Thanks for this lovely new VN! Great story so far looking forward to seeing where things go!
I enjoyed the artwork so much I'm in the middle of doing some Ranzkai fanart and I noticed a minor discrepancy in his sprites. He loses the lighter coloration of his hands/forearms when he crosses his arms. Obviously not super important I wouldn't have even noticed if I wasn't using them as reference. Just thought I'd let you know in case it went under the radar xD
Loved everything about the game so far! Only minor gripe I have is the new/updated journal entries not having some sort of icon or indication to make them easier to find as they pop up.
Can't wait for the next updates! Hope the subby badger gets the facefull of wolf ass he wants and deserves! 🙏😌
This had to be one of the best VNs I've played in a long time. The story, character design, spicy scenes, all of it was AMAZING!!! I cannot wait for the next update!
Our current idea is to have the game being paid only once it is complete. Contributing to patreon will entitle to the full version regardless for how long you've been subscribed.
Wew child... Maybe I'm easy to please, but boy was this wonderful. I loved the writing, the art, the music, and I was salivating during that dream scene.
You guys are really on to something with this, and I can't wait to see more!
I really like the vn its so good I wanna read it more but I reach the end so I hope the new chapter release fast BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO KNOW SO BAD IF HE ACCEPT THE DEVIL OFFER
but please have some rest first we can wait very long even it's 1 year's will still wait so pls don't push yourself hard admin of this vn just relax and have some rest we cared about your health! ❤️
You should make Manoel a romanceable character as well. I kinda like him, from his arrogance and obssecion, but with a mix of passion for medicine in the end.
Devil: Cadgan has changed, became ice cold, but I can provide you with all the fire of passion you need. Of course, you can try to reignite the passion yourself, but it will prove futile. So, what will you choose? Cold ice of dead feelings, or everlasting fire of all pleasure you always yearned for?
Ok, I won't lie I didn't have any expectations for this VN when I started reading it because I had nothing to read and the VNs that I like are taking a while to update if not they are in a hiatus, but thank god I'm happy that I continued to read it.
Since this is the first update I don't have a lot of opinions, the designs and characters personalities are pretty standard if not slightly interesting for a medieval fantasy setting BUT the moment they spelled out Manoel's whole name I immediately got hooked. This is the second time a visual novel or well a furry visual novel at that, having references or (maybe) this time the story being or having a re-imagined world of Portugal/Spain or more specifically in the Iberian Peninsula.
Also I love the idea that the lions seem to have portuguese and/or spanish influence as well, specially since Portugal before turning into an independent country, it was part of a kingdom named "Leão" which means Lion in english.
I'm quite excited by what's going to come and how the story it's going to progress.
Okay Normally am not the biggest VN guy but love the story love the characters and am looking forward to more. The emotions i felt were great. The ending of this demo got me pretty excited especially with the reveal. Im a sucker for things like that and I am just hooked right now. I really do hope you get the funds and support to finish this cause it's really good.
It's so well written!! The art is great, the story is emersive, strong vocabulary, good grammar, and provokes an emotional response. I'm very pleasantly surprised and will be waiting for the next update. Totally cool vn, great job!
i understand that the full game when completed will go to patreon but my question is that after the completed game is released to patreons for a while will it eventually come to itch.io for free? Cause id really like to play this game from start to finish but either way ill be following this game's development because it looks very well done like a lot of passion and care went into it and for what people are saying in the comments it looks like im in for a wild ride as well! :D
Ive seen playthroughs of this online. I wanted to see this since it was written by the author of Nerus. I enjoyed it a lot. I love the writing and I like the two main characters. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next.
