While I had overlooked this VN due to the horror genre not being by cup of tea, I am so glad I finally decided to give it a chance! I really enjoyed the story so far, and especially getting to know the large cast of characters who each feel like distinct individuals. I appreciate how difficult it is to incorporate so many characters from unique backgrounds, and you have done an excellent job bringing their personalities to life. I have read many stories where the side characters are just so forgettable and underutilized, so I want to highlight how much I enjoyed getting to know this cast and becoming invested in their own personal stakes during this tale. I was on the edge of my seat during several moments! The music is so excellently appropriate for each of the scenes; being haunting, chilling, unnerving, and downright oppressive when it needed to be! The artwork is wonderful of course, all of these characters are so cute, it kind of makes be sad this isn't a dating sim! Not that I want it to be, I just mean that to say I feel so compelled by their stories I want to get to know them better (a hallmark of good writing)! Great work so far, and all the best as you continue toward the exciting conclusion!

P.S. I do have a couple of small suggestions for two of the scenes, but of course I do not want to overstep any boundaries! I have really enjoyed the story so far, and can't wait for the next update!

...That's not Connor.

What a thrill! But now, I'm left hungering for more. I need more, MORE! 

I also really like how we get to see the characters "In action" now that we've gotten to know them over the past few updates. Heck, they're also well-written enough that I can see myself amongst the group!

And now with the horror in motion, I am even more excited to see what the next update has in store~

This was well worth the wait, indeed.

This was absolutely amazing. I downloaded long ago (aprox 2 years), but I honestly had completely forgotten about it. Thankfully the latest update brought me right on track and in a couple days I read through the entirety of the story currently available and what to say, I was really amazed by the atmosphere and the art pieces (especially later down the line). I actually appreciate how much “calm before the storm” the first couple of days provide before the story takes the plunge towards the horror. These earlier days might feel weaker especially compared to what comes next, but they are vital to get to know the characters, oh the characters! They are very well written and feel diverse, appropriately likeable / unlikeable and their dynamics with one and the other feel very realistic.

Greatly done, Karras! I look forward to see more!

A story always worth the wait. This update has been phenomenal, and heartbreaking. One of the deaths really got to me, especially with the art. I've become extremely attached to these characters, and the story and atmosphere are just perfection. Easily the best furry horror VN I've ever seen

Now the long wait for the next update, haha

I absolutely adore this vn. It's my number one pick, seriously. This novella is something special for me because of its winter atmosphere, plot and character dynamics, which resonate so much with me. The cold never bothered me anywaaay🪄 

Also, psychological thrillers are my favorite genre. Even before the new update, I already saw huge potential here. I first started reading it back in the winter of '23, which made my experience with the novella even more powerful.

I like that, despite everything, some funny moments still manage to emerge, as if recalling the calm beginning of the novella where everyone is just getting to know each other, which I really enjoyed too.

And I also immediately noticed that Stefan is shown in the menu, as if for a reason, as if there's some kind of hint there, but we'll see. 

I'm still reading the new update, starting to think it's the end of the update, but instead it keeps going, masterpiece after masterpiece. More and more and more and more and more. It's pure delight. 

The wait is definitely worth it. 

The music in the novella is so gorgeous, I sometimes listen to some of its tracks on repeat. 

Karras is a legend, an icon, an idol.

AHH, that cliffhanger! I grow more and more invested in the story with every update, I can't wait for the next one!



Spoilers:



Honestly, with everything going on in the story, I have so many theories, I'm eagerly waiting for them to play out. Especially the ones regarding everyone disappearing repeatedly to speak with “someone” and thinking they’re being discreet about it. It's going to be extremely tricky with the ending to this update, but I'm excited to see where the story goes from here. It is my assumption that Gail is alive because if she isn’t, that’s about to complicate the story ten fold, and it’s time they start talking about the “other person” on the ship considering Garret attacked Gail because he thought she was Connor.

(9 edits) (+1)

Spoilers:








I hope Gail is alive, too. I'm also hoping that she's not too badly hurt or at least, not critically, and that she's just passed out and will wake up soon. It's bad enough that Garret attacked her in a case of mistaken identity, even if you ignore the fact that Garret almost stabbed Dana earlier because he didn't recognize her in the dark. If Garret killed Gail, a fellow teammate and the only person in the group who knows the most about medical care, then, like you said, it's about to make the story ten times more complicated. 

(1 edit)

Spoilers:








Gail is very much a favorite among the cast, in terms of all of the other characters pretty much liking her and not having some beef with her, so I have no doubt that Garret is going to be detained and under constant supervision afterwards.

