itch.io

highly polished experience. enjoyed that it's a topic i'm completely unfamiliar with (cons are not really something i'm interested in attending right now), so it's cool to see this explored in a VN form. love the references to furry media, and the switching of human/'sona. i do like this kind of story where the characters are messy and it's not a bombastic ending, though i did feel like shit after this. that's okay, but i do need pick-me-up now, lol.

so cute !! love everything about this. i expect a lot of these jam games to have Big Drama, but being able to experience a nice slice of life like this is welcome. made me feel so warm and furry inside !!

i'm a big fan of bizarre, unlikely premises, and i loved this excuse to present the characters as nude. definitely wish the story and character development went deeper, but i know it's a jam (O: had a really nice time with this one.

this was great! admittedly it took me a little too long to understand the chronology, but this made me emotional. i'm cis and don't want a family, so i appreciate when there are stories like this that make me consider an issue i haven't thought about before. i know the backgrounds are rough but i really love them like that. artie's antlers are cool, too !! thank you

wouldn't 💒 you believe 🍁 i bought a physical copy ©️ of this !! i'm an otter 🦦 who read this one article 📰 per day max 🔝. it's fun to see shiny my text ✍🏼 in here 👂🏼 !! and the typical fun 🛹 also and nice writers 🤖 from choicebeat again. love 🎈 you

i think i cried just as much as ransom !! i thought the script could be a little overwritten/cliche at times, but i don't really think it brought this down, and maybe apt for who ransom is. i didn't expect much from a jam game, but the story was so intense !! i'm definitely looking forward to img_1697 (and CCoR19) now.

i absolutely adore devs notes/postmortems, and this was much better than i could have expected. details into the process and thought was really satisfying. even the numbers for the budget was discussed !! love this.highly recommended to anyone who played the game.

what an incredible piece. i cried a few times even though i was in a distracted state of mind at the time. different artstyles were interesting, but the fits were topnotch. fantastic writing, some juicy VA. overall incredibly polished experience that really impressed me. the "My sleepy old man" illustration is my favourite visual by far, so cute. i also purchased the bonus art/dev book and i loved that too.

what the h*ck. a combination of beautiful, fucked up, surreal, disgusting, transformative. this is the kind of thing i could only dream of experiencing in my lifetime. it's expanded me a little bit more. i cannot thank you two enough.

i love love love love love this so much. i really hope y'all are able to successfully make it into a full game !! it's already sick as nails.

two criticisms that might not be real:

1. i could have sworn one of them said it's spring... but the leaves are clearly autumn?i played this at sunset in autumn and it was perfect

2. the photos aren't saved to disk? i took a bunch hoping to have them to look at but i can't find them within a folder. bummer. i had fun doing that.

but yeah, thanks again for this !!

i found this earlier this year and waited to play until autumn leaves IRL. lol. this was cute!

this looked fun, but wow, what a messed-up story. the UI implementation and 3D based-world was a fantastic choice. it took me a minute to really understand why it ended the way it did, lol.

oh my gods, this may be my favourite demo of all time? and i've been playing demos since the ps1 days? if there was music/ambience and sfx that will be there in the final game, i would consider this perfect as a complete experience. extremely well-balanced, top hair level design, beautiful visuals (LOVE the vertex lighting-esque colours !!), fantastic combat/gameplay, rewards for exploration, flexible skill tree, cool ui, fun enemy placement, badger dudes in sexy armour, and ... well, everything else. it took me just over 3h to 100% this. although i'm obviously looking forward to the FULL-GAME, i hope the devs cook this as long as it needs to keep this high quality going !!

i know you don't know who i am but i feel like you made this for me !! it's perfect !! hourses !!

oh man, this is one of those perfect lil' games: the parts fit together so well, that i wouldn't want to see any change made to it !! it's just such a sweet slice of game, immaculate vibes with imagination and crisp sound design, beautiful graphics and fun gameplay. love love love this.

it's funny you posted on itch.io today because earlier i recorded a lecture that showed i pet a dog in this one, yes i told the class it was just a prototype but i love it so much anyways (it's asynchronous so sadly i won't get to see their reactions).

