NO, THANK YOU!!

The way you wrote the announcement on Discord scared the shit out of me, uncalled for lmfao

I’m so looking forward to seeing what else is in store from the team ❤

I remember finding out about this game when the first build came out, and how I easily fell in love with the characters. It has been a pleasure to follow every single update, looking forward to each one every time! I can’t believe how long it’s been too. The story is so beautiful; The premise is simple yet pulled off so well, the characters AND the character developments are amazing, and it’s overall just written very well (I love the writing so much omg). I’m sad it’s over, and I’m gonna miss the two cuties Chris and Tonraq, but the ending was very satisfying.

Seriously, Congrats on finishing your game! It’s something not many others have done 😂 You guys are a great team and I can’t wait to see what else you create! Thank you for creating this VN!

I LOVE the style you are going for this VN SO much! This has so much potential, and I cant wait to see more of this when you get around to it. This demo was so good for being so short, ended too soon 😭

Bro my blood has been BOILED. What a painful update to read (in the best way possible), like omg things keep getting worse and the story just keeps getting better and I can’t with this damn suspense. 20/10 story update omg

UGHHHHHHHH MY GOD THIS WRITING KILLS ME WITH HOW FUCKING BEAUTIFUL IT IS.

I seriously can’t lmao, this ending is getting so sad but I can’t be mad at it like I want to be because it’s just that good. I’m not ready for this last update, but I also am at the same time because I know it’s going to be much better than expected as always ;3;

Javier wasn’t kidding about the daddy, I’m going feral over Magnus right now holy fuck, he is SO FINE.

I really love the art style that you’re going for here, it’s what instantly attracted me to try this. The writing for this small demo is pretty goofy haha, its not terrible but could use some work of course. The game felt nice to run on my laptop, and everything seemed to go smoothly. Excited to see what this could amount to in the future! ^^

Hey there, I'm back to offer some more feedback since last time.
This update is SO MUCH BETTER! You guys did a much better job with the pacing of the story and it definitely flowed a lot more naturally. There's a much clearer sense of what you guys are trying to go for with the story of this game, and I'm happy that you were able to find this and fix it, so congrats on that! I was able to finish it properly this time around and I enjoyed it all the way through.
There are a few small things here and there that could use a fix to help aid the story, but of course, it isn't gonna be perfect, especially since you just rewrote it. Rather, I'd like to point out - maybe even suggest a few things that jumped out to me after my first playthrough that I hope can help a bit.

The first thing I noticed is that when we are reading the main character's thoughts, it's probably better not to have his name in the nametag so that you don't confuse it as him speaking out loud, even when the text box turns brown. I think having it turn brown is fine, but rather the nametag probably shouldn't be there when he isn't speaking is all.

For the CGs, I don't think there's a need for a notification about artwork being unlocked every single time it shows up, but instead, I think a single notification after the first CG that tells you that each image can be accessed through the gallery would be much more fitting.

The artist did a much better job with the sprites, and I think the redesign fits much better! If I remember correctly last time, Bowers' sprite definitely doesn't take up as much space on the screen anymore haha. They fit in much better with the design, all while keeping the same shocking size of their hefty guts on full display (which I'm all for LOL).  I also found that Hawke was a much better secondary character to introduce to us for the intro, rather than that other character who just felt rude (I forgot his name). It seems it helped a lot with making the reader ease into what's going on with the situation of the main character.
Speaking of which, I also wanna point out that the music here is very enjoyable, and really sets the atmosphere while reading. Plus those sound effects are used much more appropriately and are there to add another unique thing about the style of this game.

The character journal is a little curious as it seems to explain a little more of what happened to the main character in the intro rather than the actual intro explaining anything? I am not sure if it was meant to be like that, cause after what I saw in Feenyx's description, it feels like his description would fit better on the front page of the game here on itchio if anything lol. It doesn't seem to describe his character but instead just describes what the game is about.
Looking back now it seems the character descriptions of both Feenyx and Hawke are a lot more revealing than what might be intended for? (At least I'm guessing).  Especially Hawke, since it mentions a few things about him that were never brought up during the conversations of this update.
Other than that I love the idea of the journal, including those little silly graphics.

