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
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.
I had no way of knowing they knew each other. It wasn't listed in the guys game description and I don't follow either of thier social media. How in gods name would I have figured out they knew each other?
Maybe perhaps, i don't know, simply ask? Politely? I mean, i hate people who steal other people jobs but if the developer is using content from another person, either he know that developer, he asked for permission or he stole it, and oh surprise you obviously have no way to know which one and simply assumed it.
Yeah but thats what happens when you try to do the right thing. People lose thier minds, and resort to petty insults, and attack you for it. Next time I see something suspicious happening I'm leaving it a alone its thier problem to figure it out.
Having no way of knowing it was sanctioned also means having no way of knowing it wasn't. Which also isn't true, because, you know, you could've used this amazing secret technique known as "asking." It's a far better approach than being a cop.
I know you're trying to apologize, but it doesn't seem like you understand that jumping to accusations was the problem, not you simply being factually wrong.
And that's forgetting the fact that it's very obviously a fan game.
When I posted the link i figured he would say why is that guy using my stuff or say something like it's okay I gave him permission. Something to that effect. It was my way of asking. But now thinking back. I should been a bit more straight forward. That was my mistake. Well what's done is done. All I can do is say sorry and that I'll be more careful next time something like this happens. That's all I can do.
Comments like these are the reason I stopped supporting this novel... though I admit, this is rather tame compared to the majority of his actions in his own server.
Hello, it is I, the plagiarist. I (and a few of Nikko's other friends) made this game as a gift for Nikko to celebrate the first anniversary of Burrows. It is not a copy, it is a fan game that uses the same characters, but takes place in a different universe. Nikko himself drew the thumbnail for the game, which is likely why they look so similar.
My apologies i thought it was somone stealing his work. Unfortunately that is not uncommon nowadays. I thought you were using it without his permission. I am sorry for the misunderstanding.
My thought process was I would be upset if somone used something I made without my permission I'd be upset but you had his permission. So it's okay, again sorry for the misunderstanding.
I'm in love with this game. And especially with Ken. I fugging love everything about this man, from his Personality with a big P, upto his story. But please, note for authors if they're gonna read this
So far i've played about 2.5/4 of the routes and I'M OBSESSED
Story can be a bit confusing but after a bit of rereading here and there it eventually makes sense (I'm just slow)
Was wondering if anyone knew what song was playing whenever Grey is near Virgil/In his bar? (The creepy jazz music that plays) Because in all honestly i could listen to it on repeat!!
Not sure actually, best thing is to ask around the game's official discord, it has a patreon-exclusive channel with all the OST tracks there. I believe that one was buried there somewhere too.
(mild spoilers??) I started playing this VN back in November last year but only finished all the routes + extras today and... woah dude this is quite literally the best VN I've ever played. Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time especially in Mark's route. I did not expect that turn in Gabe's route either I thought they were just gonna have cute scenes lmaoo. (Thorn is so cool?? I wanna be them so bad) The extra about Sam's death made me sob so hard too my poor babies :(( Pls keep up the great work (continuation of Ken's route PLEASE I'm begging on my knees) and the spicy scenes hehe :D (VIRGIL & CESAR SPICY SCENES WITH GREY PLSPLSPLSPLS) I'll be eagerly waiting for the updatessss
I think that Sam's soul reincarnated as Gabriel in his new life while also parts of his soul are owned by Virgil, this could be why Gabriel is a bit dumb dumb in the head.
Cause in my religious beliefs that the soul have three parts and six something, that if you loses even 1 parts of it you're mentality undeveloped something.
But anyway, Gabriel is very similar to Sam, his behaviours and stuffs. Also often times how Sam took over Gabriel identity for moment. And dues to what he said we knew Gabriel is possessed by Sam. But I just had a feeling it's more than just possession by different soul but it's the reincarnation of said soul itself.
What's the logic behind Grey unable to do push up?
Like dude looks well-defined with clear muscles but he struggles so much to do push up while have no trouble with curls?
Even I can do twenty despite being skinny arms with not a single muscle at the age of 15!!! Wtf Grey?! How'd you look mighty fine yet struggle with this!?!
This VN is fucking amazing, I just have two small problems with it. 1.- In Mark's route, when Simone and Grey crawl out of the sewers into New York, you can clearly see a modern car in the background, which is weird since they're supposed to be in the year 1965. 2.- In Gabriel's route, Grey says that Sam commited suicide when Grey was 13, but in the timeline it says that Grey was born in April 1903, but it also says that Sam commited suicide in September 1917, which would've made Grey 14 at the time Sam commited suicide. I'm sorry if what I'm saying doesn't really make a lot of sense, English is not my first language so I struggle to come up with the right words sometimes when speaking, especially in "long" texts like these, hope it helps though. : )
Oh shit! i did not see that coming! love mark, gabes and hiros story so far! I wont spoil anything an anyone that hasnt played the novel yet dont read any spoilers! to the author, thankyou this story has helped my depression in a strange way. Knowing someone was going through this. I can tell this was made from a real place or moment in time. Keep up the good work and hang in there <3
so, i always thought grey was a bit of a wuss. until last night, i had this nightmare with lanky virgil eating me alive. the only thing i could do was every now and then get a visual novel style choice selection to decide what body part he'd be taking next. it was so terrifying i was second guessing going back to sleep. that's very unusual to me, because i mostly only get mildly annoyed when i'm startled awake due to nightmares.
Good to see you again, Trinexx. I run into you everywhere lmao. Grey is an interesting case, in that I'd usually think he's a bit cowardly too, but nuanced and respectable enough as a person that I'm giving him a pass.
oh, i don't mean he is poorly characterized. it works for an horror narrative like this. there's just this disconnect from how he responds to things and how i feel from reading. that's normal, disagreeing with the protagonist is something i do a lot. what i really wanted to say is, i now understand just how fearsome virgil really could be and why grey feels so helpless against him.
I´m really enjoying reading this novel, the sprites of the characters are beautiful, the music too and the story is really good. I´m almost done reading every route, however I found something funny:
Spoiler alert:
On Gabe´s route, Grey doesn´t know what skinny-dipping means, however on Ken´s route he does.
I just wanted to let you know Nikko, thank you for writing such an amazing novel.

