I have slowly started to categorize all the VN's I find enjoyable and here's a short (heh?) entry about this one for anyone who might be interested.
Please do read to the end before you jump into conclusions. This is one of my VN favorites because of the likeable and well written characters and because of the humor - and the use of music. As a word of warning: I have only played Aiden's and Dallan's route.
This is more of a dating sim than adventuring game currently, and despite its name and the backstory, there's actually not much sex at all! You are forced to pick one of the three main NPCs very early on and you can't even flirt with the others. I believe there's some bisexual content in Dallan's route, but I didn't choose to pursue it. There are also a few random sex scenes and one *grr* ... well, not spoiling it... but I want to smash that "#%¤% face for... NoT SPoiLinG It!
There's absolutely no fighting mechanics but I'm still going to push it into "hero's journey" category of VNs because the MC has the "chosen by higher powers to become something great" backstory. The current iteration covers only a few days of game time - which is actually pretty substantial amount of dialogue BUT there's a lot of stuff that happens within that timeframe.
It has a lot of funny dialogue (albeit at times bad spelling), and very good use of music to set the mood. I'm not much into the twink types like the MC, but despite this I very much enjoyed being in his shoes, and I actually got emotional over a few things which is rare. The excellent use of music helps here... Oh, and did I also mention I like the game's music and how it is used... ? Yep, music! The best way to set mood!
I also like the way how they show time progressing within a scene with dots. If I ever get around to writing a visual novel I'll totally stea... borrow... that idea. Likeable characters, too. NSFW obviously.
True there is no battle mechanic, I wish they can add one but eh, its his game so I don't mind about it, what actually interesting to me is that about the characters and how they interact to each other. By far the best vn game I ever played.
Yeh, but Hero's Advent didn't have initially one either, and last time I played it, it wasn't used much. Maybe this is something that will be added later but I'm perfectly fine even if it's not.
In the next update after 2 path has been updated, in chapter 2 are we gonna do like a little battle simulator in the forest if so is nice, and if not thats ok I will read it anyway:D (nice ending on the chapter 1, makes me giggle a little)
Wow, did Dallan's route and did not expect some of the surprises that were in there. But really enjoyed them all the same, can't wait to read more when the other updates come out.
I thought Aiden's secret would turn out to be something else - and it kind of did but also not really. The revelation actually makes sense when you consider it's a magical world but I approached it from more mundane perspective.
Starting from the scene where MC's face meets his fist and the reaction of the... well, you know who... I was pretty sure he had some .... head... issues. I was surprised this wasn't the case (even if it sort of is).
I'm ready to guess this is what @MindOfFur intended, too!
I love the new update, Dallan's route is so fun and wholesome he's the best boy for sure! The twist at the end caught me pleasantly off guard too, that picnic scene is definitely my favorite so far. The writing and presentation is absolutely on point in this route too, and such a nice improvement compared to the first release. I especially love all the chibi illustrations, they make those scenes fun and visually engaging. Can't wait for Tate's route!
P.s.: also is it just me, out do I detect a hint of inspiration from Tennis Ace's Shoichi in Dallan? Hard working, protective student leader type? ;)
I absolutely love this game! The dialogue, while it definitely has some small errors here and there, (and I think would be improved with a bit more punctuation,) is really fun, and I love the dynamic between the characters!
The scenes are fun, though I've only done Aiden's route so far, I love how even some sfw moments get full images, they help draw you in.
All in all, would definitely recommend, one of my favorite VNs that I've read. I would donate via patreon, but sadly am broke, so I'll just have to watch and wait for the public builds.
The "oh, that's why" hits unexpectedly hard on Dallan's route. I have many guesses but that wasn't my on list and I wasn't ready for that. Good job on this update. I see a lot of improvement. Very few typos compare to the previous build. Although, there are some wrong dialogue being showed like when it was supposed to be a narration but it shows as someone was saying it and if I remember correctly, there is 1 each for Chelsie and Dallan (I have a memory life span of a baby goldfish so I could be very wrong and yes, I didn't take a screenshot of those errors. I'm so sorry)
Woow what can I say about this update, I laughed a lot, shed tears, my heart melted with tenderness and my feelings were like a roller coaster, I really enjoyed every minute. Keep it up, I can't wait for the next update.
Hey I'm sorry to be a bother but could you possibly put platform tags on the 1.1 update, I use the itch.io app and you can't download games without platform tags, once again sorry to be a bother, but if you could that would be greatly appreciated.
This was a fantastic update! I love the little meta joke about his family seeing him as the runt of the family, especially considering how ironic our response is to that considering what we learn later. Wishing you luck fellow university student, and I look forward to seeing what comes next.
You might want to look over the image for the detention scene, with Aiden at the front desk. His legs look too far away from his torso, like he was meant to be leaning back and stretched out, rather than sitting up mostly straight with his legs on the desk.
Omg.. I wasn't expecting to actually cry reading this. The forest scene was so good, I had my suspicions but it was a surprise nonetheless. Dallan was already my favorite character, but now I love him even more.
Thx for the update it was really well written. I like how their relationship is developing, can't wait for his chapter 2.
Also, he's up there in the good boy list alongside Amicus and Spencer now, such a pure bean❤️.
Rolling, crying, screaming at the new update... But in addition, this update is the best so far in my 2023, so unique and so... emotionally ;( Anyways this changes a lot and i hope you get lots of love in this vn.
Now i shall go back crying rolling and screaming while i read both route again because i like pain in my heart when it comes to beautiful stories
So Aidens route isnt being worked on right now, since its done for chapter one. And as far as i know, the next update, which is supposed to come out in probably a week or less (judging by a reply MindOfFur made 15 days ago), will have all the routes for chapter one done, though i might be wrong on this one, since ive got that info from a comment in here.
Chapter 1, there will be a small update with 2-3 cg's when the public version comes out, and an extra scene that I have an idea for whenever I have the time to do it. Chapter 2 will start after all Chapter 1 routes are done.
The full route of chapter one, yes, the second chapter will most likely be made into a different game with its own files so this one doesn't become over 2gb.
1. The development began in August, so its been almost 6 months since the start of the development (yes there was thr Hima update but that miniscule).
2. A 2 month old reply to a comment made by Charafemboy said that MindOfFur would be releasing it all in one go (its not the most reliable source, but combine that with the first argument and you get quite a nice picture)

