When we're with Rune and we listen to the song by Boards of Canada, is that a real song? And if it is, where can I find it and listen to it? What's its name?
Holy hell. I went to adult itch games just to get off, and what I came across was infinitely more. So I recently turned 18 🥳, waiting to be shipped off to college at the start of the next school year, and ffffuck this visual novel hit too damn close to home. In a good way. The writing was impeccable, the music complemented it so well. This was the first visual novel I've read but goddamn it was well done.
As a certified "adult", I've felt aimless. I'm all grown up, why don't I have answers? Why am I so endlessly confused in every situation? What happened? Am I just immature? I feel like a 12 year-old in an 18 year-old body, thrown head first into a life I'm not ready to live. Why don't I know what's right?
"We're ships at sea, drifting in all directions"
Damn. I'm a naive bitch, but I feel like this visual novel finally hammered it into my thick skull that everyone of every age is just pretending to know how to live. I don't know, that's my takeaway. That's definitely quite scary, but at least it means we're all in the same boat.
I've gone down three of the pathways as of writing this: Lake, Torulf, and Rune.
I started down the route of Lake. It was probably a nice introduction to the game. Cozy, intimate, wholesome. Most of the paths you can go down are, but Lakes I feel was relatively light on the whole putting your heart through a paper shredder ordeal. I guess I can kind of relate to their struggle, being a "hopeless romantic". I've never had a "real relationship"; time and time again the other guy loses interest in me and I'm just left to stuff my feelings in a box and move on. There was a lot of truth to the comparison between the fantastical models we make of others and reality of who people are, but it didn't have me in tears. Lake was my fav though, cute af.
Next I went with Torulf. I didn't really like him in Lakes path, but he grew on me for a while. "Waiter, waiter more intimacy please!" Things definitely moved fast, but uh, being the horny bastard I am I never chose to slow down or call it quits. Then that traumatic fucking sequence hit. That shit had my heart racing, breath quickening. I was actually panicked. Of course, I the reader was never in danger; I was actively choosing to put my walls down and feel what this novel put in front of me. I'm glad I did, it made the story so much more impactful, but DAYUM. I've never had a boner disappear so fast. I actually felt guilty for enjoying the previous "events" with Torulf. I think this experience single-handedly convinced me not to ever sleep around, that's just not the life I want for myself. So uh, fuck you Torulf, and fuck you Dawn Chorus for making me feel all these things.
I guess its nice to feel bad things in moderation every once in a while, I kind of enjoyed it in a weird way.
Rune, Rune, Rune. By far I related to him the most. Back in middle school, even in the beginning of high school I prided myself on my accomplishments. I felt like they defined me. My talents defined me. It felt like all I had. After all, who am I but a coagulation of my achievements? Then, I lost all of it. My life fell apart. I fell into a depression that lasted years. I chose a very, very rigorous high school and I was not cut out for it. I could've transferred, but also, I couldn't. My pride was wounded enough. Funny, I guess I saw myself in Rune. The mushroom trip sequence had me crying. The last time I cried was when my grandpa passed away. I shed two tears then, no more. I'm typically very reserved with my emotions, part of my "coping strategy" with depression was to just be happy or indifferent as my two expressed emotions, but that just lead to me being miserably empty most of the time. I'm sharing that cause I think it speaks to both how much I immersed myself in the game and how immersive the game was itself. Back to the mushroom trip, every question it asked I had asked myself at some point. It was surreal.
"I though I had to justify my own existence"
That's me. I've been trying to justify my own existence. I don't have to either. That was profound. It was like looking in a mirror and seeing the inner workings of my brain. This is why I wrote this whole damn thing. I needed to hear that. I actually think this visual novel has changed how I perceive life. I can't even fathom how someone wrote this. Its incredible.
"But I don't need a meaning. The existence is bliss."
