Alot of the game is REALLY pretty but I didn't enjoy the story so far, alot of the story doesn't know exactly what it want to do or become and it kinda feels like AI, I'm not saying it is it just feels like it🤣 but I would recommend this game to possum enjoyers😌
I am legitimately baffled by this comment. Despite my great love for this VN, I can understand it not being for everyone. After all there is no accounting for taste, and some of the subject matter is quite dark. So fair enough if you didn't enjoy. But to call it poorly written, and to go as far as to compare it to AI slop, is just stupid and wrong. Your reading comprehension is terrible and it shows.
Gray>Ken>Hiro>Gabriel>Mark based on how much I like them as a character/person (sorry Mark, I still like your route the best cause I think it's scarier than the others and I like the moral dilemmas, I just don't like you as a person)
I've only completed what is available for Yasahiro and Mark's routes, and this VN is great! Some amazing art and can be great with the unsettling themes and imagery when it wants to be. But really the best of it, so far to me, is our cute trans boy because damn I love Hiro; as a trans woman I think he does some nice trans rep, and I like the sweet comments from Grey about his interest in trans people even outside of Yasahiro's route.
My only "dings" on this is the pretty cheesy mid-opening and that the dialogue can get a tad confusing at times, minor issues.
I'm definitely looking forward to future updates, seeing where things go, and to trying the other routes.
This visual novel is really great so far. I've only played Mark's and Hiro's routes, but I'm excited to play the others as well. I went into the game completely blind so a lot of stuff really shocked me. I'd say I prefer Marks's route with all the horror elements and all, but I definitely like Hiro more as a character.
I myself am a trans man, and Hiro being trans really shocked me, I was not expecting a trans male character at all. It made me really happy too, I think the way the author handled him was really great. The scene in the spring was wonderful, made me tear up a little.
That being said, there is one little nitpick I have. The story describes Hiro as having a male voice, and during the sex scene, he is shown with "bottom growth" which are all effects someone can only get after going on testosterone. But the story also describes Hiro as having female pheromones?? If you didn't know, which is fine, I think this is an honest mistake, but when a trans male goes on testosterone it changes his scent to be indistinguishable from a cis male. I know that it's a fox person and humans don't have pheromones but it doesn't make any sense that he would produce female pheromones on T. Testosterone acts as a blocker to female hormones like estrogen, or progesterone, the kind of fox testosterone he's on would also most likely block the female pheromones and he would produce male pheromones. Again this is probably a mistake, but that's not how trans male bodies work - trans man
But anyways great game, excited to play the other routes
tbh I think Hiro only had mastectomy, I think it isn't mentioned if he's on testosterone, and since it happens in the middle of 20 century I don't think it would be as easy as now to get hormones :P
edit: plus he lives in some kind of small village which would make testosterone even harder to get
Hi! I'm glad you enjoyed reading about Hiro. Without spoiling anything about the narrative, there is some general fuckery with what Grey is perceiving and the way these characters are portrayed. Hiro is a character who's taken many measures to be seen as male by his peers, so you can interpret his current state however you want. What was important was portraying a character who has found a way to express his sexuality without being ashamed. and for Grey to reciprocate. Hope that helped!
i'm really hoping that Kens route gets an update soon i'm super excited for it because i love colt and ken so much and am really interested in learning more about Ken :3
never really played many visual novels, especially not this type, but this is amazing I've only done the Gabe route so far but its been great. I can wait to see what happens next. that being said i only have one gripe with this and that's that i with the was a gallery feature hopefully the devs add it in in a future up date. (idk maybe there already is a gallery but i cant find it)
I think the author wrote on Twitter (X) around middle of September that they're halfway through writing next Ken update, so I think it should come out soon :3
This visual novel is real nice and definitely worth a playthrough! Though I do have one piece of feedback I'd like to know more about... spoilers of course.
It does come off rather insensitive when talking about suicide... could just be a personal gripe but having Grey joke about hanging himself at the first chance he'd get... furthermore having Simone punch him for trying to kill himself... again could just be a personal gripe. but in my experience suicidal people don't tend to joke about failed attempts, and it doesn't exactly... help to be gut punched for attempting.
Made my account to give this feedback so sorry for the rushed username. I've been trying to avoid social media like discord and twitter for personal reasons, but I wanted to hear how you respond to that critique.
My interpretation was that Simone punching Grey was for not confiding his feelings with her and "running away from his problems", rather than confronting them(by telling someone). As far as Simone knew, Grey's note was the first time she had ever heard of his suicidal feelings and it was to tell her and Et he was going to k*ll himself. That being said, I understand if that reasoning doesn't make it justified in someone's eyes, and it makes them uncomfortable, but I see it as a realistic, flawed reaction if nothing else. You have to remember that Burrows is a story about flawed people who don't always make the best decisions(our boi Grey is a canonical cheater for crying out loud!)
As for joking about suicide, I don't know if you have personal experience but a lot of people with that mindset use dark humor to cope/process and it's not necessarily indicative on Nikkos's feeling on the seriousness on the subject of suicide.
Sorry, I know you wanted a response from Nikko, I just saw your comment and thought I would share my perspective on the questions you raised
My teacher told me that everyone has suicidal thoughts at one time or another. But because everyone's personality is different, the reactions are also different. Some people will turn it into a joke, and some people will keep it in their hearts.
The story is genuinely so fantastic; I haven't played all the routes just yet but have been completely absorbed by Gabe and Ken's stories so far.. I've honestly never been so invested in a vn
also the horror elements are always just enough without too much ! ahhh I could ramble for hours omfg
Great novel. I liked it quite a lot, especially Mark's route. You're doing a good work. Also, if you don't mind me asking. Which route are you planning to work on next?
Question, does this game have any foot/paw related nsfw scenes? Ive noticed its been like, hinted at by the art and by certain lines, but i havent encountered anything head on and ive been wondering a while
Wow... I absolutely LOVE where the story is going! :D Burrows has been excellent from the start, but with these last 2wo updates? Oh, man, I'm completely blown away! ^^_
Burrows reminds me sooo much of the old Silent Hill games. The vibe, the music, all'a it~ :p I can't say enough good things about this VN UwU
You have done a fantastic job, the Part 2 was so good I'd say Pt 1 was nice. Keep up the good work and have a great day. And also more Mark in the future.
Spoilers ahead I just reread. Ken and I really don't like that c o l t kissing Gray near the end of day two f o r k e n and don't get me wrong I know crazy things like that will happen in the novel but if anything I t h i n k it should have been k e n also sorry for the long post but I know it's because of the way Patron worked but I am surprised that t h e y have not been updated for a year it feels like I keep hoping for more for him but I see the others are further along
If I'm right, I think they're having some troubles with how renpy handles rendering some images in older graphic cards on windows. It happens with a lot of VNs and I suspect it has to do with WEBM format (absolutely not sure tho, only a guess). I usually start the game and hold SHIFT + G to open a config panel then change the renderer to Force ANGLE2. After that just need to restart the game.
It's been working just fine for any VNs with similar problems I played until now.
Thank you! you were correct Drys, now all the images are rendered correctly and the text is more straightforward. I apologize for not leaving any examples I took a few screenshots but couldn't post them because I don't know how.

