This visual novel is really great so far. I've only played Mark's and Hiro's routes, but I'm excited to play the others as well. I went into the game completely blind so a lot of stuff really shocked me. I'd say I prefer Marks's route with all the horror elements and all, but I definitely like Hiro more as a character.
I myself am a trans man, and Hiro being trans really shocked me, I was not expecting a trans male character at all. It made me really happy too, I think the way the author handled him was really great. The scene in the spring was wonderful, made me tear up a little.
That being said, there is one little nitpick I have. The story describes Hiro as having a male voice, and during the sex scene, he is shown with "bottom growth" which are all effects someone can only get after going on testosterone. But the story also describes Hiro as having female pheromones?? If you didn't know, which is fine, I think this is an honest mistake, but when a trans male goes on testosterone it changes his scent to be indistinguishable from a cis male. I know that it's a fox person and humans don't have pheromones but it doesn't make any sense that he would produce female pheromones on T. Testosterone acts as a blocker to female hormones like estrogen, or progesterone, the kind of fox testosterone he's on would also most likely block the female pheromones and he would produce male pheromones. Again this is probably a mistake, but that's not how trans male bodies work - trans man
But anyways great game, excited to play the other routes
tbh I think Hiro only had mastectomy, I think it isn't mentioned if he's on testosterone, and since it happens in the middle of 20 century I don't think it would be as easy as now to get hormones :P
edit: plus he lives in some kind of small village which would make testosterone even harder to get
Hi! I'm glad you enjoyed reading about Hiro. Without spoiling anything about the narrative, there is some general fuckery with what Grey is perceiving and the way these characters are portrayed. Hiro is a character who's taken many measures to be seen as male by his peers, so you can interpret his current state however you want. What was important was portraying a character who has found a way to express his sexuality without being ashamed. and for Grey to reciprocate. Hope that helped!
i'm really hoping that Kens route gets an update soon i'm super excited for it because i love colt and ken so much and am really interested in learning more about Ken :3
never really played many visual novels, especially not this type, but this is amazing I've only done the Gabe route so far but its been great. I can wait to see what happens next. that being said i only have one gripe with this and that's that i with the was a gallery feature hopefully the devs add it in in a future up date. (idk maybe there already is a gallery but i cant find it)
I think the author wrote on Twitter (X) around middle of September that they're halfway through writing next Ken update, so I think it should come out soon :3
This visual novel is real nice and definitely worth a playthrough! Though I do have one piece of feedback I'd like to know more about... spoilers of course.
It does come off rather insensitive when talking about suicide... could just be a personal gripe but having Grey joke about hanging himself at the first chance he'd get... furthermore having Simone punch him for trying to kill himself... again could just be a personal gripe. but in my experience suicidal people don't tend to joke about failed attempts, and it doesn't exactly... help to be gut punched for attempting.
Made my account to give this feedback so sorry for the rushed username. I've been trying to avoid social media like discord and twitter for personal reasons, but I wanted to hear how you respond to that critique.
My teacher told me that everyone has suicidal thoughts at one time or another. But because everyone's personality is different, the reactions are also different. Some people will turn it into a joke, and some people will keep it in their hearts.
The story is genuinely so fantastic; I haven't played all the routes just yet but have been completely absorbed by Gabe and Ken's stories so far.. I've honestly never been so invested in a vn
also the horror elements are always just enough without too much ! ahhh I could ramble for hours omfg
Great novel. I liked it quite a lot, especially Mark's route. You're doing a good work. Also, if you don't mind me asking. Which route are you planning to work on next?
Question, does this game have any foot/paw related nsfw scenes? Ive noticed its been like, hinted at by the art and by certain lines, but i havent encountered anything head on and ive been wondering a while
Wow... I absolutely LOVE where the story is going! :D Burrows has been excellent from the start, but with these last 2wo updates? Oh, man, I'm completely blown away! ^^_
Burrows reminds me sooo much of the old Silent Hill games. The vibe, the music, all'a it~ :p I can't say enough good things about this VN UwU
You have done a fantastic job, the Part 2 was so good I'd say Pt 1 was nice. Keep up the good work and have a great day. And also more Mark in the future.
Spoilers ahead I just reread. Ken and I really don't like that c o l t kissing Gray near the end of day two f o r k e n and don't get me wrong I know crazy things like that will happen in the novel but if anything I t h i n k it should have been k e n also sorry for the long post but I know it's because of the way Patron worked but I am surprised that t h e y have not been updated for a year it feels like I keep hoping for more for him but I see the others are further along
If I'm right, I think they're having some troubles with how renpy handles rendering some images in older graphic cards on windows. It happens with a lot of VNs and I suspect it has to do with WEBM format (absolutely not sure tho, only a guess). I usually start the game and hold SHIFT + G to open a config panel then change the renderer to Force ANGLE2. After that just need to restart the game.
It's been working just fine for any VNs with similar problems I played until now.
Thank you! you were correct Drys, now all the images are rendered correctly and the text is more straightforward. I apologize for not leaving any examples I took a few screenshots but couldn't post them because I don't know how.
Hi! I just picked up the game earlier this week and I'm in love! Everything about it is amazing! Do you plan on releasing any merch for the game? Or have any out already?

