I’ve read just about all there is to read and I’m loving Zobbe the most! I’m very eager to see how his (and the others) paths develop! Loveeeee the music too! As a composer/producer myself, I can hear the effort put into it! Loveeeee thisssss!!!
I'm glad, thank you! I gave the composers very specific instructions and lots of time was spent communicating and editing, so I'm glad you notice and appreciate!
I finish reading Zobbe route and went for Jagger route. And oh boy the difference between their route is like a sunny day and a rainy day. The man deserves more love and care, I can only hope for whoever he partner with will give him a better life.
Off to a good start! The scope seems...ambitious, so I'm resigned to waiting years to see this reach it's conclusion. Hope you don't burn out on the project!
Would also like to add it's quite nice seeing a VN with mature characters instead of all 20somethings.
I’m a Patreon supporter and I absolutely love the update that was released yesterday and I’m sure most of the supporters here are going to enjoy it too. However I’m a bit concerned about the direction or pacing of the VN. Not regarding the frequency or the amount of content in each update, but more the actual substance.
It’s entirely possible that I’m projecting, but with this being a self-admitted belly-centric VN, but not a 100% Feeding game, I’m feeling that we’re rushing through these elements, which I’m going to assume is a huge draw for this audience. Again, I really love the May 2024 update and going deeper into the characters’ relationships and thoughts and feelings and problems, and of course the belly and fat pride and feeding and gaining stuff sprinkled in too, lol, but with this update, the 4th or 5th monthly update of a multiple years long project, we’re already at one of the characters becoming the biggest that they’re going to be. Though, believe me when I say that it was really, really hot, lol.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that I hope that the aspects of this VN that drew me in initially, since before the game’s launch way back on Twitter, aren’t being rushed through. In fact, I personally hope they’re expanded on (pun intended, lol). Don’t worry, I’m still imagining myself to be a longtime supporter. :)
I appreciate your comment but I assure you things are not being rushed, I have certain plans and things I really think players will enjoy, including some very secret things for now. I heavily weighed the options of when "things" should happen, and I am comfortable with my decisions. <3 I have gained lots of confidence and strategies for pacing thanks to the help of supporters like yourself!
okay im some what disappoint cause i was hoping we as the player could make our own character so yeah i hope that will become a feature in the future but until then this experience has at least a 3 to 4 stars in my books
I'm fairly certain that wont happen, from what i know the games story is bount around the current character selection, all of them having unique stories and experiences, i dont think a custom character system would work tbh
There will be no character creation—there are five main characters each with their own personalities (with an attempt made to match the one with most things in common with you during the personality quiz) and they can make a few very small choices to affect what they like or don't (burps, certain other things, etc)
Got bored and went to see if anyones made any of the characters in this game and put them as a bot on character.ai ..... sadly noone that i could find.... i really wanted to speak to Zobbe lol
Yeah, but im quite bad at English, so I'd need your help in telling me their info, and I don't know how to specify things which is needed alot in bots, english is my second leangue so it really sucks.
Nice question! "The Job, The Boss, and Other Things" is a story I once wrote (20 yrs ago) but deleted. It is named after the song "The Rain, The Park, and Other Things"
Do you have any plans on adding a checklist type of menu so we can see which paths we've taken? and also will you be adding some kind of character/love interest marker on the save menu? just to differentiate the save files
I can look into all that, sure! I thought about that for the increased save file slots (which I forgot to announce, my bad!) Not sure if it'll make it to next month but I def plan on it. Thanks!
I would recommended this visual novel and I noticed one of the love interest looked like a Pokemon so I wanted to show someone what that Pokemon was oh and it crashed a little when I tried searching for that item with the game still open
i think this project is cool but i just dont think having like 30 unqiue routes is very feasable, especially for such a small team. you should focus on like finishing one-two routes for each main character first. and then anything after that can maybe be a stretch goal/a future update. otherwise you wont have a finished product in over a decade. Not even vns made by big companies have this many routes. I just dont think its a very good idea in the long run, working on something for that long aint good for one's mental health. best regards.
Hi ApricotSalsa! Thank you very much for taking the time to comment and letting us know your thoughts. You make a great observation; SoH is indeed a very ambitious project and the creator has put in a great deal of thought into each unique character route and the intricacies of their relationships and interactions with all other characters. Your concern and suggestions are very welcome, friend. The creator is in the process of taking steps to lower the workload and expectations for this project to allow themselves the space they need to keep their mental health in check.
Hello! Right now, it is just a screenshot of deleted code made for promo, so no. However, in the future when it's logical, I'll def be making it possible for them all to meet up. <3
Lol i almost feel like asking you for a detailed description of Zobbe so i can make him a chatbot 0-_-0 we love character ai... until the ai starts making stuff up that never happened that is
Is it possible to unlock all of the pictures in the gallery? I only have morton, brock, daz and zobbe, if anyone knows how to get more would love to know.
Yeah. The other four are unlocked specifically by playing as Ace and getting to more or less the end of the run with each partner picked at the beginning of the game. So you'd need to do four quick runs with Gideon, Jagger, Brock, and Zobbe all separately.
The four pics you are referring to are only for having Ace as the main character. Pairing other characters will not get you these pics yet. You have to play as Ace, like we said. <3 You would have to do a run, as Ace, picking all 4 different friends night 1, and then get to the night the scene in question occurs.
There will be different combos of chars and methods in the future, but right now, only Ace as a main character has access to these.
I am so sorry about the confusion—in addition to what we said, you also have to pick the tiger or the crocodile on Feb 14's decision. Otherwise, Ace's route will temporarily end (until future content is created)
The 14th decision is separate from your friend night 1. That should solve that now! My apologies. All 4 scenes are definitely possible tho, just play as Ace, pick different friends night 1, and pick either tiger or croc Feb 14 to unlock the different scenes w friends.
Hello! What Giggledog said below. Everything that is visible, blurred or not, is possible to get. Ace needs to be pick, at the start of night 1, Damian, Gideon, Jagger, and Zobbe separately.
In the future, there will be multiple ways to unlock these.
"Play as Damian and think about his body Saturday evening at the convention. No one else can see this scene art yet because Damian 'works faster' than other characters, and Zobbe already has enough benefits for the time being. A dream with Brock for Zobbe and Jagger will be implemented in the future for more flexibility."
So, you'll have to play as Damian, but once you have it, it will count for all characters.
Hey there! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and for sharing your thoughts with us! I am happy to hear that the hard work of the creator does not go unnoticed - there is really a ton of minute details that can be gleaned from the way the characters interact with each other.
The story definitely does take time in setting things up for you to know the characters, though as the story progresses a future update (aiming for May 2024) will allow you to use Chapter Select to move ahead to the parts you'd like to experience. Please feel free to check back in with us around then!
Hello! I'm normally shy but built enough courage to make an account and say how much I'm enjoying this game. Thank you so much for making this game because it's my first visual novel I've ever played (I've always been interested in them but could never find one that I'd think I'd enjoyed). Currently aiming to get through each possible route with every character!
P.S. Will we get to stuff Evan and Axel later on, possibly making their bellies big in the process (in Evan's case, bigger than it can currently get)? Again, thank you!
Hello, I can be shy too, so I understand! I'm glad you're enjoying the game and that you like Evan and Axel as well (I certainly like them!) Love the dedication.
As far as them getting bigger than they already are, I cannot give an answer now. All the art is drawn and while I do not want to make any promises, if the game is popular enough down the line, there may be polls on Patreon to have additional fat edits of more characters.
So for now, a maybe. The thought of Axel getting bigger does make me happy though!
Hello and thanks! Yes, Zobbe is definitely the most popular character, and I can see him getting monthly updates for quite some time. All public updates are on the last day of the month in American time, around the evening in EST (possibly sooner in the day depending how things go) Glad you love Zobbe as much as I do. ^^
heyo, are you guys interested in constructive criticism? i've got a lot of my thoughts on the game written out (overall i'm glad that it exists), but i'd rather not harass an independent creator for no reason if they don't want to hear it, lol
Hey there! Absolutely, please let us hear your thoughts on the game. Would you be alright to send them to me directly? You can even drop me an email, happy to relay to the creator on your behalf :)
yeah, for sure, not super sure how to work this site so I'm not sure how to send them to you outside of an email. sorry this took so long, i thought this site would notify me when i got a reply, but it didn't, lol
Haha that's fine - I also didn't know you responded until I checked just now! Drop me an email at jholtzhausen@gmail.com, or DM me on X at @wolferssa. Any is fine =3
So far I have loved Zoobe and Daz's route and it is very possibly my favorite but I found some errors, I don't know if it would be okay to put them here but these are them.
on day 16 Zoobe does not appear when she is with Daz
Also Zoobe on the 19th after knowing that he is not cursed, his arms appear cut off.

