Our story is slice-of-life visual novel exploring queer romance with musical themes.
Join our foxy protagonist on his romantic journey as he navigates his fresh start in the city of Douglass. We join him during his first day of work at a local music store. Just one problem. He doesn't know anything about music!

I like that both routes have content that shows certain things Protag went through, though I feel bad doing Chester's route. because he's cheating (unless their relationship allows polygamy) on his husband with you!
would be funny if you make references for naming yourself names of characters too, but still. you do you. still a great fuckin' game!
Is there anywhere as a non-patreon user that I can get/download some of the music from this game? I really like the score.
You can find some (but not all) the tracks here! https://martinidog.bandcamp.com/album/chord-progressions
Ooooh, thank you!
i think i like Pat more not because of his Red flags... i mean he maybe sometimes breaking the rules of his workplace but he is still an adorable dog, hope no one hates him for that
Personally, I find it kinda hypocritical of Chester to call Pat out on that given he's married to Dave. Pat's my favorite character personally and easily the route I most wanna play. He seems like he's got some hidden depth to him that he hides behind that cheerful, sarcastic personality of his.
Still waiting here,take as much time you need don't rush it, totally understand everything so keep going!
Hmmm. I think I'll wait until Pat's route is available before I start things up. Trent and Cliff would be my second and third choices, respectively. I'm not really interested in Darrell as for Chester and Dave's routes, I'd honestly feel like a homewrecker since the two are married.
I noticed on the wiki most characters are gay. Will we be seeing any asexual or nonbinary representation among side characters who haven't appeared yet?
There'll be some nonbinary and asexual representation :3. I don't want to spoil anything by announcing who it will be and when.
Does anyone know how to subscribe to tags
Hey, I just started playing this game and as an avid metal listener, are Darrell and Cliff tributes or reference to who I think they are? Either that or it's me overthinking thing cause like Darrell plays Lead Guitar and Cliff play Bass lol
You know exactly who they're named after hehehe u.u
Oh this was such a treat to read. I don't know why I thought the writing drags on too much at the beginning. As soon as the rest of the gang introduced themselves, I was hooked. Literally everyone grew on me so quickly it's incredibly hard to pick favorites. Even April lmao
Loved every second of Chester's route and can't wait for more. <3
[spoiler alert]
But damn that part near the end ripped my rose tinted glasses clean off. Very excited to see where this goes.
wait- is the next build release(build 6) only in North America?
No. Everyone can download it. It'll just be released during the North American fall/autumn season.
Ive been streaming this Vn for the past couple of weeks and i am now up to episode 5 of Darrell's story line. And to say that im invested in his story would be an understatement. The writing of each character, the music, the attention to detail is just wonderful. Im glad i've come across this vn and I cant wait to play more in the future.
So the new episode for Darrell
I HATE YET LOVE IT SO MUCH. YOU CANT LESVE ME ON A CLIFF HANGER LIKE THIS, it’s going to killlll meeeeee
[Spoiler ahead]
the slow progression as there flirting picks up and they finally start hitting it off just for it all go to the dumpster. Are we going to tell darrell about Chester? Will he believe us or does his anger issues and all fuck it up. AHHHH I NEED TO KNOW. I’ve fallen for this story hook, line and sinker and I hate it. Keep up the good work you cheeky bastards!!! (Side note: not being rude I just hate cliff hangers and they left us on such a good one. The suspense is killing me. Can’t wait to see more!)
The end for Darrell's episode this update :( No my lion
Quick question, how long does it take for each episode/build to be released? If u dont mind me asking?
It usually takes 3-5 months. A lot of it depends on my schedule and what my day job demands of me.
That is indeed worth the wait, thank you for your wonderful work BowserPuma! Im looking forward for the next upcoming updates.
Already finished the latest build and im craving for more. I was really engaged with the vn and it literally feels like it was me in there. I felt really bad for Darrell and i thought there was more to it, but the episode just ended and it left me hanging. I rlly hope that build 7 will be released early...
