It's admittedly been a while since I last played! I also got a new laptop since I last played and though the experience would be better than on my phone (it is, btw).
Because it's been a while, I wanted to play through routes I attempted when I began and I was just so delighted with Jørgen! I understand that some of the other characters might be more popular with fans, like Rune and Bjørn. But I do hope more happens with Jørgen.
I'm also excited to try different routes that I didn't before, especially since so much has been updated. ^_^ I hope that the progress of this novel is going smoothly for everyone involved. I'm really enjoying this story!
During Rune's route, Arvo, Rune, Mikko, Travis, Lake, and Torulf will play the game Never Have I Ever to pass the time. When it's your turn and you choose the 'Never have I ever stolen anything' option, Travis will be the only one to admit that he has stolen something before. He did it because, and I quote: "I had a friend who wanted to get back with their old friend, and I felt they needed a small nudge. So to help him I took something from that person for a while... but as soon as I noticed it wasn't working I returned it."
Obviously, the 'friend' Travis is referring to is Mikko, and who else is Mikko's old friend but Arvo? And the item Travis stole is without a doubt Arvo's room key. I never expected it lol
Oh dang, played that specific scene multiple times and never really connected those two events lmao.
Although I have a bit of a problem with this theory. I don't think there has been any time where Travis was alone with us in order for him to steal or return the key into our bag?
(I'm gonna be using Rune's route for easier explanation) Arvo finds the key while still being inside of Rune's room so if Travis were to return the key, it has to have happened the day prior. And if I recall correctly, every decision for "hang outs" has a decision where Travis isn't involved so that makes it hard for him to slip it back in the bag. There's also the matter of stealing the key in the first place which has the same issue and also, if I recall correctly, Arvo always has his bag on him so it's practically impossible for Travis to get it unnoticed. Also, there's the fact that Travis only just met Mikko so it would be very weird for Travis to risk his reputation by stealing Arvo's key. These are just my thoughts lmao
But then again, Travis' story matches up real well with Mikko and Arvo so that theory still has alot of credit.
(I didn't realize how big of a wall of text this is until I finished it lmao so sorry about that.)
Nah, no problem. Any kind of speculation is welcome. You actually made a very good point, even. I've also considered the idea that maybe Travis isn't vaguely referring to Mikko and Arvo and that it may have been something he did in past way before the events of Dawn Chorus; could have just been a coincidence the events sounded very similar to what happened to Arvo. It just adds more questions as to who would have taken Arvo's room key.
Update day, woooo ! I'm new here, so does anyone know what time updates are supposed to drop ? Thanks a lot in advance, I can't wait to see more of best bear boy Bjørn.
Edit: welp, nevermind then! So around 18 here in France, I'll keep that in mind.
I wanted to say that this is seriously one of THE best visual novels I have seen. Only a few others have either tied or been slightly better than this. The art is truly amazing and beautiful. It really takes your breath away when you see each new artwork.
The story is extremely well written and gives great explanations. Though I will say I am a slight bit confused as to what exactly Klaus is trying to do, but I understand it’s going to be explained later on.
The characters are all extremely lovable AND relatable. It’s very nice to have a gradual romance and relatable experiences instead of going right to the love.
The visual novel also is great as it explains other cultures in great detail. I’ve always enjoyed learning new things. I got to learn a lot of things about Finnish culture. The music is beautifully written and the various foods make me want to try them.
The novel also has beautiful artwork of nature. It really makes me smile and feel happy seeing beautiful scenes of nature. I know it sounds weird, but the novel has so much that really makes it amazing.
I can’t wait to see more updates. This really has great potential to become one of the best visual novels that I know. I will say that I really hope to see more Devon content soon. He is extremely sexy and handsome!
I know you will keep doing so well. Thank you for making the visual novel. I really am grateful for it. It’s also helped calm me down during some moments of anxiety. So thank you for making such a lovable visual novel.
As a russian that lives in finland, that also had a childhood friend named Mikko, I had some paranoia when I started this game.
Honestly, this game is amazing, and I love the cutesy artstyle and storytelling. Really no complaints so far, english is also impecable but it just seems that scandinavian people in general have amazing english.
Can i ask what is the name of the piano piece Mikko played at the common area? Is it a piece made for the game or can i find it on youtube?
Edit: So the name is Red Scarf and its specifically made for the game, i want to play the piece on my piano but im new to playing and i cant transcribe yet, although i managed to do the G Clef of the Beginning. (Sorry i dont know how to use musical terms correctly yet)
I wonder , where can I get my hands on the music Torulf plays on the ... vinyl player ? I really really like it and I'd love to listen to it outside of the game
