Lust Shards
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Lust Shards is a brand new NSFW Furry Visual Novel, focused on a fantasy romance academy story.
Chapter 1
Day 2 of Alvy's route is OUT NOW!
HOW TO ACCESS:
In the route split choose the 4th option "I don't feel like talking to anyone".
After that it is required that you complete Therium's route to access the newest update.
When the loop happens at the end of Therium's route, simply choose the second option.
If you already played day 1 you'll have the option to skip it and go straight to day 2.
3 of 4 paths are currently completed for Chapter 1 and part 1/3 of the 4th path.
This world is filled with Nightfallen, monsters driven by lust and magic, that must be dealt with by Hunters, through whichever means necessary.
Having been scouted by a prestigious academy for Hunters, you embark on your new life, little did you know, your abilities and looks would catch the eye of a lot of people here, for better or worse. You'll meet a wide cast of characters with 4 main paths, each with their own quirks and personalities, choose your path and get them to love you!
This year, it's just your luck, because the new headmaster is implementing a new start of the year test, to filter out the weak and leave the strong, who knows why? Maybe you'll find out.
If you do not manage to pass the test, then you can say goodbye to your love interests, all that while trying to figure out the secrets of the academy and your new 'imaginary' friend.

This VN is just unhinged, I don't know hot it can be so cute, hot and amazingly funny at the same time x) My neighbors must things I'm crazy hearing me laugh lol
But also like damn.... I liky :3
Love Alvys route, it's so funny bro, probably my favorite route out rn
just curios how often dose the VN get updated. really looking forward to chapter 2. :3
Usually 3-4 months per update.
thank you :3
You know what I want? I wanna see Cody white having a villain arc that would be so cool or a yandere but it seems theruim or that his name already looks like a yandere cause I been thinking this for a while now
But wait I want to ask one more to Is Cody white will be the most strongest character if he will able to awaken his true power?
Yes, I believe. He manipulate energy itself which means he can uses all sort of magics. And the facts that it already introduced to us that he can absorbs mana from outwardly, from air itself, means his actual mana pool=the world 🌎. And like he's also basically anti-magic in a world of magic. Once he reaches his full potential, he won't be needing the medallion to do it. But ehhh...if author don't wanted him to then he'll never be able to reach that level XD.
So theoretically he's one of the strongest. Not sure how fare he'll against something like time/space and reality manipulation though.
And maybe something like Cody just meant for support role you know? With his almost infinite many he can buffs Tate to be able to teleport simultaneously, Aiden able to clone more than 2 version of himself(Big Five Tiger), and Dallan Domain Expansion.
But then again, raw potential without the skill/experience/wit to wield it? Cody's nothing more than a battery for others to uses. Literally someone can kept him hostage and makes him ageless them uses him to power and charge stuffs.
His current problem is his lack of capacity, Aside from expanding that, he needs to learn to channel mana through himself rather than from himself.
I did not expect to see him to congratulate me at the end, kinda hoping to see my kitties face again (not complaining tho, that wolf is my favorite character). His lore was crazy, I love how the ending was, and how he trusted us THAT much, to the point he let us... (no spoilers here, play it yourself!). Anyway, I was planning on waiting till Alvy's route is fully out before playing it... but I aint that patient... so I'm gonna go play with it! (No I don't mean my co-... possibly)
Damn it scribbles! why did you remove the part with Cody and alvy in a maid outfit, you have denied us a great treasure! i wanna see it =(
Spoiler maybe? Bunches of questions for author though.
Alright first, Scribble love us? Since when? But also just a thought, that out of all the Demon of sins, Lust demon are already prostrate as the most morale and kind(to some extent maybe) out of all the others. Re: Zero witch of Lust are shy and her authority makes her the person you wanted to see most all in the name of love/affection rather than lewd stuffs. Helluva Boss and now this game.
Scribble also might be one of the weakest when compared to others demon, alone that it. Might boost if with significant others and yadayada, you know the stuffs.
Also, Aha! Therium is Envy, just like I thought. And that bitch used Cody for his plan with Alvy. Still have doubt on the comments Therium said though, not sure what I truely understand what he mean. ("It's not just your body after all.") So is like Therium affection for Alvy merely because of the demon possessed him? And was this also the case for Alvy demon too? That they approvals of Cody and that's why Therium is jealous? ("Why that stupid leopard and not me").
The only night fallen resonates with Cody is dragon, typical protagonist plot armor.
A certain Tiger drooling over Cody in maid dress, ey? Shapeshifting, ey? Aiden, you dog~~(or cat in this sense). Don't know why that kinda makes me like him more.
holy the fact that cody resonated with THAT nightfallen type went over my mind, brilliant work fennik
Yeah, nobody sure what Cody nightfallen type are. It's never resonate with anyone else before even when demon nightfallen are **somewhat** common to the academy summoners.