Okay i don't even know where to start 😭 i played this in like one sitting because i got so engaged in the story. The characters feel so real, like i'm actually talking to them, they are so well written and conceptualized it's amazing. Tbh this game stroke in a time of my life where i have been feeling as alone as never i had before and, idk, i just empatized with MC so much, i just felt like damn... He is me lmfao. I love all the characters, they all have their own essence and then music! Omg the music. (Althought I actually didnt liked the Trent performance in the variety show as myself being a classical musician it was like what? It was still good ig). Tbh this helped me a lot, like on a personal level, i just needed to feel like i wasnt the only one with some struggles and it really made look things in a diferente way. Tbf, when the rest of the router are ready, i don't even know which one I'll choose, all the bachelors are like so good. 5/5 stars. Keep up the great work!
I wasn't sure if anyone wanted it since nobody streams on Android devices. But I can make a CCE version on Android with the next patch if people want it :3
Hey, over on Darrell’s route after he comes in and talks with Pat there seem to be a couple of places where MC’s default name is erroneously not replaced Love the big lion so far though!
It'll be fixed in the next patch. Probably dropping this weekend
Right?!
Can't wait for the build 6 and 7
Anyone who actually seriously works out doesn't look at the scene with Chester at the gym doing a one rep max without warm up and think impressive, they think idiot. Throwing your max weight around without warming up on that movement is just dumb.
ok
ok but cliff route when
oh also you should add a mode to remove the nsfw scenes because it’s a good story even without them and it would then appeal to a larger audience
Oh wait is that the content creator versions?
Content creator version removes the porn.
Hey everyone. Doing some last minute polishing. I plan on posting in the next few hours.
It's up :>
I caught up and doing Chester's route but boy what he did gave me a whole different view about him, can't wait for the next episode!
So I can't date the deer yet? I'm so heartbroken
Random fact: Here in Argentina we call Capybaras "Carpinchos"
I need the Trent route SO BAD he's so cute 😭😭
Is Trent getting a route? I understand if you want to keep it a secret because his sexuality isn't confirmed in-game yet but I desperately want a route for him
Trent route is planned for after Darrell and Chester routes are complete
I love Corey
Gordon Freeman from Falf-Life works on this game?!
Hello！I'm coming to ask if I can translate your work into Chinese.It will not be used for commercial purposes.Just to share your fantastic work with more furry-loving people.I'm looking forward to getting a reply from you whether you permit it or not.PLEASE！ヽ(｡･ω･｡)ﾉ
Hi! I support fan translations. So long as it's clearly labelled as an "unofficial fan translation", the translation is not posted on itch.io, and if the translation is not for sale.
OK,I'm really glad you agree,thanks！
如果有的話..是否分享載點，非常感謝!!
Well, I feel it's not quite right of me to call Chester's route frightening so early on but gosh that last interaction certainly makes me question whatever theories I've been tossing around. It'll be an interesting mystery to guess at for sure.
Just saw you on the schedule for AC... I'm looking forward to attending!
See you there! :>
woohoo. It’s time!
I miss eddy ):
hey Bowser Puma I don't want to keep bothering you I don't but I have a question do you have all male characters voice Acted meaning the ones you want voice acting because just wondering I really want to be a part of this visual novel somehow I know it's silly
All the roles are filled. I'll make an announcement when I'm holding open auditions for new voice roles.
When is the update coming ☺️
What species is Mariah Carey in this world?
Goat
In general really good vn so far.
For me personally the best looking protagonist ive seen. Yes i love chubby guys. Its says foxy protagonist tho i think he looks more like a racoon. But i really love how he looks :)
And please for the love of ... give dave a route i need it ! :D
Well i think there is a good amount of people which would like that too. He is soooo sweet and also handsome ^^.
Keep it up :)
Is there any Chinese translation?號
There are no official translations. You may be able to find machine translations online, but they are not official.
OK! Thanks for the reply.
Are Chester and Darrell the only currently available routes?
Yes 🐺🦁💖
I just started the chester route after the gay bar talk and all and i swear to god i feel so bad for dave right now, the man is too kind to be cheated on so chester better not be one please to god
dave is too precious there needs to be a route for him because i feel bad if chester is acutally cheating
This VN is so good with the characters, their relationship with each other and the overall plot of the routes and I finished the 4th build and I can't wait for the next one I hope it's soon ^u^
God this is the BEST slice of life creation ever!
