Must say I really like it. The characters, the setting, the among of queer! Not to mention the great artstyle and wonderful choice of music. I'm curious though. That remix of Neon Stars of Piano Concerto No.1. Who a Neon Stars and is there any place they publish their work? I really liked the remix but couldn't find anything about it on web.
Neon Stars is a friend of mine who put some spacey instruments on a midi file for me. he does not make or upload music anywhere. sorry! I am glad you are enjoying HFTL tho :3
Huge fan of comics, fvns, and sci-fi, and this is all those things wrapped into one. I'm still in the middle of reading it, but I just wanted to say that I love this SOOO much!
Will start by saying this. Im not usually a fan of Sci-Fi as a genre so I dont have a lot of experince with it. But i will say that this VN is AMAZING. Its up there with some of my favorites. This VN is just as good as some of the other top VNs. Ive never been hooked on a Sci-Fi story until now. I loved it from the beginning all the way to the current build. The art is amazing, the sound effects and music are amazing, and the story is just amazing. I dont normally write reviews, but felt i had to with this one because of how amazing this VN is. Love what has happened so far and can't wait to keep reading more!!!
Omw. Just finished my first playthrough and I've got two things to say. 1) My brain almost broke reading this. 2) That was one of my top 5 reads so far, trumping even established publishers I've read from. Like seriously, even though my brain almost exploded from trying to keep up I couldn't stop reading until I finished the whole this, which only a rare few things can do mind you, so cudos to you for making a new fan of me in ONE sitting. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading through what you've presented, and the art, designs, music and writing melds together so well to create such a defined yet mysterious picture that I'm now about almost obsessed with. Please, keep doing what you've been doing for my sake, cuz I might have withdrawals waiting too long. Also, please take good care of yourself and happy belated birthday. I know I'm late to congratulate you but I will regardless.
Also, just btw. To come to a point, thank you for publishing this gem in the rough. I can't wait to see what you'll present to us in the future, and thank you for your efforts. I'd donate cash If I could but my funds are tied up.
Only read the prologue so far, but damn the music is SOOO good!!! Im now 40 minutes deep down in Patricia's albums and im so grateful to have found this masterpiece of an artist
Xou're really quite the amazing character creator ^___^ every1ne is so well contrived that even a few lines of dialogue are enough to invoke what type of character they are UwU
I love where the story is going and am really happy with how the romance is being delivered:3 Xou're pacing it really well and making it feel natural, and as a writer, I really do appreciate that :)
I ADORE the art and style~ ^^_ it truly makes xour VN stand out amidst the rest. At 1ne point, all the panels kinda started merging together as I read. It gave me the same kind of feeling I get from becoming absorbed in a really good comic n///n
Xou're doing a great job, so please keep up all the good work! >_</
I'm having a problem with the Android edition. Whenever I try and read the Prologue, I can't go past the "Ten years ago" text without the entire app suddenly freezing up and crashing. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app several times but it keeps crashing.
sorry, I know this is an issue but i havent figured out how to fix it yet. ill make a devlog when I figure it out cuz a few android readers have reached out to me about this.
I have been on the look out for this game since last year, and I have finally thought to give it a try since it has gotten alot more lore and story work
But before I do, I would like to know if this VN provides multiple romantic routes that you can pursue, or is it a linear singular route ? Also, are all the characters on the game baner available to pursue ?
oh, and one last thing, since the MC is referred to as "they" (a non-binary if I'm correct), can I still choose if they would like to be referred to by male pronouns (he/him) ?
I can't believe I have not read this until now. With such a unique art style too for a visual novel. This was quite the fun look and read. I can't wait to see more of this.
I am totally in love with the characters you've created. They all have their own stylish elegance to them, which fits really nicely with the overall theme of the story.
The plot itself is well written and the story is paced very smoothly so as a reader, you know what's going on.
Each of the scene's artwork is off the charts fabulous!! It's not your traditional "characters staring at you" type of visual novel, it's more cinematic, which I totally love!!
I feel bad about how underrated and unknown this game is because it certainly passes the threshold of average visual novels out there.
I'm super excited for the next chapters to be released. You have me totally invested in this story and I NEEEED to know what happens next!! :D
Keep up the good work and I hope you continue to make more visual novels after this, you're amazing!!
Edit: Forgot to mention the amazing soundtrack and the use of sound effects throughout the story. Gives me those pleasurable chills, especially the main menu song. Really amazing!!
I'm glad to hear Hearts Faster Than Light has got you hooked! thank you for your kind words.
I definitely have to do more work in promoting this, as I think that's the majority of the reason its kind of unknown still, but I'm spending most of my time just bringing all my current readers the next chapter! While this is still a work in progress, it is enough motivation to know I've got people like you around hoping for more!
Also as soon as I started this project I fell in love with this medium, so I will surely be making more VNs after this is complete. I even have a short project in the works, so be on the look out :3
OMG! I never knew this game existed but when I saw a recommendation, I thought 'might as well give it a try' and it was worth it. The story the unique way of show the story and, of course, HUXLEY AND DARLOW!!<3 I want more of those 2 and their stories are amazing. Is Huxley Russian, cause every time I see him say "little bear" I just think Russian accent?
Was not expecting that with Huxley... My first reaction was ohoho, then when i went back and played the scene again i giggled like a school girl. Great stuff <3
Looking forward to the next update
P.S. the ~now~ kith <3 note ended me. Love dem plushies
I can't say enough how this game is truly a creative masterpiece. The art is purposeful to create emphasis for the plot and character growth. The writing is paced perfectly and holds only one prisoner, the reader, keeping us moving from scene to scene as we fall deeper into the well of world building and mystery. Truly well done, an inspiration for Furry VNs.
Of course! If it helps even more, we were talking about your VN in the furry visual novel discord and how it is unfairly underrated and unknown and those who have played it were saying the most amazing things about the art and writing!
I was not sure about this VN t first but really enjoyed it, can tell alot of work went in to this and cant wait for the next updates. and MORE HUXLEY PLEASE GGGRRRRR!
Just caught up, I love that we've finally met all the characters! Thank you for the author's notes in between chapter releases. I can't wait to see what unfolds for everyone. 💜
haha yeah i like putting in those little notes at the end, it makes it feel official! i remember the authors notes of the first manga i read so vividly, it was such a special feeling to get a peek into the mind of a creator!