It will most likely never have one since this is at core a dating sim, not an rpg.

Need.... Tate...
Yes Need Tate
I can NOT wait for the next update!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly speaking dallan was my favorite from the start and after playing this route I have some thoughts I wanna share
1, this route was really wholesome
2, the heart "scene" after the whole Chelsie incident hits different (broke my heart)
3, throughout the route Aiden's "secret" was visible
4,dallan's secret was well hidden and didn't change much (our wolf boy is still best boy and husbando)
5,I want to kill bean so bad
6, that bartender }:‑)
7,can't wait for future updates
8,we didn't get much Cody lore
9, scribbler's general entries though cute🥺
I thought Aiden's secret would turn out to be something else - and it kind of did but also not really. The revelation actually makes sense when you consider it's a magical world but I approached it from more mundane perspective.
Starting from the scene where MC's face meets his fist and the reaction of the... well, you know who... I was pretty sure he had some .... head... issues. I was surprised this wasn't the case (even if it sort of is).
I'm ready to guess this is what @MindOfFur intended, too!
One of the best I have played🫶🫰🪷

P.s.: also is it just me, out do I detect a hint of inspiration from Tennis Ace's Shoichi in Dallan? Hard working, protective student leader type? ;)
Glad you liked it! Even I am looking forward to the next route, and especially the next chapter ^^ Big plans, big plans.
P.S I haven't played tennis ace myself, so no :v
I absolutely love this game! The dialogue, while it definitely has some small errors here and there, (and I think would be improved with a bit more punctuation,) is really fun, and I love the dynamic between the characters!