Unfortunately, I do imagine Gail received some permanent damage (I.e. scarring) that she’ll have to live with, I doubt it will be as simple as waiting for her to wake up. However, it’s a difference of “You attacked Gail! Now no one trusts you!” Versus “You actually killed Gail, so Tabby wants to kill you in revenge.”


Although! There is one other possibility, albeit there’s literally no evidence of this as yet, since it ended on a cliffhanger that was designed to imply Garret attacked Gail. It is possible, although very unlikely, that it wasn’t Garret who attacked Gail. Instead, maybe Garret *did* attack “Connor”/the unknown entity aboard the ship, after Connor had attacked and tried to kill Gail. Granted, this is me being super, duper wishful and hoping that Garret is entirely innocent, so I can’t imagine this actually being what plays out.

That too.

That third possibility also seems highly unlikely to me, unless Garret's screaming from the agony of his thunderclap on steroids, maybe an illusion caused cast by the entity, had brought Gail, who was close enough to hear, running and the entity pretending to be Conner took the opportunity to attack Gail in an attempt to kill her while also casting an illusion that he's the one who  found Garret. Garret, who is being driven insane with pain, snaps and attacks fake Conner and hurts him, losing awareness just as he lunges at Conner, but Conner gets away, and then Garret loses consciousness.

Do you think that the entity who's taken on Conner's appearance, imitating Conner and his mannerisms so well that it's fooled Garret into thinking that it's Conner, was the only one left aboard the Arran before our heroes arrived, or that there are two Conners on board the Arran with the group, the actual Conner who miraclously survived for two years, and an entity pretending to be Conner, as I've mentioned above?

(2 edits)

Spoilers:









Realistically, if the entity played a part, Connor is dead. However, technically speaking, there is still food on the ship that the group found after the fact. If there was absolutely no food left on the ship, then I would unfortunately say that any surviving crew of the Arran would have resorted to cannibalism, ergo the absence of bodies, but most of the food on the ship would have been canned and had enough preservatives to last two years, and the Arran was stocked for a large crew for a multi-month journey, so Connor could be alive somewhere—the real Connor, not the one who doesn’t remember anything.


I also think there’s not just one entity/illusion at once, considering multiple people in the group disappear to speak with their loved ones at the same time.

(1 edit)

I think Connor is already dead. Remember the opening scene? He died inside the car with wound on his stomatch.

The entity, I think it gets inspire from movie the thing.

If my guess is correct, one of them is not the real person from before. I have a guess by process of elimination and looking at horror movie tropes. But I will save it until we have more info. But if I'm correct, this will be the greatest foreshadow and hint of all time.

(2 edits)

Spoilers:











I agree. There may be more than one entity and/or illusion at play onboard that're fooling everybody into thinking they're talking to a loved one who had survived, who told each of the party members not to tell everyone else that the loved one is alive during their reunion, like Connor told Garret the first time they met, considering everyone in the main cast is disappearing and then reappearing again all the time and claiming they got separated, lost, turned around, or went to investigate a noise.

I think I've figured out why Joseph and June were the first two victims out of everyone who made it on board the Arran. Neither of them had loved ones among the crew of the Arran.

Up there with Echo as one of the best furry VNs fr

Phenomenal update as always. That ending goes harddd!

+1 on wanting a Discord server bc there’s so much to talk about and theorize on!

(+4)

Oh god, why it's ended when some horror stuff just kick in. Now I'm more invested than ever for this VN!! 

(+4)

Fantastic! Never give up on this. Ive been obsessed since February last year and I'll be sticking around for all the updates no matter how long they take!

(+4)

God, even if the game updated annually. It worth every fucking minute to play it. This is so good! Please keep with the excellent work! 

Is there any plan for a discord server? 

(+5)

Thanks! There’s no discord or plans for one right now unfortunately, primarily because of the effort to administrate, moderation etc. If I manage to get into a more frequent update schedule I may reconsider though!

(+5)

Absolute Cinema... ✋😭✋ 

Aint no way that cliffhanger can make me sleep tonight.

(+5)

btw this chapter was so deeply evil of you, I love it

(+3)

Latest update was incredible, I'm still taking notes about possible outcomes given all the information being laid out. I could honestly see the story having 4 or 5 different endings while certain events played out. Though after that crazy cliffhanger of an ending, I think things might be heading into a different direction already... either way, this update really skyrocketed my love for this VN to being one of my all time favorites, I'm excited ( and a bit scared 😢) to see what happens next!

(1 edit) (+4)

Well that was utter peak, when do you think we'll get more of it? Obviously you should take all the time you need but I'm on the edge of my seat

(+1)

The author's usually doing yearly updates, due to doing it on his free time occasionnally. The last build was August 2024.

