I haven't been able to unlock the 3rd and 5th CG on Mark's page 8 also
I think it's a glitch
I surmised that these CGs are: Mark and Grey kissing in the elevator, and Mark giving Grey a blowjob (bloody version where you failed the time event during the monster attack)
I found 3rd CG on page 8, it finally worked when you pick "go see mark" while talking with Simone, and I skipped exploring the room, and as last choice while running from monster choose "Let him take over"
Forewarning: English isn't my first language, so I might make some spelling/grammar mistakes in English.
Very mild spoilers ahead, but its mainly about grammar.
It's nothing big, but I noticed a slight grammatical error in the beginning of Hiro's route. When the two unnamed german scientits speak, they say "Ha-ha! Hoffentlich er nicht explodiert wieder vor meinem gesicht", which gets the meaning across, but the proper way to say that would be to switch "explodiert" and "er nicht", to make the sentence "Ha-ha! Hoffentlich explodiert er nicht wieder vor meinem gesicht". The difference being the first one is a word for word literal translation, and the second one being adjusted for German grammar, as German grammar writes the verb before the subject. ill update this comment as I progress through his story with other German grammar errors.
Error 2: When Hiro says "Wenn Sie nicht gehen, ich werfe Sie raus". while the sentence is technically correct (for the most part, the same error of subject-verb switching happened at the end again), it translates to "When you don't go, ill Throw you out", which I guess could be the desired meaning, but I think its more common to say "If you don't go, ill Throw you out", which would be better communicated if he said something like "Falls Sie nich gehen, werfe ich Sie raus"
Error 3: When Hiro says "Mist! I-Ich Entschuldigung". This is once again a direct, word for word translation, which doesn't quite work the same in german. in German you don't say "im sorry"(at least not like that, the best way to say that would be "tut mir leid", which translates more to "causes me suffering"). you could say "sorry", or "sorry for me", which translate to "Entschuldigung" and "Entschuldigen Sie mich". the proper way to say what hes trying to say in this context would be either "Mist! Entschuldigung!", or "Mist! Tut mir leid". Either one would work fine in this context.
Error 4: When Hiro says "Was verdammt Sie machen hier, Herr Ratte?", which I assume is meant to translate to "What the fuck are you doing here, Mr. Rat?". outside of the same "subject-to-verb switching" error, the only other one would be that verdammt isnt used like that, a better substitution would be "um Teufels willen", which is a much more common phrase, meant to mean "by Devils will", similar to "um Gottes willen", which meant "by Gods will" (similar to the english phrases "what in gods name"). A better way to say what Hiro said would then be "Was, um (Teufels/Gottes) willen machen Sie hier, Herr Ratte?"
Error 5: When Hiro says "Ich muss sein negativ geladen. Wenn ich Kabel berühre, Kurzschluss den ganze Motor", which would be as if you said "I charged negatively must be. when I touch cables, short circuits the entire motor". Germans do a similar thing with descriptors, where the descriptors go before the noun. Anyways, the correct way to say the first sentence would be to say "Ich muss negativ geladen sein". The second one is a bit more tricky, as it does make sense, but isnt optimal. Theres two waiys to say that when he touches cabl;es, the motor short-circuits, Nr. 1 being "Wenn ich Kabel berühre, Kurzschluss ich den ganzen motor", which implies its his action to short cuircut the motors, and Nr. 2, "Wenn ich Kabel berühre, Kurzschlusst der ganze Motor", which would imply that it just kinda happens without his intention. id reccomend Nr. 2, giving us a final phrase of "Ich muss negativ geladen sein. Wenn ich Kabel berühre, Kurzschlusst der ganze Motor"
Error 6: When Hiro says "Auch wenn ich umdrehe Ladung, Kabel hat noch Elektrizität. Sie sind positiv geladen, Sie keiegen Schock nächster". The same mistake of putting the noun second is present in the first sentence, the sentence should be "Auch wenn ich die Ladung umdrehe, das Kabel hat noch Elektrizität". the second sentence is perfectly fine as far as i can tell, so the complete sentence would be "Auch wenn ich die Ladung umdrehe, das Kabel hat noch Elektrizität. Sie sind positiv geladen, Sie keiegen Schock nächster".
Error 7: When the Worker says "Der Chef sollte halt nicht versuchen, uns durch welche von seiner Art zu unterbieten". To be completely honest, I couldnt understand the second part of the sentence at all, and had to use google translate to understand it. Apparently its meant to mean that "The boss should not try to undercut us with some of his kind", which would be much better written by writing "Der Chef sollte halt nicht versuchen, uns durch seine sorte zu ersetzen".
That's all the ones I could find so far. I'm realizing now it might well just be a writing style choice to have Hiro make mistakes in German, but this doesn't feel like the type of mistakes someone would intentionally write into a characters speech. if I'm wrong, please let me know!
Hello! The choices to make hiro's German stilted/awkward were intentional. Not sure about the worker's speech, I had a few german speakers look at it and they helped make it sound antiquated.
Alrighty! Fantastic attention to detail in that case! There's also a solid chance that anything from the Workers that I marked as an "Error" could just be due to the difference in time period, or maybe even my own misunderstanding.
Burrows is so freaky and cathartic. I feel like whatever chapter comes next for these characters (that i've come to love so much, oh man) will knock the air out of my lungs while this gorgeous soundtrack is playing and I'm left speechless waiting for it to loop...
This is like in my top 5 VNs I've ever read and I can't wait for more. This VN has been a hyperfixation for me among a few others and it's scared the absolute crap out of me a few times xd
😭 this VN is good damn but I'm too afraid to continue since I'm the type that gets too Immersed in the story. Are you with echo project? It's givin me skizo vibe. At this point i have trauma everytime i remember anchors.
Omg this game is SO GOOD I just finished Gabe's route and I LOVED it. This game managed to keep me entertained 100% of the time, and I was genuinely scared at some parts. The haunted house part genuinely made me uncomfortable due to the sensitive topics, and I can't remember the last time a VN made me feel that way.
Started off by playing Ken's route and it wasn't long before I fell in love with Colt and started ghosting Ken for the rub club duo. They're such good boys!
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)
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!
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 :(
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. :/
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!
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 ^^

