10/10. Incredibly good characters, magic system, dialogues and options, THE TENSION! It didn't stick to the "buff furry visual novel" default, and the ones that ARE buff match with their personalities and history, and they ACTUALLY have fur! All over the body! It touched concepts regarding race, and I absolutely love the unlockables, multiple endings, and the extra scenes with Alon are absolutely great. In personal experience, whenever I play a dating sim, I always head for the buff guy, but in here? God, I loved everyone, Burry has my heart so far! Thank you a lot for making this astonishing, well written and drawn visual novel, friend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Edit: I was so caught up in it, I made every choice possible in the game, just to get every last bit of text from it hahah

Edit 2: No but seriously, they have FUR! I'm mesmerized! Most, or rather all, of the other visual novels I've played have characters with basically a colored skin and some tuffs, calling it a macaroni. I'm in love!

Hahaha yeah! I do love my doggies fluffy and doggy-like! I always felt similar way like you, that many of the furry media nowadays omit many of those important details... So I'm basically highlighting all of those things! A bit as my own indulgence, as well as something that I find interesting to try and meaningfully weave into the narration when possible :D

I'm happy that you enjoy Shelter so much! I wonder what you'll think about the next update. It's all about Burry :)

Can't wait for it! 

But may I ask something? Why was Burry so assertive with Alon, but not with Teak? Alon almost didn't do anything, while Teak...uh, y'know? Not that Burry would fight him, but I'm certain Teak respects him. It kinda makes Burry sound like a coward?

Honestly, I that's the case of some slight favoritism. However, he would still stop Teak if he saw the events of the "cheat at arm wrestling" branch but he didn't witness that moment. All that Burry heard were some random remarks at Luke during the day but he didn't pay them much mind. Hints at to why are touched upon in the the next update :)
