After leaving behind his former life in 1920's New Orleans, a jaded possum named Grey finds himself thrown into an unending nightmare by the enigmatic bartender, Virgil. Lost in a churning sea of souls, Grey comes across a group of men somehow connected to his former home, a plantation replete with it's own dark history. Just as quickly as they find each other they're suddenly taken away, leaving Grey only one option:

Hiro looks to be transgender since he had his chest surgery and Grey commented on his wide hips.
I dont know why no one saying this but music is AMAZING. Theme in the contrusction stasion is so good
ok ive decided to only play this game at night, i tried playing during morning right now but i feel as if the creepy vibes + everything else just comes off so much more better at night.
Every update just makes me want more! More! AHHH!! MORE!!!
This game has some crazy moments, and I love it!
why not Hiro .-.
I once thought the same about Cliff in the smoke room, but now his story line is my favorite of the four... I think the down votes are more for the fact that the authors of these stories work so hard to entertain us and no one wants to see anything that might disparage them from doing so.
Well this comment thread has at least one dick in it. Unfortunately, it's you.
i dont know what the fuck i was getting into, but it wasnt fucking this. i made it to the first major choice i had to make, and i legitimately did not want to choose. In the course of about an hour this made me feel anxiety, terrified me, and even tear up. bad choice to decide to play when i was about to sleep, cause now i ain't sleeping. dont know what you did, but please keep it up
I wonder if we'll get a Halloween update for the next public release. Really looking forward to reading more!
I absolutely LOVE this vn, keep doing amazing work Nikko <3
This game have a higher hate against italians? Or i imagine stuff?
First Mark route with cappuccino shitlike, and then Gabriel with ww2 call italians koopa jokes
i don't think he's trying to personally hate on Italians...
You do have to consider the discrimination and bias that was more evident in past decades, so he's probably trying to be more historically accurate.
I am literally italian lmao
Thanks for clarifying, sorry if i misunderstood. I played days ago enjoyed the game but was a little sceptical, and you're right our/italy past and performance wasn't so good and today can be bad too.. Searching now i seeing you're Rosato creator comic artwork lol. My bad 3:
Did Kens route and lord have mercy, yall make a good story. His route made me me freaking shiver. It is so goooddd so far
OK, i'm doing marks route and im seeing a pattern here. I didn't realize how DARK dark this could get LOL
Will there be a virgil route? cause omfgg please
CHUG OMFG THE HIMBO CUTIE DX I LOVE HIM!
I started on the latest release (currently) and I wanted to know when the next update comes out will I be able to transfer save files or will I have to restart my routes?
You won't have to restart to access old save files after route selection.
Is there no Yasahiro route? Or has it just not been released yet?
its coming soon!
WOOOOOOOO
Honestly, since the first day of October, I always check this site every single day, looking for a new update...
Bro Gabe's route just feels like my life I fuckin love this vn
Just did Gabe's route, and damn I love him so much
Sorry but which one?
God dude I love this VN I've only done marks route but I love it so much
Love this game so much but can you please make more save files ?
I believe once you go past the normal 10 pages it will go further, but ideally people tend to overwrite old saves with new ones so you shouldn't need more than a few pages ma
oh ok thanks I didn't know about that. And again I really love this VN so much I found out about this VN from Blaidd it's thanks to him I was able to find this great VN. Please keep up the great work 😁👍
how do you delete saves? i was wanting to move them around to make space to keep saves for each character separate but i don't see a way to delete the old ones after doing that. only way to save over it?
Scroll over to the save with your mouse and hit the Del button. It should ask if you wish to delete the save. Note: this is for windows. I'm not sure how on other devices, I've only got a windows computer.
ok works. now i wonder if you even can on phone now
I haven't completed Mark's route yet, as he's being covered by a YouTuber I'm watching, but Ken and Gabriel's routes were very good. I'm excited for the next updates, and I'll check out the side stories once the youtuber finishes what's there of Mark's route cause I'm pretty sure he'll be involved from what I accidentally caught from the not-so-well-hidden spoilers below.
who is this YouTuber?
i'm always in search of a new FVN LP
Blaidd Llwyd
oh i watch him vivian jade, drakewinggaming, fallenwolf. depends who done video and game. blaidd is good for these kind of games but seems to be slower to do videos. vivian is good if you can get past some of the humor and stuff. drakewinggaming good but videos kinda short to me and stops at odd times because uses timer and stops after that. since you asked him thought you would like to know some i follow i guess.
