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:

Best Visual Novel ever if I didn't stop typing I'd be writing paragraphs so here's some bullet points for anyone looking to pick it up
- Amazing soundtrack
- Amazing artwork and unique anthro character designs (Fucking love our MC being a possum)
- Well written characters
- Entertaining and engaging plot that made me not sleep because I was too hooked onto the current playthrough I was reading
- 10/10
I stan the "not gay" panther bike boi
any one knows if you choose one option, this can change the story or is the same, don't matter what you choose?
Question what happened with the Android version
GOSTEI DEMAIS UMA DAS MELHORES FVN Q EU JA LI
I just wanted to ask, does anybody know the music that plays when you're in the Golden Place, I have been looking for a while and I cannot find it. (I accidentally posted this in the dev log)
I believe the name is Childhood Memories for that one
Tysm
Thanks, I was also wondering that. Searched google and youtube but couldn't find anything. Finally found the soundtrack at their official ost website.
Just read this recently because a friend did recommend to me, picked a route (Ken) and I'm in love with the writing already! The story keeps me engaged and I can't wait to try the other route. Really can't wait for Ken's story update!
I'm sorry..??? What did I do to make you traumatized me so much?? 😔
i get ya man, but it's all part of the fun
Gabes route ending really fucking shook me, but i gotta say, i adore this game
Backrooms monster Virgil scares me lamo
I found it terrifyingly cool lol
game is beyond amazing :3333 im going to binge read all of it in like a week lmao. and Hiro personally big fav
Genuinely one of the best vns out there, if not the best. I've never read a more heart wrenching toxic relationship where you as a reader feel trapped between the morality of both parties involved. In short I loved mark's update a lot xoxo ❤️
Come on, this is not a light spoiler!! I know it happens not too far in his route but... PLZ edit this and add some line breaks + a warning for newer fans :(
Yeah, you're right sorry
One of the best VNs I've read yet! I really like all of the main characters (yes, even Ken) and they have so much depth to them. I like the writing balance of disturbing themes and comedic moments, helps keep the stories engaging and grounded. Of course, from the sexy times to the darker imagery, Nikko's art is fantastic all the way through. Overall, this is a great VN, y'all did a great job and I can't wait for future updates!
Side note (MILD SPOILERS):
Really loved how accurate y'all portrayed 80's Los Angeles. As a native Angeleno who grew up in that exact type of environment, I really appreciate the fact that y'all did your homework.
the best visual novel ive ever read. Its disturbing. I am really confused about if they escape the game, if theyre all dead, JUST SO MANY QUESTIONS. I followed the Ken story, and it sadly ended with a 'to be continued' ending screen. Hopefully someone figures this game out cuz i cant. :/
New update?! Let's goooo! ~

Eu mal já posso esperar para próxima atualização, eu tô viciado nesse jogo. Eu adorei os personagens da qualidade a história e uma maravilha. Vai chegar mais produtos Burrows? Eu tô doido e queria um Plushie do Mark ou do Ken, que fofos!
Help I'm deeply in love with Ken
Damn. I downloaded this game today and I'm already hooked on the story and characters! I'm currently doing the Ken Storyline and I love how emotional but also hot it is at times. I've always found your artstyle to be one of the best but also the quality of this game is amazing. The sounds in the background are done really well and let's you dive deeper into the game. When I have reached a certain point in a game, where I get kinda depressed and really emotional for the game or the characters not being real, that's when you've made a really incredible game!!! Big applause to you, my friend. Keep up the great work ^^
I have a question, in the future is there a possibility of getting more burrows merch ? I personally would love to have a plushie of mark or ken!
I hope so! I bought the card + pins set late last year. Love them to death.
Ken!! We want Ken and Mark route to continue, but more specifically Ken's. The game is really good, I loved it, but I have to admit I went crazy when "continue" appeared in Ken route.
ken.
Ken!!!🔥😎
I'm going to throw myself off a cliff
I'm loving this game so far! I just finished Ken's current route, haven't tried the other threes yet. But this game is so good! I can't wait for more for Ken's route!
So um... yeah, this game was amazing! Probably the best I've played in a long time (Including the copious amounts of copy and paste studio games). And if you're sensing a but, you'd be right. This game had some of the greatest story telling I've seen, and that's why I have a "but".
(Just know that I'm not saying I didn't know about all the content warnings going into it. I thought I was used to it, but I was in fact... not...)
Simply put, the writing was too good. To the point it brought back some stuff that was not so fun revisiting. (Played Gabes route btw, because he's far too precious for words)
Usually it's fun seeing yourself in some of the characters, and I never had a problem with other games depictions of "you know what". But seeing myself in these characters was a mistake, and it hit hard when I reached the end. (I'm still surprised at how visceral it got!?? It either came from experience, which I really hope not, but sorry if that's the case. OR, you did EXTENSIVE research on it, cause you nailed it to a worrisome degree.)
I can't wait to see more, even with the whole resurfaced trauma and stuff. In fact, it's the fact that it was even able to accomplish that that makes me more. It's scary good, and I'm hopefully ready to try the other routes.
okay finished all 4 routes and i could cry for few hours just beacuse of how beautifull and unique each of them were (my fav were mark and gabe suprisingly) so yeah i recommend this game a lot
doing all routes currently finished hiro nd ken and doing gab rn
Love this game. extremely good story
Update, I have played all of the routes and the bonus content and god damn what an amazing story so far
YOU! I CANNOT BELIEVE I FELL FOR YOUR TRAP. YOU ARE A SICK, YET HILARIOUS INDIVIDUAL AND I HATE IT.
Just finished Hiro's route. Dayum. I love this concept so much. Very unique. Awesome dialogue. Just started doing Gabe's route and I'm already excited.
wanna give a quick thank you to everyone whose been part of the great work, I enjoyed every parts of it and dying for more!!!

(Im going to review in the replies :3)
I'm going to implode. Hiro my baby boy, and Mark my husband. Can't wait for more of them. :D