Dallan <3
will there be a russian translation of the new version?
The "oh, that's why" hits unexpectedly hard on Dallan's route. I have many guesses but that wasn't my on list and I wasn't ready for that. Good job on this update. I see a lot of improvement.

can this get fixed please, I want to play! :(
I'm having the same problem.
Where is the guitar piece Aidan plays from? It was really nice to listen to!
Yes i can finally download it :
Hey I'm sorry to be a bother but could you possibly put platform tags on the 1.1 update, I use the itch.io app and you can't download games without platform tags, once again sorry to be a bother, but if you could that would be greatly appreciated.

im having a problom up dating it
While I was going through this route, I cried so much that I ran out of tears. It was just great!
Thank you for the wonderful story, thank you for the huge amount of cute CG's and thank you for my best and beloved Dallan!!
Can't wait for the next update! Thank you for your amazing work💕
And thank YOU for playing! ^^
You might want to look over the image for the detention scene, with Aiden at the front desk. His legs look too far away from his torso, like he was meant to be leaning back and stretched out, rather than sitting up mostly straight with his legs on the desk.
Absolutely worth the wait, I didn't expect the twist at all but now I'm remembering all the weird things from before and it's starting to make sense.
Same, I was like WhAT....ohhhhhhhh.
Now it makes sense why he can't play arcade games to well, among other things. It's a well placed twist, that's for sure.
Just finished the new build... Chef kiss dear author! I really love that little twist and Bean is excellent.
Congratulations I really liked the novel continue like this congratulations to your team.
Omg.. I wasn't expecting to actually cry reading this. The forest scene was so good, I had my suspicions but it was a surprise nonetheless. Dallan was already my favorite character, but now I love him even more.
Thx for the update it was really well written. I like how their relationship is developing, can't wait for his chapter 2.
Also, he's up there in the good boy list alongside Amicus and Spencer now, such a pure bean❤️.
Happy I could bring another lovable wolf to life ^^ Hopefully the other routes will make you feel all sorts of ways as well!
Rolling, crying, screaming at the new update... But in addition, this update is the best so far in my 2023, so unique and so... emotionally ;( Anyways this changes a lot and i hope you get lots of love in this vn.
Now i shall go back crying rolling and screaming while i read both route again because i like pain in my heart when it comes to beautiful stories
The one time when making someone cry is an absolute win and delight :D
After about half a year wait, its here! Still cant believe that I have been following the progress on this for so long, well, guess it has paid off
Glad you liked it ^^ It sucks that studying doesn't let me work more on my silly little furry projects, but that's how life be sometimes :x
This novel is just perfect, I love it!!! ★.★
Thanks for the update!
yay new update.
I can finally hangout with Dallan just a couple more days im soo exciter !!!!
just a few more days I'm so excited.
is their a therium route
Yep, there will be
Sorry, but when planned demon rout?
That will be worked on only after Tate's route is done.
Looking forward to Tate's route.
High levels of cuteness.
Yes indeed
I want to get it it looks good but I can’t sadly
There is, it's on Patreon and will come out with Dallan's route.
ok someone answer, is aiden route being done first or dallan? i remember the creator said that it would be aiden first but i dont even know now.
So Aidens route isnt being worked on right now, since its done for chapter one. And as far as i know, the next update, which is supposed to come out in probably a week or less (judging by a reply MindOfFur made 15 days ago), will have all the routes for chapter one done, though i might be wrong on this one, since ive got that info from a comment in here.
Aiden's full route is done and Dallan's is out on Patreon, also done, Tate's being worked on next.
when will the update with Dallas be made publicly available?
The start of February
roger-roger
Ohhh wow. Is Aiden route available on patreon or something? I've been looking everywhere for info on it.
Aiden's ch1 route was the first one released and can be downloaded from above
Do you mean dallan's chapter 1 is on patreon or full-full everything done, no more dallan updates after this one done?
Chapter 1, there will be a small update with 2-3 cg's when the public version comes out, and an extra scene that I have an idea for whenever I have the time to do it. Chapter 2 will start after all Chapter 1 routes are done.
I see, so game is split into chapters and that's what you meant by "full route".
The full route of chapter one, yes, the second chapter will most likely be made into a different game with its own files so this one doesn't become over 2gb.
Update will out this month?
Who is the next route?
Dallan
Seems we will have to wait longer to experience more cuteness from Tate.
Probably not
1. The development began in August, so its been almost 6 months since the start of the development (yes there was thr Hima update but that miniscule).
2. A 2 month old reply to a comment made by Charafemboy said that MindOfFur would be releasing it all in one go (its not the most reliable source, but combine that with the first argument and you get quite a nice picture)
Aiden is perfect
honestly one of my favorites....thats hard. i love aiden so much.
