I have an issue. I do everythig as it is said in Walkthrough file, but option to offer nick a spare bed still isnt active. Can somebody give me a little clue where I made a mistake?

Hmm. The walkthrough may be outdated. When I initially made this scene, it was almost impossible for anyone to get to sleep with him. I eventually recoded it to make it easier to sleep with him, but that really shrunk the range in which you get this middle result of him doing a strip tease by the spare bed. I'll look up the coding next time I'm working on the script and will reply to your comment here. Thanks for asking and sorry for the inconvenience. I'll try to get the walkthrough updated, too.

Hey, you are incredible keep up the amazing work and I cant wait to play this update.

The Android version is not installing,why?

Without more information, it's rather difficult to help, but I've tested it on my own device and it installs normally. Typically when someone says it's not installing on their device, they are either out of storage or there is a setting on their phone that is preventing it. The only advice I can offer is that it seems Itch is forcing the application into a Zip file, so you may need to extract the zip on your phone before you can install it. 

Hello, I'm playing your game in Korea. I'm working hard on translating. If you don't mind, can I know how far the romance path with seth is going?

Is there a way for me to play chapter 15 with out going through all the chapters again?

(+1)

Not really, there are too many choices for me to setup a system where you can select them to go to a chapter. That said, you can enable the Skip feature and set it to include skipping unseen text, transitions and after choices. Should get you through everything in less than 5 minutes. 

(+2)

I just finished playing chapter 15, and I am low key so mad that the character I was planning to have as endgame is now being teased as dead; PLEASE tell me that this is a fake death situation, otherwise I don't know if I want to continue playing this game anymore :(

(+2)

😟While I'm sad you're upset (and you're not the only one), I am oddly gratified people care enough about these characters that it is upsetting. Unfortunately, past that, I'm not going to say anything until after the next update releases. I hope you hang in there.

Hey! 😁 Great update~ dark, sexy, and very intriguing 😌 I just wanted to ask if xou have plans to continue the walkthrough or of it was meant more as a base guide to help us understand how the mechanics function?

Oh, and 1ne last thing. I realise this might be a silly question, as the VN is pretty sex focused, but does sleeping with certain people negatively influence other relationships? 🤔 I could be mistaken, but I think there was a point reduction earlier on with Nick? I keep a ton of saves just in case of this, but I thought I'd check 😋

(+1)

I do not have plans to continue updating the walkthrough, no. If I do, I'll probably start from scratch and do it a different way, such as just recording relationship score adjustments from decisions and then what score you need for gatekept branches. I'm generally pretty good about answering questions over on discord, though, if you have any. 

As for the second question... Generally, sleeping with someone won't block off a lot of options, but there are a couple exceptions. I will probably redo the earliest scene with Nick at some point as the decision tree for that was a bit arbitrary and was when I was just starting, but the idea there was more that if you had made decisions more aligned with a pro-Mayhew mindset, then you wouldn't be able to sleep with Nick. I haven't done a lot of that since, but... There is and will be a series of optional encounters that, if pursued, will block off certain endings. There are hints about that, though. 

(1 edit)

Thankx for the response! 😁 I actually had a problem getting the option to sleep with Nick, like, I got it right the 1irst time, but then I went back to change something and couldn't re-create the conditions 🤔 not sure what I got wrong there 😅 and thankx, I'll consider joining Discord~ 😋

And an even bigger thankx for answering the 2econd question, as it was the most concerning. I have 3hree general saves, "Good", "Bad", and "Neutral", with each favouring certain characters, so I just wanted to make sure I don't miss out on anything by not focusing one 1ne person 😌

Amazing work. Xou're really doing an outstanding job with this VN, I love everything about it, especially them wolfy sex scenes~ 😍

(+1)

The amount of branching in this mind-blowing. And of course so is the story. I definitely didn't expect that one special scene that I assume you unlock by remaining a celibate against all odds. Can't wait for more!

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it! ❤️

so im trying to unlock the chapter 11 ginger puppy galley but idk how i am missing it?? but loving the game its pretty awesome

I'll take a look and follow-up. There are a couple images that don't want to unlock due to a bug, but most of them should work. Anyway, I'll look and follow-up here. 

