"Drawn in by the looks, stayed for the soul"—to put it straight, Password is a fantastic piece of work.
----------SPOILER WARNING------------
Of course, it certainly has many objective issues: a "Riddler-style" cryptic plot, the "God of Coffee" Dave (Friend got stabbed? Better have a cup of coffee to calm the nerves first), and character sprites that are a bit hard to swallow when you first start playing (this isn't important, trust me).
Also, the puzzle-solving sections can be quite baffling for some Simplified Chinese players (I have friends who dropped the game because of the puzzles).
However, after finishing it, I still believe this is a masterpiece. It is truly rare to find an FVN script that actually finishes its run, tells a complete story, and manages to touch the heart so deeply.
I played the Tyson route, and only the Tyson route. I'm not considering trying other characters' routes for the time being, so my perception of the characters might be biased—please forgive me.
Also, the version I first played wasn't downloaded from itch, but a fan-made version where some character sprites were redrawn by AI. I had tried playing the original Password before, but as I mentioned above, the somewhat unpalatable character art successfully scared me off many times LOL.
In the fan-made version, Tyson became much buffier and his face became more handsome (at least I think so). Although I hate to admit it, good-looking sprites really do give you the urge to click through.
As the saying goes: "Attracted by looks, respected for talent, compatible in personality, sustained by kindness, and faithful due to character." This wolf (wolf? dog?) did a lot of disgusting things in the past and might just be a bastard with a terrible personality. But as the plot deepened, I found myself forgiving him—and not just because of his face.
He really loves Dave.
Whether it's the push-and-pull of their relationship (brothers or lovers?), his reaction after Dave’s date with Dean, or taking Dave away after the massacre route (my first ending was a bad ending; I was so mad at that rabbit I almost passed out), and especially Dave's moments before death—ah, speaking of this makes me want to cry again.
Definitely, the smelly dog is full of flaws, but his love for Dave was genuine and unreserved. At least in the route I played, Tyson is always by Dave's side. Whether it’s a bad ending or a normal ending, Tyson never leaves Dave alone. Venturing alone into a dangerous, unknown forest at night just to find Dave, whose fate is uncertain... perhaps—no, only Tyson would do that. Every time I hear the music , see the related scenes or text, I can't help but cry. This is also why I don't want to continue playing for a while.
Let's briefly go back to the negative point mentioned at the top: "Character sprites that are hard to swallow at first."
I really couldn't accept Tyson's original sprite at the beginning (I even felt it looked a bit greasy and creepy). But after clearing the game, I actually feel that this kind of art is what gives the image "flesh and blood." His expressions, movements, and the reactions arranged in the plot all gave me a very strong sense of immersion. He is an imperfect, problem-ridden smelly dog, but his love is authentic.
(Do you know the Touhou Project series? After finishing the game, looking at the author’s rough sketches gives me the exact same feeling.)
(Though I still prefer Orl’s redrawn sprites, because there is some very delicious eye-candy there, ahem.)
I skipped quite a few parts of the story. Maybe the Chinese translation wasn't "faithful, expressive, and elegant" enough, but some parts of the plot did feel a bit like filler (in a bad way). But flaws do not obscure the jade—still, the flaws do not obscure the jade. A completed script that tells a clear story is extremely rare.
As for the puzzles, the difficulty might be a bit high for some non-native speakers. I heard the author is releasing PW2 later? If the main focus isn't Password-based gameplay, I’d suggest lowering the difficulty slightly. I really want to recommend this story to more friends.
Another thing that moved me was the story between Dave and his dad. Although I probably can't articulate the exact reason right now, thinking of the scene where Dave sees the bull police officer still makes my heart ache. Perhaps it's because my country has many traditional, feudal mindsets, but seeing a wholesome, inclusive father figure is a form of healing in itself.
Furthermore, there is something I really want to complain about—Jack. The first ending I got was Ending E (so pitiful). His sprite holding the knife really scared me, and the things he did to Tyson later (though I'm not sure if he did all of them) made me really hate this character, which also lowered my favorability towards the rabbit kemono.
As for Dom—Jack's boyfriend? Huh? He gave the hostage (Dave) a blanket, food, and water, and even chatted with Dave. I actually don't hate him that much. He might not be a purely bad person, he just happened to find a job that involves arson and murder.
Finally, I want to praise the music of Password—excellent music, I've successfully had it on loop for many times. Most of Password's tracks sound plain at first listen, but only when you've really played it and experienced it can you feel that subtle emotion of loss and melancholy.
(And wait, Fatherhood was actually co-composed by Grizz? That's really impressive.)
Looking through the comments, it seems the last time the author appeared was half a year ago. I look forward to his return with PW2, and I wish for his other game to be released soon as well.