It's enjoyable. Especially towards the end. My only slight complaint is that there are a few steps where it felt a bit rushed and a few times where there was a sense of disconnect. Like it was missing some dialogue.
For example I'd have liked to explore more their relationship in the hazeleaf picking scene. Now it felt like the transition didn't serve much purpose and could have been simply skipped by Hector saying "yes, I did it earlier" when Cadgan asked. It didn't carry the plot and neither did it explore their relationship.
Another example is when Cadgan turns down our badger and it transitions to "For now, apologize to Cadgan" scene. It's quite abrupt transition and the apology and Hector fleeing the scene would be more impactful if it was shown. Instead it felt like it was cut short.
There were also a few steps where I went "huh, are we still 9 years ago or did we already get back to present?" cases for me though these were resolved after a few clicks.
I could dig more of these up but to be honest I'm not sure if they are useful to you and cases like these are often a matter of preference anyway.
Also out of curiosity. Will there be top options for Hector? I know he likes being told what to do and has avoidant personality BUT the backstory with Cadgan also states it sparked something more adventurous and even rebellious in him. I hope this is also explored in the sex scenes, seeing that they are part of the plot.
I'm actually not sure. I read this till 3 am half sleepy, and the lack of clear transitions gave me a surreal experience that was confusing in a good way honestly. And yeah it's mostly resolved after a few clicks for confirmation.
I just have one question: During my playthrough I've noticed several pop-ups with "Journal being updated" but I can't find the journal anywhere. Is that a feature that will come in the future updates? Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! The journal is on the pause menu, and on the quick menu at the bottom of the textbox on the PC version. It shows up as soon as you finish the first chapter.
Definitely enjoyed reading this so far. Love an immersive world building and relatable characters. What Hector is experiencing rn is similar to what I'm having atm, but I'm hoping for a better outcome on my end.
Anyway, I digress. The writing is engaging and thought-provoking as well as feeling very real to relate to. I literally LOLed when Manoel's full name was addressed because it's legit how long noble people's names were during those times. The sprites and CGs are well-drawn and appealing on the eyes, I love the clear body type difference between the chars.
This is definitely a other VN I'll be closely look for updates! Can't wait for more~<3
The love and relationship between Cadgan and Hector really reminds me of a song called "i am not who i was" by Chance Pena. I really recommend you go listen to it because it is such an amazing song and it perfectly encapsulates Cadgan's and Hector's relationship as of right now.
hey, i dont know if this is just a me thimg but I can't download the game? I've tried restarting my phone, canceling anf starting again but every time the game stops downloading at 85mb.Dunno if this is a problem with my phone or not but thought you should know (I'm on android btw)
This was a difficult read for me as it tells a very similar story in my own past - one that spanned a lot longer than nine years but the end was somewhat the same. Believe me, if a demon like that appeared after, I think I would've accepted the hug... if nothing else. It's been years for me... I think I still would.
If a demon like that appeared to me after something like that I'd sell my mind, body and soul for that deal. No questions asked. Take it all. I'd even offer all my earthly possessions to sweeten the deal.
Even now I'd probably give it only a few feeble attempts to keep even a shred of my dignity before saying "Sold!"
Ok, this made me laugh. I don't think I'd be ready to sell my mind, body, and soul, (and for what little I have, offering my possessions would only be insulting) but after all is said and done, I have no doubt the sex would be mind blowing (heh). It would certainly make me question the reason for my existence beyond the demon.
Happy to hear it made you happy - or at least gave a laugh! There's never enough of that going around. The deal seems too sweeet to be honest, but hell, gimme! I mean the deal, hopefully not hell... though I guess deals with demons lead to the latter. Eh. Still probably worth it...

