WOOOOOOW!!!
Just played Wes route - the romantic one (I think bahaha), saw on comments that there's like 2-3 routes for everyone - and DAMN, I LOVED IT <3
Gonna play again to see the other routes - and unlock everything on gallery xP - liked a lot that function it too... always awesome to be able to go back on the art without needing to load a specific save
Well, this novel is oficially one of my favorites now :D and I still haven't even checked it whole LOL for sure it's 5 stars hehe
*SPOILERS AND "ESSAY" ALERT* xP
Besides, just noticed that I came back to this game after 1 year LOL
Okay, 1 year and some days bahaha
And I must say: SO MUCH IMPROVEMENT!!!
U changed basically everything LOL I needed to start a new save 'cuz all dialogues were different but damn, was it worth it!
The story became waaaaay better from that point :D
Also, loved the animations haha moreso for the one's for the characters - Cedric tapping fingers really does seem like a match for him haha makes the experience more hmm vivid? I mean, made me feel more like he was really a person and I was REALLY interacting with him.
So uhm, lemme try an analysis xP
World Background
It's well made, set in a fantasy world, where most of the story occurs, with some parts mixed with what presumedly is a world like ours - I mean, modern and all, without furry people tho.
Found no loophole in the world construction - which is awesome! - and it was developed in a amazing way!
It was being shown (I mean, the World being explained) along the story very well, enough to make me curious, but without being too fast so as to interrupt the story flow - or even disrupt the plot - or make me lose interest.
Writing Quality
It surprises me that - at least on Wes romance route - there was almost no typo WOW (yeah, I'm kinda "sharp" when reading other people stuff LOL), so there was probably a good revision and all for it :D
Also, the typos I found - which were like 2 or 3 - were simple things, nothing too much to the point of making it hard to understand.
The words used were also very good...I myself am no wizard of English, so a bumpkin or too formal of a vocabulary would be damn hard to understand - and kinda boring, because I'd need to stop the game to check translation or dictionary a lot...
Character Desing
Can't sat much in that regard as I've only played one route, but so far, so DAMN GOOD xP
Well, they felt like people and to me it realy felt like I was interacting with them - moreso with all the different dialogues across the options hehe, really felt "real" :D they were all well developed, full of personality - like a person LOL
Besides, damn, they're all hot bahaha
Soundtrack
While playing I tought of asking about the soundtrack because damn dude, it's soooooo good and implements very well with the story :D
Like, in a tense moment the music really makes ya feel tense, if the story moment is happy the music REALLY is happy - and contagious - and so on haha
And I do know that music doesn't exactly needs to be good to listen to put u on a determined emotional state - it's all frequency and all - but those used on this game made that work perfectly while also being very pleasurable to listen - whlln, I'm listening the main menu music while writing this xP
Thanks for placing all the music info on the end, names of artists, links and all that, tho I really missed a soundroom option here...I think this was the 2nd game that really made me want to keep listening to it's soundtrack xP (to show how good it is haha)
Art
The art is awesome!
It seemed like some BGs was just an image froom Google or wathever with blurr efect, but even those were well fitting for the story and the ones that were actually painted were also an awesome work of art :D full of details, a feast for the eyes bahaha
The CGs are cute and lovely - tho I have seen only 2 at the moment... -, the only thing I found weird was that the characters on the CGs were veeeeeeery diferent from their sprites.
And talking about the sprites for the characters, they're all very well made too, again a good emphasize on detais (more than the usual for VNs), with expressions - a lot - and even an animation specific for each character :D that was pretty cool!
Loved the animations for Void too :D - tho they take a tool on slower devices LOL, glad u put on/off option for that.
Gallery option is awesome for coming back to those cool arts later :D could add an option to see the BGs and sprites there too...
I do confess I'm missing NSFW stuff tho BAHAHA dunno if there is any on it, as I found none yet...still gonna check the other routes haha
Story Development
Well, the story was amazing!
It developed well, it was a very smooth reading, I was really engrossed on it bahaha really felt absorbed, like I was actually living the story LOL - which yeah, that proves that u wrote a good story :P not every writer can make people feel like they're inside their story haha
There was no forced plot, it simply developed in a perfect pace :D
I did find some weird things, but nothing major - will repot later.
The story was full of emotions hahaha was a rollecoaster xP it has the right amount of jokes - laughed a lot! <3 -, suspense, romance, drama etc. it's a good mix! I simply think it lacked a bit of lewdness LMAO
When I saw that it has the NSFW on/off option I was thinking it had some sex scenes - well, the synopsis even says so - but when I turned that option on and looked across Wes route, I only found a handjob part - only text, no CG... dunno if there's none or I simply haven't found it
I haven't played all the routes yet, but for sure the epilogue was a bit short for Cedric on Wes route when compared to Luke epilogue, but well, can live with it bahaha and a bit sad for Reamus... he seemed really cool (and hot) so I kinda wanted to see more of him - was expecting him to appear too :x - tho I dunno if there's a way for him to appear based on choices...dunno if he's really a route even LOL
Also, kinda sad I didn't got to see the wedding - or if they were actually later, and more importatly, what made them late *wink*
Controls
Well, pretty basic, as Ren'py itself is very easy to use and there wasn't any new machinic that's hard to use...there isn't much what to talk about haha
Simply glad that there's an on/off option for lots of things - that pretty useful!
Overall
For sure a VN that I recommend anyone that likes VNs - moreso with furry - to play and enjoy too :D
Okay, so some things I did found that need some atention - or I'm simply sharing my view LOL
The was a bug on which sometimes the "typing" sound of new text appearing kept reapeting itself in a loop even when the text on screen was over - I mean, there no new text.
This one didn't happen in a specific point of the game, it happened a lot during all my playtrough when opening the menu while the text was still "loading" - I mean, it appearing aongside the typing sound.
On Wes route, I wanted to check the horny stuff and noticed that while dirty of cum, I visit Cedric AND HE DOESN'T SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT IT... I mean, the fck, a dude full of cum is in front of ya and u ask nothing?
Also, if I'm not mistaken, you go out to meet that girl - forgot her name - still dirty of cum............#pig LMAO
So... I haven't asked him that, but no matter the choice, he always starts explaining what is that place...
Celdric is missing a costume too...maybe wrong sprite for him?
The Void *IS*...?
Pretty sure it was me asking that - for sure Sky wasn't asking that to himself.
*Because*
Eh, no, they're not, missing blush effect on their sprites...
Here I was supposed to be wearing t-shirt and boxers... where the heck are those pockets then? '-'
There's a lot of "along" here, no? xP
Just checked Wes horny stuff and found this typo "togheter"
Well and that's it for now xP
Till I play more routes, that's it bahaha
I'm in a mix of "happy that I played it till the end and got a good ending with romance", but sad that it ended too fast cuz it's too good and I wanted more bahaha - specially about that world, if it really crumbled and Reamus is dead AND NSFW stuff LMAO
Hope u make a sequel of this one or make more VNs :D
Also, congratz for the masterpiece! *applause* <3
