Komorebi

The main cast spends the first hour of the game hyping up the author’s self insert who’s a rich, famous, and universally loved pop star.

Furry 1984 but if it was boring and with self insert characters as romance options Meh/10 For a visual novel, it really doesnt have things that a visual novel should have. Being able to rewind and change dialogue option, see the log,etc. Just play winds of change, just a better visual novel overall, and from the same guy Also fun fact. theres drama behind the music made for this game, and the dev just deleting the entire album after the writer of the songs said some stuff. I dont know, dont really care.

TL;DR - All style, no substance. Missing features available as standard in 99% of free VNs. Instead, go play a free VN on Itch.io, another VN on Steam or play Winds of Change instead by Klace now while it's on sale (currently around 1 GBP at time of writing) which sets a much better atmosphere for 10x cheaper. I really wanted to like this one as I enjoyed Winds of Change, and picked it up on a whim during the Anthro Festival sale, but 20 or so minutes in and couldn't bear continuing with this one for several ones. 1. The weird graphical querks - I usually play VNs on the Steam Deck and the whole 'I'll make the whole background move' at a slight mouse touch is really noticeable on it. It's probably a me problem not looking at the trailers beforehand, but this actually made me feel a bit queezy? I don't really see what it's adding either? Also the whole 'breathing' animation (the sprites elongating up and down) is really cheap and lets what is a polished art style down. Adding querks for the sake of querks isn't a good thing. 2. The UI - It's practically barren and lacks accessibility options and a backlog. I sometimes miss things, or life gets in the way and I come back after a short break and would like to be able to reference back. If you're selling a VN at the usual price of 20 or more GBP, I would expect these as standard - case in point, most VNs on Itch.io which are free to play have these, and as far as I remember, Klace's other VNs had these? To add insult to injury, many other free VNs have dyslexic text options to help those who can't read as well and this is also missing. 3. The story - Again, subjective, but there was nothing to pull me in in the time I played. I was introduced to two characters (one being the counsellor, the other the 'online friend') but the friend just seems to come from nowhere? There was no build up as to why I should care? Like what connected them in the first place? Shouldn't that be built upon a little in the car ride at the beginning? Again, free VNs have pulled me in way before this point with either their premise or art and I don't particularly feel like waiting around for an hour or two before it's explained. Overall, it seems closer to Major/Minor which I also didn't particularly like (or finish) but at least that didn't have the annoying querks, and had in theory an interesting premise. I've read that the story of this is basically a Klace insert from another review (which people have argued that Major/Minor also is) so based on that I've asked for a refund.

Amazing visual novel and an underrated gem. Also great voice cast of guys who are already used to voicing hot anthro men (voices of Legosi, Ravali, and Angel Dust in the hazbin pilot)

Im still going through the story. I think I might be half way through but I main thing I wish is that we had a choice. Half of the time you are given a prompt to select but theres only one and there are a few situtation where having multiple prompts couldve maybe changed the story instead of being forced 1 choice. Good for passing the time though.

My favorite Furry VN so Far, Best Story and Characters...i love this game! Thank you Klace, for making this game...

It's an incredible story that throws most normal tropes out the window. The characters feel so different and unique. Dante is malewife, and Isaac is bestest boi zero is hot

I've played through the first Pivotal fragment and am going to continue, likely. I play furry visual novels (gay ones especially) constantly. I feel like the dialogue in this is really cheesy. Every line (an HOUR into the game) has to be some grand philosophical statement. The game is best, I feel, with its polish and branding. The music and art are great. I like the fragment mechanic well enough. I just think its entirely too pretentious. Every character talks like a grand philosopher. The writing is the best when the characters are discussing the main idea (komorebi) or when the main character is talking to the counselor. Other than that, its very hard to not roll my eyes when reading.

honestly this was entirely an impulse buy after seeing the cast of voice actors, and i went into it with no expectations. somehow, despite my lack of expectations, the game [i] still [/i] managed to blow them out of the water. furries are geniuses dude

Adorable Game...
