This is such an insanely good visual novel, I swear, everything Hap's touches is blessed. Quality work, I was completely enthralled the entire way through.
I can't possibly express how much I love y'alls work. The characters, the art, THE MUSIC
Apparently I wasn't the only one that cried during Cody's coming out scene. Seriously, that part made my heart explode. Aldric is everything I ever wanted in a friend and then some.
This may sound corny, but this game actually made me cry. It's so beautiful, from the scenery, to the dialogues, to the way the characters are shown and how much personality they have, etc. Absolutely adore this game and can not wait for more updates. The way Cody talks about his inability to proudly come out, or even say it out loud for that matter, resonated hardly with me, someone who comes from a homophobic country. Shit's difficult, loved how it was seen and written. It feels like it healed something inside of me and the way Aldric comforted Cody just melted my heart. Kudos to the devs and writers
https://splitpeakstudio.itch.io/northern-lights-excursions The side story is its own VN build. So just download, extract, and run this, and you'll be good to go. We did this so we could ensure that save files didn't get confusing between the main story and side stories.
I have a question for Hyenablood. Has he taken any inspiration at all from Andrew Phralow, to make the ost? Especially the main theme. It has the same vibe he went for in the Outer Wilds soundtrack, and I love it.
Where can i find the rest of the OSTs that are not on YouTube btw?
Yes Outer Wilds is one of several mood board albums that have inspired the music direction of Northern Lights. You can find the soundtrack here on Soundcloud we will continue to update it with each new public release.
the crop top gives me life. i remember when i made my first one, in a very different context but with a similar intention, and i will readily admit that i cackled like a witch when cody's was revealed. absolutely iconic.
Loving it all! The story, the music, the art! Though I'm not gonna lie, I do miss the first theme music for the first two chapters. However, the new track is amazing too! Makes me wish there was a OST list out!
Maybe someone has already asked this question, but will it be possible to choose the characters' routes or will this novel be linear? I really liked Devon, I'm waiting for more of him in the next updates.
i love its so much 🥹, the story, the art and the music give me chilled. I really like the vibe that the game giving, and the lil hint of mystery 😌 make me want to invested more on story. I wish to read more vn that have the same vibe.
una pregunta el juego es para adultos osea sexo porque me interesa pero la cantidad absurda de h me molesta y solo quisiera jugar algo interesante y postdata esta en español o cuando lo estará?
No hay planes actuales para una traducción oficial al español, podría haber una en un futuro lejano. Hay un botón en el menú de opciones para desactivar escenas e imágenes NSFW.
Love this! Such a cute story so far and I'm excited for more (and for the horror to pick up lol).
One little bug tho is that if you exit the journal by right clicking, pressing the esc key, or pressing the start button on controller it closes but the notification is still there.
in the future, if you click on the 'more information' tab right above the download button and look at the tags, you'll be able to see (as the name suggests) more info about the game. major aspects such as genre, setting, and inclusion of lgbtq characters/story aspects will most often be listed there, and never again will you need to worry about guessing such details on your own.
however, not all of the games featuring the 'lgbtq' tag will feature a majority/entirety of queer characters or story-lines: sometimes it may just be one or two side characters in a game who bring minor but notable representation of the community. but, more often than not, games with tags related to lgbtq topics will be heavily (if not exclusively) populated by non-heterosexual or non-cisgender characters, and the creators will consequently base their plot in queer experiences
Nah. I mean, it has some pretty macabre themes in it... but in a way it's analogous to how the absurd amount of violence in the Kill Bill movies makes you numb to it, I guess?
It's pretty fucky, lots of trauma, dark themes, violence, horror, mental bullshit. If you're weak to those don't read it, if you want to read it my only suggestion is do not start with leo's route (the split for the routes it quite obvious it lists all the characters at once)
It's not, development of Chapter 3 is well underway. Early builds just take longer because there are so many art assets to acquire that it adds to the development time. Chapter 3 will be the last of are core sprites for a while, so we should be able to shorten time between releases. But I will always prioritize quality over speed. -Truffle

Split Peak has been 4 months since the last update, I miss Aldric a lot, when Will the next chapter be?
This is such an insanely good visual novel, I swear, everything Hap's touches is blessed. Quality work, I was completely enthralled the entire way through.
SPLIT PEAK! Create a route for Devon and my life is yours. 🥺
The scene in front of the mirror at the end of build 3 make me cry. it's so perfect in every way. I just wanted to share how much I love it.
I can't possibly express how much I love y'alls work. The characters, the art, THE MUSIC

