I very rarely leave comments on here (lurker grindset), but I just had to stop by and leave something for the creator and every collaborator. This is a genuinely really, really well made VN, and I haven't felt this invested in a narrative or this surprised by excellent character writing since Echo. Props to everyone involved, seriously, but especially to the writers.
The MC's characterization is handled with a sense of emotional maturity that's kiiinda rare in other furry VNs; his reactions to the events that unfold feel real and profound. Being essentially whisked away from the life they know and placed in a totally unfamiliar -- and sometimes very hostile -- environment is given the gravitas it deserves. It's exactly because of the traumatizing nature of the premise that the MC's willingness to form connections so quickly with their guardians is not only believable, but borderline necessary from their perspective. Who else could they rely on otherwise, after all? So yeah, seriously, I really enjoyed inhibiting the mind of a person who actually feels REAL for once instead of just an empty vessel for escapism and wish fulfilment (not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that approach but variety is neat).
The same goes for all the other characters. They're complex and flawed and -- ironically enough -- "human". The only character that felt a little out of place so far was the captain; there was just a hint of superficiality to her, as if she didn't quite occupy the same space as others and was there to address the player rather than the MC. Kind of a fourth-wall breaking vibe that I'm certain will make way more sense as the narrative unfolds. Oh boy I'm rambling
In short, kudos to everyone. Keep up the great work, y'all got something special here~
