I was a little surprised there was no check-in from Blake, but at the same time, I could believe there wouldn't be one, and that would speak volumes about the kind of person Blake is. Osgood... I know I would have a hard time wanting to talk to him after that. There's not a lot I would want to talk about if I was being seen in that reductive of a light by someone who is supposed to be my friend. 

I think the ending makes sense. Cons can end abruptly and messily, and the jarring transition back to Real Life (tm) can feel just as rough as this. I don't like the ending but it is a good ending, I think? 

This might be the first FVN I've ever played that is so un-apologetically set in the Actual Real Life World. Referencing real-life events and places and politics did a lot to really drive home the chaotic mix of furry and IRL you feel at cons, even if it felt super weird. Weird in a good way? 

Some of this felt so true-to-life that it felt almost like it actually happened. And if it did... Hey, Keith, are you, like, good? I hope your MFF had better things. And if it wasn't based on a real experience, wow that was very realistic. The dialogue really captured how furries talk to each other (especially the awkward "I don't really know how to talk to you IRL" part). 

<- Light spoilers? -> 

I love Swift, he's so cute. Please give him a good boyfriend. Or at least a good date. He deserves at least one good thing. 

Also really liked the scene with Hammer. That also felt... Shockingly realistic. I hope this did not really happen to the author but if it did I hope it is something they laugh about now. (I absolutely would tell this as a horror story that I laugh off years later, but also, I would also absolutely still talk to Hammer). Nice touch on how almost none of his sprites show his paw. 

Always startling when a character in one of these VNs shares your irl name! And seems to be a lot like you. I like what you've got so far and I look forward to seeing what not-me gets up to :) 

I remember seeing a youtube video from Marrow on this a few months ago and I was like, huh that looks interesting, gave it a spin, but there was only one chapter at the time. Hadn't been back in a moment... But man, I thought the first chapter was interesting, but I just binged all four in the span of a day. I love the subtle music, I love the way the writing captures awkward talks where things are left unsaid and said the wrong way, and I love the awkward budding realizations of how you feel about another person... This is a really promising one and I'm super excited to keep up with it.

Also, all the art of Ash is adorable. Is it fair to love (one of) the player characters? I want to ruffle his hair. 

The last time I was this glued to a VN was when the final chapter of Echo released. That was insane. Thank you so much for the food

also i love everyone's expressions. there are so many very good faces

Is there no Linux version? I swear an older build was Linux compatible ;w;

This was much heavier than I was expecting, but it was also something I needed. 

We'll get through this.

Does this avatar have MMD visemes?

If it's not too hard a linux and mac release would be really nice! i think gamemaker games should be able to just export them as a separate file but i understand if it's a hassle 

giggling that the package name for android is com.otter. y'all know what's up 

The UI on this game is INSANE, there's clearly been a lot of love put into it. Lookin' forward to future updates!

The Linux build seems to just be a .tar of the Windows executable -- is that supposed to happen?
