I love Alvy a lot so I'm afraid to ask this question, but is Alvy a full route like the main 3 or is he just a side route until the romance with Scribbles starts? I've heard rumors his route will reset like the fake Therium intro and that Scribbles will be the canon love interest in the 3rd loop. Is there any way anyone can confirm this? I don't want to lose the cute dog :(

How could Mylo say that to Baxter... I was screaming for him to listen to Baxter's explanation 😭

The man bought you your own bike helmet GIVE HIM A CHANCE, YOU GAVE JAKOB A MILLION OF THEM FOR LESS

At the start of 2024, still no updates... rip Four Way Junction. I will miss you Sidney ;(

Page 3 and 4 are gotten through the bad end of Tate's route because it's the sex scenes with Merina. You have to basically do the opposite of whatever Tate wants you to do and then you'll unlock the Merina/Ollie route. The guide explains exactly how to get it. https://twitter.com/MindOfFur/status/1692490559875608920

It's been a while since I played through this. Tried it out back when Aiden was the only route available, loved him, but I always wanted to see what Tate's route would be like. After binging all 3 routes staying up till 4am for 3 nights in a row, I can say, WOW, still a fantastically enjoyable VN. I mean Tate himself, master of seduction and teasing he is, has a fantastic route, but then there's Ollie, that cute shy irresistibly adorable mouse. My heart skipped beats during those lab scenes. Being in the Sorcery Shard also means you get to be friends and flirt with Coal in the future too. Not to mention those other characters you get to meet with Tate in the forest. Dallan's route was amazing in his own way too. He has this level of psychological comfort the other 2 don't give as much, maybe because of how gentle and knowledgeable he comes across as. But it feels like with him, he's this big soft fluffy pillow and with him around you'll never have to worry about anything going too wrong. Aiden is still really hot with his clingy ways though <3

Can't wait for Chapter 2 of any of these boys! This VN is honestly like crack for me lmao

Can't wait to read all the slurs Vayu calls me and fall in love with him anyway <3

God this is such a good game I love it, it's a great follow up to the original! I wish there was a blushing Jacob sprite but maybe that's too out of character for him just yet while he gets used to Joss' company ahaha. James is a lil' shit though, hands off my hot sheep Daddy! We're band geeks, you don't understand our bond! Go back to streaming to your 5 viewers.

Firstly, while I always thought Chris was cute and dorky, I also like Kane a lot because he has that shy hesitant side to him I find adorable, practically everyone else in the game besides Zach is pretty outspoken, even Carlos who doesn't say much has his feelings come across clearly. I will say I would take Kane over Chris but a Chris route would be pretty feasible early on I think if the Journalism class had a more online angle to it. Maybe Professor Dubois has a challenging online assignment, and Ben needs Chris' geeky computer nerd help to navigate the school's online site and get accustomed to turning in homework, so he meets him at the café to ask for help, and then Chris invites him over to his dorm after his shift? Then they start meeting up regularly and such until maybe one day Chris leaves his porn tabs open while he's in the shower as Ben waits for him on the couch, haha. "Hot cat sex" or something. I admit I got into this game thinking Bryan would be my main love interest but I ended up having Nate as my favorite even though at first he was a bit much, I don't think the main 3 are bad, but people probably only see the surface level of their personality and assume they will only just act like that the entire game.

As for discussion on the game itself, I think the fact that the majority of the overarching plot still being left up to speculation (who's the killer, Weishaupt Hall's significance in the story, etc.) it seems a bit too early to make non-crackpot sounding theories. I mean some people don't even know the killer's gender, they think it could be Karina for all they know. I personally don't mind the story pacing or depth, although I'm sure the people that do usually play VNs for lighthearted enjoyment of fantasies and don't want darker worldbuilding offered by VNs like this one or Echo. Anyway, thanks for your hard work on this VN and being one of the most consistent updaters! Really nice to read these updates every month. :) 

Woof. Artemis is one heck of a character. That hospital scene made me feel quite a variety of emotions (even arousal somehow??) Interesting to see how things play out from now. Great update! :)

But I still don't understand the changes at all. Everyone is college age, the old sprites LOOKED like young adults with baby faces. Isn't that the whole point, to show they're young and dumb trying to find their own way in life? These new sprites make everyone look like they're in their mid-30s now, like they're a bunch of adults who dropped out of school and now came back. Jinny looks less of a frail girl struck by an illness and more of a beefcake trans man. Sissel still doesn't make any sense at all seeing as how he was supposed to be this scrawny homeless kid who never has any money because he doesn't accept help from anyone else, where does he get the Hercules body from? Writing-wise it is a glaring flaw. But whatever, I won't play this VN anymore. 

I screamed internally when Benjie took Adrian to his room. Why is Benjie so hot man?

"Sweet" Aaron? Lol he literally killed the Resoom truck driver Clement he committed murder, Aaron is no better than Cooper, they both have the same profession remember?

But sure, go ahead and think Aaron is "sweet". You can see a mile away Aaron isn't as innocent as you think he is and he'll have a heel turn just like Cooper. Aaron stans ignoring all the red flags, nothing new there.

If anyone else is wondering the removed scene was the one where Ben masturbates lol

Man, this ain't right.... Sissel was WAY cuter before than these new sprites. How the heck did he go from "homeless, barely affords food (his wallet is literally empty) Sissel" to "more buff than Owen who works out at the gym frequently"? Someone who hardly eats doesn't have a muscular body like that. Shirokoi better rewrite his route if he plans to make this sprite change. I hardly believe that musclehead Sissel can delicately work on his white chocolate sculpture for the culinary contest with those bulging pecs not breaking the chocolate between his fingers.

