I finished playing it yesterday, and i absolutely LOVED it!
It's very hard for me to get attached to any kind of fictional character but i would have been lying if i said i didn't get emotional throughout this VN.
Looking forward to playing more of this!
PS got kinda sad when the time skip happend i kinda wanted a scene where the MC woke up and had to get used to the new body.
Other than that i really want to see more of their family reacting to what happend to them.
Just played this game for the first time yesterday. It was a really enjoyable read and the premise is fantastic! having the Chinese room argument be the central focus of the main character's turmoil and the central theme of the game was a fantasic idea I think the cast is a little too large however. the most interesting parts are exploring the MCs relationship with his family, his reactions and struggles as an android and the internal and external politics of the company that made him. despite my gripes i still had a blast keep up the amazing work
Dont take my critisim too harshly, I dont know where the story will develop so I'm only giving my very surface level thoughts after a single playthrough. what you've created here is still super impressive in terms of conception and excecution.
Were you at all inspired by the use of the Chinese room argument in Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward by any chance?
I just did what felt right, honestly. I have played a lot of games and read a lot of books, but I usually just follow my own path when it comes to writing stories. Here's hoping it leads me someplace cool! ^w^
im trying to download it but at the 90% mark it stops and says app not installed and I'm just confused well duh that's way I'm installing it now and I can't for the life of me figure it aut (android A5) also I did had the 6.0 version installed prior to the 7.0
Be sure to have twice the available space for the app to install (on Android, apks are extracted as a temporary file before being installed, and subsequently, deleted)
Or if that doesn't help, try downloading the APK through another browser, some can corrupt the installer, even if you do have the available space to do what I said above.
it defenetly worked but now im in other truble brobobly a bug as when i go to type in your own name insted it Default's to Issac instead of the name I typed
hey sedge long time player i love all the new additions to the story so far hope to see new characters soon but i have one question when would the update for andriod come out.
interesting how main character thinks the species of dr.shelley is siamese cat. i would not have even guessed cat honestly.
i believe she is vulpine which would also fit nicely with the personality and to be specific i think she closely resembles a fennec. at least that is my best guess based on what i've seen
I'm also very over joyed to be playing this new build :)
We're actually looking into porting to Steam and iOS as we speak! iOS build should come out this year, whereas Steam will probably be ready by the end of January or start of February.
there may also be species intermingling assuming at least genetic compatibility.
so at the very least the mc must be of antelope family but not necessarily gazelle ... at least that what it would have been before the he got turned into a synth :)
of course this is only speculation at best since i'm not the one who wrote the story and their world may function differently in this aspect.
It's not immediately obvious, but the species of a couple's offspring is (for the most part) entirely random. A rabbit and dog couple could birth a cat, and another a hawk, for seemingly no reason. Even within families, it's rare to find two relatives who look alike (hence why the MC states their surprise upon meeting Nem's sister). The MC's original species is ambiguous. There is an explanation for this phenomenon, but I cannot say anything further without veering into spoilers so... =V
No, this has since been changed. The story is linear and won't feature choices anymore (aside from the option to change your name at the start and your choice of pronouns). There is no romance or anything of the sort, and the story doesn't prominently feature LGBT issues or prominently LGBT characters. Apologies if that sours your enjoyment of the novel. -w-
Im here again but first about my last comment about having problem on download I found a way by using VPN so if anyone having a problem with download just hit on playstore to install vpn app.
And for the game, Im gonna be complete honest cause it wouldn't be a sincere comment if I just said some simple good words cause it will be just "compliment" and not comment that may or may not help for the projects (lmao)
So, so far its good and intriguing to where the story will lead you and how you're suppose to struggle on the plot but Im gonna be honest, somewhat or somehow I got bored and It really got me thinking why then I thought of things, for me(just me) I feel its very slow pace I dont know if its intentionally slow pace story or not but I really feel its too slow and maybe because of long narration of pov yet the development of the story is, well, slow. Also the fonts are a little too hard to focus, maybe the font style or the color or even the size. Despite of my complaints its a good story so far(im not finished reading it) and the visual illustration is good specially those comic-like visualization. Anyways for now Im gonna read something else and when I feel like it I'll definitely finish this game and comeback to comment on the full game. Love you all......