Anyway, that's all I wish to say for now and again, I hope this helps a bit. Seriously though, Congrats on the major improvement! I'm looking forward to what's coming next! :D

Ahhh oh my god this new update was so adorable! I absolutely loved it and was smiling so much at the end, it was just so cute! Amazing work as always!

What a cliffhanger.. im like left here stunned haha
What an amazing update, as usual!

HAH yeah me too

HHHHHHHHHH
DAMN those cgs were GREAT
my god Rou knows how to be real smooth

tho, cant thank Javier and his awful timing lmfao

Hey there, I'd like to provide some feedback. I've been intrigued by the looks of this game since I first heard about it on Twitter, but I'm sad to say that I found it quite disappointing. I understand it's just a demo, and that's why I'm trying to offer honest feedback/criticism without sounding rude. 

The first thing that I notice when opening the game is that it defaults to fullscreen, and the main menu music (and all music in general) seems to be really quiet. I really love the title screen and UI design, the transitions between menus feel a little bit long, but apart from that I think it looks great and fits well with the theme. 

When it came to starting the game however, the writing is where everything falls apart. Just reading the very first message, I had to re-read it a few times to make any sense of it. I continued on thinking that there was going to be more of an explanation about it, but there wasn't. Instead, it jumps straight into the main character seemingly about to commit suicide, without any warning or transitional writing. The first message could have very well been expanded upon, while keeping the same effect of a mysterious hook to a story, since it's the most important part of grabbing the reader's attention.

Moving on to the setup of the story, you quickly realize that the writing feels so rushed and rough. So much so, that it's hard to keep track of what's happening as it lacks any kind of explanation in the writing. Thing after thing constantly keeps happening at the start, with no details in the writing that help the reader not feel so overwhelmed.

Directly after waking up in the cabin, that's where the story started losing me, and I somewhat stopped paying attention because of how confused I was getting. As I said previously, I feel the writing just lacks detail as it just doesn't flow well and it seems to stay that way throughout the whole game. I kept constantly asking questions about the events that were happening before me. By the way, pressing esc to pause and ctrl to skip just doesn't work, forcing you to use the UI buttons.

When it comes to the character's dialogue, it felt completely out of place when the main character was just plain rude. None of the jokes seemed to stick, and the sound effects with the dialogue were very out of place for the atmosphere. There were some parts of the text that would continue on out of nowhere without the user's input, not letting the reader read it. I also noticed that one of the background songs suddenly cuts off in the same spot every time and just restarts. The second wolf's name does not get introduced and only gets revealed suddenly. Not to mention the slapping from him coming straight out of nowhere, making him also seem just plain rude. Then the CG also just randomly appears and doesn't transition well, making it feel out of place (But I think the same goes for the rest of them)

I would continue on, but after the coin-flipping CG I really stopped trying to read into it I'm afraid. I glossed over the rest of the text from there and it seemed to still lack everything I already talked about. I was really looking forward to this game's release but I'm sad to say it didn't deliver. However just because the writing really lacks, doesn't mean the rest of the game (Art, design, story premise, all that stuff) doesn't have great potential. At least that's what I think, that everything else has great potential, and that's why I'm writing this. I hope this helps.

So. Utterly. Beautiful. It honestly left me speechless, when you said you teamed up to make a kick-ass story, you weren't fucking kidding, my god...
I guess this story touched me so deeply because of how I felt I could relate to it, but even if I didn't, the writing was so outstanding it made me start to cry, which is something I so very rarely do haha. Not to mention the flow of the story, the INSANE unique style of art, and the perfect music to really set the mood. This whole entire VN is just pure and beautiful art. It felt like it was the perfect length of how short stories should be. Everything just blends so well together that I really cant think of much that could be wrong with this (at least from me, we all know others will lmao)
This was such a good read, and it instantly goes very high into my favorites. 

Oh god LMAO the last thing I could have ever expected for background music was Rock Thing by Creo, that's such a good choice haha.

citation needed... for what?
Yes im sure you want proof for yourself, but I said im not sharing their instagram. They had it linked before, but subsequently removed it later for their own reasons, and im not going to publicize their privacy.

Lol what? Adastra is by Echo Project and Haps was the artist for it 

This VN absolutely BLEW my mind!