OH and i used to show 2 pages from it will be hard but decided that mayyyyyyybe i don't want to take risks with that one (this is for a general-ed art appreciation class in a very conservative town) lol

idvanture part !!

aww, this was cute! very short, but intrigued me, definitely cheering for them !!

love the style, interesting, have never seen it before, hopefully some more like this...

first of all, yes, this was insanely hot. furry wrestling? yes and yes.

i didn't expect much else, but i absolutely loved it. being that it's succinct, there really wasn't much time to flesh the characters or story out all that much. the arc was unrealistically quick, but... so what? i had to just enjoy it as it was, and that was the best decision. i sunk my fangs into this and fell in love. i think it finished at the perfect spot, yet i want more...? i think that's a pretty d*ng good thing.

p.s. i was an eli for a friendly-competitive gay wrestling group, and tremor was this hot russian bear... a lot less extreme and sexual, though, but this brought me back to that.

thank you !!

i second this. i watched a let's-play just to hear the music

cute! love a little story like this, it's fun to read about the start of a gay romance, especially when it's not 100% certain the other person is gay... also, love the cute backgrounds.

incredible. this really made me think further about my own relationship to my body and identity. but more importantly, it helped me understand the kinds of struggles and triumphs of those around me. many of these feelings are invisible to others, so i'm grateful that these people felt compelled to share their stories. powerful stuff.

loved this! cute sprite work, haruo is adorable, and a fun story. agree with another comment about the crash and the kiss, but i enjoyed that regardless. this made me happy. i also read this on a thunderstorm day in autumn, so apt

i'm pretty entrenched in gay furry visual novels (with "bear"/"bara" characters) that i forget other kinds of things exist. maybe i won't play games, but reading about them is fun to know the kind of range that is out there! 

interesting! the situations weren't really my cup of tea, and i'm not entirely convinced by the writing, but i still enjoyed this nonetheless. i am a huge fan of older men, especially dads, so i did like the characters... at least on a physical level, lol. fantastic sprites and CGs

u are alive and thats what count's

one of my favourite-written games of all time. this made me feel emotion. didn't really like kari dialogue, but everything else was perfectly cohesive. absolute gem.

fantastic, brilliant game. i missed something obvious and got stuck for a bit, but once i figured it out, i couldn't stop until i defeated the final boss. started off difficult, but the powerups helped! yeah, definite high marks on this one!

so funny to see nathalie lawhead do something with big graphics, lol. love it! didn't get into internet until '07 or so, but i could see the transition happening. glad this wasn't a nostalgia trip, that kind of thing annoys me, so this made me happy. thank-you

about a decade ago, i was bi-curious for about a month, but realised i'm just a big ol' homo. so i knew what the results were gonna be, but i just wanted to experience this and i was immensely tickled. love, love, love this. (also - i'm going to a (implied to be LGBTQ+) men's potluck today, so the likelyhood of hugging a bisexual is extremely high!)

WOW. i thought this would be cool, but this completely blew my mind. it's truly one of my favourite experiences with videogames of all time, and it was only 41 minutes !! it went places i didn't expect, and the music was incredible. just so bedazzled.

i'm a massive fan of flat shaded early 3d graphics... i have no nostalgia for it, but it really tickles me. despite this experience being singular, i'd like to see some games inspired by this!

thank you so, so much.

in my letter i said i don't read much IF. but recently i defeated Echo 🏜 - it took me 39 hours over 4ish years, and i needed a break from the house 🏡 that makes it ... well i pined 🌲for more gay furry VNs so i ended up with a spreadsheet 🛏 of 48 entries. plus a collection of 20+ games from a jam about wolv 🐺. i am hair-deep in VNs now !! OH and also i successfully had a copy of 50 Years of Text Games ordered by my library !! which 🧙 i believe 🍁 i heard from y'all. i love 🎈 choicebeat

been reading maywolf for hot daddies but i read the reviews for this and couldn't resist. and WOW this made me cry a couple times !! i love reading about people coming out to themselves, but it's so frustrating when it's not all cherry and roses !! but these are the kinds of stories that need to be told and i need to hear, so thank you for this !!

really silly, and i love this kind of thing! love the non sequitur fanfic, ha ha. admittedly i didn't understand if Mine as a name was supposed to be a joke or something, idk. but this was cute

one of the standout experiences of media in my life. about 40 hours spread in a period of 3-4 years, i'm really sad i can't experience any of it for the first time anymore, even though i'm not always fond of the characters' decisions/actions. i definitely feel like a different person before and after this, just like with adastra.

this is too cute... such graphics... i love this!!

hooray dragon dreams !!

omg what an amazing use for bitsy... that was so cool !!

wow, how beautiful! fantastic graphics, and evenmore so, evocative writing! absolutely loved this, and definitely vibed with the sword room!!