Thanks for your thoughts! I feel like the upcoming rewrites definitely sped up the narrative a bit, but I can see why you'd find the current version a little slow. Still, I'm happy to hear you've been enjoying it! ^w^
I've heard this complaint from a few other people as well. I can see pictures just fine on all my devices, but some people seem to be having problems. =T
i think this game is not rly androind compatible as im constantly softlocked in typing your name as i cant progress no matter what i do or how i do it any help?
Yeah, I wouldn't know how to help sadly. It sounds like a problem with your device's keyboard... luckily, with the upcoming rewrites, you'll have the option of going with the character's main name without needing to enter anything if you wish. It's not a perfect fix, but it'll allow you to play the game at least. -w-
I love how the novel is it is peaceful when playing it and the animations and choices are really good it also is very peaceful for me due to my problems in the past but this novel helps me ease through the pain i have. I hope you make more content like this i really love it.
i've been noticing that a lot , not just this game but all over. seen plenty of comments that simple don't even make sense to disagree with have downvotes shrugs
my guess is either trolling or people with misplaced dislike, like how sometimes on steam if one of the companies that makes a game does something stupid and people dislike the game not because the game is bad but because of the company that made it or published it. this is obviously different from that but the general idea is the same , disliking something purely on association with the actual problem.
it's really hard to tell though without being about to ask them why they downvoted. perhaps in the future they can add optional comments to up/down votes like they have for ratings.
I don't know why but I just spent hours reading this and I am invested. This is amazing in every way possible. I'll definitely be checking for updates regularly!
Oh man, this game is philosophical. There are realistic debates about plausible events, there's humor, there's music, and I can't wait for more! Keep up the good work!
I opened this with the intention to entertain myself for 20-30 minutes while another game updated. Next thing I know I have read the whole thing (so far) and 8 hours have passed
This caught me and didn't let go, I can't wait for more!
can't say i would do the same things in his position but putting that aside it was a great story.
i think i have an idea of what is happening but i don't want to go into details , i guess my own logical conclusion will be the hook that will bring me back on the next update XD , it's so obvious that it's almost painful but i'll definitely have to wait and see, it's either that or i'm being thrown a lot of red herrings.
now of course just because i could not understand the main characters choices , that doesn't mean i was not invested. being able to temporarily put aside myself....
the only other game i've played that played with my mind in the way would be echo. not to say the other vn's aren't great of course.
Yeah the character has some choices that personally i wouldn't make plus there aren't too many choices to make (sometimes no choices for a whole in-game day)
(but this isn't really a problem, you don't need to have choices to tell a story, and the main character can make choices different than what's expected)
still a great visual novel I thoroughly enjoyed, though this comment made me realize just how many games there are on this website with the name "echo" lmao
and yes indeed you don't need choices to tell a story but it really does depend on the story that is to be told. giving the player choice , even a seemingly meaningless choice , is something that can cause the player to become invested in the story if they already where not.
hopefully if they remove the choices from the game they'll at least keep the questioning at the beginning where you input the name XD i named my character Zero.
Just download the latest version and boot it up. You can then delete your old game folder without issues. The save files are saved separately, so you don't have to worry about losing those.
I don't know if my question can be a spoiler because i guess that we will meet his parents at some point but what's the species of the MC before his transition ? Sorry for my bad English. (Nothing to see but thanks for regularly updating us on the status of the game. That's always a pleasure to read them).
You can follow the links to our musicians to find all the music they've composed for the game. Sadly, there is no unified playlist for the game anywhere due to all the different platforms they use..
Great art. great character conversations, great music as always. This build actually made me tear up.
I'm kinda pissed this level of quality doesnt get more attention... Y'all should really look into advertising this on things like de r/furryvns subreddit or something, im sure that'd help.
I tried in the past, but it seems like that subreddit's mostly dedicated to a few popular VNs... should discussions about NMF become more prominent there as well, however, I would love to start advertising there again. ^w^
The best furry VN i've ever read! Nice art style, original story, lovable characters, pleasant music and damn how i like MC's design. I wish you luck with that VN and hope to see more, just take your time with it.
Thanks for notifying us about it! For some reason, this bug keeps popping up from time to time no matter how often we try to fix it... here's hoping that it won't reappear again once the rewrites are over!
Just read through the whole novel and I have a qustion to ask. Why this vn gets so little attention? The writing, characters, music and the amount of detail in the story is really great and leave a nice amount of things to think about after reading the novel.
