canine penis, no other NSFW in the files yet - looking good so far.
Honestly a great story so far! I was distraught when I realized I was at the end for now. But I will be following this closely, and will definitely be interested in continuing it when you have more updates!
Wow, just wow.
just this first chapter had me all over with emotions. Anger, sadness, happiness.
Absolutely amazing story telling. Cant wait for the rest
help please i dont know how to fix this ):

im confusion
Huh?!
Um.. when will the update come because I'm excited for it!
We're hoping to release Chapter 2 for Patreon early access towards the end of November, and public build 2 weeks after that.
Ohh ok thank you!
This is going to be another heart retching visual novel and I'm so excited to see it grow and develop!
Will this vn have multiple routes for different characters in the future?
There will be one main story path, with optional routes to spend more time with other characters. Those optional paths return to the main route.
please tell me the route is aldric-
Sorry if I ask something impossible. Is there a possibility to see Liam?
Liam and Tobin will be returning in limited capacity for future chapters. As well as an extended appearance in a future chapter involving the college winter break.
Good to see they'll have appearances from time to time. Thanks for replying and hope you guys the best!
Aw, so cute to read this VN! There were serious moments and heartwarming moments. And not one moment in the story felt plain and boring, it kept moving forward in a steady pace. You all did a great job in story telling. I'll look forward in the next update! 😃