(+4)

This is SO GOOD. The story hooks you in completely but it happens gradually so that at some point you realise it's like 2am and you've been on the edge of your seat for hours.

(+2)

I cannot! STRESS! HOW! MUCH! I LIKE! THIS! GAME!!!!!!! I love how Alex is practically collecting all the men like some pokemon sht, I can't wait to see cold wolf alpha soften and warm up to "cmrag" doctor as he calls it.

Also, the red head elder is hawt, hope he comes back so alex can collect him too~ I want to see  rich vampire, ah sorry "elder" daddy get jealous as Alex and red head hottie flirt heheheheh esp since he dislikes other elders and is particularly interested in Alex~~ I'm just looking for angst, sorry😅especially after what he did to Ronan and Nick, I'm still bitter about it and I don't think I'll ever get over it🤨


I also just got cliffhangered 🥹

Seems like even the weird ass monsters are interested in Alex, I felt so betrayed when ch 14 ended with a "to be continued". I got so desperate that I had to make an account and comment...

(+1)

Thanks for sharing this! ❤️

I think the next update (coming to Itch in a couple weeks) will make you very happy but also comes with a brutal cliffhanger. 

(+1)

Oh man you just made me so excited, although the wait is gonna be agonizing but damn hell i will eat it up when it comes🫠❤️‍🔥 thank you for making the game!!

(+2)

What an absolute pleasure this was to read! Not only are the characters very well constructed, but the writing itself is superb 😌 really, I became completely enamoured and lost in the story. Words flow as seamlessly as cum does in this VN~

I was actually a little hesitant to download BbN because of its size, which will no doubt grow even bigger with each chapter, but it was fully worth it 😁 I cannot say enough good things about this amazing visual novel

Bound by Night actually reminds me of this old game I used to love "Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines". Any chance xou drew inspiration from a game like this?

(+2)

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️ And thank you for this kind note. It will definitely continue to grow but I try to keep the file sizes under control. 

VtM and the World of Darkness generally are definitely inspirations. I played a lot in the 90s. Mostly I played WtA, but a few vampires here and there, and I loved the tragically brief television series, Kindred: the Embraced. 

On the size of the game, I hear you! I was worried about this way back after I'd made the first couple of chapters and saw it ballooning. To try to keep it under control, all the audio is converted to ogg format, which has a much smaller footprint than wav and mp3, and images are in either jpg or webp format. (If I used the original png, we'd probably be at 10gb right now!) I also avoid movie files because, as much as I'd love to have some proper animated movies or backgrounds, the file sizes are huge and if I do it once, I'll have to keep doing it or it would be a really odd standout moment. (Maybe for the conclusions...) 

(+1)

Nice to hear it did in fact provide some influence 😁 I can definitely pick up on the vibes, and I completely understand the size issue, it always happens with games that have so many images, but it's completely worth it in the end 😋 and xour VN is perfect even without animations, but I do like the idea of including them for the conclusions~ 😌

(+2)

Hi, just checking when the next update will be live. I am loving the game so far, hopefully the next update will have a bit more story with Mayhew :)

(+2)

I've set a deadline for myself to get it out to Patrons by this Sunday, February 11. It'll then come to Itch 30 days later. 

And definitely some Mayhew content in this update!

Thank you so much, i can't wait.

(+3)

Just wanted to say that this is THE top cgi ish like game that ive ever played where the story has fully immersed me. Im new to this genre. My first forage into this was robin morningwood which i loved lol I wish the sex scenes were more animated/interactive but i enjoy them still for what they are, but the story telling is the winner here! This game is AMAZING! Also the characters <3 Im in love with connor so far. I think im on chapter 7/8 but i had to write this really quick! Thank you for creative such an amazing game!

(+1)

Welp Connor just broke my heart :'( gonna start over with a new LI

(1 edit)

Hey! Thanks for the comment and so glad you're enjoying it. I think I answered a question from you about Connor on Discord, but let me know if not! 

(+2)

Yes you did! Thank you so much cant wait for the next chapter!! :D

(+2)

Will Chapter 14 be coming out soon? The anticipation is killing me that I'll explode.

(+2)

I'm hopeful I'll have it done by the end of January. Making good progress on the last scene, but it'll depend a little on what I find in QC.