If you read this comment and are still unsure whether this vn is worth your time, I'd say it's definately worth it because this vn is 10/10.
But in all seriousness, it's definitely a very different kind of story compared to the average FVN. The story, the artstyle and, by a lesser extent, the music reflect that. It's not a story meant for everyone, in spite of the fact that it was made to appeal to anyone. I understand we'll never reach the same levels of fame that other VNs did. And maybe that's for the best. -w-
At the end of the day, all I wanna do is write a story that people love and can resonate with, while still being creative and personal. So thanks for letting me know that I'm succeeding, at least for now. ^w^
can't wait till the next update I really got into the game and kind of got mad when it said to be continued but I think its a good thing makes me egger for the next update I was so into it I supported it on your Patreon to help you with it you made a story in my opinion is very captivating and has gotten my mind thinking about spin off type things like if the MC were to somehow get an offer to join the police force of the town or something like that I feel like since the MC is a walking computer at this point it would make it interesting to say they least

I finished playing it yesterday, and i absolutely LOVED it!
It's very hard for me to get attached to any kind of fictional character but i would have been lying if i said i didn't get emotional throughout this VN.
Looking forward to playing more of this!
PS got kinda sad when the time skip happend i kinda wanted a scene where the MC woke up and had to get used to the new body.
Other than that i really want to see more of their family reacting to what happend to them.
Thanks! I'm glad you're liking it so far! ^w^
Just played this game for the first time yesterday. It was a really enjoyable read and the premise is fantastic!
having the Chinese room argument be the central focus of the main character's turmoil and the central theme of the game was a fantasic idea
I think the cast is a little too large however. the most interesting parts are exploring the MCs relationship with his family, his reactions and struggles as an android and the internal and external politics of the company that made him.
despite my gripes i still had a blast keep up the amazing work
I love to hear that! The bigger cast is definitely a challenge, but I feel as though every character in the novel has their purpose. ^w^
I hope you'll continue to enjoy the story as it develops! =3
Dont take my critisim too harshly, I dont know where the story will develop so I'm only giving my very surface level thoughts after a single playthrough. what you've created here is still super impressive in terms of conception and excecution.
Were you at all inspired by the use of the Chinese room argument in Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward by any chance?
Nope! Never played that game TwT
I just did what felt right, honestly. I have played a lot of games and read a lot of books, but I usually just follow my own path when it comes to writing stories. Here's hoping it leads me someplace cool! ^w^
im trying to download it but at the 90% mark it stops and says app not installed and I'm just confused well duh that's way I'm installing it now and I can't for the life of me figure it aut (android A5) also I did had the 6.0 version installed prior to the 7.0
Be sure to have twice the available space for the app to install (on Android, apks are extracted as a temporary file before being installed, and subsequently, deleted)
Or if that doesn't help, try downloading the APK through another browser, some can corrupt the installer, even if you do have the available space to do what I said above.
it defenetly worked but now im in other truble brobobly a bug as when i go to type in your own name insted it Default's to Issac instead of the name I typed
I have a similar problem now, and had in the past with another visual novel. Only a complete reinstallation helped
hey sedge long time player i love all the new additions to the story so far hope to see new characters soon but i have one question when would the update for andriod come out.
Later tomorrow, at the latest.
interesting how main character thinks the species of dr.shelley is siamese cat.
i would not have even guessed cat honestly.
i believe she is vulpine which would also fit nicely with the personality
and to be specific i think she closely resembles a fennec.
at least that is my best guess based on what i've seen
I'm also very over joyed to be playing this new build :)
Thanks! Hope you like everything else we added! ^w^
canada in your universe is so weird.
when i got to the end there and seen that question of course i had to select it XD.
anyways... now you definitely have my attention if you didn't already have it :)
oh i also once again further developed my hypothesis, but i'll have to recheck it against the story changes to be sure it still holds.
coffee and my intellect has rarely ever failed me so i believe i can be pretty confident with my hypothesis.
and if it is then president of the stick up thee butts club definitely has reason to worry, though it's not for the reason he thinks.
this scene always makes my blood boil a little (very effective story welling :) ) but it seems as though it still in favor of my hypothesis so far.