My god, this game is amazing! I'm astonished by how this game actually was going to turn out, and was scared about if anything bad would appear. In the end, it was an amazing story and I cant wait to see if the next update will continue the story. Even my friend is helping me by transcribing Red Scarf (the piano piece Mikko plays) so I can play it. I love the story, the characters, and can't wait for more :)
This game is so amazing I can't put it into words. The story of each route is extremely promising and I love the wholesome interactions every character has with eachother. The art, the music and the story, like Rune said made the entire game soo immerseful and beautiful. I can't thankyou enough, I hope all of you are well and goodluck with everything! And oh! I love the details and the consistency y'all made with the bg art! Like how the commonspace is right under the balcony near Lake's room and such. This just satisfies my heart in so many ways.
For now I find it really good ! The sexual stuff is making me a lil bit uncomfortable but I can turn it off so it's okay ! I can't wait for the final version ! I'll completely follow the updates ! Keep going ! Sending love 💕
I played the 0.13 and I like the history and the characters and Iam so into Devon and Rune dont even know how to explain ❤ . Backgrounds, illustrations and soundtracks are AMAZING!! I love to listen the main menu music, sometimes I just open the game for it . Is there a forecast for full release or will the game be released gradually? Is there any way to get into Klaus/Jorgen routes? I've been trying since I donwloaded the game but no success yet.
(sorry there is something wrong or rude english is not my language)
Hi! I'm glad you're enjoying our visual novel :> The game is getting monthly updates, first available at our Patreon, then here after a month. The final release should happen sometime in 2023/2024.
As for now, Jorgen route is bundled together with Lake route.
RIGHT??? mikko is so wholesome but it's so obvious he's in love with u... And the way he only shares that energy with us??? Like when he gets happy seeing us I can't omg
I know the game isnt complete yet but is it possible to get a walkthrough of each route. When i did some routes i realised i missed some scenarios that i found when doing other routes, im just confused by how i should know whose route im getting? Not sure how to explain but maybe like a stats bar or something. But mainly a walkthrough cuz i got a headache trying to do the routes especially Klaus. <3
The routes aren't really that hard to 100% tbh, except for klaus that is a secret route, there's a score method to track what route you're in, but it's not visible in the game, still the only thing you really need is just pick any choice that is related to the characters you want, please note even if you pick a specific route there still will be situations where you interact with other characters and that's normal
Also about Klaus there are a lot of ways to get to his route, I did it by starting asking Devon about the key at the start of the day (he will then give you his jacket, you need it) then go to the forest after asking to the janitor, then follow Klaus in the forest and play that part, you still need to continue on Devon route afterward but don't wait for him when he put the telescopes back indoor, and then follow Klaus into the forest, and that's all :D
I LOVE YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH IVE BEEN STUCK ON KLAUS' ROUTE CUZ I WAS TOLD I NEED TO GET A JACKET OR BJORNS JACKET IT WAS SO CONFUSING CUZ I GOT TO BJORNS ROUTE BUT IT DIDNT LET ME FOLLOW HIM. AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH CUZ I SAW THIS WHILST PLAYING RN
i was kinda hoping for the same tbh, since i use they/them pronouns as well, but on the other hand (paw?) its interesting to see who the character we play as is :D
Being a nonbinary person myself, I absolutely get that! In this case I decided against it, because Arvo is more of a fully fledged character than a self-insert avatar for the player, but that might not be apparent at first when starting the game.
I agree I love the game. Idk why it has so many downvotes maybe ppl are against us non binary people. I genuinely wasn't complaining cuz I like the game. I just wish I knew ❤️
Hello, it's been a while since played this and played the latest update. I played Rune's route and it was cute and wholesome... and some steamy moments~😏 I really enjoye what you have done so far with the VN and look forward in the future.
[Spoiler alert if anyone wants to try to find his route by themselves]
You gotta follow him into the forest, which you can only do if some other love interest gives you their sweater (otherwise, choosing to go to the forest a second time without a sweater will say that it's too cold outside and force you back inside).
Depending on where you sit and who you talk to during breakfast, the character may tag along and help you look for your missing keys (if you tell them about your problem). A few of them will offer their sweater so you dont freeze your ass off. 😁
The only ones I know of that give you their sweater are Rune and possibly Devon (although it's been a while since I played Devon's route). After that go to the forest a second time and keep following him. (The rest I'll leave as a surprise 😉)
Much appreciated! thank you for clearing that up, though I already happened to see these events :0 what I mean is, is there another encounter after that? or a way to pick him after the telescope lesson?
If I remember correctly, 1.Sit with Mikko -> 2.Go look for the key(then get jacket from Bjorn) -> 3.Go to the forest(Klaus) and follow him deeper(Nightmare) -> 4.stay with Bjorn in telescope session -> 5.Ask to sleep in Bjorn room -> 6. Follow Klaus