Yesterday I finished Rune's path as it is now (I don't think its finished?). I took a cold shower for the first time. It was hard. It was nice though. I went for a run. I booked it as fast and as hard as I could, till my body gave out and I had to lay down. It was hard, and body hurt like hell, but it was nice. I got up and slowly, dragged my aching body back to my house. I was barely through the door when I collapsed right there in my dining room, the dizziness and pain overwhelming me. I may have passed out. I forgot where I was, what time it was. I was in so much pain. But I was comfortable lying there on the hardwood floor, outside of space and time, just momentarily.
I can't really put into words what I've gained from this game. I really just started writing and now I'm here. I had to write something. Now I look back on what I have written and its soooo long, oops. I probably could have just written about Rune, cause that's the character I connected with most, but oh well. I realize this puts a looot more emphasis on myself rather than the game than I initially planned. I guess I'll just end this here, although I most definitely could write more.
I'd like to thank the creators of Dawn Chorus. I hope what I've gained is somewhat decipherable from my ramblings, but if not, I guess I mostly wrote this for myself anyways. This is an incredibly talented project, unlike anything I've ever experienced. Its been an absolute rollercoaster of emotions, a homage to the human experience, told through furry animal creatures.
I love this vn so much it amazes me over and over I did wanna just say that for rune his shirtless sprite has his left nipple (his left not ours) is like jagged I just wanted to make sure you guys knew! Keep up the beautiful work!!!!
I absolutely adore and love Jørgen, i love how dominant but shy he is, id do anything for this boy i wish I could help him ima cry dude yall did amazing
Unfortunately the songs are not available on Spotify. One thing you can do is buy the songs on Bandcamp, download them to your device and play them locally on your Spotify
Well well well, 4th day for Lake, Mikko and Devon, characters i actually care, much. I guess debts have started to fix themselves or idk how we students say it. Now i can take my words back about Klaus and maybe some else bad stuff i said month ago.
I can even close my eyes on the fact that you needed 5 years to make this. We are so close to the end i can almost feel it, a year or two and this game finally done.
Well, the developers are mean, but more on that later, now I would like to express my opinion about the game. It is pretty good, especially considering my criteria for novels, the stories are told pretty well and they also play on feelings well, among all the visual novels with furries this is the best and I am looking forward to the continuation, and now about the so-called "meanness", WHY DO THIS, I was so worried when I was following Lake's path, especially waiting for the scene where we are alone so to speak and what did I get? A BLACK SCREEN WITH TEXT?? FOR WHAT??? I wanted to see a pretty scene with him, and here this is, I hope in the future you will add at least 1 picture instead of a dark screen, and so I wish you all the best and prosperity! (I apologize in advance for the crooked text, I just don't write very well in English)
Oh thank you very much for such news, I will wait. Thank you for such a quick response, I did not expect such responsiveness, once again good luck to you, health and all the best!
I check above more and less about route characters who I love so much: 'Mikko, Rune and Lake'. I love big or mature characters but I recognize Lake is so special and adorable, so nice and sweet outside and inside him. I was worried for the same issue about black scene, and so few illustrations about him like Mikko and Rune have, but I supposse Lake is one of route less developed and it has to show a lot of art and special moments in pics, I hope so, cause I love the love that lovely lion has inside him and I wish the developer squeeze so much that character's potential because he is so special. If he were real I could feel in love with him although asexual relationship, but enjoy give him all love , affection and care I could give him. He doesnt deserve less.
