FAQ:
Q: Is this game adult or not?
A: It's a 18-rated adult oriented game, yeah.
You may expect light nudity on some choices, but it's mostly SFW for the moment. There will probably be light-erotic scenes in the future, but no heavy NSFW !
There is strong language involved, and there will be violence (hits, blood, suicide, killings etc...) but we intend to implement Trigger Warnings for such routes. The demo involves strong language and light nudity (some puns involve weed, too)
Q: Are there any gay routes?
A: Yes, there are.
Further questions may be added if asked...
Waiting your reactions on our Discord Server !
From France with Love !

Hi !
We're not abandonning the project ! We had some minor setbacks around translation but we are still willing to work on it. We want to give meaningfull informations about further devs, so we are quite silent, but we are alive !
Wow over a year since it was last updated
but I trust in what the dev said a month ago
Just gotta be patient
We're not dead !! Thank you very much for your patience !
Rip game, I liked the story (and that kid mouthing me off scene threw me off) and I hope that the update is still being worked on as I seen the artist moving to a new project

Please don't bury us so fast ! (Alright we maybe had it coming)
We are Indeed slow but we assure you we're still working on this and don't plan on abandonning in ! We're mostly... Very busy with life, but we're taking measures !
Thanks !
When are you going to release the next update of this visual novel?
Heya !
The story is mostly done for the next segment, we still have some integration work and the translation part !
We've tackled most of the big parts (mostly a BIG code update), so we're hopefull it'll come in not such a long time ! Can't announce a date tho ( :
Thanks for your interess !
The most updated version is available to all correct? Or do you need to pay? But I do love the novel so far! It is very good!
Thank you very much !
We may monetize some parts in the future, but at the moment everything is free !
Awesome! I really cannot wait to see even more of this! It really is becoming one of my favorite Visual novels! Please keep up the great work!
Thank you very much !! 💙
Is the game done for? :(
no !!
We don't have a release time but we're not dead ! Just have **a lot** on our plates atm ! But don't worry we're still going string about it !
I enjoyed the story so far, any clue on a time frame for the next update?
Hi !
Sorry for the very late reply ! We're gonna try to make another update this year but no promises !
Is this Have a Gay Content
Yep !
Can i ask when The Android Version 0.3 is gonna release??
We are not sure yet but we will really try to include an Android version with our next release ! That's one of our priorities
hey edraken love the game when should we see another playable character because i really like how the story is set and i wanna see it through a different characters perspective.
Ho ! Sorry for the very late Replay ): We don't really know when we will release this part of the story, but it's a very important feature that won't disappear
Jusque ici, je trouve ce Visual Novel vraiment très intéressant et j'ai vraiment hâte que l'histoire se développe d'avantage (et j'apprécie énormément le fait que l'histoire soit également disponible en français, même si l'anglais n'est pas un problème pour moi.)
Continuez comme ça, vous faites un travail exceptionnel ;)
Merci beaucoup beaucoup pour ton soutien !
Produire une version française, malgré le public majoritairement anglophone, nous tient beaucoup à cœur !
If i may ask; what's the proper trigger for the diferent night encounters?
Hi, we'd rather not disclose this yet, but please feel free to discuss it with other players on the discord server to figure it out !
We may answer those kind of questions later, probably on specific channels (e.g. spoilers chans) !
the blue vulpine is such a lovely projectionist edgelord .
emperor palpatine would be proud XD.
he's lucky it isn't me instead of the current main character.
( :
*Mysterious background noises*
I would applaud your effort to scare me but
that method wont work on me, I am the one who sneaks and stalk in the shadows. you can not get under my skin using my own tactics :)
though i can definitely see this method being effective against the current main character XD
can't count how many times i've accidently startled someone simple by walking up behind them XD people i know already of course but it's always amazing how they never hear me coming.
i suppose i need to practice being more heavy on my feet or something XD