(+7)

I've slept with every character and got called a cumrag 

10/10 

(+5)

this game is honestly so interesting, the story the characters, I'm hooked. Cannot wait for the next update. Such a cliff-hanger haha

Ok this game is awesome, i can see the passion on it and all the paths, the choices that matter and can unlock unique scenes also all interactions with the characters, i wonder if in future mc would be able to stablish a relationship with someone or continue fucking around is the best deal with no boundaries.

Also i have a big expectation of what will be the narration of being "pro or anti Mayhem" will bring, like, city have another elder trying to dominate if you sucessfully detrone him or something more apocalipical, also more interactions of help him or something (i really like when a powerfull character need the help of someone not so powerfull), bc till their first real meet (with all the narration being manipulated and all the controversal feelings of how mayhem is a mad elder or someone that is bad but not so much) im expecting mc should be more... influent/proactive (?) on the plot on next chapters?, like have some more power over his actions and how story will go, like so far nothing was being too critical but the story and background set was amazing and we have a lot of paths that can be explored which intrigues me

(+3)

Hello, just wondering about the status of the game? It's been a long time, but I think ch. 14 was where it said to be continued.

(+2)

Hey there! Yes, I'm still working away at it. I started a new job about a year ago and that combined with family obligations mean I have a lot less free time, but I work a bit on it every day. Currently working through renders for a sex scene that has been technically challenging but nearly finished.

no problem. Hope all is well

(-1)

i'm literally shaking buy connor brown contacts pls

(+2)

I love him so much but i always think of this when i see him 

(+1)

This whole thread has me lolling but I may as well chime in. 

Connor's eyes are, I would say, stunning. Perhaps inhumanly so. I dont know if the shade of blue itself is particularly intense, but he does have a very pronounced limbal ring around the iris. I'd swear I had read somewhere (a year or more ago) it's a benign concentration of cholesterol, but I can't find a source to support that right now, and most descriptions I find just refer to it as heavy pigmentation. Anyway... That darker circle around the iris really emphasizes the color within, dividing it from the white of the sclera. 

So, in his human form, Connor's eyes are pretty intense. When agitated or highly aroused, shifters and elders both get an unnatural flare to their eyes. For shifters, it's similar to the natural color of their eyes. For elders, it's red. While Connor is a Patron-sponsored character, this is a mechanic I've had since BBN launched.

As for the symbology of anything, most of the characters' names and certain features were chosen to reflect certain traits. I won't go too far into it as I don't want anyone to think I'm putting on airs and see myself as writing the next great American novel or something, but there is some symbolism and I'll let folks draw their own conclusions. I love reading them. 

Cheers. 

Connor is a beautiful character, and his eyes are lovely. (Although, Connor and Ronan really need to have bigger muscles to match the actual dialogue where at least Ronan is described as having huge muscles, but seems to have a similar build to others, possibly even overshadowed by Seth's buff bod... and just because they're supposed to be big, strong, and scary werewolves. They probably both need more body hair, to emphasise the fact that they are werewolves, too.)

I always appreciate real and fictional guys with ridiculously blue eyes, especially with two obvious shades, or the coloured ring, or a combination of the two. I'd say more of a azure, or turquoise kinda blue rather than a too pale blue that looks kinda white or grey, but that depends on the guy's body and face if it works or not.

You just can't beat beautiful, blue eyes, especially on a beautiful, light skinned or tanned, muscular (and moderately hairy, but in a sexy way, not a gross and haphazard way) adonis, in my opinion.

(Although, angry, glowing red eyes are pretty hawt. 😍)

I really hope that Connor and Ronan can be repeat and reciprocated interests for Alex, as they're both so hawt, plus their rough and ready attitudes, and the idea of a protective and 'obsessive'/'possessive' (in a good way, not a creepy way) mate, is really sexy.

(+1)

Yeah, I've had a love-hate relationship with muscles in Daz (the software I use to create the images). Folks may remember a scene with Santino when he was bulging out of a badly fitted suit. I have since learned how to fix that issue, but it kept me from going really heavy with the muscles. And, adding a lot of vascularity to a body is another layer of complication. Since I started, there is an asset I could buy and use to add more vascularity to models, but it would change how they appear. Once BBN is finished, I will debate whether to do a remaster and, if so, I'll make some of those tweaks.