Then the hints with Therium that he thought Cody favourite nightfallen are Dragon (same as him).
Deadset on when the "Love by Nightfallen child" like Alvy still cannot resonates with Cody's gem and Cody gem merged and evolved.
OMG, AIDENS ROUTE IS SO WELL MADE! I expected it to have similar interactions to the other paths, like other VN. but I was wrong! it's was entirely different! And I absolutely loved it! This VN is now in my top 2! I need more, I'm gonna do Tate's route now, I'm actually VERY excited rn, I need more content like this! I'll give you my opinion on it when I finish it, it'll probably be Tomorrow, or 2 days. See yall soon~ (I need to be put in horny Jail)
Looks lovely! Hopefully Tate doesn't see HIS snow leopard sitting with someone else :D
definitely not
This is awesome :3
Edit: LAKE AND SIDD SPOTTED
I wonder what are they watching....?
Just finished Dallan's route, my heart was everywhere bro, this was so well made! I'm gonna start Aiden route next! I'm so excited! I love this VN, I would donate, but my Wallet is on life support rn... I look forward for this VN to continue! IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD! I'm glad I gave it a chance, at first I was hesitating because of the amount of storage it took, but now I don't regret a thing, this is one of the best VN I have ever seen, I'm so glad I decided to give it a chance!
amazing games im crying for scribbles and cody man, also we better be able to befriend alvy in the main scribbles route!
SPOILERS
i have a sneaking suspicion Scribbles true name is Zerkues, the leader of the nightfallen when they were still called demons, he is technically a demon since ALL night fallen were demons at the time, also their color pallet matches up, and the wound scribbles has on his back looks suspiciously like scars of wings that were cut off
We got Lust Shards theories before gta6
Shhhhh, ur spoiling it >:(
thats like...what the spoiler warning is for :V
shhhhh I'm more curious than curious George, I would have died if I didn't read it
i think cody has a patch/sticker of his head on his bag which you can see during alvy's rout
It's a chicken tender. No, no it's not.
I'm loving Alvy's route so muchhhhhh their relationship is so precious...
some thoughts below
--Spoilers--
Something I fw A LOOOOOT are characters with little to none social experience, it makes every interaction a bit more unique and funny, and then you have the "I wasn't supposed to do this?" situations, one of the reasons I love Alvy so much
I like how these routes show Cody has a certain talent on summoning, its very interesting to see how it feels more natural to him, makes the whole "recommended student" label more bearable and less pressurizing than in other routes
Its also cool that this route overall is very... detached from the rest of the academy's students, most of the time we're avoiding the others (mainly Coal and Rose) and hanging around with Alvy, kind of what we did with Therium, but way more fun and intimate, it kinda reminds me of Tate's route, which is my other favorite one
I really hope this route gets to make Alvy justice, its already one of the best in terms of vibes, I kinda wish he was one of the main routes
Oh and I loved the bit with Haima, felt just as nice as hanging around with them in Aiden's route
EDIT! I had a question that was related to the gallery, but after writing this I saw the dev log and oh well, I guess I got my answer
thats it! love this vn 👌
Reread Alvy's entire route for Christmas and it was as heartwarming and interesting as ever 😭🙏 I love that dog too much atp
- Minor spoilers ahead -
But one part has me curious, when Cody assumed they were both virgins. What did Alvy mean by "I'm also regretting it because of you"? I was thinking it was either because of their growing bond or simply because of Cody's assumption. (Probably a dumb question bc im not rlly the best at reading into these things 😭)
He's regretting it because he realized he would've loved to lose it to Cody instead :]
I just played the new chapter and, GOD. I love so much Alvy, also I'm so intrigued for his story.
This game is really addictive! 😍🤩
alvy is just extremely cute i love him!
I like Tiger Thread because it's really my dish，In addition, I also like his personality, but unfortunately, I saw that the update only stayed on that night for two people. If possible, I hope their story continues
ALVY'S ROUTE IS SO GO0D BRUH. PLS MAKE IT A MAIN AND I CANT BELIEVE U LEFT US ON A CLIFFHANGER 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Considering how different and less romance-focused the route seems from the other three, I'd argue that it could be THE main story, other than it does feel like more of an alternate path deviating from the main storyline (With the whole "I don't feel like talking to any of them" thing.)
I think the last part of Scribbles route
(Being actually Scribbles) would be the "canon" story with Therium being key characters in the route (Hence his route being Scribbles's part 1) the other routes are basically just optional developments for the characters you like.
(Who knows, maybe chapter 2 you choose what ending you got before starting the game :D, although that's still a bit away)
This visual novel is just awsome also anyone else notice the butterfly at the traintracks on tate's route
I've found this VN about two days ago and am in love with it! However, me being a completionist is driving me INSANE because I have no idea how to get the last two images (page 3, bottom two images) in Dallan's NSFW gallery, so if anyone knows, please be my saving grace.