Okay cool. I apologize, I didn't mean to come off as nitpicky, I guess I was passionate because I really love his character, looking forward to more!
i'm really hoping that Kens route gets an update soon i'm super excited for it because i love colt and ken so much and am really interested in learning more about Ken :3
i agree
I think the author posted on twitter (X) on 17th of September that they're halfway through of Ken 3 so it should be updated soon

Im not good with names but the shark dude's route is super cute and wholesome, unlike that panther (he's a cute asshole 😭)

Hi I play the visual novel Is amazing i'll waiting for other version

When Takoda says "I always wanted to be the cowboy" is that a mitski reference please be honest
its a cowboys/indians thing since he's native, but if you want it to be Mitski it is!
Is there going to be a route with olleander?
I love the fact that im not the only one simping for the rabbit that's probably wants to kill me
Why? He's a sociopathic reality warper?
How can I get sex scene with Virgil?
I know there's one in Marks' route. I think there should have been a Virgil route. He's the hottest out of all of them! Go team Virgil!!!
Heck yeah! The author should've added Virgil route in this vn
That's just a dildo in his likeness.
The story is genuinely so fantastic; I haven't played all the routes just yet but have been completely absorbed by Gabe and Ken's stories so far.. I've honestly never been so invested in a vn
also the horror elements are always just enough without too much ! ahhh I could ramble for hours omfg
great vn. just wish you could skip alien interlopers on the pc version.
get good lol
Great novel. I liked it quite a lot, especially Mark's route. You're doing a good work.
Also, if you don't mind me asking. Which route are you planning to work on next?
Ohh... Mark... hope you haven't done what I *think* you've done
Question, does this game have any foot/paw related nsfw scenes? Ive noticed its been like, hinted at by the art and by certain lines, but i havent encountered anything head on and ive been wondering a while
is the game has nsfw?
the game indeed does has NSFW
Ollie my beloved.❤️
OMg yess i love him sm
Wow... I absolutely LOVE where the story is going! :D Burrows has been excellent from the start, but with these last 2wo updates? Oh, man, I'm completely blown away! ^^_

Slight spoilers👇
At first i had the theory that picking Mark over Simone could lead to a bad ending, but im not so sure about that now...
The horror element is my fav in this one. The segz scene also very hot.
You have done a fantastic job, the Part 2 was so good I'd say Pt 1 was nice. Keep up the good work and have a great day. And also more Mark in the future.
mark route is the most traumatizing so far
Spoilers ahead I just reread. Ken and I really don't like that c o l t kissing Gray near the end of day two f o r k e n and don't get me wrong I know crazy things like that will happen in the novel but if anything I t h i n k it should have been k e n also sorry for the long post but I know it's because of the way Patron worked but I am surprised that t h e y have not been updated for a year it feels like I keep hoping for more for him but I see the others are further along
is there a guide?
i liked this vn more than adastra nikko must be proud hh he really did a great job.
there's anyhow to update the specific part than download the whole game again?
I have a question when was the last time k e n was updated
His day 2 update was back in February 0.8
this VN is absolutely amazing! every CG hit me so hard 🙌 a serve
I notice a few CGs are cut and twisted.
Would you happen to know how I can fix them?
can you be more specific and show examples?
If I'm right, I think they're having some troubles with how renpy handles rendering some images in older graphic cards on windows. It happens with a lot of VNs and I suspect it has to do with WEBM format (absolutely not sure tho, only a guess).

glad to help! and I tried to put a screenshot with the config panel on my reply too and it didn't work so if you find out let me know haha
There were Literally parts that made me ask "WHAT IN GOD'S NAME-!?!?!"
Which routes have adult scenes so far?
Marks, Gabriels, and Hiros, I'm not entirely sure about Kens.
Ken’s has mostly suggestive stuff, nothing too explicit so far.
edit: SEX HAS BEEN ADDED!!!!!!!
I hope Ken is their variant of Ghost Rider!!!
Just started my first playthrough. The writing in this is impeccable. Congratulations on such a successful game!
So everyone just ignores the audio fragment from Marks route?? Like what's that about!!??
It doesn't affect the story. The game doesn't keep track of it
Still an enjoyable game to replay over, and over, and over again.
Can't wait to play more in the future :3
Hi! I just picked up the game earlier this week and I'm in love! Everything about it is amazing! Do you plan on releasing any merch for the game? Or have any out already?
They do have pins and cards

Thank you!
got around reading the side story about sam, the magnolia tree symbolism hits a bit hard.
I thought the update was for Ken's story,but that's okay to