Please, I beg of you tell me what program you used to make this wonderful chart. 😊 This would help tremendously with projects I am working on. Thanks ❤❤
Plus about the werewolf thing, it was in the Halloween special update so it isn't really relevant to the story or anything so its not spoilers, but I do remember a comment from the dev saying it was canon outside of the Halloween update I think
I feel silly asking, but is there an accent guide for this game, or at least a resource to refer to? I'm not at all familiar with European culture and the only accents from there I know are "british" and "wildly outdated stereotype"
Yeah, it's pretty easy to go find accent videos for all of their birth countries. The simplest option would be going to YouTube to listen to videos from Finnish people(Mikko, Lake, and Arvo), Norwegian people(Rune, Bjørn, Klaus, Torulf, and Jørgen), and the Americans(Devon and Travis)
You can also go, if you so desire, to IDEA (International Dialects of English Archive) and use their data base to find accents for specific states, countries, and areas in an academic setting meant to capture specific sounds and create references for people like actors and linguists.
haha, I didn't knew people could hear accents in their minds, I might have a silent narrator, well not quite, I read them all with the "samey" voices, like variants of own voice haha
Oh. Ending of this route just don't have word from the developers, which usually appear after other routes, and it felt like mystery. I thought that i must restart and somehow get in that room he wrote about. Taking into account his route already complicated to get, and it's most mysteryous one, it felt right to me. But thanks for clearing this one out!
Well i never read it,but My boys told a little about it,dont really remember who but it said is depression mood to him?,i gott a check this out when i got the money
That's not the final aim of the VN, definitely, but it's still a bit until the end and there are some heavier moments along the way on some of the routes. There's a lot of cosy and wholesome vibes too! Especially if you stick with Lake, Jørgen or Rune.
I'm very grateful for making Lake a non-binary character, I identified with they from the beginning, in fact, every stressful and happy situation in this game is written with so much love, Lake's phrases about how to dress, and what it's like to go out with guys, simply made me think a lot about a stage in my life that I'm going through now, it made me feel more valid. I very recently discovered myself as a non-binary person (less then 1 year), so everything is still very new, and in a way, scary. I wish I had a safer space to talk about this, because I don't know any people who are also non-binary, this game gave me the comfort I needed. Anyway, I'm still very scared, but thank you for this representation, know that you helped me a lot.
I'm bi, and maybe this is stupid but this game made me come out to my friends. My friend group is just boys and I haven't had any feelings for them, but it still felt like I betrayed them or something? Like I put forth a version of myself that wasn't actually true. I relate with Devon a lot, and his route made me realise that staying closeted forever will only bring more pain. So yeah this game definitely did a lot for me aswell.
I recognise the fear that you feel, it used to be paralising. But know that it's gonna be alright. If not in your current situation, maybe somewhere in the future.
I just finished all the routes in the game so far, and they are all incredible, this game is magnificent. I really value this journey of your life, and nothing you've been through is invalid. If you feel like you have no one to talk to, send me a DM on Twitter! @ElPotatoh
Damn its almost been five years and you still aint done this vn, i know that its creative process and everything, but since 2022 when i found this game i nearly forgot about it. And oh man, no way im gonna call Lake “them”, im straight gay i see only “him”, but thats not the point. I hope you guys know what you’re doing, cause not just me but everyone here wants to see the end of this vn someday.
Oh yeah and another thing, i think you forgot someone, like Claus and Travis, i can understand Travis but Claus was on this game page since 2022 as i remember along with everyone, but still has a few dialoges in the game (again as i can remember) and still no route at all.
Iam just a stupid fan, but even i managed to make my fully own vn (dont check it, its trash) and you still aint got day 5 for… anyone… back on the track, im not knowing everything that you’ve been through, but even i see thats something just not right with this.
Maybe that passive piece of tigah bottom named Arvo has skill issue and cant say just 4 words “I loved you too” or whatever.
Im not hater or anything, im a big fan of this game and i want it to be good too, but im not blind, not lying in Lake’s mane too much, and not accepting Mikko’s invitation means die is hilarious
You saying that you're not a hater at the end is just hypocritical...
There's a clear line between constructive feedback and just plain hating, and I think you realise very well that you've crossed it.
You're criticizing an amazing piece of art (I think everyone agrees DawnChorus is fantastic <3) so you better give some valid points, Which you failed abismally.