I've got to say, none of it has had anything to do with Dallan, which is disappointing, but is very fitting for him. Take it slow, big guy!
Aiden's route was good fun, too! I finished the entirety of Aiden's gallery including the NSFW ones, it wasn't too bad to get 'em all, unlike Dallan's. XD
I also heard Aiden's route was gonna get reworked? Sounds interesting, I wonder if any old images will be scrapped n' replaced with new ones.
I can also help anyone who needs a saving grace on getting the gallery for either Aiden or Dallan lol
I can't unlock these two CGS neither😭😭
I can't tell exactly what choices I made to get that scene, but it's related to Chelsie's inventions (after her sex scene) and Tate being in detention. Though if it's just an issue with the gallery not recognizing that you saw that, that's just the gallery needing to be redone as MindOfFur mentioned in the latest devlog.
After realizing I never played Aiden's route, I started doing so and I noticed this slight error in the text for the arena scene when it's the mc's turn to fight the dummy
this is so dumb.
marry me😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Dallan is obviously spamton after getting a [HEART-SHAPED OBJECT]. There's no other explanation for his surname.
Just finished reading and it was nice. I imagine since in therium's route, cody summons a small nightfallen and got a bigger one in alvy's, will he get the true form and find all the pieces in scribbles route? Although the one thing i kinda feel bad about in alvy's route is how much worse and worse scribbles condition gets.
As for gameplay aspect unfortunately there are some error messages that annoys me and the gallery was not properly updated as the new update's cg doesn't show up in the gallery.
Yeahhh. I Geniunely Hope Scribbles will be okay. Feel like the mc needs to exercise more like actual concern at him BLEEDING. Yeah the gallery isnt updated yet, I did see that. : P
Is Scribble bleeding related to Cody beings weak and overly exercise himself? That Cody body/soul are crumbling without him knowing because he's such a dumbass? Or is the bleeding is specifically Scribble only?
And if that's truely the reason the crack happened? Or there's something else? Like bonding maybe?
Edit: Actually never mind. Scribble cracking/bleeding are the cause of his lies. Demon can't lies but manipulate the truth, if they lies bad things happens. The crack get bigger because Scribble said "He's fine/not upset with Cody" almost cracked again in the next sentence before he stopped himself by redirect the conversation.
Oooooh, I never realized that. im dumb, that makes a lot more sense then. I thought it was like, the barrier was breaking cause their bond was growing or something. but that makes a ton more sense.
Love the new update. I loved the story, and like the realism of Like how you can hear gossip, and rumors or something. It helps like connect the routes together, I like it. Makes it more realistic. To Be honest, I feel like the MC should be more worried about scribbles. I know I am. In any case, loved the update. Great story, and I absoloutely love the Humor. 10/10. Hope scribbles will be alright, can't wait for more! Geniunely lost myself In the story. My opinion, Best VN by far. Geniunely Love the work and passion put into it. Geniunely take this game for granted XD
*Cough-cough walkthrough*?* Who said that? Couldn't have been THIS poor soul who wants to have all the gallery images unlocked 🥹
same
Awwwh I already need the next update 🥺 There are currently two visual novels close to my heart, first is Repeat, my very first visual novel I ever read and Lust Shards. That world is just so fantastic and idealistic, I want to escape there. It always hurts so much to go back to reality after a Lust Shards update. No body problems, no existential crisis, no panic attacks, I can be "normal", the way real life should work, a world that's not cruel about your persona, it is in fact, a dream come true. It always make my soul ache.
I can agree on everything you said here... The happiness and excitement I get while reading those two make me forget about my problemss
But the lingering feeling after that is just more than depressing though. :/ I guess that's the balance. Some time away from reality in exchange for depression, still worth it. :D
Damn right it is!
Alvy, my beloved.
I love Scribble♥
My personal favorite is the Aiden line. I really appreciate the image of a person who only cares about you and is irritable. Whether it's playing guitar in the sunset or Aiden opening up to you after getting to know each other, it's truly heartwarming. Although there are few stories about other minor supporting role, they are very refined. From one glance, we can see their character characteristics. Everyone is different, as if they really survived, and are no longer bound in the game.
Very good writing really enjoyed the game one of a
the very few games that put a smile on my face while playing,
keep up the good work :)
rather lore heavy !!! but i like it
On a serious note; i wanted to ask if after the first time Cody gets erased by Therium - is the third option supposed to be the upcoming Scribbles route?
I was meaning to ask because while Alvy's route is great and all - i feel a bit bad for the demon having feelings not be reciprocated by Cody - also because i was ultimately confused.
Does anyone know how to trigger tate route cg in gallery page 10 and 11?
