Not a terrible VN by any means, but very basic in its tropes and writing. To be honest, the nicely drawn art and its style did make me hope for a better first impression - story wise.
Regardless, let's see (and hope) that the year(s) of development since the demos release will change that.
Edit: I don't really understand the comments beneath me, at all. People are way too willing to defend and/or shit on a game that barely contains enough content to feel that strongly about - be it negative or positive.
Sii, de hecho, esa es de mis visual novels favoritas, me encantaba la trama y cuando ví que seguía en desarollo, desactivaron los comentarios y no ví noticias, ando algo preocupado
Oh no! Someone dares to have criticisms for an in-development game! How could they, oh no!
The game being in development hardly excuses flaws with the core elements the developers are definitely not going to change after putting so much work into them, like the general stylistic direction or major plot points.
Let me summarize the demo: "Oh no, everyone's dead! Men, women, and even children! Such a massive and senseless loss of life! It's such a horrible tragedy! Oh god, there's a plush bunny in the sand covered in child's blood... BUT HEY, THE FOX IS A TSUNDERE, EVERYONE! LOOOL! O: OOOOOOOH! D:< NO I AM NOT! NOT LIKE I WANTED YOUR ATTENTION YOU BAAAAKA!"
That is just... not good writing. And the fact something so outright bad made it to the demo stage shows this is the intended direction for the project. So yeah, this is just a bad VN. Still in the making, but already clearly bad.
Seems a bit harsh for a story that's barely been started, and we can't really figure out what its intentions are yet.
also about the whole "who cares about everybody who died at all" I'd think they would explore how the characters feel more about that later, but I don't really know, you may be right.
I don't really mean to be rude about this and all but why do you feel so strongly that this game should be pushed down and not be seen? There's a lot of people that enjoy silly things like what your describing, and itch shouldn't be full of vn's that only you deem as "appropriate" or "well written." There are many worse ones, it's all just a matter of which ones are the better ones.
(You seem like an expert in this field, do you have experience writing vn's or stories? You give incredibly detailed reviews.)
seems like you hate a lot more than you like tho :p
if you want a high quality story that meets your expectations, just make it yourself lmao. If you can't even do that simple task you don't get to criticize others
at the end of the day, its still your opinion and I respect that, but making basically hate comments nitpicking what you don't like doesn't help the author really.
Go back and read your own comment. You just literally made a suggestion that only accomplished writers are allowed to criticize literary media. I'll be generous and call it silly, but you should know better than make such comments.
Oh well, what did I expect from a little troll who dives into my comments history in an attempt to dig up dirt instead of making a proper case for his point.
I don't follow this game but I decided to click on this page cause it's been a while since its demo release and I see this argument.
I'm just going to have to point you toward the fact that editors and proofreaders exist and they are considered PROFESSIONALS when reading and judging if something is "good". They know what makes for good writing but lack the ability to create for themselves. Especially so since they are CONSUMERS just like all of us.
Your comment does not make any rational or logical sense. Oh, you don't like this thing? You go make something better and let us all judge. That's like 5-year-old me trying to come up with an argument about something.
I don't know when will be the next update because it says on the more information tab that its still in develepment i know it sucks that its been taking soo long, but guys be patient they have lives too they will surely gave us soon some updates about the project .
If I recall correctly, they were having trouble with the writer. The broad strokes were done, they just needed someone to fill it in. Last I heard, they were able to get someone more permanent.
However, I'll concede that the promised chapter 2 is still not out
I check every day to see if the project has been updated yet, the story just seems that good. Is progress slowed since you don't have a writer, or that your writer is just super busy?
Basically, theyre working on the game so they can stress free do monthly updates, so theyre working on the first idk 12 months maybem then monthly updates as they wrok on the next 12 yk
I knew that, just asking if progress was slowed since their writer was super busy. They had mentioned releasing the first update as a one year anniversary thing or just soon in general, so I was just curious.
They are going make a new update, while *probably* releasing it within a 6 month range. They *probably* haven't released a specific date to not get our hopes up just in case something goes wrong and they have to postpone it further.
just curious, when in production do you plan to release your first content update? I know you’re sectioning the story into chapters so do you think you’ll release the first update once you finish chapter 2?
I'm like 90% sure they are completing the script for the entire or most of the game first, then working on adding the rest of the stuff for each chapter so it has a more reliable update schedule
exactly yes but we will uploading chapter 2 soon! It was supposed to be 1 year anniversary kinda thing but we realized that we need to add more sprite and there a few correction need to be made before releasing it
Everything is alright we still working on the script :D we supposed to release chapter 2 soon but since we see there a lot of potential of new sprite coming in we need to delay it just a bit more
Love the game! I believe I also found out the easter egg too! Can't wait for the next update! I know you guys are trying your bestest out there! I would vote this at the best furry game! 🗳