Wow. That's looks like some really weird RenPy glitch. Do you get it each time you try to get past that point?
In any case, clicking Ignore should proceed the game
So it happens in almost all the same ones, but when the lights go out in day 2, it happens there as wel

yes
(SPOILERS!)
I CANT BELIEVE TRAVIS WAS THE ONE WHO STOLE OUR ROOM KEY
that makes sense (o゜▽゜)o☆
Wait excuse me?? When was this mentioned???

Spoilers
He was talking about bjørn
In Bjørn's route
He said that Travis entered his literary piece in his name without his knowledge.
(If you haven't 't played the most recent update, only read this when you have.)
Well damn, you were spot-on with Travis, props to you dude!
spoiler
It's possible for Travis to stole the key.
reference: after the first meal scene in cafeteria, when Arvo returned to his room
"I bump into a few students on my way out of the cafeteria, but thankfully the bun didn't take any damage"
I forgot who Travis was since the last time I've played this was maybe.. 0.4?
the tanuki
What came to mind first was Konousuke from morenatsu but yeah, I remember now thanks ^ w^
lol that is understandable
I love this VN so much, possibly the best I've ever played
Update day, woooo ! I'm new here, so does anyone know what time updates are supposed to drop ? Thanks a lot in advance, I can't wait to see more of best bear boy Bjørn.

At the permission of Keo Blau (composer), my friend ElkSponge has transcribed Red Scarf! (the piece Mikko plays at the piano in the common room)
Check this tweet for the links! https://twitter.com/TechGamesPlus07/status/1451531054460772357?s=20

Привет! Как там в Финляндии? В прошлый раз так к вам и не попал из-за ковида.
У нас все как обычно, у власти врунишки, погода мерзкая, но мы держимся:)
Can i ask what is the name of the piano piece Mikko played at the common area? Is it a piece made for the game or can i find it on youtube?
Edit: So the name is Red Scarf and its specifically made for the game, i want to play the piece on my piano but im new to playing and i cant transcribe yet, although i managed to do the G Clef of the Beginning. (Sorry i dont know how to use musical terms correctly yet)
my friend transcribed it recently. I don't know if i can send the link to it, so I tweeted out Dawn Chorus asking. No reply yet
hey how can I fix the traceback error?![]()
Just finished the update on Devon's route and... Welp, this is where I live now.
*respectfully throws travis for stopping the kiss*
this torture ;-;
also omgthatdevonartissoamazing
I wonder , where can I get my hands on the music Torulf plays on the ... vinyl player ? I really really like it and I'd love to listen to it outside of the game
https://buildingslikeradiators.bandcamp.com/track/tender-snouts-burning-campfire...
ngl tho, i liked Klaus' old sprite better
funni emoRune is so precious god I love him but then came the sad realization that the build ended there and that no one loves me :'3
this is weird but I finished the build kinda in the same mood, realizing I have no one to embarrass myself in bottle games lol
i just happened to find out my life is a failure after Rune's route
I was literally screaming while playing this
My god, this game is amazing! I'm astonished by how this game actually was going to turn out, and was scared about if anything bad would appear. In the end, it was an amazing story and I cant wait to see if the next update will continue the story. Even my friend is helping me by transcribing Red Scarf (the piano piece Mikko plays) so I can play it. I love the story, the characters, and can't wait for more :)
Has your friend transcribed it? I wanna play it too
they did transcribe it. not sure if the developers would like it not, but maybe I can get them to release it
Oh, okay
i tweeted Dawn Chorus out asking for permission today. awaiting response
Bruh I'm like only quarter gay, and this shit is great. I need more cozy vns
im late but omg we got more rune love
This game is so amazing I can't put it into words. The story of each route is extremely promising and I love the wholesome interactions every character has with eachother.

