Haven't read this yet but my word does this concept already have me hooked.

And it's (largely) episodic?? So I can pick it up anytime??

SIGN. ME. UP.

Didn't mention Adastra or Lyre...but I didn't want to bloat the list lol

I KNOWW!! I'M SO SAD IT'S OVER ToT

Personally the ending didn't leave me completely satisfied, though I can't really nail down why. I still loved it though!

I've only been here for the last couple updates, but I really fell in love with this game. I am SO ready to see this story's conclusion after the fiasco that was last update ToT

I personally chose to elect Einar, since Rasmus' grudge against...the mole leader, whatever their name was, might lead him to make brash invasion decisions against a largely chill race. Along with sacrificing the farming workforce to do so (not literally but there won't be many working on the farms).

That, and Rasmus is still rather young. While Einar may have wanted to lose, I feel like it would be beneficial for him to carry the burden of Leader for a bit longer, at least until the next election, while Rasmus gains a better understanding of the importance of all roles in the village, as well as what's at stake with every decision...learning precisely why he can't make brash decisions that could come at the cost of people's wellbeing. 

Not to mention, he seemed a lot less angry about losing than Jurgen was. I wouldn't put it past him to have persuaded people personally to vote for Rasmus as soon as Einar's priorities fell out of his favour.

Furthermore, it's not like Rasmus can do nothing in the meantime, he just won't have the final call on big decisions. Though I think it's safe to say he's got a significant seat at the table at this point, and is making an effort to get more educated on everything (with him studying after completing all the main story content). Let's just hope Jorgen doesn't try to groom him to share the exact same views further down the line...

Man, this along with Shelter are the finales I'm most excited for!!

Especially after the tragedy that was the last build ToT

It's been so long...we're so ready for this..!

you can see what the letters actually are in the 'history' section of the menu. It's still mostly key-smashes, though you can definitely see some words in it at the end.

Fanfic writers: GO!!

Chapter 5 for this might be the episode 3 of PMMM ToT (iykyk)

12 hours might just be for the first two acts lmao (or less)

But I mean, a lot of FVNs are just HUUUGE time sinks (Shelter, Soulcreek, Tennis Ace, Killigan's Treasure, Password...) -- even the linear ones!

Which makes sense considering the often above 100k wordcount of these novels (which would, on average, take 7 hours to read through if it's just text)

Something about the lineless, painted art style draws me in. 

Same thing with Echo too -- I guess this just really works with darker stories. Not that this has gotten terribly dark yet, though it seems to be getting there...

Hey look! It's book man!

Not currently implemented yet, I believe. But maybe in a few months...

Hey so maybe I shouldn't have gone off the beaten path for my first route >.>

Alfy, my boy...

I don't know if i even have the motivation to go after the others after that ToT

30 mins in and I've already had multiple laughing fits holy shit-

Man I hope this thing doesn't turn into some angst-heavy tragedy or something, haha... (genuinely don't know what's in store >.>)

He got that autistic rizz fr /j

No, he just has the almighty power. Of supportive parents.

Love how Cooper is still the main poster boy for this page lmao

Like. New players really have NO IDEA what they're getting themselves into...

I mean er- enjoy travelling across the desert with ur angsty wolf bf while you teach him normal people skills :D

Unironically been listening to this ost nonstop just having the game open in the bg while i do something productive. This is a godsend <3

You had me at chapter 20 is 120,000 words, because holy shit guys, some entire visual novels aren't even that long! I'd be worried if you didn't space everything out with that amount of content, honestly.

So glad to be hearing from you guys again! I always end up coming back to this game every few months for its intricate writing (and of course, to see our beloved Minotaur husband <3) so seeing an update was a very pleasant surprise :D

As much as I'm anticipating the new chapter and QoL updates though, I also hope you guys are pacing yourself for what seems to be a herculean task!-- Lest you burn yourselves out, and working on this becomes an unpleasant ordeal.

We don't mind the wait, especially if you keep us posted relatively often

It seems idealistic to expect smooth sailing from here on out, but nevertheless, I'll remain optimistic and eager to see what your efforts cook up! <3

Burry went through Ablaze to save his brothers, Rune went through Ablaze to save himself, Alon went through Ablaze to create his own future, and Luke went through ablaze to save Max. Max himself does not have an Ember (So likely has never reached Ablaze), though he has the most experience with Luke's abilities.

His route gains extra content after obtaining a specific item...though he does seem to play a decently significant role in Alon's route, so keep your hopes up!

He already has his own CG, no? Two, actually. Unless you mean in his ~true form~

Huskies will get what they want or deafen everyone in the room =w=

I doubt Teak will get his own route -- more likely simply an option to save him after you've done everything else in the game. Same with Thistle.

Cooper...I mean, I hope we'll at least get a confession from him. And perhaps a 'special' scene but...maybe that's wishful thinking >.>

[POTENTIAL SPOILERS]

Does this answer your question? It's missing Human but that "nature" is definitely a spoiler.

If you also want racial abilities: Canines have Canine Empathy; they can read each other's minds and communicate over long distances mentally. The height of this is Pack Mentality, where 2 or more individuals become basically one entity, with shared senses and skills.

The others we know less about since the main characters are all Canine, but we've seen Luke burn each kind of mana, so I'll just say what those effects were:

Feline - gives the user piercing strikes and enhanced reflexes

Ungulate - gives the user increased strength and resistance

Rodent - Allows access to the user's 'Holding Seal'

Saurian - Heals the user

Avian - Allows flight

This seems familiar...a certain...fox, maybe?

Nature? Do you mean like, species (feline, saurian, ungulate) or magic type? bc for species, it is...literally just a quick google

No, no it is.

Noooo my dongs! What have they done to you??! 

It should've been me T_T

Considering it seems like an ember is a product of a person's Ablaze -- usually their first, except for Alon who didn't have the necessary mana for an ember at the time -- that would seem to be correct.

Alright! So fyi, we get info on Ablaze in the latest update.

I was very wrong: Albaze is above Embers in terms of the casting hierarchy. And the crystals are not unique to Luke, Alon uses them as well. I suppose we've just never seen another character go ablaze..?

But anyway. The newest update is HEAVY on the worldbuilding, so, don't miss it!

My top 3 would be Cryptid Crush, Shelter (which is basically complete now) and Soulcreek :)

Though some others I'd also recommend are Minotaur Hotel, Remember The Flowers, Tavern of Spear, Demons Within, Lyre, Pervader and Password, if you're just looking for names. Of these, only Lyre and Password are complete, but each one still has hours worth of content for your reading pleasure ^^

(Though I did recently play a short VN called Before You Depart, which I urge you to check out if you're just looking for a quick punch in the feels!)

"Yeah, we'll like it! Even if it's bad!"

"Rune!...Eh, it's true though."

"yer a wizard, Alex..."

I mean, is the point of a character's death not to showcase how the characters around them are affected? And, in a well-written story, have these effects linger throughout the narrative? 

Wow, Lust really embodying the average FVN reader xD (great game btw)

Alright, I've played it now. So...there is no magic system, and any magic use is a sign of demonic possession.

Well, someone's gonna have just a swell time here!

There's wiki.gg, miraheze.org, and I'm sure there are others.

Where's that DAMN forth chaos emerald??

Mrs Shrikewood is a legend...