I usually head into new VNs not expecting much, but this... i was not prepared for something THIS good. I felt like I was constantly intrigued, especially for how much content there was for a first release? Like, wow haha, it was just so much fun to read overall! Not to mention the amount of time I'm sure that went into all the backgrounds, sprites, and CGs with all of those subtle variations; just amazing work. 

I'm super excited to see where this goes!

Damn alright, guess I'll have to wait for a future event that may require it to see if i have actually completed it or not. Thank you for the help though! Your guide is very useful as it helped me with a couple other things as well :D

I thought i might have but i never remember actually doing it, wouldnt it have kept lvl 2 of the den unlocked if i did?

I tried all the steps, but nothing new happens in the dark swamp and there isnt any new question marks at the specified zones in the misty abyss or the wolves den, and wolves den lvl 2 is locked for me. Though on step 6 , theres a swamp werewolf there that im able to fight, but i tried killing, dominating, and submitting to it but moving to step 7 theres no talk option that appears.

OK cool yeah thats what I originally thought, but Im pretty sure have that whole werewolf story done so I dunno why I still can’t start the event, cause I should have everything it says I need to trigger it 

Hey guys, I'm here to clear up any confusion:

I was here when this VN was first released, and originally there was a link to the creator's Instagram as that was the only way to contact them at the time. The creator probably removed that link for a reason so I will not be sharing it.

I understand that the last post made to their Twitter account was very concerning, as they announced that they were feeling under the weather, and then haven't made a post since then (May 20th, 2021).

That being said I do still have their Instagram and don't worry they have not passed away or anything like that. At the time of writing this, their last post was on June 14th, 2022. So they probably just simply pulled away from any of their social media involving this VN. 

Thank you for understanding :)

Right lol, I’ve looked at the update notes many times, but like I said I don’t exactly know what the “WW story”  is

Oh sorry i actually didnt mean that for Logans hearts, i know you cant get them on the bottom route, i was just talking about starting the troubles in the den event in general on the bottom route

Kinda unrelated; Im on Logans bottom route but im missing something to start the Troubles in the den event. When i enter Bernards shop nothing happens, I have the Misty Abyss unlocked, though i dont exactly know what the "WW story" is. Any help?

Yeah I did, I didn’t notice anything new in the events tab 

I'm confused on how to start the "Troubles in the den" event, I keep going to bernard and nothing happens, i also tried step 2 and 3 in case i already started it somehow but nothing happens either. 
Im on the logan bottom route and i have the misty abyss unlocked, i dont know what the WW story is tho. Any help?

Also i found another small bug. The score i would receive after playing on hard mode for "Fallen Demon", would show up on the best score for easy mode, not hard mode. 

Yeah i could agree a bit, i personally have no problem reading the arrows, but i would say they are a bit small to see, and the columns are a bit too spaced for me. 

Also, it doesnt necessarily matter which way the arrows are pointing as long as it gets the job done. If you go and look at some other rhythm games that have customizable skins, you would see that, yes there are some that have arrow skin pointing in different directions, but there are also skins that have something like circles, where it doesnt matter which way they are pointing as long as you can read them.

This game is a really interesting concept, and I'm absolutely loving it! For this game only being in beta, it has a ton of potential.

I was worried when i tried the first level, and was hoping that the charting wouldn't be bad, and it wasnt! Especially on Hard mode for "Fallen Demon" (Really awesome song by the way!) the charting was really fun to play, and very well timed and mapped to the song.  Aside from the glitch where once you get passed 1000 combo it makes the left most arrow register weird, it was fun to hit the jacks throughout the song and streams during build-ups before the drops.

Even though the mapping was easy for me to play, it was super hard trying to not to stare at the background while playing at the same time hehe.

I would definitely love to help out with creating the game if possible, like creating some charts for new songs, or just helping out in general, or something like that :D

Cant wait to see more!

LOL wait

What exactly is going on here in the main menu? This is funny 😂

oh ok yeah that looks like it, thanks ^^

I'm curious, what program/engine was this game created with?

Oh man its quite a bummer to see 72 hours worth of playtime go down the drain. I even had 10k coins lmao. 

But this is probably best to go back and look at everything that has changed instead of just moving forward, i will definitely grind till i get back to where i was lol.

Very good start! I already feel hooked, and i enjoyed the beginning very much. Looking forward to more!