Just 'finished' 'all' routes of Burrows. I'm glad that this VN has completely different story in each routes. I often get too attached to a routes on every VNs, to the point I can't take another routes. I'll wait patiently the last main love-interest in public release. When and where Grey will be dropped in this new route? How's the look of his card?
Note: I think, I found a plot hole in Ken's route. There is no conversation about the current year in his route. They only talked about Ken's age and it suddenly jotted in the timeline. Isn't supposed Grey didn't know what time is his in when we choose Ken's route yet, right?
i don't think the timeline only shows what Grey knows
making the math with Ken's age and DoB shows that Ken's route is on 1958
Well, you have a point. It's help me to know when is Ken route happens. Even with those clues (Ken's age and DoB shows that you mentioned), I don't know what time is Grey in. I don't have any ideas what America looks like on 1958.
! some spoilers !
Mark my man what in the crazy ass bitch omg, since the beginning Mark looked like he had some shady things goin on, the way he spoke and openess to someone that could be easely manipulated got me worried really quick and oh damn It was worse than I thouth. I'm loving the characthers and the way the story is being told aside from the CRAZY good art of Nikko. Really one of the best VN's :D
slight spoilers
wow. now i trust mark even less, at this point im definitely convinced that the option of choosing mark over simone is going to lead to a bad ending
First time i get genuiely TERRIFIED by a visual novel, it's incredible. The side story of mark, my god, i'm traumatized xD
Can't wait to see more :)
Slight spoilers
Bruh, I'm so confused on how I should feel about these characters. We are 6 builds in and 2 of the love intrest have either have or may have done some shit you'd expect from a villan. At this point I'm half expecting gabe to do some heinous diabolical shit.
Good job
Well, I'm expecting him to snap.
AHH! That side chapter was traumatizing!
more... More.... MORE!!!
i have to say im absolutely in love with this game, the characters are so likable, and geeze when things get creepy it really does its job! i can't wait for the new updates, you did an amazing job with this game!
do i have to redownload this to access the updates? lmao i never liked a itch.io game enough to come back for updates, so im unsure
Yes, and depending on how you install the mobile version, you may lose your save files.
Definitely a 5 star game
The way the mouse controls the space whatsits game it's more like the arcade machine is using one of those balls instead of a stick.
Then again did they have the balls back then or were those from the 90s?
Hello there Captain Nikko, how are you? If you can have time for this, don't you mind helping me out here with some advice for some issue I have here. Well, my problem is that I want to play Burrows on Android & I already started uploading it, but, just like some other game on Itch.io that caught my attention, the uploading abruptly stopped with a "Forbidden" sign on top of my smartphone... Idk if it's because of the regional differences or my Xiaomi don't having enough memory for this game. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
https://itch.io/t/1116386/forbidden-downloads
this is all we could find regarding that error, hope it helps!
Thanks for an advice, but still the same - forbidden download of a Mobile version. And the worst thing is, I can't even find that file on my Downloaded Files list on Google/Chrome (where all the information about downloads are stored). Oh well, let's see how the PC version would work out
I ran diagnostics a while back, searching for why the download becomes forbidden at times. It's sometimes a mixture of internet connection issues and your browser losing background process priority during sleep/when it's locked, sometimes both.
Find an ideal time to download your game (mine in particular is midnight to early morning), make sure you enable the option to prevent your phone from sleeping or never locked if it's charging and never change to another application while downloading.
Addendum: It is also possible for the PC version to run into the Forbidden error as well, albeit rarely but it just truly depends on the device's processing power (CPU).
Whoo Android Version!!!! when i First see This its Only Windows, macOS And Linux
for anyone that may be interested in such a thing, there is a Burrows's PDB page https://www.personality-database.com/profile?pid=2&cid=11&sub_cat_id=29851
Must. Protect. Gabe.
I wasn't sure at first but I gave it a go and I'm hooked with the very compelling story. I have so far played Ken ang Gabriel routes and I'll soon play Mark's route. Keep up the good work!😃
waiting patiently for the day Hiro gets an update
I would like to ask about something to Captain Nikko, it's about age. Okay so I noticed that Grey told the others that he is 25 y.o. Then I do the counting, he was born 1903 and meet Virgil in 1928, so that's mean Grey is 30, why 25? Is he trying to hide about his age because he know that he is older than them?
And I literally shock lol when I do the counting for Gabriel's route. Grey meet Gabriel in 1987 so that means Grey is 84 y.o (30 y.o in real timeline (1928)). I was like wtf 84?😆🤣
1903 + 25 = 1928
Oof I'm the one who is wrong X3
new update? best day ever