It has been more than one year since the last update…
Is this game being abandoned? I hope not 🤧
Damn the comments 'ere is a battlefield, but still can't wait for next chap
Note: If you want to go read some drama in the comments, scroll down just a tad :3
the comment section is a battlefield...
Even at the afterclass and farbeyondtheworld which has tons but the owner of fbtw took the comment section down completely.
Sii, de hecho, esa es de mis visual novels favoritas, me encantaba la trama y cuando ví que seguía en desarollo, desactivaron los comentarios y no ví noticias, ando algo preocupado
Loving this VN so far!
Terrific artwork but terrible writing.
This is just a tired anime clichés extravaganza with furries. Looks good but is really not worth attention.
literally no one else agrees with you and everyone else loves this game pookie
L take on a game that's barley out

YOU make a better one then. PLEASE if you know SO MUCH about writing, PLEASE write something better.
I don't follow this game but I decided to click on this page cause it's been a while since its demo release and I see this argument.

Bro. The guy complaining is not a professional proof reader. this was weeks ago, please go away.
I don't know when will be the next update because it says on the more information tab that its still in develepment i know it sucks that its been taking soo long, but guys be patient they have lives too they will surely gave us soon some updates about the project .
I think they don't have enough money to finish the game I guess
huh, no.
I'm pretty sure that isn't the problem lmao @_@
So where are the updates?
If I recall correctly, they were having trouble with the writer. The broad strokes were done, they just needed someone to fill it in. Last I heard, they were able to get someone more permanent.
However, I'll concede that the promised chapter 2 is still not out
Check their twitter....
I am new here...! Just wanted to know how things are going, the game so far is amazing. I just hope you are not feeling the weigh of big expectations.
I check every day to see if the project has been updated yet, the story just seems that good. Is progress slowed since you don't have a writer, or that your writer is just super busy?
Basically, theyre working on the game so they can stress free do monthly updates, so theyre working on the first idk 12 months maybem then monthly updates as they wrok on the next 12 yk
I knew that, just asking if progress was slowed since their writer was super busy. They had mentioned releasing the first update as a one year anniversary thing or just soon in general, so I was just curious.
amazing dialogue and art. can't wait for it to be continued.
Oh I forgot to mention is this a linear vn or are there routes
Because from the looks of it we can't go on Owen or Lucy's route
From what I recall, there are supposed to be routes for each of the characters you have met.
The choice in the end of the demo either doesn't matter in the long run, or there's more choices to solidify the route
Thanks
I just hope we get all 5 routes
i dont think lucy will be a route, but the other 4 absolutely
If you're fine with some reeally minor spoilers, they did a survey a long time ago, giving little hints for the direction of the fvn
The results of the survey: https://rentry.co/fotte
thanks for the survey though it doesn't outright say she's not going to be a playable route
Fingers crossed
My god this game is amazing
No doubt
A little too short but still good I hope it gets continued on though
Don't worry, the story is being worked on and the first update will release soon-ish
O.O What is up with that face?
I'M GETTING OLD.... Please I want the new chapter.
Are you going to make a new update to this visual novel? I'd really love to see more.
They are going make a new update, while *probably* releasing it within a 6 month range. They *probably* haven't released a specific date to not get our hopes up just in case something goes wrong and they have to postpone it further.
I hope chapter 2 will not be short
it might be, but even if it is there will be regular updates after that so we wont have to suffer for a couple years per update like we did now
just curious, when in production do you plan to release your first content update? I know you’re sectioning the story into chapters so do you think you’ll release the first update once you finish chapter 2?
I'm like 90% sure they are completing the script for the entire or most of the game first, then working on adding the rest of the stuff for each chapter so it has a more reliable update schedule
exactly yes but we will uploading chapter 2 soon! It was supposed to be 1 year anniversary kinda thing but we realized that we need to add more sprite and there a few correction need to be made before releasing it
Very, very excited for the next chapter and everything afterwards. I believe it'll be one of, if not, my favourite visual novels
maybe an update in march or april?
Ate agora estou gostando muito do jogo principalmente do Beru 🐻❄️❤️❤️
hey there hasnt been any upd on twitter or anything is everything still ok?
Everything is alright we still working on the script :D we supposed to release chapter 2 soon but since we see there a lot of potential of new sprite coming in we need to delay it just a bit more
okay thats fine. thank you for the update, no stress.
I got the feels
please just a teeny weeny update, I’m perishing 😵😵😵
PLEASE MAKE UPDATE I WANT MORE
So long
When do you plan on releasing your next update? I absolutely love this VN.
I WANT MORE UPDATES I LOVE THIS!!!
It has now been 2 years ago today that I have been viciously insulted by:

Quick question for The Stray Project; Who is your favorite character?