I'll take a look ASAP, thank for pointing it out... and thanks for the fanart! Can't wait to see it :)
Amazing VN i liked so much, the story and characters, Héctor, Cadgan and the demon they're so handsome.
Loved it and eagerly awaiting the next update. I may be in the minority but I REALY hope the demon will be an alternate romanceable.
Bestie Big Same im also praying for a Demon Daddy Rout
cant wait for the next update!
Loved everything about the game so far! Only minor gripe I have is the new/updated journal entries not having some sort of icon or indication to make them easier to find as they pop up.
Can't wait for the next updates! Hope the subby badger gets the facefull of wolf ass he wants and deserves! 🙏😌
why y'all gotta tear out my heart? I eagerly await more of this beautiful game.
Is there any nsfw?
Yes, but there is a censored mode to not show explicit content on screen.
Where is the censored mode?
In the options menu, display, dick type: censored.
wowy thx!!
I just finished the vn and wow is it amazing just trully trully amazing and i wana know is it the end or theres more?
More is coming very soon!
This had to be one of the best VNs I've played in a long time. The story, character design, spicy scenes, all of it was AMAZING!!! I cannot wait for the next update!
When the game is finished, will it be free for everyone?

You guys are really on to something with this, and I can't wait to see more!
This game was fantastic so far, and only just started getting interesting when the dreams went wild. excited to see where this is going.
please give us the chose to let the demon help us or not
the art is so well made
Thanks! :3
I really like the vn its so good I wanna read it more but I reach the end so I hope the new chapter release fast BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO KNOW SO BAD IF HE ACCEPT THE DEVIL OFFER
but please have some rest first we can wait very long even it's 1 year's will still wait so pls don't push yourself hard admin of this vn just relax and have some rest we cared about your health! ❤️
Things are going to move quickly in the next update!
OMG IM SO EXCITED FOR IT!!! And thank you! have a great day Alpha0!!
fall in love for this Vn, especially for his music ! A futur gallery for the next update to enjoy the music or the art ?
Keep up the good work and can't wait for the next update !
You should make Manoel a romanceable character as well. I kinda like him, from his arrogance and obssecion, but with a mix of passion for medicine in the end.
Can you add gallery to the game please.
And when you add NSFW scenes you could make it have movement in the scene
tweening on twine is really hard to do
That's a great idea. I'm sure we'll have one down the line.
Spoilery joke
Devil: Cadgan has changed, became ice cold, but I can provide you with all the fire of passion you need. Of course, you can try to reignite the passion yourself, but it will prove futile. So, what will you choose? Cold ice of dead feelings, or everlasting fire of all pleasure you always yearned for?
Hector: Fire…
Devil: Good choice! No-
Hector, while raising torch: FIRE AND FORGIVE!!!
Devil: F*ck!
LOVE THIS VN!!!
and I have a tentative theory.
Spoilers
The sexy demon was Cargan this whole time or was him to some degree. he was possessing him as a child when him and the main character first met.
bro dont spoil
edit: nevermind you did put a spoiler warning but it was so easy to miss, sorry
Sorry, I'll see if I can edit it
Ok that would make me want to go with the demon o_o

Also, Obrigado pela representação do nosso país.
If you want to take a peek at the game before downloading it, recently plover310 made a LP of the demo!
Dang this came out of nowhere for me, you really hit the ground running what an amazing read.

I'm glad you enjoyed the game! The plan is to update the demo until it reaches a certain point in Act II. The rest of the game will be paid.
Well that's unfortunate but not wholly unexpected. I'll quit while I'm ahead then so as to not become invested.

Oh, thank you so much! Now I can deep dive into the lore bits it has :D
Loved reading this vn
Everything from writing to art, from music to direction, Devil's Gambit is epic in every sense of the word; A masterpiece in the making.
Definitely enjoyed reading this so far. Love an immersive world building and relatable characters. What Hector is experiencing rn is similar to what I'm having atm, but I'm hoping for a better outcome on my end.

Thanks, this song is amazing and it resonates with the story so well
Forget about that heartbreaker cold wolf. The demon wolf is way hotter and a new chance at romance
Hi, just read this and it's really fantastic, I cant help wonder can we translate this fvn as a fan-work?
Feel free to contact us on socials to discuss details.
I really hope and want to have the chose to accept or deny the demon's offer
Fantastic game! I really love everything about it and want to see how it ends.
hey, i dont know if this is just a me thimg but I can't download the game? I've tried restarting my phone, canceling anf starting again but every time the game stops downloading at 85mb.Dunno if this is a problem with my phone or not but thought you should know (I'm on android btw)

On the bright side, you'll never be cold.