"The Path" episode is just brutal... I sure wasn't expecting anything like that
New update was fucking amazing...

Okay cool. I apologize, I didn't mean to come off as nitpicky, I guess I was passionate because I really love his character, looking forward to more!
i'm really hoping that Kens route gets an update soon i'm super excited for it because i love colt and ken so much and am really interested in learning more about Ken :3
i agree
I think the author posted on twitter (X) on 17th of September that they're halfway through of Ken 3 so it should be updated soon

Im not good with names but the shark dude's route is super cute and wholesome, unlike that panther (he's a cute asshole 😭)
I think the author wrote on Twitter (X) around middle of September that they're halfway through writing next Ken update, so I think it should come out soon :3
Hi I play the visual novel Is amazing i'll waiting for other version
What version?
I mean the new update

When Takoda says "I always wanted to be the cowboy" is that a mitski reference please be honest
its a cowboys/indians thing since he's native, but if you want it to be Mitski it is!
Is there going to be a route with olleander?
I love the fact that im not the only one simping for the rabbit that's probably wants to kill me
Why? He's a sociopathic reality warper?
How can I get sex scene with Virgil?
I know there's one in Marks' route. I think there should have been a Virgil route. He's the hottest out of all of them! Go team Virgil!!!
Heck yeah! The author should've added Virgil route in this vn
That's just a dildo in his likeness.
The story is genuinely so fantastic; I haven't played all the routes just yet but have been completely absorbed by Gabe and Ken's stories so far.. I've honestly never been so invested in a vn
also the horror elements are always just enough without too much ! ahhh I could ramble for hours omfg
great vn. just wish you could skip alien interlopers on the pc version.
get good lol
Great novel. I liked it quite a lot, especially Mark's route. You're doing a good work.
Also, if you don't mind me asking. Which route are you planning to work on next?
Ohh... Mark... hope you haven't done what I *think* you've done
Question, does this game have any foot/paw related nsfw scenes? Ive noticed its been like, hinted at by the art and by certain lines, but i havent encountered anything head on and ive been wondering a while
is the game has nsfw?
the game indeed does has NSFW
Ollie my beloved.❤️
OMg yess i love him sm
Wow... I absolutely LOVE where the story is going! :D Burrows has been excellent from the start, but with these last 2wo updates? Oh, man, I'm completely blown away! ^^_
Burrows reminds me sooo much of the old Silent Hill games. The vibe, the music, all'a it~ :p I can't say enough good things about this VN UwU
Slight spoilers👇
At first i had the theory that picking Mark over Simone could lead to a bad ending, but im not so sure about that now...
The horror element is my fav in this one. The segz scene also very hot.
You have done a fantastic job, the Part 2 was so good I'd say Pt 1 was nice. Keep up the good work and have a great day. And also more Mark in the future.
mark route is the most traumatizing so far
Spoilers ahead I just reread. Ken and I really don't like that c o l t kissing Gray near the end of day two f o r k e n and don't get me wrong I know crazy things like that will happen in the novel but if anything I t h i n k it should have been k e n also sorry for the long post but I know it's because of the way Patron worked but I am surprised that t h e y have not been updated for a year it feels like I keep hoping for more for him but I see the others are further along
is there a guide?
i liked this vn more than adastra nikko must be proud hh he really did a great job.
there's anyhow to update the specific part than download the whole game again?
I have a question when was the last time k e n was updated
His day 2 update was back in February 0.8
this VN is absolutely amazing! every CG hit me so hard 🙌 a serve
I notice a few CGs are cut and twisted.
Would you happen to know how I can fix them?
can you be more specific and show examples?

glad to help! and I tried to put a screenshot with the config panel on my reply too and it didn't work so if you find out let me know haha
There were Literally parts that made me ask "WHAT IN GOD'S NAME-!?!?!"
Which routes have adult scenes so far?
Marks, Gabriels, and Hiros, I'm not entirely sure about Kens.
Ken’s has mostly suggestive stuff, nothing too explicit so far.
edit: SEX HAS BEEN ADDED!!!!!!!
I hope Ken is their variant of Ghost Rider!!!
Just started my first playthrough. The writing in this is impeccable. Congratulations on such a successful game!