thank you for notifying us !! We'll investigate !
Thank you, Edrakan!
Also, what kind of species are protagonist?
No prob !
We tried to represent a broad range of species, and each character is a mix of several different animals !
Does the new update have gay content and routes to explore? Because as lovely as the girls are I'm only interested in the guys...
There'll be a taste of it !
Isn't there supposed to be new content? Cuz there's none for me
It'll come very, very (, very) soon, promise !
Well, I enjoy this in starting of this VN. Just hope you not still struggles snice last year March. If you are, take it slow and take your time.
Thank you very much for your kind words ! It's better than last year, we're adjusting !
That good to hear and your welcome ^,,,,^ Cheer!
Here we go !! : D
I ran into dome problems on android that basically makes it unplayable, the text and scenes keeps repeating and i can't get past it.
Edit: I can play it but when I start playing it might repeat. Oh and also am supposed to be able to pick female or nonbinary? If i am supposed to be able to it's not working.
Hi !
Could you specify which part repeat please ? Do you mean start from the begining, as if it didn't save ?
It's normal you can only pick the male character yet ! Other path are currently work in progress.
at the start it kept repeating the part over and over when I just wanted to move on with the story, eventually I could move on but and it worked fine.
thank you for your feedback ! We will investigate the problem !
Did this die?
it didn't !
A couple o' monthes, at most... But never dead !
Loved the game and can't wait for future updates. Will the other playable characters be added in the next update?
Not for the next update, sorry. It requires for us to rewrite all existing parts in a different way for each new playable character + new arts, and we're currently working on the next part of the story.
But we'll inform you when we're working on this!
Thank you very much for liking the game ♥
Something I noticed about the android version is that it would repeat dialogue. Nothing big just a couple of lines. Love the game so far!
May I ask you where it happens more precisely and which dialogue? It'll help us to fix it :)
Thank you very much!
I can’t seem to choose the characters gender
I believe male is the only one available currently, with the additional options coming in future updates.
It's this exactly, thank you (:
Can we still expect update release soon or has it been delayed?
Hii !
Thank you very much for your interess, a news is just on the way !
Just funny that in May it is my mother birthday. Lol
His bug wings on his head would be great fans if he could flap them like bugs, just a shower thought I had
He totally controls them ! They're part of his body like everything else !
Phew, thank you for that. Gotta find cheap and effective ways to cool off, and having him as a friend would be a savior in the Summer! (also the smoke makes me think of cartoons where smoke comes out of their ears when they're mad lmao xD)
ya.. but not everything that is part of someone they have control over.
you have pretty much no control over your digestive system or your heart pumping or reproduction systems.
most of these things are out of the control of the person they belong to and have subconscious control if any.
i image this is a similar situation to most animals tails as well but i would not know as i don't have a tail to confirm this.
Eyy, merci pour le jeu amusant! L'histoire est vraimainte amusante lire et j'ne peux pas attender pour la prochaine mise à jour.
Aussi avez une bonne journée Edrakan et Ruby (ou mourrezzzz >:000
Pas de soucis, merci pour ce retour super sympa !! Ce sont ces commentaires qui nous motivent à continuer !!
Thought the title was Wheelchair Institute. Will play the game and leave a review later.
It's... Not but we had a good laugh reading that : D Please do ! We hope you'll enjoy the demo !
This is honestly one of the better ones I've encountered. No non-sense, straight to the point, recognizable and interesting characters. I really love the art style and the writing is very well put together. Honestly, the only thing I can even critique about the work so far is the occasional typo, but they are far between (I think I only saw maybe one or two). Awesome work, definitely donating.
Thank you very much for playing and for your awesome review, it makes us really happy ! We hope you'll enjoy further playing it !!
when the next update will be avalible?
March 2021 ... as stated above
Ok, thank you :D
Delayed to May
Can I be a male character and only romance other male characters? :3
Yes, totally !
Yay! Oh I love this visual novel a lot! I hope the guy from the reception desk will be dateable, he is super cute. And I hope the doctor will be dateable too
Eheh thank you !
Can't say a thing... (:
is there any male love interest
Yes ! They'll appear on the next segment of the game !
thx for info also i love the game i hope u continue to do a great job and create games just as wonderful like this game
Thank you very much for your kind comment and support !! <3 We're still working on it ! Next update around september !
you're welcome
Is there any transgender men and women?
Hii,
No, at least in the main characters : to be honest we thought about treating the subject but the story is actually pretty complicated and we feel like we're not informated enough not to make any mistakes about it.
It's totally part of the things we wanted to talk about, but we finally chose not to in sake of the quality of the final product (and our lack of knowledge).
Thanks for your interest !
Is May 2020 update coming soon? It is already June :3
By the way, nice VN. It has catched my attention.
Hii !
Thank you very much for your interest and kind words !
Indeed we weren't able to make a version for May, and it'll be postponed for some weeks. We'll make a news next week about it with more informations about how much we've done and what we still need to do !
Great. Thanks for the reply :)
The creative premise and art style pulled me in so fast. Safe to say I'll be looking foward to every single update.
Hoping for some nice Gay routes OwO
Thank you very much ! We hope to meet your expectations ! <3
This game is FANTASTIC! Such gorgeous visual, the story gets you engaged right away! UI is so polished, i couldn't believe it was ren.py based! I look forward to seeing where this project goes! Are you still accepting donations on paypal?
Thank you very much for your kind words ! <3 It's really warming us up !
Yes of course, here it is : https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8eWyNiomRl
Thank you very much again !!
Is this game adult or not?
Hii !
It's totally SFW for the demo and there might be erotic scenes in the future, but no heavy NSFW !
There is strong language involved, and there will be violence (hits, blood, suicide, killings etc...) but we intend to implement Trigger Warnings for such routes. The demo only involves strong language (some puns involve weed, too)
It's an adult oriented game, yeah
Definitely yes! ;3
It depends the situations. But in the case of the main character, yes he must.
is there 18+ scenes , and is there guides?
I'm not sure August 2019 is upcoming
Maybe it's not clear, we will move them !
August 2019 and January 2020 are our pastly anounces (and cleared !) deadlines ! May and August 2020 are the upcoming one (:
I want to know before I play, is this novel nsfw or has any nsfw elements?
It's totally SFW for the demo and there might be light sexy scenes in the future, but no heavy NSFW !
Something is wrong with the Android version. When I get to the rename screen, it doesn't work, is it a big or something?
hii !
Ty for your message, we'll look into it and get back to you !
Do you have more informations about the problem ? Does it freeze or quit ? Can you go throught ? Are you stuck ?
Ty for your feedbacks
nothing froze, more like it was stuck in the same scene, I could still rename the character but it wouldn't let me go back or continue
alright ! We reproduced and are working on it, ty for telling us !
no problem