I’ve read just about all there is to read and I’m loving Zobbe the most! I’m very eager to see how his (and the others) paths develop! Loveeeee the music too! As a composer/producer myself, I can hear the effort put into it! Loveeeee thisssss!!!
I'm glad, thank you! I gave the composers very specific instructions and lots of time was spent communicating and editing, so I'm glad you notice and appreciate!
I just fell in love with another fvn! <3
Yay FVNS <3 Thank you!
What the fuck did i stumble upon?? is that a pregnant tiger??
Morton is NOT pregnant.....I hope-
man I'm just trying to play indie horror games take your weird fettish somewhere else 😭
Eww no i just think the characters have cute relationships, i played this after playing random horror games aswell-
furry gam
Love it!
*Excited dance break because in the next few hours/days the new update will be here*
It's out! I feel like it's been a day and a half ago. Hope you enjoy!
OMG YAYYYYY :0 IM SO EXCITED MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA (thank you for not abandoning and proceeding to maintain this awesome game you've created btw!!!!!
All good! It will never be abandoned. It's my special creation and I love it to bits. Happy to create more content for you!
I love the game !
Thanks, I'm really glad you do! <3
I finish reading Zobbe route and went for Jagger route. And oh boy the difference between their route is like a sunny day and a rainy day. The man deserves more love and care, I can only hope for whoever he partner with will give him a better life.
Thanks for reading! Yep, lots of differences. I am sure Jagger will get the nice things he deserves!
Off to a good start! The scope seems...ambitious, so I'm resigned to waiting years to see this reach it's conclusion. Hope you don't burn out on the project!
Would also like to add it's quite nice seeing a VN with mature characters instead of all 20somethings.
Thanks! Yep that's me, ambitious! I'll make sure I take any time I need to keep sane, no worries, no burnouts.
And I am glad you agree it is nice to have a few mature characters! I love me a variety!
Could you make it have an option to put it in Spanish?
Unfortunately due to the immense size and amount of dialogue in this game, no translations will be happening for a long time, and possibly ever. <3