No. We are currently at Chapter 5, which is nowhere near the end. In fact, we only just begun! ^w^
I need more of this :D .great storytelling can't wait for more content
Please bring to steam when done!
We're actually looking into porting to Steam and iOS as we speak! iOS build should come out this year, whereas Steam will probably be ready by the end of January or start of February.
Thanks!
I don't remember when I downloaded this game so I searched it to see what it was I haven't played it yet but I think it will be good
I hope you'll find it entertaining! ^w^
From what I played so far its pretty good I think I got it a while ago so it's not the newest version so i will download the newest version
as a furry i relly like it so thx and thx
Thanks! ^w^
Is the mc a Gazelle I'm only assuming the mc is a gazelle based on their cousin?
there may also be species intermingling assuming at least genetic compatibility.
so at the very least the mc must be of antelope family but not necessarily gazelle ... at least that what it would have been before the he got turned into a synth :)
of course this is only speculation at best since i'm not the one who wrote the story and their world may function differently in this aspect.

There is an explanation for this phenomenon, but I cannot say anything further without veering into spoilers so... =V
is this gay? i wanna know before playing.
you choose your pronouns so it can be if you want it to depending on the route you choose and the options at the start
No, this has since been changed. The story is linear and won't feature choices anymore (aside from the option to change your name at the start and your choice of pronouns). There is no romance or anything of the sort, and the story doesn't prominently feature LGBT issues or prominently LGBT characters. Apologies if that sours your enjoyment of the novel. -w-
oh alright :3
No its SFW
To be fair, something being gay doesn't necessarily make it NSFW. -w-

I can't help but see Jasper have his tongue out because of the red machine behind him
Is it me or itch cant download or even show pictures right now since last few days
I've heard this complaint from a few other people as well. I can see pictures just fine on all my devices, but some people seem to be having problems. =T
i think this game is not rly androind compatible as im constantly softlocked in typing your name as i cant progress no matter what i do or how i do it any help?
That's strange... I never heard of this happening before. What Android version are you on?
I don't understand what you're referencing. Where does this bug occur?
Just tap the enter button on your keyboard or tap the name box again.
Yeah, I wouldn't know how to help sadly. It sounds like a problem with your device's keyboard... luckily, with the upcoming rewrites, you'll have the option of going with the character's main name without needing to enter anything if you wish. It's not a perfect fix, but it'll allow you to play the game at least. -w-
is it weird i love jasper for some reason??i normally hate smartasses but this time its different for some reason.
I'm sure you'll love his updated conversations in the upcoming rewrites even more! ^w^
I love how the novel is it is peaceful when playing it and the animations and choices are really good it also is very peaceful for me due to my problems in the past but this novel helps me ease through the pain i have. I hope you make more content like this i really love it.
Glad to hear that! Don't worry, we're already working on more content! I hope you'll enjoy our next build! ^w^
Where is all this hate bombing coming from? Did you burn down that local firm or something?
Excuse me...?
I don't get it either. 😅😅😂😂
I just meant on the ratings of comments saying good things about the game
Probably just idiots who wanna stir up trouble. I suggest ignoring that. =T
=D Very true, I shouldn't give them what they want.
i've been noticing that a lot , not just this game but all over.
seen plenty of comments that simple don't even make sense to disagree with have downvotes shrugs

This one hellova good story
Yes! Version 6! Also so much more cute Nem content I'm glad :)
I don't know why but I just spent hours reading this and I am invested. This is amazing in every way possible. I'll definitely be checking for updates regularly!
Love to hear that! ^w^
Oh man, this game is philosophical. There are realistic debates about plausible events, there's humor, there's music, and I can't wait for more! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! ^w^
The game is awesome and i cant wait for more story to come. Your doing great on this!
Thanks! ^w^
I opened this with the intention to entertain myself for 20-30 minutes while another game updated. Next thing I know I have read the whole thing (so far) and 8 hours have passed
This caught me and didn't let go, I can't wait for more!
Glad to hear it! I hope we'll keep entertaining you for another a hundred! ^w^
pretty wonderful game here.
can't say i would do the same things in his position but putting that aside it was a great story.

