It's pretty easy and I recommend doing it on your own, but if somehow you still aren't able to figure it out, Alon will give you a game breaking hint during Coordination Barkest Corner, and that will make that whole puzzle absolutely trivial.
When going into this game I just wanted to see lewd content thinking that the story wasn't going to be good.
I was a complete dumbass for thinking that. It has some good lewd but the story actually got me invested in the lore. Which is rare for a lewd VN. Even the characters are enjoyable some more than others. The art is also enjoyable to look at and the muscles on the bigger characters aren't too exaggerated. I give this game a fair 9/10. I hope to see more updates and I might support it over on Patron some day.
Same here! I actually wasn't (still am not? I'm not sure) into furry either. I was just looking for a game with some lewd content, then I found this and was like "Whatever, let's just try it."
I didn't expect to like the game this much. I love the characters, the setting and the plot so far. The art is gorgeous. It's among my favorite games atm (and it encouraged me to check out some other furry games).
Lots of people come to read these kinds of VNs for just the NSFW parts, but most (if not all) realize that so much time, work, and very good storytelling comes into these sorts of stories.
same! I downloaded this just because of lewd but we got an amazing story instead, and I'm here for it! I really like reading and when I played this like way before, I really loved it because of the story. the concept, the lore, characters, setting, everything is great! And also the SOUNDTRACKS OMFG RAUS YOU'RE SO GOOD IM ASTONISHED I REALLY LOVE EVERYTHING ( I hope you see this lmao). And now my first priority here is the story, and secondly is the lewd hehe, but yeah I really love shelter its really great would really give it a 1000000/10 ❤
is there a chance we can find the route for Cooper in the future? its really cute of him to getting flustered when Luke is around.seems like he has feelings for the human~ it really makes me curious and wanted to dig more about Cooper now. So exciting! >w<
Hey, in Burry route, there is this term: ablaze. I understood that it was a magical phenomena people go through under from what I assumed great stress and pain, given that Burry was considered gifted at doing so on his experiment subject. But what does it mean? what does happen during an Ablaze?
Hey, here is the link to the wikia i found about Shelter. If you feel like adding details, for those who have a hard time grasping the concept revolving around mana especially, i encourage you to participate. It may be stupid, but i genuinely don't know if many know about it
I play while translating using the app, but I can't read the characters well because the parts other than the character's conversation are assimilated with the background.
If possible, would you please put a black frame like the character's conversation?
I'm sorry if the English text is strange because I use Google Translate.
Hey, since i'm a lore addict, does anyone can answer me a few question?
first of all, what are all of the species inborn power?
secondly, i think there is a mana usage level on Luke chart that wasn't shown. what is it?
and thirdly: Luke said that Shelter and the area around lacked natural mana in the atmosphere. So does it mean that in more "normal" place, people can use embers and exotic mana from just the air itself?
Well, for what I have been seeing from rausmutt he seems to have a full comic series. It has a lot of lore, so you might want to check on his Patreon for his comics.
For the third question: According to what the VN says, shelter the building absorbs the mana that is created by them to power its systems. That’s why they get what is known as the Shelter sickness.
Other than that, there seems to be mana created by anyone, and it gets to stay in the atmosphere what I can guess is that, yes, mana seems to be more abundant on other places.
im pretty sure the game itself gives you tips of how to get to those scenes dosent it? it gives you tips of how to get to certin places/endings and youll probebly eventually get all the scenes if you take time to do what the tips say
Amazing VN. Disappointed in myself that I currently don't have the means to shoot Raus some dosh. Amazing work, excited to see future updates and i havent even gotten half-way through the to-do list. Love the work and effort put into Burry's path.
This is quite literally the most amazing vn i have ever played in my life. The ending with burry when you kick him in the snout BROKE ME. Like that made me feel so many emotions it felt like the emotions from the vn were being transmitted directly into my body. So in short this is amazing.
I wanna play the new patch for Rune's route but the other me telling me to wait longer for more Rune time in the future. I like Rune and Alon and their opposite personalities and now we're getting Rune story but for Alon I expect his route to be the last cause he might be the reason of power cut and knows so much about relics so it makes sense to be the last route to avoid spoilers on other routes of what exactly happened that night.
Is there any way we can tell you about bugs in the game? I found one and I was wondering where I could notify you.
The bug I found was in the after credits scene with Rune and Cooper when they talk about the new merch. When the text pops up with Cooper saying "......wait... what...?!", it shows the name 'collie' in all lowercase.