I'm happy to hear you are enjoying my work so much! I'll do my best to keep it coming in a timely manner! :3
i sadly can't download the new chapter using the itch app, you need to select a plateform for each build to fix that
sorry about that! i fixed it now
thank you :D Can't wait to play :)
Only read the prologue so far, but damn the music is SOOO good!!! Im now 40 minutes deep down in Patricia's albums and im so grateful to have found this masterpiece of an artist
I'm glad I was able to introduce you to her work! some of my favorite music of all time :3

Hearts Faster Than Light Is a kinetic novel - Comic hybrid. There are no choices, and Dawn, the Main character, is not customizable.
as always, such a good capter. Thank you for giving us a real slow burn romance where you can take the time to see a relationship grow
gotta stoke the romantic flames!
I can't believe I have not read this until now. With such a unique art style too for a visual novel. This was quite the fun look and read. I can't wait to see more of this.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Good luck!
Thanks for the kind words!
I Imagined Huxley has a Congo accent, but Russian also suits him well!
Was not expecting that with Huxley... My first reaction was ohoho, then when i went back and played the scene again i giggled like a school girl. Great stuff <3
Looking forward to the next update
P.S. the ~now~ kith <3 note ended me. Love dem plushies
school girl giggles at my space gays? (\\u\\w\\u\\) you flatter me!
The new chapter is...(Kyaaaa!!!) It's soooo good >w< Can't wait to see what come next with Huxley ;3
hehe! I can't wait to draw what comes next with Huxley either! lol! glad i could get a "Kyaaa!"
I can't say enough how this game is truly a creative masterpiece. The art is purposeful to create emphasis for the plot and character growth. The writing is paced perfectly and holds only one prisoner, the reader, keeping us moving from scene to scene as we fall deeper into the well of world building and mystery.

Ack! my heart! I'm struggling through making the art for the next chapter and your kind words are helping me gather the strength to keep pushing on!
Of course! If it helps even more, we were talking about your VN in the furry visual novel discord and how it is unfairly underrated and unknown and those who have played it were saying the most amazing things about the art and writing!
:'3 omg! I had no idea! haven't checked that place in a while!
I was not sure about this VN t first but really enjoyed it, can tell alot of work went in to this and cant wait for the next updates. and MORE HUXLEY PLEASE GGGRRRRR!
glad to hear you enjoyed it! and there will def be more quality Huxley time in future chapters ;3
Just caught up, I love that we've finally met all the characters! Thank you for the author's notes in between chapter releases. I can't wait to see what unfolds for everyone.

haha yeah i like putting in those little notes at the end, it makes it feel official! i remember the authors notes of the first manga i read so vividly, it was such a special feeling to get a peek into the mind of a creator!
ok so I played the last chapter and no surprise it's a banger.
This is the first i can read without getting distracted. There's always something happening to keep me focus and I love it
aw yay! happy to hear that. I was a tad worried about this one, so I'm glad the risks payed off!
hello you didnt set an os for each build, I can't download the game because of the itch app :)
ack! so sorry, fixing that rn