Body hair is a long-standing issue with Daz and the subject of many threads over on Discord and among VN creators. I have since found a body hair resource I like, but it wasn't available when I started. That said, there is an in-character reason Ronan is fully shaved and that will be shared eventually. For some of the other characters, it was simply an asset issue.

Cheers!

I'm obviously not the writer, but I'm certain Connor has those eyes for a reason. Ronan has dark brown eyes that turn amber-colored when riled up or in wolf form. With just a simple google search, you can learn that Amber eyes "symbolize the radiant embrace of love". This definitely holds true to his character, and the inability he has to move on from Nick. Connor theorizes that it's because of his wolfy feelings, seeing Nick as a lifelong mate. That makes it all the better that his glowing amber eyes show up only when his werewolf instincts are tapped into. Blue eyes are known to symbolize wisdom and knowledge, which I'd say fits Connor very well. He can be the first person to open up about this world to Alex honestly, he has a go with-the-flow vibe, and it's obvious he knows a lot about Elders and their world due to his own life. His eyes are most likely unnaturally shaded to make him stick out. They have a very ethereal vibe that instantly tells the viewer he's not of this world.

I was not expecting a well researched and worded paragraph under one of the dumbest comments I have ever made. Thank you🙇🙇

Is there no Portuguese version?

No, sorry, currently only English is available.

(+4)

I hope to have more interactive storylines with Mayhew. I really like him and I think he is particularly charming.

(+2)

Definitely!

(+3)

Wow, I'm really looking forward to it

(+3)

omi goshhh i can't wait for the next update~ i really love that there is 2 diff. pov in this game and that i can choose who to pair with the MC. My favorite pair is Ronan and Nick, I really like them to be exclusively for each other, and I'm really glad that there are diff. choices to choose from corresponding to my preferences. I'm really hoping that their relationship will improve in the future!

(+2)

While the next update is focused more on Alex, the updates after that will have an opportunity to (re-) build the relationship between Nick and Ronan.

(+1)

waaahh~ I'm definitely looking forward to it!!! Thank you for creating this game hehe ٩(。ᗒ。)۶

(+6)

The best game ever...

(+5)

I CRAVE a happy, cute, sexy and protective romance with Mayhew. If we do get one and it doesn't end in a happy ending I will become a problem for everyone, cross my heart.

(+1)

Literally this!!! Beware the aftermath if this doesn't happen🔫🔫

(+5)(-1)

I'm completely convinced that Mayhew is fine with phones and these kind of electronics, but give him any home appliance and this man will cry 

This honestly made me laugh out loud. 😂❤️

LMFAO 🤣

(+2)

omg i've adored holly black's books ever since the spiderwick chronicles i was so excited to see a quote by her in this. her folk of the air series is so good

Next update when?

(+1)

Hey there! Thanks for asking. This will be coming to Patreon later this week, and then to Itch 30 days after that.

(1 edit) (+2)

Really enjoyed what is available so far and I am weak for Mayhew.

(+1)

eager for more 

(+1)

Despite some fact mistakes, like suggesting Alex works 24 hours a day, and ignoring the fact that all hospitals training doctors are university hospitals... This game has a very good atmosprehe and Mayhew is a complex character who definitely gets me going. I'm not sure of where the story is going in the future but hope for non-preachy and "player chooses"-type of content as I honestly can't stand Nick. The music & writing remind me of a very old point n click game series called Gabriel Knight. Especially the 3rd one has similar themes and atmosprehe like in Bound By Night. Highly recommend this game, for now*. 

*Reserving further review after seeing how much freedom and choices the player actually has.

Hey there, thanks for trying the game and the feedback. Sounds like you mostly enjoyed it? 

I know I tend to roll my eyes a bit when fiction gets things wrong about my profession, so I did try to do a fair amount of research and I know the shifts for residents can vary by hospital and specialty. My impression was that 24 hour shifts can and are indeed a thing at some places but if that's wrong, I'm happy to learn more! On one hand, this is just a game and I have to take certain liberties, but I do try to get most of the background details right. 

Thanks again for writing. (And I love Nick but totally get why he's not for everyone! 🤣) 

(+3)

24 hr shifts are a reality here.