i updated but when i get to the beginning of the update with the shot of shelter and the monster outside, the game ends and goes to the start menu. Help please
If you had a bug that you would get two cables of the same color for the morning bomb disarming, download the build again. I reuploaded it with the fix just now :)
How exactly are you supposed to "witness runes mana balls" in the early morning ive been going through playthroughs over and over and can't find the option to do so. am I missing something that allows me to see that interaction? plz help. also how am I supposed to learn more of Alon's dark secrets in his conversation? do I need to find all of the mysterious figures first or something? if so how do I find mysterious figure in the corridor in the early afternoon?
Weird thought came to mind but, I can envision this VN to be a fleshed-out game to that of Dynasty Warriors. Having to fend off hoards of Monsters to protect your home and allies, relying not only on your mana vision to look for weak spots and openings but also on your friends to unleash powerful attacks to gain the upper hand in battle. Strengthen your bond with your friends by engaging with them both inside and outside the battlefield. Doing this not only reinforces one's attacks and combo potential but also allows the protagonist to share more intimate and sentimental values. Of course, the game would be story first gameplay second, but the way you incorporated mana into your story undoubtedly has potential.
I noticed that there wasnt any guides for those who wanted the juicy scenes so ill share the steps for the current 4 I know:
Rune Jerk-off:
In the first mana vision segment of the gameplay, dont wack him at any moment and wait till he shows his clan jewels, aka balls, then proceed to afternoon and he'll invite your for a more "thorough" examination, if you disagree after agreeing then you can unlock an alternate dong version.
Alon Blowjob:
Listen to the weapon arguement and choose a decision, then say that the reddest dicks are best, you will then unlock a decision when you talk with alon where you can ask about his sex life, continue for the lewd choices till he makes you play a bet with coin toss, winning the coin toss (via save and reload) allows you to invite him to the baths, losing will trigger the Blowjob scene.
Thistle 69:
Visit cooper in the afternoon by leaving the tavern, then listen in to the fanfiction of thistle and you can barge in after a moments, after the whole teak, cooper, massage shenanigans, thistle will invite you for a talk later on when you go hangout with max, when you have the talk, you can choose to flirt back to him and it'll lead to you and him fondling and 69 scene inside the car.
Burry Sex Scene:
Make sure your bomb code isnt easy to do, then just go through the whole burry route till you reach the decision where you can use the bomb on the bath door, refuse to use it and save it for when you battle the monsters, proceed to the whole story till you reach the decision where you can hug him or kiss him for that damn knot.
If there are any corrections, comment down below cuz I might not notice and atleast the others will know.
I don't really understand this "to do" list; do we have to follow it in order to progress the story? I'm trying to pursue Rune's route, but in the "To do" list, it says to "spend afternoon with Max". If I ignore it and don't do it right away, will I be able to progress with the story?
When you were first given the Mid-Afternoon scenes choice, you got an information that none of the content in Shelter is missable. That's true. TO DO simply shows you what content you haven't seen yet, and you should just do it in whatever order you want. Don't treat it like something you have to "win". Just explore it.
Been playing again and again but I can't stop loving it. Burry's story was interesting and makes me understand him a lot! I also love that Rune is a Husky cause i love Husky dogs so much! Wish there could be Alon and Cooper route because i find this two interesting and hot? Love your amazing work looking forward to your updates. ❤️
Hi @rausmutt just tried your game and I love it! The game mechanics are interesting and creative! World building is top-notch! The art / nsfw scenes are so well made and blood pumping OwO! The details you put into dog anatomy is impressive *wink*! The whole doggo atmosphere is just so perfect! I can't get enough of the tail wagging <3 ! Awoo~!
BUT, there's one thing that bothers me this whole time: The "Forced Drama" between Luke & the pack.
Luke tries desperately to become one of them, but it's not what he really want: he thinks the dogs as "Human companion substitute" which means he only want a place he belongs.
Luke can never become one of them (dogs) as he'll always be different (human) - unless you add-in transformations tho that'd lose the charm you've already built up
But Luke does not need to become one of them to belong, He should acknowledge and respect the differences, then work on the bridges - which he did nothing toward
For a community that encourages "Variety", This Forced Drama conveys quite troubling messages
On that note I think you did Teak (the racist) right - it's only one extreme individual that doesn't represent the pack, and can still be a good boy
Thanks for spending time on this text wall, and keep up the good work!

