Since itch does not have a way to view public reviews, I’ll post it here:
First a confession: I ignored this VN back then because I wasn’t interested in deer furs but eventually, I decided I should play it for the sake of the story.
Now on to the main review.
Dawn Chorus.
A very sensual VN written with great care and mindfulness. It felt like a breath of fresh air from the usual furry VN I played before that focuses more on hot characters you’ll drool over or a roller coaster ride of suspense and thrill. No. For me, it was all about feelings and connecting with people.
The VN itself despite giving you an option to choose a route (in a subtle manner) still allows you to bond with other characters in an intimate way. No event is not without a purpose nor felt like a filler. You can say it’s like a getaway, a therapy, a peaceful perfect world you can dive into and live in without the harshness of the outside world where you can float and relax.
Looking into technical writing, I felt that it wasn’t forced, it wasn’t too expressive, nor too strong. Simple words masterfully selected and manipulated to ensure the lightheartedness of each dialogues but still retains the deep feelings and emotions that one can understand without having to think.
I’d honestly recommend this to anyone who wants a wonderful vacation in a peaceful snowy covered lodge with wonderful people and a hearty meal for the soul.
- A 10/10 from a very picky VN player