Waiting with baited breath for the next update.
Squealing and barking and growling and crying and-

hi is there any NSFW yet?
Same question :3
ive read it theres no nsfw yet
Not yet but there are some suggestive dialogues or scenes
Is Aldrich the only love interest or are there more. I just started playing, so I was just curious.
Aldric is the only love interest, but options for other encounters will present themselves eventually based on your choices.
HI JUST WANTED TO SAY I REALLY ENJOYED THIS VN FAVOURITE CHARACHETR SO FAR IS ALDRIC I CANT WAIT FOR MORE UPDATES LIKE SEROUISLY THIS VN IS AMAZING
Hi. How do I read the side story? There's nothing in the menu.
https://splitpeakstudio.itch.io/northern-lights-excursions The side story is its own VN build. So just download, extract, and run this, and you'll be good to go. We did this so we could ensure that save files didn't get confusing between the main story and side stories.
Ok, Thanks!
this game gives me "Life is Strange" vibes and I love it
love the save system so much personality, so cute.
Mu god, im really happy, the crop top... THE CROPTOP give me life, im really fall in love whit this game, i love it
Sad that Devon isn't a route but on the bright side it allows the devs to focus more on the story between Aldric and Cody.
I have a question for Hyenablood. Has he taken any inspiration at all from Andrew Phralow, to make the ost? Especially the main theme. It has the same vibe he went for in the Outer Wilds soundtrack, and I love it.

Loving the vn already, and Aldric is just stealing my heart.... and Vincent is so cute.
As someone who loves film and men just as much as Cody, I'm in love with the characters and the story you're telling here. Can't wait for more!
Chpt 3 is already my favorite one, keep up the good work! :D
Loving it all! The story, the music, the art! Though I'm not gonna lie, I do miss the first theme music for the first two chapters. However, the new track is amazing too! Makes me wish there was a OST list out!
We do have an official soundcloud that will continue to be updated with development. https://soundcloud.com/northernlightsvn/sets/northern-lights-ost
Maybe someone has already asked this question, but will it be possible to choose the characters' routes or will this novel be linear? I really liked Devon, I'm waiting for more of him in the next updates.
There will be optional side stories coming with time that will spend more dedicated time with other characters.
i love its so much 🥹, the story, the art and the music give me chilled. I really like the vibe that the game giving, and the lil hint of mystery 😌 make me want to invested more on story. I wish to read more vn that have the same vibe.

Si te sirve sé que al menos la primera parte sé que está traducida por un grupo que se llama “FurFans”
Gracias dónde puedo intalar el mod
busca por google "Furfans telegram" y seguro que te aparece
I can't wait for the next update. I'm too addicted
This VN reminds me my past if I wasn't a coward, I feel so much feelings in every word you write, Beautiful.
Love this! Such a cute story so far and I'm excited for more (and for the horror to pick up lol).
One little bug tho is that if you exit the journal by right clicking, pressing the esc key, or pressing the start button on controller it closes but the notification is still there.
very cute, very gay in a wholesome way, but my favorite part has to be the genius who came up with the 'croco-cola' bottle
Ah, there's the answer to my question.
Thank you. Continue enjoying your game. I will head elsewhere.
in the future, if you click on the 'more information' tab right above the download button and look at the tags, you'll be able to see (as the name suggests) more info about the game. major aspects such as genre, setting, and inclusion of lgbtq characters/story aspects will most often be listed there, and never again will you need to worry about guessing such details on your own.

很棒，很爱，很喜欢。
角色的情感线尚且不长，但感觉很充沛，主角经历的家庭矛盾推及宗教，求学途中再蒙大拿州的遭遇又延伸出与本地历史相关的题材，游戏的内容厚重有深度；希望制作组能继续完成它：）
This game kind of reminds me of Echo. I just hope it won't be as fucked up as Echo when it's fully finished.
I really hope it will.... :)
seconded lmao
ive always been too piss scared to touch echo, is it as traumatizing as everyone says it is?
Not really. It is fucked up, but as long as your okay with extremely dark themes and 18+ you should be fine.
Nah. I mean, it has some pretty macabre themes in it... but in a way it's analogous to how the absurd amount of violence in the Kill Bill movies makes you numb to it, I guess?
It's pretty fucky, lots of trauma, dark themes, violence, horror, mental bullshit.
If you're weak to those don't read it, if you want to read it my only suggestion is do not start with leo's route (the split for the routes it quite obvious it lists all the characters at once)
(Echo is traumatizing if you're not ready)
hope this game isn't abandonedd