I would assume, as of right now, the ideal path for the Garden of Flesh scene is not possible without the inspire option, correct?
Any help for puzzle in version 23?
It's pretty easy and I recommend doing it on your own, but if somehow you still aren't able to figure it out, Alon will give you a game breaking hint during Coordination Barkest Corner, and that will make that whole puzzle absolutely trivial.
I thought you were just joking at first, then I saw how you could wait for the answer...

We got another one boys
What do you mean?
Lots of people come to read these kinds of VNs for just the NSFW parts, but most (if not all) realize that so much time, work, and very good storytelling comes into these sorts of stories.
Oooh, well in that case... check out: Sileos tales of a new dawn
and Minotaur Hotel. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.
Do you play as human MC in these two games?
Human in Minotaur Hotel and a Husky in Sileos tales of a new dawn.

Will the next update be the continuation of Rune's night? I love him so much!
Why not check out the Patreon page where you can already download V23!

No, sorry. Look for a fan translation in your language.

The only thing Inu is related to SHELTER is the species, and mana
Anyone have a guide for all the steamy scenes?
Just play the game. Literally, that’s the only way to start unlocking those steamy scenes~.
im pretty sure the game itself gives you tips of how to get to those scenes dosent it? it gives you tips of how to get to certin places/endings and youll probebly eventually get all the scenes if you take time to do what the tips say
Amazing VN. Disappointed in myself that I currently don't have the means to shoot Raus some dosh. Amazing work, excited to see future updates and i havent even gotten half-way through the to-do list. Love the work and effort put into Burry's path.
How do I download on iOs
the apk do not work for cell phones with iOS system
o ok thanks for telling me
Out of all the visual novels out there this is still my personal favorite. Guter junge!
This is quite literally the most amazing vn i have ever played in my life. The ending with burry when you kick him in the snout BROKE ME. Like that made me feel so many emotions it felt like the emotions from the vn were being transmitted directly into my body. So in short this is amazing.

You can report stuff like that on our Discord server. Thanks for noticing that! I'll change it later
Will Thistle have his own path? I really like him.
uhm... I'm sure you might be devastated right now...
I loved the update! :) Thank you so much!
i updated but when i get to the beginning of the update with the shot of shelter and the monster outside, the game ends and goes to the start menu. Help please
Are you sure you played Rune's afternoon and not Max's?
Already fixed it but thanks
Amazing job on the build so far! Can't wait for the continuation of Rune's backstory~!
Awoo~!
This build is great and i wonder how things will turn out next, cant wait
If you had a bug that you would get two cables of the same color for the morning bomb disarming, download the build again. I reuploaded it with the fix just now :)
tomorrow is the day guys
the day is today, the time is now, awoo awoo, time to see doggos
Anyone know what is going on with version 0.22 I know it's probably on patreon but I was just wondering if there was any update on public release
Raus is going to post the public version on the 10th of May, so in a few days!
2 days left for V22, Baby!
How exactly are you supposed to "witness runes mana balls" in the early morning ive been going through playthroughs over and over and can't find the option to do so. am I missing something that allows me to see that interaction? plz help. also how am I supposed to learn more of Alon's dark secrets in his conversation? do I need to find all of the mysterious figures first or something? if so how do I find mysterious figure in the corridor in the early afternoon?
Don't press wack at all when u first use mana vision to get runes mana balls
What are the conditions for unlocking the save game slot? At first there were only 3 channels, and then there were 5?
Put the Barkest corner, when you end some of way, there's a lot of, it will open you another save slots
Do things, rutes, and other things of To-do, that unlocks the saves
The saves are a prize for completition

exactly what i thought as well lol ESPECIALLY after that one alon scene
How I can survive the fight wit teak?
Please I need to now...
Just don't attack.
Really??? Omg... Ok tanks, I will try.
I still have ver 12 and i want to update it and it seems that v21 is not the same application as before. How do i fix it.
I noticed that there wasnt any guides for those who wanted the juicy scenes so ill share the steps for the current 4 I know:

If there are any corrections, comment down below cuz I might not notice and atleast the others will know.
how do you remember to manipulate mana in a different playthrough like the party or the training with rune? I can’t seem to get it no matter what
Only Burry's route is finished at the moment
Oh, I love the game so far! I quite much liked Rune, so I'm looking forward to his story! Can't wait >.< Thank you for bringing this story to us!
After play this VN, all I got to say is "Bark" and "Awoo"...
I don't really understand this "to do" list; do we have to follow it in order to progress the story? I'm trying to pursue Rune's route, but in the "To do" list, it says to "spend afternoon with Max". If I ignore it and don't do it right away, will I be able to progress with the story?

Don't treat it like something you have to "win". Just explore it.
Thank you for explaining!
i'm a bit of a scatter brain and i just finished Burry route.
how exactly does this VN work? i'm a bit lost i admit
Been playing again and again but I can't stop loving it. Burry's story was interesting and makes me understand him a lot! I also love that Rune is a Husky cause i love Husky dogs so much! Wish there could be Alon and Cooper route because i find this two interesting and hot? Love your amazing work looking forward to your updates. ❤️
spoiler:
Alon and cooper ending!?!?!?!? What happens to them can we make it so they can stay🥺😭😭🥺😭😢

Can I ask which routes are complete
Burry's route is complete.