This VN is not just another regular smut story, so there will be actual character development and some characters might not even be gay at all (Travis?? idk though). And if you can't handle that Arvo and Mikko have a heartbreaking history, met eachother after YEARS and Arvo can't say "I still love you" after 3 days..? Then just get out.
Also don't go at Lake like that. If you can't accept that someone in your life identifies as non-binary, then you definitely do not deserve them.
To summarize;
If you have actual feedback, tell the DawnChorus team!
If you only came here to be a total dick, then just shut it.
Call me a hater if you want im just saying thing no one else can say. Of course i crossed the line because i wasnt writing feedback.
I aint said good things about this vn because there’s already 1300 comments saying that, so i thought there’s no point for saying good thing and then saying bad (because everybody knows good things about this game).
Yeah, Travis may not be gay (Cause no one cares about him), but everyone else is gay, so yeah, this is GAY novel.
About Mikko and Arvo, if i remember correctly Arvo said that this these 5 days in science camp maybe his only chance to open up truth to Mikko… so yeah, im waiting for Arvo to say “I loved you too” (or “I still love you” (doenst mind for now cause he aint said that anyway :P),BECAUSE, if Arvo aint gonna say that to Mikko… then we all be waiting Dawn Chorus 2? (Another five years)
Now i must tell you why im so bad to Lake, its my personal actually… just, well, i’ve been playing this game from 2022 to 2024 and i really waited for any Lake updates because i loved this guy. I was glad when i saw new sprites… but then, well
Lake that i’ve been knowing for two years as him, my beloved fella who cant cook became “them”, its was like Lake that i know gone, there no more my boy, maybe not like alien, but they just stole him from me. For your understanding i wasnt grow in lgbtq culture, so i just cant understand non-binary people, i can with mind, but cant with my soul.
So if my word about Lake make you feel bad im sorry, i really am. But again, it was my opinion, it was what i felt.
And one more thing, DutchFurryteen, you said that i should get out because i cant handle that Arvo cant say 4 words, but he really must say them, or there will be no Mikko and Arvo together.
You said that i dont deserve Lake and you really right.
You call me a dick and said me to shut up.
But im not gonna say anything bad to you, im here not to do that.
Have you actually inspired Torulf's character in the VN? I'm genuinly curious. Because you're arrogant, bigoted and ignorant just the same. And your tone sounds exactly like I imagine sitä paskaa would sound in my head.
And, as a fellow non-binary person, in defense of Lake, I only have one last thing to say to you. Mene vittuun itseäsi, kusipää!
I'm not sure why, but I randomly get inspiration to write things. And that happened after reading an hour of the new update. I don't know if it's any good but it's specifically talking about a very short frame that really spoke to me
Completely thrown into a new realty You are getting somewhere after leaving some place, but that journey never truly starts. The part of you day you seem to forget, almost as if it didn't happen.
But how else would you have gotten there and back?
It did happen, more so then the place you started and left.
Why do we seem to forget the things we do the most?
Life seems short when you only think of the highlights, whether those are good or bad ones. But this has no feeling, it just happens. Those I feel are the most important parts of life.
lmk what u think! (I love this VN so much I can't even express it)

When we're with Rune and we listen to the song by Boards of Canada, is that a real song? And if it is, where can I find it and listen to it? What's its name?
just search in youtube: Patricia Taxxon Magic number
Btw it's based on a few songs by Boars of Canada I think? it sounds familiar to Olson and Wildlife Analysis imo
I see, thanks!
//SPOILERS PROBABLY//
I might be writing an essay (Yeah I was)

It means the story is too fkn good!!! 😭😭🙏
I love to torture my heart with their stories 😭❤️
I love this so much! This was fun to read, can't wait for Lake's update! (Whenever that shall be, I don't mind waiting.) They are amazing!
I only read this vn because of lake, he so cute
I love Jørgen, I wish there was more to the end (I just didn't like seeing it end) (more probably will be added seeing that it made an auto save)
Jørgen's update will be the next one I'll be working on after Torulf!