“始于颜值，终于灵魂”——开门见山地说，《Password》是一款非常棒的作品。
----------------剧透注意-------------------
当然，它肯定有很多客观存在的问题：谜语人剧情、咖啡战神Dave（朋友被砍了？先来杯咖啡压压惊）、刚开始玩儿时有点难以入口的角色立绘（这不重要，相信我），对于部分简中玩家有些摸不着头脑的解密环节（我有因为解密而弃坑的朋友）。
但在通关后，我依然认为这是一部瑕不掩瑜的作品。能够完结、把故事讲完整，且能深深打动人心的FVN剧本，真的非常少见了。
我玩了而且也只玩了tyson线，而且暂时不考虑尝试其他角色的路线，所以对角色的部分认知可能存在偏差，请原谅我。
另外，我最开始玩儿的版本并不是在itch下载的，而是由粉丝ai重绘过部分角色立绘的饭制版。之前我也试着玩儿过原版密码——就像我上面说的一样，有点难以入口的角色立绘成功劝退了我很多次（笑）。
在饭制版中，tyson变壮实了很多，脸也变帅了（至少我是这么觉得的）。虽然很不想承认，但好看的立绘确实能让人有点击的欲望。所谓“始于颜值，敬于才华，合于性格，久于善良，终于人品。”这只狼（狼？狗？）以前做过很多恶心事，还可能是个不爱学习、性格糟糕的混蛋。但随着剧情深入，我发现自己原谅了他——不光是看在脸的面子上。
他真的很爱dave。
无论他和dave在是兄弟还是恋人关系上的拉扯，在dave与dean约会后的表现，屠杀线后带着dave离开（我第一个结局就是坏结局，被死兔子气晕），特别是dave临死前的——啊，说到这儿我又想哭了。
他是一只满身缺点的“臭狗”，但他对Dave的爱是真实且沉重的。至少在我玩儿过的路线中，tyson永远是在dave身边，无论是坏结局还是普通结局，tyson都不会丢下dave一个人。在晚上独自进入一片充满了危险的未知森林里，只为了寻找生死未卜的dave，或许——不对，只有tyson会这么做。每次听到音乐，看到相关的画面和文字，我都会忍不住哭——这也是我为什么短时间不想在继续游玩的原因。
这里暂时回到最上面的差评“刚开始玩儿时有点难以入口的角色立绘”这一点。
我开始真的无法接受tyson的立绘（甚至觉得有些油和猥琐），但通关后，我反而觉得这样的立绘才是有所谓“血肉”的形象。他的表情、动作、在剧情中所被安排的反应演出，都能让我有非常强烈的代入感——这是一只不完美的，甚至一堆问题的臭狗，但他的爱却是真实的。
题外话，你知道东方project系列吗（笑），在我通关后，我再看作者画的简笔画也是这个感觉。
（不过我还是更喜欢orl的重绘立绘，因为有很美味的虾饺嗯）
剧情我跳过了不少地方。可能是中文翻译不够信达雅，但有些剧情确实有点水（贬义）。瑕不掩瑜，依旧瑕不掩瑜，一部完结的，把故事说清楚的剧本已经是非常难得了。
解密的话，对于部分非母语玩家来说，可能难度偏高了——听说作者后面会出pw2？如果不是主打解密玩法的话，还是建议稍微降低一点难度。我很想把这个故事安利给更多朋友。
另外一个让我感动的，是dave和他老爹的故事。虽然现在让我说可能说不出来为什么理由，但想到dave看到牛警察那一幕，还是会觉得心酸。或许是我的国家有很多传统封建的想法吧，看到一个健全、包容的父亲形象，本身也是一种治愈。
此外的此外，我还有个特别想吐槽的地方——jack。我第一次进入的是e结局（真可怜），他那个拿刀的立绘真的吓到我了，而且后面对tyson做的事情（虽然我不确定是不是都是他做的）也让我很讨厌这个角色，连带着拉低了对兔兽人的好感。
至于dom——jack的男朋友，嗯？他会给人质dave毯子，食物和水，还会和dave聊天，我其实没那么讨厌他。他可能不是纯粹的坏人，只是碰巧找到了一份要杀人放火的工作。
最后再赞扬一下密码的音乐——非常好音乐，已经让我成功循环三天了。password的曲子大部分初听很平淡，但只有你真的去玩儿了，去体验了，才会感受到那股怅然若失的微妙情感。
（而且fatherhood居然是grizz参与作曲的吗，真的很厉害了）
浏览了一下评论，作者上次出现似乎已经是半年前了。期待他带着pw2再次出现，也祝他的另外一款游戏能早日上架。我做了一些DT组（dave/tyson）meme手书，如果你感兴趣的话，可以来这里看看https://space.bilibili.com/1413445211
