So… This is a wonderful game and for once, I got the feeling I was in a warm embrace~. Now the feeling I will explain later but for now, let’s give something to read to the ones that still searching for an opinion before playing. Also, I would like to apologize for the sheer amount of reading I’m leaving here. I got lost in writing yet I feel like got it summarized as much as possible.
I had an astounding ride of a change of worlds. For once, this one left me feeling like in clouds and a warm embrace. I can say that I have been reading many VN’s probably around… 40?! Wow… Ok, I’m addicted to VN’s, I have to admit it. But none of them left me feeling this strange warmth after reading it. As for the story and plot… well there is enough to have a fun talk. But I have to admit that it feels too fast to have a… Beast man? Furry? Sorry, I can’t distinguish this right now. Still, I had a big dumb smile while enjoying the routes.
Question to anyone: are furries, Beast mans? or I’m in the wrong here? I can’t find the difference since I have seen many concepts behind this world of… furries on VN’s. I do not know if I’m addressing them right…
There are spoilers after this! Be ready,there are long lines of text.
First, I have to do this every time. I do try to honestly say my opinions while trying to leave a positive review. I’m by no means an expert in writing or storytelling, or even English since it is my second language. But first impressions are still a good point of view and a place to see what attracts some people. The current review is done on Build: 1.081
Also, I judge mostly on the story and characters themselves but not on their looks. Which is easy for me. But I know many go for the other stuff…
This is how I do this: I mostly try to review per route but, since it is just starting, I kinda feel bad since it is short. And will update for any content that gets added. After that I will review per department: Audio, Narration/writing, Art, and finally eye candy~. I know the game isn’t finished!
Before the routes: Oh! It feels like months passed by so, By not remembering some things is worrying me right now. I can recall the stories on some VN’s but this one did not get me as I expected… I had to do a little reading of my brainstorming notes to refresh my memory. Not a good thing not to be able to remember the start of the journey. Our character is an interesting one we know him… as a man that lost most of his family already.
His father disappeared and his mother died. I wasn’t expecting a full tragic start at all. We know that this character later turns into a fun person to hang out with. Anyway stopping with my non-important inner monologue here. The world of the character’s origin and the new world that we get transported was interesting… to say at least. I choose a tea to calm MC(Main Character) down. And he drifts to sleep and wakes up in a similar world he was in, but in this case, there are… Beast men? Furries! … Ok… This one is going to be troublesome. Anyway… MC wakes up to a Furry person. He walks and talks is a tiger and we see MC punch him to see if he is in a dream. This part was hard to remember.
We get to know the main cast and our choices to date. At this time we see 3 available to get with. The first one we get to know is the tiger, Gran. What I got from him was: “He is an energetic but, a worry gentle guy… sometimes a teasing one too. Also a little overprotective? Or is he…” Gran took us out to eat something after waking up in this new world. Also, he noticed we had an Orb. These orbs are tools that let us use their power in some way. They are a little unknown thing for us at the moment. When we arrive at a dining place, we get to meet one of Gran’s friends Dave. The second option: Dave is a dragon… or well it seems to be. This is what I got from how he is: “A change of air! He is timid yet, he has a sense of authority, but not to the point of being an adult. He allows you to choose decisions, and he wants you to be the one choosing what to do. With a warming heart, he invites you in.”. But when we meet him we are seen as some dangerous person. MC doesn’t understand why but he worries since he is an Orb user.
After a while, we get to go to a Police Station (PD). There we meet some characters but the main one that we got to focus on was the Chief of the Department, Chief Norman, he is a bear… But, it took me a long time to figure it out. I honestly thought that he was a different kind of breed of dog. He seemed more dog-like to me than to a bear. Norman is our third and last option at the moment. This is what I got from him, how he truly is: “He is authority, sometimes he acts before knowing about it. He might be a bit reserved, and sometimes timid. But his heart truly gives a wonderful warmth. Caring like a father yet more closely than any other.”.