If only you put this much effort into writing the story for your game as you did for this stupid social crusade post you'd be a top 10 visual novel. Instead you're irrelevant and constantly rewriting scenes for your game to the point no one knows a cohesive explanation of what is going on in your game or whether the character they want to date will just have their entire date content trashed. It was already shakey for me when Garreth's sex scene was redrawn, but this was the nail in the coffin for me. Unfollowed.

Violet Memoir? More like GOLDEN MEMOIR HOLY COW. Seriously have never played a visual novel build for the first time and have been as excited for the next update, ever. I mean, an enticing story revolving around a serial killer and trying to dissect how she lost her marbles, well-written characters that aren't just one dimensional for love interests, a JAW-DROPPING nightmare sequence coupled with a skin-crawling score for maximum tension and dread? I mean geez the only thing that could have been the proverbial cherry on top for that part is if there was a CG of the boy of interest you chose just to help showcase the disfiguration Wallace described. I've already played all 3 routes twice because it's just that good. (Ashleigh is my favorite for his mother hen personality but Oscar is a loveable flirty goof and Lucas is the spicy fox that's never afraid to tell it like it is. Even having a favorite though I would be happy ending up with any of them <3)

If you can stomach the horror I would definitely recommend trying this to anyone. I AM HOOKED. 

This is a pretty great game! I know a lot of people compare it to FBTW but I love the writing of this one way more, it feels like a much more natural progression between a captain wolf and a human. Ranok constantly nannying you and worrying about you even though he barely knows you while Lyall lets you be your own person and he grows to like your company and be more comfortable around you. 

Looking forward to reading future updates :)

People were really calling you a "rape apologist"? Disgusting. Those people are mentally ill and need psychological help.

Benjie best character

I would honestly pay for a sequel of this I NEED MORE JACOB IN MY LIFE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HE'S SO CUTE

Delete the old version and download and install the newest one. It happens for a lot of other VNs but FBtW has a neat quickjump to the new content anyway.

Am I the only one who likes Tano? I dunno, from what we've seen of him he doesn't feel like he'd get jealous over attention or try and pretend everything would be okay when things aren't. Sure he gets into petty arguments with Ranok but I mean personalities clash all the time in real life too. And yeah, Ranok is the "nice choice" because he's overtly friendly and outgoing, but I don't like how the MC clashes with him so often. Really feels like Caelan is taking advantage of Ranok's kindness and getting upset when Ranok is doing his best to make Caelan comfortable.

I just think Tano would be better at giving Caelan the rough 'n tough treatment he would need to better be accustomed to his role in the village, and he wouldn't lie to him about anything. Vul can do that too sure, but I don't think Tano would threaten physical violence against Caelan. Even then, despite questioning his status as a ward, Tano was still polite enough to feed MC during the feast and not do anything malicious like step on Caelan's toes while they were dancing or accidentally drop him in the dirt. And the most important detail I took away from the story so far is that Tano knows Caelan isn't dumb as rocks, but yet he never made a big scene questioning how Caelan knew to withdraw his hands away from the cup when the chief encouraged the mead.

Anyway TL;DR Tano doesn't seem as bad as everyone makes him out to be, MC is too whiney despite Ranok's generosity and care. Tano x MC for the "crackship"

Jørgen is so sassy and cute, wow. Not sure what kind of personality he was going to have since there wasn't much of him to go off of at first but he really turned out to be even better than I hoped :> 

If he's going to continue to be updated alongside Lake I'm going to seriously have a hard time deciding which one I want to play through first ahahaha

I don't know how the hell you did it but all I ever think about now is how I will never have Elliot in my life and we haven't even had the Day 4 date yet.

Not even as a little kid have I wanted to be friends with a 2D character this badly. Damn you Rook, with one panther you've said checkmate to my entire pantheon of furry crushes. It's a panthereon now, if you will.

Great writing though, looking forward to future updates and seeing where it goes! :)

I worship Patches ever since I played through the first game and this one was (unsurprisingly) my favorite because you can choose to be a butthole or turn Patches into a good guy (and form a cute bond with Olive too) 

PATCHES IS A GOOD CRAZY KNIFE-LOVING BOI

Ahhh, Chris is so cute, he's so tempting to make a $60 pledge on Patreon to unlock a route for him, but that's a heck of a lot of money 

Regardless his writing is super good and although I know he's not the star of the show the side character stole it for me 

Looking forward to future updates! :)

Honestly? Best VN I've ever played, hands-down. All the jokes hit, all the visuals are amazing, the writing makes the characters feel genuine like you could meet someone exactly like them in real life, the soundtrack and SFX are masterfully inserted to set the mood of tension, lightheartedness, fear. You could not ask for a more perfect job from a creator. 

Can't wait for future updates, I'm glad that I was alive to experience this game, and I hope I can be alive to see the end of this masterpiece. Thanks for making my quarantine that much brighter :)

Disappointing

I need Kiga as the secret DLC unlockable character to date, my goodness he is one sassy cat

A relationship with him would be really fun, especially with his drama talents and how much of a performance he can make out of the smallest things, a sass battle between Yuuichi and Kiga would probably destroy the universe

But he is wholesome and silly and well-written, shame Haruki is probably already hitting that
