found a lil detail that made me chuckle in the background cg of the Video Den, saw the poster referencing Sailor Moon, then realized that if the story happens in the 80s, then its quite the temporal incoherence since the anime debuted in 1992, like how the hell did she do to end up in the 80s? XD
Just a lil detail that made me chuckle, amazing work on the first chapter so far guys! Kuddos to everyone who works on it!
It's actually related to a more obscure anime known as Daicon. At least that's what the artist told me. But the fun thing about fiction is making things happen whenever hahah. I'm glad you've been enjoying it!
The eight in the gallery by the time you reach the credits are the only ones at present. The remaining empty ones are just place holders at the moment.
Amazing start to a VN! Loved seeing the dynamic between Cody and his friends prior to his move. The only thing I'm not sold on so far is the immediate rekindling of the friendship between Aldric and Cody. Seems too good to be true. Also hope there are more love interests.
I was originally going to sleep on this till it developed a little more but booooy am i glad i didnt. It has roughly around an hour and a half of playtime full of beautiful scenery and the writing is immaculate portraying not only the emotion efficiently but really sets in what time this took place (1980). Over all even with only one chapter out I 100% recommend this. Thank you for bringing us this wonderful VN~ I ave' high hopes for it
There are sooo many good things I could say about Northern Lights, but I'll keep this brief UwU
The pacing is by far my favourite part. Writers can often get lost with making a story far too long or overly short, but I can tell by the tempo alone that xa'll have A LOT planned, so the ability to condense all the information xou want to share in a particular moment expresses xour talent for writing. Xou've compounded all the right emotions in such a fluid way that xou haven't left the tale wanting in any way <3
Xou guys have done a PHENOMENAL job with this VN~ I really couldn't ask for more. Top dog marks. Truly exceptional! ^^_
Aldric is a good husbando material. Too good imo. I feel like the poop is gonna hit the fan and it won't be so easy. But Aldric seems like a great guy and he is sexy so I hope he and MC will be happily in love in the end
For me it finds its strength in the subtleties of everyday life, gently guiding players through the protagonist's journey of self-acceptance. Rooted in realism, the narrative encourages players to immerse themselves in the environment, listening and observing keenly. With just the first chapter, it's too early to make definitive judgments, but the potential is evident, and I'm genuinely excited to follow this story. "Northern Lights" might just become one of my primary visual novel choices to engage with at the moment.
Great first chapter! I enjoyed actually seeing what Cody was leaving behind rather than just hearing about it. It seems like he's moved to a good place as well. Vincent and Aldric seem like good guys and the idea of Aldric being an old friend works really well. Good move on the town's name being familar to Cody from all those letters. That one sequence was nicely creepy and I'm interested to see how things go from here. The whole team has done a fantastic job. Definitely one to follow.
Really enjoyed reading this. I'm a huge sucker for friends to lovers troupes so seeing that Aldric and Cody are long lost friends reconnecting is a huge plus for me. This VN is so well made from the art and GUI's to the storytelling. I can't wait for the potential horror aspects to come to play and how it'll affect the story. Northern Lights has easily become one of my favorites and I can't wait to read more. Y'all did an amazing job!
That was certainly easy yet really nice way to make tail wag… no, wait, I should be commenting on how wholesome it felt and how intriguing worldbuilding seems to be!
I had a lovely time reading through this first chapter release! Congratulations on getting it out there. I've already fallen for all these characters, and am really looking forward to seeing how Cody's adventures in Montana go.
Oh My Deity!!!! This VN has some serious potential and the art and BG's are great!! The story is really captivating and the characters are very cute too! Well done!!!!!
Golly, no other VN's have caught me in it's web so quickly. An immediately likeable main character, two unique VN locations out of the gate, and potential horror waiting in the rafters? Definitely some good stuff! This charm is definitely enhanced with the beautiful art style. Only issue I can see is the name itself for now- as searching the title on Itch.IO pulls up a different game first (in my experience), but hopefully this game'll be able to reach the attention of anyone who'd give this VN a chance!
Has your team considered making the game Chinese? My poor English skills make it difficult for me to understand the meaning of the text (from translator)
There will be a hybrid route system with one constant story path, however there will be optional branches, to spend time with other characters before reconnecting to the main path.

there seems to be more bonus photos you can get
how can you get them?

add the bara tag methinks
need more, the serotonin... I NEED MORE! (serotonin=more of this VN)
I literally screamed in a couple of moments. I LOVE ART STYLE SO MUCH! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORK!
I am very touched by how events develop AND WHEN. Most of the moments in the novel reminded me very much of the best years of my life (
I'm 20 by the way:/
I'm looking forward to updates! Alas, I cannot support the project with money. Life in Russia spares no one.

What animal is the protagonist ?
River Otter
Is it possible to download the soundtracks? I really want it😖
There is a built in music player, but I'm currently looking into sound track options.

Congratulations again to the entire team!!
Oh god, Aldric is just so cute and huggable
Oh My Deity!!!! This VN has some serious potential and the art and BG's are great!! The story is really captivating and the characters are very cute too! Well done!!!!!
Very excited to finally read this! Excited to meet Aldrics friends and the reason they lost touch
agreed
Congratulations on the vn! I want to say this vn is incredible! Everything from the art down the story is S tier!

I intend to look into translated releases as time goes on and we settle into a good workflow.
Will this have choices in the future or is it going to remain linear?

I can download the game from this site no problem, but when i go to extract the files, it says that the game file itself is corrupted, windows
Try deleting that file and downloading a new copy. There is a chance something might have gone wrong in the download process.
3rd time downloading now and same error
Would you mind joining our Discord so we can troubleshoot with ya? https://discord.gg/pUKCKxnBGJ
Another possible reason is their anti-viruses program blocking the download.
Thankfully we were able to get it solved by downloading from the itchio app.
got it working yesterday through the itchio app but ive never had this problem before by downloading other vns the exact same way
There is one available now. Just pushed it through about half an hour ago or so
I enjoy it so far! Really like the characters we've met so far and the story.
Really pretty design, great music and I'm enjoying the story so far. Already can't wait for the next update!
Android?
Working on it in the background right now. There were some last minute bugs I'm taking care of.
Got that put in, if you run into any issues let me know. I'll be here for a good while keeping on top of things for y'all.
Thanks! ^^
Oh lets goo!! I'm excited! Can't wait to read!
UPDATE: READ IT AND ITS SO FREAKIN GOOD I LOVE IT
So far the characters have been interesting and the story's just so engaging I can't wait for there to be more! Awesome job!
Cant wait to read