still a great visual novel I thoroughly enjoyed, though this comment made me realize just how many games there are on this website with the name "echo" lmao
yes well ... the echo i speak of is the 'echo' from the echoproject
https://echoproject.itch.io/echo
and yes indeed you don't need choices to tell a story but it really does depend on the story that is to be told.
giving the player choice , even a seemingly meaningless choice , is something that can cause the player to become invested in the story if they already where not.
hopefully if they remove the choices from the game they'll at least keep the questioning at the beginning where you input the name XD i named my character Zero.
i may have accidently further developed my theory while trying to sleep XD.
sometimes i hate this brain of mine.
Ya know i was sad when i got to the end because i really enjoyed this
Sorry about that... I hope you won't have to wait too long until our next update. ^w^
what can I say? I loved this visual novel, I will be looking forward to a new update!
Glad to hear it! ^w^
how do I update it
Just download the latest version and boot it up. You can then delete your old game folder without issues. The save files are saved separately, so you don't have to worry about losing those.
I don't know if my question can be a spoiler because i guess that we will meet his parents at some point but what's the species of the MC before his transition ? Sorry for my bad English. (Nothing to see but thanks for regularly updating us on the status of the game. That's always a pleasure to read them).
I was wondering the same
The MC's species is meant to be ambiguous. There is no canon species set for them.
is there a way of seeing all the music at once?
You can follow the links to our musicians to find all the music they've composed for the game. Sadly, there is no unified playlist for the game anywhere due to all the different platforms they use..
thanks for replying! Do they have a special name?
You mean the artists...? They're all listed at the start of the Itch page.
this GAME is sooo awesome i might be at the beginning or middle and the music the dialogs the whole story is so awesome!
Thanks! ^w^
Great art. great character conversations, great music as always. This build actually made me tear up.
I'm kinda pissed this level of quality doesnt get more attention... Y'all should really look into advertising this on things like de r/furryvns subreddit or something, im sure that'd help.
I tried in the past, but it seems like that subreddit's mostly dedicated to a few popular VNs... should discussions about NMF become more prominent there as well, however, I would love to start advertising there again. ^w^
well, just a couple days ago just a song from the game got a good amount of uppvotes, so the interest is there ;)
The best furry VN i've ever read! Nice art style, original story, lovable characters, pleasant music and damn how i like MC's design. I wish you luck with that VN and hope to see more, just take your time with it.
P.S. English is not my native language soo..
Thanks! Hearing that warms my heart. ^w^
Loved the VN so far and can't wait for more! The characters are interesting and the premise is really thought provoking!
Also, I noticed a small bug. It may not be in the patreon build but just in case (mild spoiler):
In this scene, I think you wrote out "he" instead of a getting the pronoun.
Thanks for notifying us about it! For some reason, this bug keeps popping up from time to time no matter how often we try to fix it... here's hoping that it won't reappear again once the rewrites are over!
nice
i just finished what's avalibable and heck i love it! the fighting scene was really fun and dynamic! im really hoping to see what's next~
Thanks! Next chapter sadly won't feature much action, but I hope you'll enjoy it nonetheless! ^w^
Just read through the whole novel and I have a qustion to ask. Why this vn gets so little attention? The writing, characters, music and the amount of detail in the story is really great and leave a nice amount of things to think about after reading the novel.
If you read this comment and are still unsure whether this vn is worth your time, I'd say it's definately worth it because this vn is 10/10.
Not enough loods, probably TwT
But in all seriousness, it's definitely a very different kind of story compared to the average FVN. The story, the artstyle and, by a lesser extent, the music reflect that. It's not a story meant for everyone, in spite of the fact that it was made to appeal to anyone. I understand we'll never reach the same levels of fame that other VNs did. And maybe that's for the best. -w-
At the end of the day, all I wanna do is write a story that people love and can resonate with, while still being creative and personal. So thanks for letting me know that I'm succeeding, at least for now. ^w^
can't wait till the next update I really got into the game and kind of got mad when it said to be continued but I think its a good thing makes me egger for the next update I was so into it I supported it on your Patreon to help you with it you made a story in my opinion is very captivating and has gotten my mind thinking about spin off type things like if the MC were to somehow get an offer to join the police force of the town or something like that I feel like since the MC is a walking computer at this point it would make it interesting to say they least
10/10 great game even if it isn't done yet
Thanks! I'll do my best to keep every step of this journey as intriguing and entertaining as the last! ^w^
i'll hold you too that not that i expect it to not be as good as the current update
This game has improved so much and is very good
Thanks! ^w^