Im happy to hear that
heyheyhey, can someone pls post the link to the soundtrack on here? Ive tried to click it in the acc game but it doesnt work TmT
here: https://buildingslikeradiators.bandcamp.com
is there a link for it on Spotify?
Unfortunately the songs are not available on Spotify. One thing you can do is buy the songs on Bandcamp, download them to your device and play them locally on your Spotify
The devon route is so heavy GOD DAMN
My tears ricochet😭
can't wait for Jørgen's route to be updated :3
So real he's so adorable
Very well said
i agree with this statement
Well well well, 4th day for Lake, Mikko and Devon, characters i actually care, much. I guess debts have started to fix themselves or idk how we students say it. Now i can take my words back about Klaus and maybe some else bad stuff i said month ago.
I can even close my eyes on the fact that you needed 5 years to make this. We are so close to the end i can almost feel it, a year or two and this game finally done.
Better than Concord, 10/10

(I apologize in advance for the crooked text, I just don't write very well in English)
We've commissioned an illustration for that scene, we're waiting for it to be done! Don't worry, it's coming sometime soon 😁
Oh thank you very much for such news, I will wait. Thank you for such a quick response, I did not expect such responsiveness, once again good luck to you, health and all the best!
I check above more and less about route characters who I love so much: 'Mikko, Rune and Lake'. I love big or mature characters but I recognize Lake is so special and adorable, so nice and sweet outside and inside him.

Im exited for the next Jørgen update! Im probably gonna join the patreon to get early access.
Can someone please tell me how to get Klaus route?
Thanks you :D
Please, I beg of you tell me what program you used to make this wonderful chart. 😊 This would help tremendously with projects I am working on. Thanks ❤❤
Tysm ❤️
It's from the newest Patreon update for Torulf! Not available yet in the public build u.u
I don't see anything new on the REDACTED update, it ends on the closet?
That's not where it ended before the update, unless you played a Patreon update before. There were two new scenes in the update.
I cried
Loved Devon's thoughts, the talks...
I'm not recovering from this anytime soon hehe
Thank you for you all's work <3
Fr 😭
Was the seventh photo added with this update or did I miss it somewhere before? If it's this update where is it?
It's from Patreon update, must've stayed in the code.
Another question: do you plan to update the ??? Route more often since it's kinda lagging behind the others?
Yes. The current plan is two scenes with every new update. v0.46 - Torulf got released with these already!
DEVON UPDAAAAAAAATEEEEEEEEE LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :33333
KLAUS TOMORROW
DEVON UPDATE IN TWO DAYYYYYS CAN'T WAIT AHHHHHHHHH :33333
Mikko is a werewolf and you fucking die on one of his routes. Not criticizing or anything just wanted to say that out loud wow
Plus about the werewolf thing, it was in the Halloween special update so it isn't really relevant to the story or anything so its not spoilers, but I do remember a comment from the dev saying it was canon outside of the Halloween update I think
I feel silly asking, but is there an accent guide for this game, or at least a resource to refer to? I'm not at all familiar with European culture and the only accents from there I know are "british" and "wildly outdated stereotype"
Yeah, it's pretty easy to go find accent videos for all of their birth countries. The simplest option would be going to YouTube to listen to videos from Finnish people(Mikko, Lake, and Arvo), Norwegian people(Rune, Bjørn, Klaus, Torulf, and Jørgen), and the Americans(Devon and Travis)
You can also go, if you so desire, to IDEA (International Dialects of English Archive) and use their data base to find accents for specific states, countries, and areas in an academic setting meant to capture specific sounds and create references for people like actors and linguists.
haha, I didn't knew people could hear accents in their minds, I might have a silent narrator, well not quite, I read them all with the "samey" voices, like variants of own voice haha
Is there a continuation on Klaus route after he leaves a letter? It feels meta, and i dont know how to proceed if possible.