-I’ll cut short here so when the new characters that need to be added get their day I can add more to explain how we meet them. And this is how we meet our characters, or well, our future boyfriends.
Per route:
Gran’s Route: Gran is 25, He looks old and shows a sense of maturity and a sense of authority in his job after all he is a police officer. My time with him even if it was for a day was fun! Enjoyed the time with him he made me laugh so many times, and other times make me worried. He doesn’t know that he sometimes acts badly I can say the same thing that MC said “A good, and charming goof”. He is fun to hang with, more than expected. Also… He teased MC to get his number…
Dream introduction: The dream we get with Gran is one full of lust. Gran having a sense of overpowering MC gave him a steamy press of each other’s bodies. But, ending with a comforting and soft kiss.
Dave’s Route: Dave… I did not get too much while playing with him, what I mean is that I did not get his age at all. He seems like a teenager since he was dressed up in a typical University US style of clothing. Dave seems more mature than Gran. Since he gave me Gran’s number because he knew Gran would tease me to get it. He also knew our intentions of helping him… he asked why we wanted to help him instead of staying in the PD. He seems shameless to show his body to MC since he gets to start undressing in the same room as him too. I got the feeling he is sensitive sometimes. Also, we know he is into us.
Dream introduction: The dream we get with Dave is one with a sense of… dreed and darkness… loneliness. But, with a warming touch. Dave gives MC to choose, to be in control. But also gives us the sense of security and warmth MC needed. Dave sensed that MC was scared and asked not to be scared of him. Dave let MC do the first move. With a hand on Dave’s chest and a hand on his cheek, MC closes his eyes and delivers a kiss. Sadly I do not get what kind of kiss was.
Chief Norman’s Route: Norman is 37, He is a whole different thing. Norman is interested in MC but he is too timid to show it. MC knows it but doesn’t want to make him uncomfortable. MC’s impressions of Norman are a bit weird. He sensed authority coming from Norman but also, solitude, and an overpowering feeling of intimidation. During his route this was one of the things I had in my mind: “What I think is that he is not that bad or well he doesn’t mean to become a little intimidating is probably how he acts in his office. Maybe is he doing it without realizing.”.
MC clearly wants to talk to Norman, but he says to speak to Doc, MC thinks “What if I want to talk to you instead…?”. Clearly showing interest. Also during one time it seems this thing pops almost every time I read a VN the age gap thing. Is even here! I honestly did not expect it. Is this normal? I mean in a sense of a young person wanting to date someone older? Is this some kind of taboo?
Dream Introduction: We are in a cabin with clothes drenched. It is raining outside. Norman enters and offers to cover with blankets and a cup of hot chocolate. Norman was wearing a teen’s outdoor-style clothing. What I can get from the scene was that we were freezing from the cold so we get closer to a fireplace, with Norman. He asked us to sit on his lap, cuddling with MC and snuggling closer to MC with kisses on the neck. The last kiss is on the lips and is a warm tender kiss.
After reading everything the one ending dream that got me feeling in the clouds was Norman’s route. I was feeling the whole scenario I felt like I was living in that place at that moment. Creating and imagining the whole scenario was so soothing and warming. I was about to fall asleep from reading since it was at night. I did sleep with that feeling and it was wonderful.
I might be a sucker for bears now that I think about it~.
All right now is time to go to the Department Review.
Audio: Music is a form of art and I know when there are feelings in a song, the intro/main menu song is a masterpiece for the whole game. It fit the whole scenario and feelings that this project tries to convey. Warm, slow, and passionate. At the moment I have no complaints about music since they fit exceptionally well.
Narration/Writing: Although I understand grammar is not my forte I’m not reviewing grammar. I’m reviewing the story itself and its characters. So here is something I can say. I was immersed. I feel like I was MC for some moments. Other times the full charm of the characters showed in and shinned like a true person. A feeling of connection was created.