Could someone please tell me how to unlock 3rd CG on 8th page of Mark's Route in Gallery?
I haven't been able to unlock the 3rd and 5th CG on Mark's page 8 also
I think it's a glitch
I surmised that these CGs are: Mark and Grey kissing in the elevator, and Mark giving Grey a blowjob (bloody version where you failed the time event during the monster attack)
to unlock the 5th CG on 8th page you have to pick Virgil toy while Grey is jerking off and pick to go see Mark while talking with Simone
it worked, thanks; you don't happen to also know how to get fragment 39? is the only one I'm missing
You're welcome; unfortunately I have no idea, it's the only one I'm missing too :[
I found 3rd CG on page 8, it finally worked when you pick "go see mark" while talking with Simone, and I skipped exploring the room, and as last choice while running from monster choose "Let him take over"
it worked thanks
you're welcome!! <3
i'm also missing CGs 1 and 2 from Ken's page 8, do you know where they are?
when you're playing strip poker with Colt and Jessie, you have to make Jessie lose, so he's the one who strips
thank you so much, if you wouldn't mind, do you know where I can find the following CGs from Hiro's route:
CG 6 page 10
CGs 1, 2, 3, and 4 page 11 (I believe these 5 CGs are a sex scene with Atri, I had triggered it once but can't figure out how to do it again)
CGs 5 and 6 page 12
all CGs from page 13
CG 1 page 14 (probably another whole scene I can't find)
CG 3 page 15

There is something very peculiar about this work
am i the only one doing all the routes at the same time bc of the great storywriting?
It wrapped me up, grabbed me and is now one of my favorites, especially Gabe. He is so cute. Mark has his charm and Ken...God, he's so sexy.
A masterpiece. I love Mark so much.
He's like the lover that I always dreaming of. I just want to be with him forever.
YES! He is literally perfect.
Falling for all the characters x_x
Hiro and Ken are my favorites
Burrows is so freaky and cathartic. I feel like whatever chapter comes next for these characters (that i've come to love so much, oh man) will knock the air out of my lungs while this gorgeous soundtrack is playing and I'm left speechless waiting for it to loop...
Please give it a try!
This is like in my top 5 VNs I've ever read and I can't wait for more. This VN has been a hyperfixation for me among a few others and it's scared the absolute crap out of me a few times xd
Join the hivemind
I'm already a part of it! Hell yeah hivemind >:3
Beautiful, lowkey would love more foot stuff
Edit: Plus side art like Ollie and the Bird bartender in the 50's
ReEdit: 10/10 Art tbh, ain't a character I wouldn't (cept the Gator)
tf you mean "more"??
So far its just Mark (even the coach said so in the Fools Update) 😂
Gyat Simone
😭 this VN is good damn but I'm too afraid to continue since I'm the type that gets too Immersed in the story. Are you with echo project? It's givin me skizo vibe. At this point i have trauma everytime i remember anchors.
Is the game also in Spanish or will there be an option in the future to read it in Spanish?
What's new on this update?
read the devlog
Oh right, my bad. Just wanted to say that my mark route save file is corrupted after I update the game
Omg this game is SO GOOD I just finished Gabe's route and I LOVED it. This game managed to keep me entertained 100% of the time, and I was genuinely scared at some parts. The haunted house part genuinely made me uncomfortable due to the sensitive topics, and I can't remember the last time a VN made me feel that way.
Started off by playing Ken's route and it wasn't long before I fell in love with Colt and started ghosting Ken for the rub club duo. They're such good boys!
This game makes me feel like I'm dreaming and not playing.
oh, wow, this game is marked as adult, must have a lot of blood and gore, let me check
Q: How explicit does this game get?
A: Yes
how do I get fragment 39?

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
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 ❤️