The route wasn't worked on for some time. There might be a continuation for it in the upcoming update (already out on Patreon) though 😶🌫️
Oh. Ending of this route just don't have word from the developers, which usually appear after other routes, and it felt like mystery. I thought that i must restart and somehow get in that room he wrote about. Taking into account his route already complicated to get, and it's most mysteryous one, it felt right to me. But thanks for clearing this one out!
are there any other routes on torulf aside of snouts and saliva? i have played those and found something that may not be complete yet
There are three! You haven't found Dogtooth.
okay! thank you
Well i never read it,but My boys told a little about it,dont really remember who but it said is depression mood to him?,i gott a check this out when i got the money
this visual novel is free :p
That's not the final aim of the VN, definitely, but it's still a bit until the end and there are some heavier moments along the way on some of the routes. There's a lot of cosy and wholesome vibes too! Especially if you stick with Lake, Jørgen or Rune.
Just finished mikko’s route and my heart is now broken 😭😭😭
There are two different paths available at the moment, so you might've seen one of two only!
I'm very grateful for making Lake a non-binary character, I identified with they from the beginning, in fact, every stressful and happy situation in this game is written with so much love, Lake's phrases about how to dress, and what it's like to go out with guys, simply made me think a lot about a stage in my life that I'm going through now, it made me feel more valid. I very recently discovered myself as a non-binary person (less then 1 year), so everything is still very new, and in a way, scary. I wish I had a safer space to talk about this, because I don't know any people who are also non-binary, this game gave me the comfort I needed. Anyway, I'm still very scared, but thank you for this representation, know that you helped me a lot.
I'm bi, and maybe this is stupid but this game made me come out to my friends. My friend group is just boys and I haven't had any feelings for them, but it still felt like I betrayed them or something? Like I put forth a version of myself that wasn't actually true. I relate with Devon a lot, and his route made me realise that staying closeted forever will only bring more pain. So yeah this game definitely did a lot for me aswell.
I recognise the fear that you feel, it used to be paralising. But know that it's gonna be alright. If not in your current situation, maybe somewhere in the future.
I just finished all the routes in the game so far, and they are all incredible, this game is magnificent. I really value this journey of your life, and nothing you've been through is invalid. If you feel like you have no one to talk to, send me a DM on Twitter! @ElPotatoh
sure, will do!
Damn its almost been five years and you still aint done this vn, i know that its creative process and everything, but since 2022 when i found this game i nearly forgot about it. And oh man, no way im gonna call Lake “them”, im straight gay i see only “him”, but thats not the point. I hope you guys know what you’re doing, cause not just me but everyone here wants to see the end of this vn someday.
Oh yeah and another thing, i think you forgot someone, like Claus and Travis, i can understand Travis but Claus was on this game page since 2022 as i remember along with everyone, but still has a few dialoges in the game (again as i can remember) and still no route at all.
Iam just a stupid fan, but even i managed to make my fully own vn (dont check it, its trash) and you still aint got day 5 for… anyone… back on the track, im not knowing everything that you’ve been through, but even i see thats something just not right with this. Maybe that passive piece of tigah bottom named Arvo has skill issue and cant say just 4 words “I loved you too” or whatever.
Im not hater or anything, im a big fan of this game and i want it to be good too, but im not blind, not lying in Lake’s mane too much, and not accepting Mikko’s invitation means die is hilarious
You saying that you're not a hater at the end is just hypocritical...
There's a clear line between constructive feedback and just plain hating, and I think you realise very well that you've crossed it.
You're criticizing an amazing piece of art (I think everyone agrees DawnChorus is fantastic <3) so you better give some valid points, Which you failed abismally.
This VN is not just another regular smut story, so there will be actual character development and some characters might not even be gay at all (Travis?? idk though). And if you can't handle that Arvo and Mikko have a heartbreaking history, met eachother after YEARS and Arvo can't say "I still love you" after 3 days..? Then just get out.
