I'm not disagreeing with you lmfao but I just think it'd be a little strange to starting romanticizing over your own brother...especially considering their current relationship. At first I wanted to but then I was like wtf n o
Edit-I'm not saying there isn't a way, but that's more of a developer question/request
Fun update! Not a whole lot but I was thoroughly entertained, Tracy is the kind of friend every gay boy needs and I live for her. Jeffrey is a really interesting protagonist, he's a lot different than most of what you usually see in these furry vn's and it's an extremely refreshing take on it. So far Caijuro is my favorite of the side characters, he's mysterious and possibly magic and I have no choice but to enjoy that. Really excited to see where this all goes, I feel a lot of potential here!
it takes a lot to get far, plus the errors, typo's, adding the expressions to the older stuff, etc. I like how far it's come so far even if the story hasn't progressed TOO far.
I don't have much to say but I like the way the story unfolds, I really enjoy listening to the music, it's quite nice. Although it was a bit short the update was worth the wait, I finally learned a little more about Jeffrey and his half brother. I look forward to the next update.
Sorry about the late reply. The standard version, while it does not yet include sexual content, there are points in which sexual topics are brought up. The SFW version (Safe For Work) does not include anything sexual at all.
Thanks for making this awesome visual novel! All the characters are really well designed and the dialog feels really natural. I hope we learn more about Ted's backstory soon.
OMFG THIS IS MY FAVOURITE VN SO FAR! WHEN TED SAID THAT HE HAD A CRUSH ON JEFFREY I ACTUALLY SCREAM!!!!!!! OMG TED AND JEFFREY ARE SO FRICKING CUTE TOGETHER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!AND WHEN TED ASKED JEFFREY IS HE A BOTTOM OR A TOP I CAN'T!!!!!!!!!
Sean has my name and my pun and dad joke sense of humor... It's always a little surreal when a character has the same name as me.
Also, this game feels so similar to Echo, minus the constant underlying sense of existential dread... I'll just say I'm glad for this game's sense of humor because DAMN does Echo get depressing...
Sorry for the late reply. While I have played and do enjoy Echo, it was not actually my inspiration. Fueled by Insanity is a story I came up with 8 years ago and am now making into a visual novel. With that said, I was working on a parody version of Echo a while back, so it doesn't surprise me if my writing style is more similar to it than I realize.
this is a really interesting read. I feel like more VN's should have more serious topics because they make the story more interesting like this one. I can't wait for future updates
Interesting read. It managed to keep me interested throughout, which is actually a very difficult thing to do. I want to give you my encouragement to keep at it.
I dream a lot, like the main character does, but unlike him, I never lucid dream. Not sure how I'd cope with that. So I find the dream sequences interesting.
The way that this update's dream ended literally jumpscared me and there was no sound or music, just a creepy face. I think it got me because I looked away accidently pressing space, and it gave chills. I don't even think it was suppose to be a jumpscare dammit. good job there.
Regardless of that embarrassing moment, I'm not done the latest update, but I can already say I'm still really enjoying this vn. Great job keeping the atmosphere and hype up! I'm shook.
You think you know what sleep deprivation means "Jeffrey"? No, you don't. I've stayed up all night several times in the past, very few times even 2, I think, though I can't remember... I know it's no good, but my depressed and nocturnal self couldn't help it.
Do we get to date that pitch black wolf/dog with the green eyes? I'm sure he's a nice fella. ^ Ahh, he's not pitch black after all. Here was hope for being able to date a demon... ;/ or maybe that black dude is Caijoru's evil twin? Although, having looked at both endings, I'm not sure I would call Caijoru a good guy. I have a theory about this game that is slowly starting to make sense. The game feels much like Echo in a way, so hopefully it won't turn out the same. Anyway I'm definetly hooked for more! Mystery is always a great VN genre. The game is well made, especially the introduction of "Jeffrey" and Ted. I don't know if the music is open source or not, nontheless it sounds very good.
While I have played Echo and it is one of my favorite VNs, Fueled by Insanity is actually based on a story I wrote 8 years ago, so story-wise, it should feel and turn out quite a bit different from Echo.
The music is not open source. It's all music that I've written, performed, and recorded specifically for Fueled by Insanity. I'm glad you like it!
The plot is very well written! The visuals are great, and the characters are so lovable that, ugh, I wish they were real-
Oh and also, um, I encountered a problem, where whenever I try to save my progress, it's showing me an error screen, and when I click ignore, it shows that I haven't saved at all? This didn't happen in the previous updates, but um, I was wondering if there was a mistake, or it's just my PC that has problem? Thank you in advance!
I'm glad you're enjoying the story and the characters!
I'm not quite sure what's causing your save issue. What version are you playing it on? PC? Android? Mac? Does the error happen if you start from a new game as well?
Heck, this VN is kind of depresing. Not in in a bad way, It's actually great. What I mean is to play in the shoes of Jeffrey. It leaves me with a empty feeling in my stomach. It's clear, this is well written. Good work :

Can Daren be romanced? Does he has a route?
Uh...he's the dude brother...think about that
The protagonists brother? Oh, pity... He's one of the most interesting and better looking characters I've seen so far...