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.

I'm going to implode. Hiro my baby boy, and Mark my husband. Can't wait for more of them. :D
dude not every furry game is a copy of one another
It's a fan game you absolute buffoon
No need to be rude. I was just trying to inform if someone was using your stuff
Yeah you absolute buffoon he was just trying to inform you that a fan game you very obviously have connections to was using your stuff
I had no way of knowing they knew each other. It wasn't listed in the guys game description and I don't follow either of thier social media. How in gods name would I have figured out they knew each other?
Maybe perhaps, i don't know, simply ask? Politely?

I don't know why everyone is being an asshole, you were just trying to help.
Yeah but thats what happens when you try to do the right thing. People lose thier minds, and resort to petty insults, and attack you for it. Next time I see something suspicious happening I'm leaving it a alone its thier problem to figure it out.
The guy didn't say he knew Nikko in the game description. I had no way of knowing Nikko had given him permission to make a fan game for him.
Having no way of knowing it was sanctioned also means having no way of knowing it wasn't. Which also isn't true, because, you know, you could've used this amazing secret technique known as "asking." It's a far better approach than being a cop.

I love this VN, amazing writing.
I just want to hug ken

Nikko-sama!!!
Is Gabriel Sam's reincarnation?
I think that Sam's soul reincarnated as Gabriel in his new life while also parts of his soul are owned by Virgil, this could be why Gabriel is a bit dumb dumb in the head.
Cause in my religious beliefs that the soul have three parts and six something, that if you loses even 1 parts of it you're mentality undeveloped something.

Spinal damage mayhaps.
no way, bro just confessed he's fifteen under 18+ VN :O
Sadly that’s rather common, wish there were better restrictions to prevent horny teenagers from getting this kind of content.
Screaming, sobbing and crying rn
This VN is fucking amazing, I just have two small problems with it.
1.- In Mark's route, when Simone and Grey crawl out of the sewers into New York, you can clearly see a modern car in the background, which is weird since they're supposed to be in the year 1965.
2.- In Gabriel's route, Grey says that Sam commited suicide when Grey was 13, but in the timeline it says that Grey was born in April 1903, but it also says that Sam commited suicide in September 1917, which would've made Grey 14 at the time Sam commited suicide.

I'm in love with this VN, thank you for saving my life
I'M IN LOVE WITH THAT CUTE SHARK
I am BEGGING you to show my boy Hiro some love
I think Mark might be my favorite
Ken got the personality & comedy, Mark got everything else 👌👍
i used to simp for mark before i read the extra story now i kinda have no idea about his persona
Ranked Ken/Mark, Gabe, Hiro
When is next Ken update? Its getting juicy and I'm at the to be continued. I'm dying to see what happens next its getting so juicy.
To be honest this game surprised me but I really love them all which route do you guys like the most.
So far Ken but I've only finished his and Gabriel's. I need to play the other routes.
Oh shit! i did not see that coming! love mark, gabes and hiros story so far! I wont spoil anything an anyone that hasnt played the novel yet dont read any spoilers! to the author, thankyou this story has helped my depression in a strange way. Knowing someone was going through this. I can tell this was made from a real place or moment in time. Keep up the good work and hang in there <3
I'm addicted to the song ''My Moment To Shine'' help
I wish more modern bands implemented classical instruments like that...
Ah yes, children suffering. My favorite subject.
I can't wait for the next Hiro update!
there is a Burrows FanWiki page
https://burrows.fandom.com/wiki/Burrows_VN_Community_Wiki
it really could use some love
so, i always thought grey was a bit of a wuss. until last night, i had this nightmare with lanky virgil eating me alive. the only thing i could do was every now and then get a visual novel style choice selection to decide what body part he'd be taking next. it was so terrifying i was second guessing going back to sleep. that's very unusual to me, because i mostly only get mildly annoyed when i'm startled awake due to nightmares.
Good to see you again, Trinexx. I run into you everywhere lmao. Grey is an interesting case, in that I'd usually think he's a bit cowardly too, but nuanced and respectable enough as a person that I'm giving him a pass.

wait what version is android release on?
damn leave it to nikko to make a really good vn with even better nsfw content truly an amazing vn thus far
I´m really enjoying reading this novel, the sprites of the characters are beautiful, the music too and the story is really good. I´m almost done reading every route, however I found something funny:
Spoiler alert:
On Gabe´s route, Grey doesn´t know what skinny-dipping means, however on Ken´s route he does.
I just wanted to let you know Nikko, thank you for writing such an amazing novel.