Also don't go at Lake like that. If you can't accept that someone in your life identifies as non-binary, then you definitely do not deserve them.
To summarize;
If you have actual feedback, tell the DawnChorus team!
If you only came here to be a total dick, then just shut it.
Thank you for saying everything I didn't have the courage to say <3
Call me a hater if you want im just saying thing no one else can say. Of course i crossed the line because i wasnt writing feedback. I aint said good things about this vn because there’s already 1300 comments saying that, so i thought there’s no point for saying good thing and then saying bad (because everybody knows good things about this game).
Yeah, Travis may not be gay (Cause no one cares about him), but everyone else is gay, so yeah, this is GAY novel. About Mikko and Arvo, if i remember correctly Arvo said that this these 5 days in science camp maybe his only chance to open up truth to Mikko… so yeah, im waiting for Arvo to say “I loved you too” (or “I still love you” (doenst mind for now cause he aint said that anyway :P),BECAUSE, if Arvo aint gonna say that to Mikko… then we all be waiting Dawn Chorus 2? (Another five years)
Now i must tell you why im so bad to Lake, its my personal actually… just, well, i’ve been playing this game from 2022 to 2024 and i really waited for any Lake updates because i loved this guy. I was glad when i saw new sprites… but then, well Lake that i’ve been knowing for two years as him, my beloved fella who cant cook became “them”, its was like Lake that i know gone, there no more my boy, maybe not like alien, but they just stole him from me. For your understanding i wasnt grow in lgbtq culture, so i just cant understand non-binary people, i can with mind, but cant with my soul. So if my word about Lake make you feel bad im sorry, i really am. But again, it was my opinion, it was what i felt.
And one more thing, DutchFurryteen, you said that i should get out because i cant handle that Arvo cant say 4 words, but he really must say them, or there will be no Mikko and Arvo together. You said that i dont deserve Lake and you really right. You call me a dick and said me to shut up. But im not gonna say anything bad to you, im here not to do that.
Honestly thanks for this reply, shines light on the situation.
I think we all get emotionally invested in this game, and of course I also hope that Arvo can just say "I love you too".
I'm not gonna tell you what your opinions should be, but just remember that when you share them, you should not do it like you did 3 days ago...
Sorry if I got a bit mad, I should have read it again before posting the reply.
Damn... hating on Travis :(
The hate you show is disgusting. Get some therapy, you sad sack.
The hate you show to me is disgusting. Get some therapy, you sad sack)
Have you actually inspired Torulf's character in the VN? I'm genuinly curious. Because you're arrogant, bigoted and ignorant just the same. And your tone sounds exactly like I imagine sitä paskaa would sound in my head.
And, as a fellow non-binary person, in defense of Lake, I only have one last thing to say to you. Mene vittuun itseäsi, kusipää!
Toru who?)
Lake is the type of guy i am currently looking for :3 he's so cute
Hey does somebody know how to move my saves from pc to mobile and if it's even possible?
My heart hurts but i can't stopppppp, I just wish we get T in the end
I. LOVE. Jørgen.
he's like the ultimate cute trans bat boi :3
Samee
Same
Why do you keep making me cry qwq (I love it make more please)
I'm not sure why, but I randomly get inspiration to write things. And that happened after reading an hour of the new update. I don't know if it's any good but it's specifically talking about a very short frame that really spoke to me
Completely thrown into a new realty You are getting somewhere after leaving some place, but that journey never truly starts. The part of you day you seem to forget, almost as if it didn't happen.
But how else would you have gotten there and back?
It did happen, more so then the place you started and left.
Why do we seem to forget the things we do the most?
Life seems short when you only think of the highlights, whether those are good or bad ones. But this has no feeling, it just happens. Those I feel are the most important parts of life.
lmk what u think! (I love this VN so much I can't even express it)