(+1)

yeah I see the pattern, I guess I'm just maybe hoping they pick up faster production, it happens on projects sometimes, at least that I've seen on itch, obviously I'd never even slightly want it at the cost of an author's mental of physical health or quality of the project, I'm just a man hoping he has to stick to the edge of his seat a little less for one of his top 3 VNs in terms of hype, and also very high up in terms of quality too

is this nsfw?

(+1)

Nope

not yet or fully SFW?

(+2)

there won’t be any NSFW. Originally there was some planned but that’s not the case anymore so (violence notwithstanding) it will be SFW

(+2)

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

(+4)

GOD this VN is so good. New update is 10/10 and very much looking forward to the future of it

Is this VN still alive?

(3 edits) (+2)

The autor released a public post on his patreon that can be viewed by anyone.

Short version : his real life situation got hectic, but he's still planning to release the build soon, hopefully Halloween.

PS : A fitting release range, if I may say ^^

Hell yea, looking forward to it

If you check the patreon page, even without being member to see the full post, the title of his lastest update 31th July is titled with "release date", so since another post partially public said it was pretty much done a few month ago and started the editing, this mean the next update is most certainly about to release (for patreon i guess) very soon.

It's also consistent with his yearly release schedule.

Brace yourselves for another tour into the horror of the Harran  (°^°)'

aaaaa I can't waiiit

Me too! Thing is, status updates and whatnot are in their patreon, which requires a subscription! Like, why do I even need to pay to even hear about what's going on in Development?

There is a bill in congress right now that would make it illegal for any financial service provider to directly or indirectly prohibit or inhibit any legal transaction. It's called the Fair Access to Banking Act. H.R.987 in the House, S.401 in the Senate. Call your Representatives. Get it passed.

Hope we hear back from Karras

(+9)

Hey Karras, how are you going today, little question, is there going to be an update on this the last time I asked? Is it going to continue where we left off until something happened with Garret and Aaron together running to something? Would love to know when the next update happens!

(+1)

The sound sfx ARE PERFECT IN EVERY SCENE. my heart was beating out of my chest like a jackhammer while reading this, where the story ends, when he saw something, i literally held my breath :[

(2 edits) (+8)

Holy FUCK this was an impressive read. Sitting at the edge of my seat and eagerly awaiting for the next update.

Also where the story currently cuts off dam near gave me a heart attack. ;-;

(+2)

Hey there! How's it going today? I was wondering if you have any idea when the next update might be coming. I'm really enjoying everything so far—10/10! I'm super excited to see what happens next! I hope we’ll get to uncover more about Connor and the others' families after that intense ending, and maybe even figure out who the killer is. It would be amazing to reunite with Connor and spend some time back home together! Keep up the fantastic work!

(+20)

hey!


So it’s been difficult to provide new releases, half because it takes time for my artist to create the assets needed, and the other half is because my time has been very limited by my day job. I’m getting more free time at the moment so I will be able to make more progress writing wise, but I don’t have any specific date at the moment. I know this is frustrating, it is frustrating for me too, but I promise you I am working on it as best I can!

(+2)

Hey Karras! No need to rush—just take your time and work through everything at your own pace. I really appreciate all the hard work you’re putting into the game! I can't wait for the update whenever it’s ready, Karras!

I also have a little question for you: I just recorded the first episode for my YouTube channel and now I'm in the editing phase before I post it. Would it be cool and okay with you that if I included a link to the game download and your itch.io account in the description? I had such a blast recording it, and I think it would be awesome to share it with others on my YouTube channel!

Hope you have a fantastic rest of your day, Karras! 😊

(+5)

Take all the time you need. It is a taxing process to create, and you shouldn't rush it. I hope to see more soon, but please don't feel any unnecessary pressure! We'll wait so it can be as good as you feel it should be :3

(+1)

Hey, it's me again! How's the progress coming along with writing more of the story? Any new updates to share? I hope you're doing well, Karras!

(+1)

Just happy to see you're still alive and well!

(+2)

I check in regularly, always hoping for an update to this incredible story. I really feel for the characters and hope they survive. However long it takes for the update, it's worth the wait!

(1 edit) (+1)

From what I've gathered, since the autor is working on it there and there like W-E and such, the schedule tend to be yearly, and last build was out in August, so probably a few months ahead left of waiting.

(+2)

When do we get mooooreeeeeuuh

(+2)

The image at the start is this furry trying to be like Simon herniksson in cry of fear ?     Because they way simon are like doing like that to a wall

(+6)

Phenomenal characters, phenomenal plot, phenomenal emotion and environment, it's just... phenomenal. Absolutely desperate for a new update someday, hopefully. Outstanding work.

(+1)

only a week since I finished current build and I need moooooore, I can hear something banging on that big vault door a la outlast whistleblower type shit, I neeeeeeed it, it calls to meeeeeeeeeee