Rather extreme spoilers:
No, I'm serious, this will give away basically Tate's entire route:
That's where he has the whole naming thing (where apparently, you can't actually tell him "Tate" or "Tate Foster", and have to wait for Scribbles to tell you).
My exact choices were (Once you've selected Tate's route): "No time to waste", "You're innocent", "Yes", "No Way", "Nope nope" (Though this may or may not have an effect because you'll still be a virgin outside of orally), "Go with the cat", "Take a look around", "I absolutely mean it", "Could be handy",
(The one asking about each character and then with the food has no impact, but for the record I usually ask about all 3 people and pick "cereal with milk", "eggs and bacon", and "fruit", then "that's it"),
"Hell nah", "Yes (Truth)" (This has no effect whatsoever on the game), "Let Tate know", Any of the Never Have I Ever options though I usually pick "Fancied a friend's parent", Pick all three names in the looking ball (No effect), "Lovingly" (Though it probably has no effect),
At this point, nothing ultimately seems to impact getting the scene: No matter what choices, it eventually happens. Ask the two all the questions on screen about their clan/tribe(?), depending on personal choice either "Go Gathering" or "Stay in camp". You're knocked out anyways, but I typically choose to go with the group, and then say "I can't do this..." allowing you to stay a virgin, like you said you would to Tate. In the scene you're trying to unlock, he'll ask if you're still a virgin, but only on this route. Either saying "No" or "Yes" has the same effect.
still can not open cg 10 and 11 well have open 1 cg happy ending in gallery 10 but not the rest
ok i just send you thank you very much
So many giggles in the latest update x3 Really hope there will be a path/way to stay with Therium at some point.
sorry but can we get more headmaster interaction plz plz plz (without breaking Aiden's heart maybe)
Woah okay, okay Alvy you don't need to flash... (save to gallery)
First: i love the update and im appreciated the effort of making that (i can tell that you worked really hard on this update, thank you)
Second: im now really curious about Alvy's past and scribbles, im looking forward to the next update
Wish you the best
Alvy's very, I mean very juicy
*Ahem* I mean his lore.
Alvy's mom can roll over and die
And Therium.... I'm calling child protection at him,
goddamn stalker.Yes, Alvy's mom give me little antipathy while Therium is...um.. unacceptably weird... But the story of about Alvy is really well built. I can't wait to see the next update about this lovely golden boy
Yes, Alvy literally has a golden retriever personality, albeit subtle,
And also, who is Therium talking about? The one where he says "why doesn't he like me?". I'm so confused.
either scribbles or cody i cant tell
I think Therium is talking about scribbles
I though he was talking about Alvy
Because I think the “stupid leopard” would be Cody
Ok now that I think about it, it could be Scribbles, which we met in “about the past 4 days”?
It might be, since it is Scribbles route for a reason.
Even if I'm enjoying Alvy here, don't get me wrong
But anyways! Our precious demon (dragon?) is hurt! What's happening to him?! 😭 😭
Hey, love the new update, Alvy has been the
secondbest boy, great update!Also I'm trying to complete Dallan's gallery route on the NSFW, the only one left is the third page, third panel, I really can't find it.
And shameless self-upvote *Evil Tate laugh*
That part of Dallan's gallery and the gallery as a whole is a little broken at the moment.
oh. Noted, and thanks for the reply, I hope to see more of you're work too! I'm really enjoying this VN😁
And another shameless self-upvote *Evil Tate laugh*
I'm so worried for Scribbles 😫😭 I hope he's okay 😔
I said it before, and I'll say it again for the public update! Alvy continues to be my favorite character out of all of them!! Alvy's personality, his character design, the story, the artwork, they're all phenomenal. I can't say how much I enjoyed this update, this update was so amazing! I remember it being said that the story is going to follow the main character all throughout his school career, and I know Alvy is just part of Scribbles route (I least I think he's just a side route), but I hope he has his own route or at least we can choose him throughout the entire story.
Another fantastic update what can I say!!!!!!
-- SPOILERS BELOW--
ALVY IS PRECIOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, Alvy's mom can choke and die, and Therium GET A JOBBBBB GET AWAY FROM US.
What I continue to love about this VN is that it's clear you really thought about what was happening outside of our POV, like Tate and Aidan (and later Dallan) doing the whole Wild Furs thing, Chelsie's crush on Rose, and the implication that Bean and Jerry are together again, it really makes the world feel so much more alive and realistic in the sense that these feel like actual people living their lives that aren't involved with you. Also the humor???? This VN has made me audibly laugh so many times. I am so excited to see where this goes, I do wonder if the main three routes will continue to be more fluffy and a cutesy romance VN while this route explores the more tense topics. Either way, very very excited!
100% Agreed! Can't wait for future updates! Speaking of, Hope scribbles is alright : P