Art: This art is charming! I’m in love with this style. And the little but noticeable blink on every character is a plus for me. It looks like a kind of comic inside of the gallery and I love the style.
Eye-candy: Since the game is starting there is none.
Extra: I’m adding this since now I started creating a brainstorm every time I want to review a VN and sometimes I get some of my thoughts in it. You can judge me for this I don’t mind at all. I think this will show some of the things that get to my head. And this one was… surprising and kinda embarrassing so enjoy. And for the interested, my choice of the perfect partner, in this case, would be Norman… Unless we get the wolf route on the next update.
“Hahaha! Okay, so this is going to be a fun ride I can tell for the stupidity of a simple question. HE asked where is here, answering the room, not the location.”
“We returned with the lion to his apartment to take a shower and finally clean ourselves, though it seem sad that I did not stay. I understand that he might want to but we still have no idea to who go for it. I’m debating with Dave or the wolf.”
“Even after that, we learn that the lion and Gran are overprotective. Hehe, Norman is on me too… Man does everyone try to hit him or what.”
Gran’s Route:
“Gran caught me by surprise while opening the infirmary door. I almost fell over but talk about cliche here hehe~.” “Gran is now our supervisor. We applied for an internship. Is going to be a handful one hehe~.”
“Definitively got the tiger charmed for me “I’m happy that it’s you…” I see no regrets in saying that. All right, so patrol time also Gran seems to be playing with us now and then. Cheeky one~. Glad he is having fun, with me around. Also… a lot of cheekiness coming from this guy.”
“Actually since starting I’m sure I would have noticed since I been brainstorming here. I know Gran has a soft spot for Lil ol me, so he really wants to be by my side , heh. I’m happy with this turn of events but… I hope I’m not left hanging since… I know how the developer took this as a hobby project. sigh why do good projects sometimes end up in a bad spot?”
Dave’s Route:
“OH! Dave knows that we are after him.”
“Dave got a bit ahead… is he shameless or did he forget we are here?”
“Sam noticed that Dave’s behavior changed and she knows that he kinda likes him in some way or another. And MC revealed a card without knowing it! Dave on the other hand was a little sad knowing that MC was searching for his father’s cooking classes. And flattery starts to appear without MC noticing. Also, the poor dragon mind seems to see us in an apron and gave him an awed face while looking at us, I guess he likes what he sees.”
Norman’s Route:
“Changing subject we go to the internship this time though… we get the intimidating part of Norman. But, what I think is that he is not that bad or well he doesn’t mean to become a little intimidating is probably how he acts in his office. Maybe is he doing it without realizing it?”
“Haha, Norman looks funny with an officer hat~.”
“I know cheesy stuff when I see it but this was way too cheesy… stretching a hand back of the pillow to the character’s direction is a classic move. I have to admit cute in this world yes but… because of… you know… their bodies of animals? I mean… Yes, I have been doing reviews on furry visual novels but… I somehow look at them in the way of a human instead of a creature… if that makes sense?”
“I guess I do not care for the superficial I care for the internal part of the characters. Is hard for me to explain but I do not feel like their bodies are what get me attracted to them… I’m more intrigued I guess because it is a Gay, Novel… something that I have yet to experience.”
“Yeah, I’m a lone wolf if I was a fersona… furry? and existed in the world of these characters. Anyway…”
“Wait… so Damon is helping on setting up? What is going on? Do they know my intentions of getting close to Norman? Or does Norman even think about it? I believe we got set up?”
“Let me insist on the age thing. 37… well I can see why he was somewhat hesitant but… It seems we don’t mind the age gap. Heh~ I guess is normal to do in this novel huh!”
“Wow, he is a bear all right. Using a blanket and cuddling him close to the fire. Yep! This one is my favorite so far. Cuddles and snuggles with kisses… but in the neck. Even imagining it feels soothing.”