love this vn!! thank you for making it
I'm glad and thanks for the comment! A really big update for Ace x Morton is coming out next week and I'm excited to share it with everyone.
okay im some what disappoint cause i was hoping we as the player could make our own character so yeah i hope that will become a feature in the future but until then this experience has at least a 3 to 4 stars in my books

Thank you for the comment and playing!
i see well i guess i'll have to deal with what i got....
Got bored and went to see if anyones made any of the characters in this game and put them as a bot on character.ai ..... sadly noone that i could find.... i really wanted to speak to Zobbe lol
I swear my mental state diminishes with every update (the need for more is turning me crazy)
I could try to make one, but I'd need specified info for the bot.( and if creators are completly fine with it.)
would love that lol
Yeah, but im quite bad at English, so I'd need your help in telling me their info, and I don't know how to specify things which is needed alot in bots, english is my second leangue so it really sucks.
Trust me, im fluent in English but im terrible at describing people hahahaha, anyway ill check it out later :0
https://beta.character.ai/chat?char=IRPUDfwGrOODggP9XFb3ld8lyOVMj1loQRmpbejyQOY
(I've tried, if it needs to be fixed feel free to tell me)
Haven't finished up Damien's route but loving it so far, amazing writing!
Glad ya like! <3
are any of the stories Zobbe writes actually real? if so what are they called?
Nice question! "The Job, The Boss, and Other Things" is a story I once wrote (20 yrs ago) but deleted. It is named after the song "The Rain, The Park, and Other Things"
However, Rawr's Feast is based on Garr's Feast, which I did indeed write: Garr's Feast by Teh -- Fur Affinity [dot] net
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50810330/
"Fish are a sometimes food... let me in, let me in"?
That's right! i dunno what i was thinking, prolly max silly mode
I really loved the new update...and even more so because of the story of Daz and Zobbe...I already want more nwn to come out haha <3
I'm really glad to hear! <3 Thanks!
Do you have any plans on adding a checklist type of menu so we can see which paths we've taken? and also will you be adding some kind of character/love interest marker on the save menu? just to differentiate the save files

The update is just a few days away and I'm looking forward to it.
But I want to know one thing, is it possible to get that scene where Daz, Morton and Brock are?
Hello! Right now, it is just a screenshot of deleted code made for promo, so no. However, in the future when it's logical, I'll def be making it possible for them all to meet up. <3
Lol i almost feel like asking you for a detailed description of Zobbe so i can make him a chatbot 0-_-0 we love character ai... until the ai starts making stuff up that never happened that is
I can’t seem to open the application?
Is it possible to unlock all of the pictures in the gallery? I only have morton, brock, daz and zobbe, if anyone knows how to get more would love to know.

No problem! <3 Happy to support!
I tried Gideon and Jagger but I still didn't get anything. Do I need to do anything specific?

How do I unlock that Brock pic in Gallery?
Hello! I copied from the FAQ:
"Play as Damian and think about his body Saturday evening at the convention. No one else can see this scene art yet because Damian 'works faster' than other characters, and Zobbe already has enough benefits for the time being. A dream with Brock for Zobbe and Jagger will be implemented in the future for more flexibility."

Hellooo!!!! just wanted to ask if any more updates will be coming out soon! i can wait to see more of what happens to Zobbe! (best character ngl)