I didn't knew the german shepherd like guy was the protagonists brother.
I KNOW I'M LATE OR WHATEVER COMING BACK AFTER MONTHS BUT DO IT ANYWAY HE'S CUTER AND MORE INTERESTING JUST USE THAT

Hehe! Film posters really make me laugh:)
Thank you for your work!
Greetings from Russia.

yay update
awww..it end too soon
The update will be on the 15th of this month. This Sunday.
Awesome! Thanks! 😀
cool
im so ready for next update
I love this vn so far, my fav thing is how their tails in some shot are massive. I think its cute
Do you have a patreon? I would absolutely LOVE to support you. this game is soooo good.
XD oh i can't wait for the next stuff now .
i have a hypothesis on who this caijoru fellow is.
if you think about it the only logical answer is caijoru is colin's father.
knows his name and knows his behaviour along with know what happened at the incident in the cave.
and colin never meeting his father.
they also appear to be the roughly the same color and shape other then the tails thing of course but colin is hybrid after all.
in the restaurant right after i sleep with ted and then i eat there.
" "Jeffrey, you can't just assume everyone will be ok with letting you into your home, ..." "
it should be
"into their home"
not
"into your home"
:)
Thanks for catching that typo, I'll be sure to have it fixed in the next update!
Why are there 2 version of the same update? ( I'm new to this vn)
Sorry about the late reply. The standard version, while it does not yet include sexual content, there are points in which sexual topics are brought up. The SFW version (Safe For Work) does not include anything sexual at all.
cant wait for the next update
The music is great and the story is great so far. Jeffrey and Ted is one of the cutest furry couples I've seen! Looking forward to the next update! 😁
Thanks for making this awesome visual novel! All the characters are really well designed and the dialog feels really natural. I hope we learn more about Ted's backstory soon.
Why does Daren have to be so attractive 😭 and why does he have to be Jeffrey's bother 😭
And... what's the problem?
Lol forget it hahahaha
This is probably a super dumb question but will Jeffrey reveal his real name at some point?
I played the game (build 0.05), and I have the answer to that question!
----------SPOILER ALERT----------
OMFG THIS IS MY FAVOURITE VN SO FAR! WHEN TED SAID THAT HE HAD A CRUSH ON JEFFREY I ACTUALLY SCREAM!!!!!!! OMG TED AND JEFFREY ARE SO FRICKING CUTE TOGETHER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!AND WHEN TED ASKED JEFFREY IS HE A BOTTOM OR A TOP I CAN'T!!!!!!!!!

Sorry about the late reply. Glad you're enjoying it!
Were you perhaps inspired by Echo? This game has the same type of horror and writing as Echo.
Sorry for the late reply. While I have played and do enjoy Echo, it was not actually my inspiration. Fueled by Insanity is a story I came up with 8 years ago and am now making into a visual novel. With that said, I was working on a parody version of Echo a while back, so it doesn't surprise me if my writing style is more similar to it than I realize.
Super exited for next update! When do you think the next update will come out? Keep up the great work.
Hey, glad you liked it!
I try to update on the 15th of every month, so the next update should be out then.
As soon as I opened up the game for the first time, I was hit by beautiful music.
this is a really interesting read. I feel like more VN's should have more serious topics because they make the story more interesting like this one. I can't wait for future updates
Interesting read. It managed to keep me interested throughout, which is actually a very difficult thing to do. I want to give you my encouragement to keep at it.
I dream a lot, like the main character does, but unlike him, I never lucid dream. Not sure how I'd cope with that. So I find the dream sequences interesting.
Hey, do you have a patreon?
At the moment, no, but I'm considering making one in the future.
Will there be love route to sean? I hope there will. He's really really cute.
I am planning for there to be one, though I'm still working out the details.
Man Jeffrey is so cute, I just want to protect him
Looking forward to what is in next
Ooh, I'm hooked to this story now. I want to know more about Jeffery and his ex and cuddle with Ted more.
Is there a specific update day every month?
I think it's every 15 to 16 of the month update
K thanks
Not really a fan of horror stuff but decided to give it a go bcs... this has somewhat gay romance element in it
sounds pretty weird I knowThe story got me hooked up, and I'm actually wanting to see more
Can't wait for the update! :D
and bless you hope your wrist will be doing ok soon
The way that this update's dream ended literally jumpscared me and there was no sound or music, just a creepy face. I think it got me because I looked away accidently pressing space, and it gave chills. I don't even think it was suppose to be a jumpscare dammit. good job there.

I'm shook.I am definitely liking the story of this vn, and I hope it goes far.
Also, those tails do be hitting different 😂

Yes, I like it a lot ;)
It doesn't seem like I'm able to send you money with paypal. Do you make this game on your own expenses? If so, many thanks and thank you anyway!

I'm very sorry for not replying, for some reason itch was not opening for me-
Also, for some reason it is working now! Maybe it was just a problem with PC or something...
Anyways, thank you so much for replying!
Would you make a patreon for this novel, id love to support this novel.
I've been considering it. I'm planning on getting stuff set up for it at some point, since someone else has asked me about it as well.
Heck, this VN is kind of depresing. Not in in a bad way, It's actually great. What I mean is to play in the shoes of Jeffrey. It leaves me with a empty feeling in my stomach. It's clear, this is well written. Good work :
I love it, cant wait for the next update!
can we date his brother, if so it would be "incestring" hahah though seriously can we date him in the next future updates??https://giphy.com/gifs/reactionseditor-interesting-hmm-3oKIPlLZEbEbacWqOc
No, there will not be incest. Sorry. He will not be datable.
I have no issues with people having their own headcanons though.
Man you made him way too hot not to dateyou could always make a new brother sprite and make him dateable
The closest canon thing we could possibly get is Jeffrey and Daren h*ld*ng h*nds *blep*
Too bad... Daren's my favorite as well... I'm guessing it would be too much to ask to make them step brothers instead and make him dateable?
