@atmac, you ok? I've been checking my itch.io almost bi-daily for half a year now, and your last post was over 90 days ago. Sorry if I'm being strange, I'm just worried. After all, this is the first, and best, VN I've ever read. I'm starting to worry something happened (like you got cancer or smth.) Good job on the VN and hope to see more soon.
Everything's fine on my end! I post regular updates on my Twitter and I'm trying to post more on Patreon as I get things done. I'm just very busy right now with both life and working on Lyre's definitive edition, along with getting everything together for Dryz.
Lyre is the only visual novel that I fell in love with more on my second read through. When I first had read through Lyre I had just finished Adastra and was expecting similar writing to it. I was disappointed at first until I realized that Lyre once you pass the first 2 or so chapters is a surprisingly complex and well written story with enjoyable and arguably better written characters than Adastra. Also lastly on a unrelated note. Lyall is best boy :
I am new to the world of furry visual novels and glad to say that Lyre is one of the first FVNs I've already read.
NEXT PART CAN CONTAIN DIRECT/INDIRECT SPOILERS, BEWARE!
First and main reason why I'm so fond of this novel is it's plot. Story of a stigmated love amidst hostile environment of courtier games, treachery, deception and hypocracy. It's certainly a trial of will both for Knight and his Lord. And it's fascinating to see that they've chosen happiness, striving to it no matter what. Situation is gloomy for them, but they're certainly not left alone. Good Leif, righteous Eliza, Kadaj (Ambassador Floppa) who is loyal to Tygren and fair blacksmith Edan are amongst their allies as well as something beneath mortal's understanding.
Speaking of characters, they all of them are well-written. I think we all agree how interesting and relatable Richter and Lyall are, how caring and merciful Leif is, etc.
But let's talk about young heir Adrius, who is without any doubt a complete dastard. Yet his character is sort of understandable. Yes, his methods are awfully brutal, he doesn't mind getting rid even of closest people, if they are in the way of achieving goals.
Nonetheless, giving a better look on his personality, we can understand Adrius' motivation and relate to it.
Let's look from his perpective. In the past he was a cute little fawn, playing in royal garden. Everyone loved him and he loved everyone, and there was a person who shared the strongest bond with Adrius. His own mother, which was everything for him. And he lost her to some rascals, a member of royal family, the queen and his world were brutally slayed because politicians can't and seemingly don't even want to reach an agreement.
Everyone are so slow, indifferent and not caring. Even Lyall, so tall, a growing warrior, was so slow, proved to be uncapable of fulfilling his one and only duty, to protect the queen. This wolf doesn't even deserves a name. It's a dog!
That is why Adrius has to be swift, desicive and determined. Even it mean wiping out everyone on his way. He doesn't want to be anything alike this slackers all around him.
I'm not sure if he truly wants peace for the people of Lyre, but a complete change of personality is most certainly connected with his gestalt. And for that Adrius needs MORE POWER (He is the tempest that is approaching, provoking)!
Great character designs, as well as pleasant artstyle, picturesque views and great music creates a truly bewitching experience overall.
Also I find it funny enough that the game and most characters has some sort of parallel parallel with Adastra's cast :D :
Adastra-Lyre (both names given after places where plot is going on)
Parents-Tygren (divine forces playing around main scene)
Amicus—Lyall (Big caring black wolfs, both of noble families. One is himbo, other one is Geralt of Rivia)
Whole fragment where MC being imprisoned by a mad ruler and saved with his Wolf and providence itself.
Virginia—Eliza (Strong women characters, fair and capable of ruling country)
Cassius—Adrius (Vile lads with understandable motivation, both heirs)
etc.
By the way, Lyre is clearly offering us a different story. I am not 100% sure, but the inspiration by Adastra can be seen here, or vice versa.
Nevertheless, I am fond of this epic story and only looking forward for it's continuation in the next books. 8,5 of 10. Which is "Touching piece of art". Absolutely in love with it!
What an incredibly well crafted experience. The art, the worldbuilding, the music, the characters, the subtle details and the unsolved mysteries. I've enjoyed every part of this visual novel and I cannot wait for more. Thank you to the creators of this amazing journey.
hi I played Lyre and honestly I loved the characters, the story, the setting and the images I loved everything thank you very much for introducing me to a story as great and fantastic as it sounds and very honestly I can't wait for the release of Dryz I have palpitations in my stomach and it's not the palpitations of a "wolf" hunger you understand, in short I can't wait for the rest good luck , Good luck and keep it up.
Hello, I don't speak much English, so the text written in my native language will be below. The exciting impulsive plot, soul-touching music, the sophistication of the scenes and the extreme smallness of NSFW content make this novel an amazing read. I recommend it to everyone 💗
Захватывающий импульсивный сюжет, затрагивающая душу музыка, изысканность сцен и крайняя малость NSFW контента делают данную новеллу потрясающей для прочтения. Всем её рекомендую 💗
I love Lyre so much, the music, the detail and art are marvelous, it's absolutely incredible and indescribable. The creators and Atmac and everyone really put their heart into this admirable masterpiece. I LOVEEE ITTTT!!! THE LOREEE IS REALLL.
This game got me holding my breath in anticipation. The art pieces are absolutely gorgeous, the characters are complex in their own way, the plot is well-written. What's not to love about this game?
Can't wait for Dryz to come out and be just as amazing as Lyre.
This is so amazing! The art, music, and lore. I can only hope that Dryz, the next series will be as thrilling as this, keep up the good work, and I hope you success!
Holy crap this is a amazing start to the series. The emotion and heart that is put in the writing is fantastic and it sometimes made me go crazy sometimes when it came to who my mind was leaning in favor of. The art and music are remarkable, the characters are so rich, and I absolutely can't wait for Dryz and what comes next for the series.
I just realised there was an update so I immediately tuned in...
WOW! ENCORE! 🤩
And the end credits 🤌🤌🤌 I know these things take time but I'm really looking forward to Dryz. I can also see changes in your style. You're illustrations have been improving!
Extract images from the game. Some creators give them as a reward for supporting, so I’d though it would be nice to ask before even looking if they’re encrypted at all.
I have no idea how fast you need to read for that, I spend my 4th night reading this for 2 hours each time and still wondering how long chapter 13 is xd

Thank you very much!
It feels like chapter 13 is bigger then all previous ones and I LOVE it.
Also any way to get all bg art? Image gallery doesn’t include lots of it.
It's all in the game files and relatively easy to find.
Thanks, I though it’s kinda mean to do this without permission.
>_>
Do what?
Extract images from the game. Some creators give them as a reward for supporting, so I’d though it would be nice to ask before even looking if they’re encrypted at all.
Gotcha.
Ty!
I finished in one night (3 hours) and i still need more :(
DAMN
I have no idea how fast you need to read for that, I spend my 4th night reading this for 2 hours each time and still wondering how long chapter 13 is xd
The whole VN or just Chapter 13?
Because over 100k words in 3 hours is...fast.
There WILL be a quiz.
Spoiler
Why didn’t the wolves smell Adrius? Was it because they thought it was Raynar?
It will be touched on later
DRYZ is like a book 2 right this one is done but there is more on its way
More on the way! As soon as i can get ready for it.
wait is this the end of the whole vn please tell me its now