Also am i the only one whos obsessed with jorgen and mikko and lake
I haven't gotten around to Jorgen or Lake's route, but mikko gives off such good vibes. Reminds me of some people I know.
RIGHT??? mikko is so wholesome but it's so obvious he's in love with u... And the way he only shares that energy with us??? Like when he gets happy seeing us I can't omg

can someone tell me how to fix this im on Android
i have no idea but wtf this bug is hilarious
that's terrifying
i would really like if the game offered pronouns? im only a little bit into it so im not sure if it is offered yet or is the MC a man
Ok I just found out it's a BL :(( I wish I knew beforehand cuz I use they them pronouns. I'm still going to play tho because it seems really good
why does this have so many downvotes???
i was kinda hoping for the same tbh, since i use they/them pronouns as well, but on the other hand (paw?) its interesting to see who the character we play as is :D
Being a nonbinary person myself, I absolutely get that! In this case I decided against it, because Arvo is more of a fully fledged character than a self-insert avatar for the player, but that might not be apparent at first when starting the game.
I agree I love the game. Idk why it has so many downvotes maybe ppl are against us non binary people. I genuinely wasn't complaining cuz I like the game. I just wish I knew ❤️
Damn I feel bad because I done fast tracked myself to Devon route abandoning rune lol
me at start of the game: this is at build 0.13, its prob gonna be long! Im so excited!
me now: wait what the fuck i need more I NEED MORE I NEED MOOOORRREE
I love this game so much, but I am terrified by the implications that this universe has it's own version of Birdemic.
I will not rest until the day we get the character chibis as stickers as merch!
Yes, that's correct c:
HELP,,, How do i update the game? D:
I'm on Android and it says that if i'll download i'll have to download everything again
Hello, it's been a while since played this and played the latest update. I played Rune's route and it was cute and wholesome... and some steamy moments~😏 I really enjoye what you have done so far with the VN and look forward in the future.
I hope the characters' sprites will be updated in the future, because now the characters in CGs are very different from their sprite versions
A reverse thing is more likely to happen, we're rather happy with the sprites and feel like the style fits the visual novel well.
I'm inclined to agree. The sprites feel.... Lowkey? It's absolutely in line with the rest of the atmosphere.
Lake is best boi <3
Lake is Pogger.
I can't find Klaus as an option after the stargazing lesson, is there a hidden way to get more encounters with him?
[Spoiler alert if anyone wants to try to find his route by themselves]
You gotta follow him into the forest, which you can only do if some other love interest gives you their sweater (otherwise, choosing to go to the forest a second time without a sweater will say that it's too cold outside and force you back inside).

Much appreciated! thank you for clearing that up, though I already happened to see these events :0 what I mean is, is there another encounter after that? or a way to pick him after the telescope lesson?
[Spoiler]
You need to ask Bejorn(The bear) to sleep in his room, later on you will have a option to follow Klaus.
I did choose the follow option but it didn't lead to actually following him, is there something that needs to be done for that to actually happen?
vvvvvvvvv
If I remember correctly, 1.Sit with Mikko -> 2.Go look for the key(then get jacket from Bjorn) -> 3.Go to the forest(Klaus) and follow him deeper(Nightmare) -> 4.stay with Bjorn in telescope session -> 5.Ask to sleep in Bjorn room -> 6. Follow Klaus
Hope this help!
Gamer lion bf knows what's up
hes wrong, mushrooms are great
yeah mushrooms are totally poggers
It tad ok, but not really big fan of them.
I feel so afraid Klaus because about the monster in the woods.
