Shelter (Furry Visual Novel)

I love this game so much, for me it doesn't even feel like a game. I play these for fantasy shit not a reality check every f*cking ending, Barkest corner, hell even the horny ah choices here makes me want to cry. 

And paired with PURRFECT music timing it makes me weep, more. for context I have 100+ hours of this game and I made an acc specifically for a review. Music makes this game better. slap on some sad shit like "some where we used to know" and i WILL be crying. This song was the one that made me push to make a review, I was listening to some pop and joyey music then when Luke spoke with burry after the meltdown, this plays and it was my first "sad" music pull I got after hours of pop. And that was my first time playing trough the game.

I'd rather get plowed than play this "medieval fantasy" game again. If this was in AO3 i would've gave this a kudos but it isn't so-

I give it a 10/10 great game, would cry again.

I have never thought a furry visual novel tagged with nsfw could make me cry but here we are

Is this gay or we have female mc option :(

这个游戏以后会不会有中文QW

is there somewhere to listen to this games OST? the music is absolute gold.

ok i have semester finals in the morning and this question is eating me up so ill just ask instead of finding it 

WHAT DOES LUKE MEAN WHEN HE SAYS TO ALON HE WILL MAKE HIM TALK AT THE ENDING OF THE GAME 

is there a way to actually do this or is it in future update pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee i need to knowm

How do I successfully do pack mentality during Rune’s training session? I’ve already done Burry’s afternoon hangout where I remember mana control twice. Similarly, how do I survive the duel with Teak? I’ve gone through Rune & Burry’s route twice now and Max’s once.

Great update but sometimes The text is extremly hard to see with The new text design for instance in The baths otherwise 10 out of 10 

Now i just have to fugure the Rune Chess Maze 😭

Will teak get a spicy scene with the human?

Do i need to finish all the routes first to unlock more stuff like cgs and all that nsfw? Cause I’ve only done rune and all i got from him was his masturbation.

// Spoilers ahead:

Finally finished the game! The experience was unexpectedly great! I'd give it a 4/5. The cutest character is definitely Alon! Among the three routes, I feel the Rune route was the best crafted. The storyline for Rune is exceptionally well done, starting with the tragic scene of Rune's childhood, which instantly drew me in. The flashback during the fight with the "monster," where Rune recalls his father's words... was just so powerful.

The Max route, on the other hand, perfectly complements the overall plot. For instance, right after finishing Rune's route, I thought... although it was amazing, maybe the story’s setting was a bit too romanticized? Shelter is now free and becomes a sort of Eden? But after playing Max's route, I realized that wasn’t the case at all. Rune is a competent hero who carefully balances everything in the chaos.

However, I do have some small complaints... about Max's route. I was initially drawn to the game for Max, but in the end, his route seemed more about unraveling the story. Even though it's the longest route, Max himself doesn’t dominate most of it. He remained a bit too calm throughout, and his growth and changes were more seen from a third-person perspective, with very little direct expression from the character himself. Could this be related to Max’s personality? Acri’s existence was completely erased, with all of Acri's past automatically transferred to Max, and he was the only one aware of everything. Then he quietly bore the weight of it all, taking over Acri's role in the shelter and carrying the burden of a tragic history. He even ended up comforting Luke, who had forgotten everything. His rare outbursts were just a few complaints in the afternoon. There seemed to be too few descriptions of how he viewed and came to terms with all of this.

Another thing is the relationship between Acri and Max. There were too few perspectives from Max’s point of view. I understand Acri’s thoughts throughout the entire story very well, but Max’s thoughts... yes, they were written, but compared to Acri’s development in the same route, it felt like there was less focus on Max.

And then there's Shagbark... It seems like they don't appear in the other routes or during the daytime, right? Are they... usually staying in the shelter as well? Or did Max summon them back urgently after the disaster struck? If they were usually in the shelter, why didn’t we see them during the day? This is a big contrast with the other route NPCs...His views are so similar to Teak’s; if he had been there, maybe he could have guided Teak? Based on the daytime descriptions, I initially thought the person who attacked Max and Acri before was Teak. But it turned out to be Shagbark, which felt like it came out of nowhere...

 Damn, I think I just realized something while writing this! Could it be that Shagbark is the result of history “correcting itself” after Teak “disappeared”?! Teak vanished, so Shagbark appeared?!Even though Luke allowed Max to retain his memories of Acri, he didn’t preserve the memories related to Teak. Everything was replaced by Shagbark. And the final event with the cable wasn’t transferred to Shagbark because of Alon’s knife—Alon and his belongings have the ability to escape history’s corrections. Is that what happened?!

This game has some BRILLIANT writing, congratulations Raus!! 

At first I was hesitant to give it a try because of the characters sprites, the resemblance to real dogs made they uncanny and uncomfortable to look at. Despite this, after some more time looking for VNs I decided to give it a try, and I was blown right away. The introduction to this game is SO good, it will get you hooked and excited. 

The writing has so much charisma that I completely got over the characters sprites and started to actually like them. The way the pieces are laid through the story is perfect, each piece comes at their own time, naturally setting a comfortable pace in the writing and making the important bits pass unannounced, making big reveals more impactful, because the signals were there but you just didn't notice. It makes the game always entertaining to read, it makes you curious to understand some actions and statements, excited over interactions that are happening or may happen ahead, it makes you connect to the main characters sharing his feelings.

There so much more praise Id like to give and even more that this game deserves, but Im not that good with words yet, still I'd like to appreciate all the effort that went into this piece and thank Raus for giving us this fantastic novel.

I'm really liking Shelter but how did Alon know I put 6969 as the code XD?

OH MY GOD, i just got the "shelter" pun. I'm so stupid.

Question, when the good ending for Skies Ablaze comes out, what will happen next? I mean, are we going to experience what would be "normal" days at Shelter, explore, see more places, play more minigames, interact more with all the dogs in a non-fatal situation or festive event, unlock more things and functions of Shelter, etc.

Hi guys, does anyone know where you can download music and ambient music from the game to your phone?

I really enjoyed time spent with Copper even if it short amount of time we get to know him, best dog in my mind the coolest and kindest (latter Burry then Rune, Max just a friend)
