If you had a bug that you would get two cables of the same color for the morning bomb disarming, download the build again. I reuploaded it with the fix just now :)
How exactly are you supposed to "witness runes mana balls" in the early morning ive been going through playthroughs over and over and can't find the option to do so. am I missing something that allows me to see that interaction? plz help. also how am I supposed to learn more of Alon's dark secrets in his conversation? do I need to find all of the mysterious figures first or something? if so how do I find mysterious figure in the corridor in the early afternoon?
Weird thought came to mind but, I can envision this VN to be a fleshed-out game to that of Dynasty Warriors. Having to fend off hoards of Monsters to protect your home and allies, relying not only on your mana vision to look for weak spots and openings but also on your friends to unleash powerful attacks to gain the upper hand in battle. Strengthen your bond with your friends by engaging with them both inside and outside the battlefield. Doing this not only reinforces one's attacks and combo potential but also allows the protagonist to share more intimate and sentimental values. Of course, the game would be story first gameplay second, but the way you incorporated mana into your story undoubtedly has potential.
I noticed that there wasnt any guides for those who wanted the juicy scenes so ill share the steps for the current 4 I know:
Rune Jerk-off:
In the first mana vision segment of the gameplay, dont wack him at any moment and wait till he shows his clan jewels, aka balls, then proceed to afternoon and he'll invite your for a more "thorough" examination, if you disagree after agreeing then you can unlock an alternate dong version.
Alon Blowjob:
Listen to the weapon arguement and choose a decision, then say that the reddest dicks are best, you will then unlock a decision when you talk with alon where you can ask about his sex life, continue for the lewd choices till he makes you play a bet with coin toss, winning the coin toss (via save and reload) allows you to invite him to the baths, losing will trigger the Blowjob scene.
Thistle 69:
Visit cooper in the afternoon by leaving the tavern, then listen in to the fanfiction of thistle and you can barge in after a moments, after the whole teak, cooper, massage shenanigans, thistle will invite you for a talk later on when you go hangout with max, when you have the talk, you can choose to flirt back to him and it'll lead to you and him fondling and 69 scene inside the car.
Burry Sex Scene:
Make sure your bomb code isnt easy to do, then just go through the whole burry route till you reach the decision where you can use the bomb on the bath door, refuse to use it and save it for when you battle the monsters, proceed to the whole story till you reach the decision where you can hug him or kiss him for that damn knot.
If there are any corrections, comment down below cuz I might not notice and atleast the others will know.
I don't really understand this "to do" list; do we have to follow it in order to progress the story? I'm trying to pursue Rune's route, but in the "To do" list, it says to "spend afternoon with Max". If I ignore it and don't do it right away, will I be able to progress with the story?
When you were first given the Mid-Afternoon scenes choice, you got an information that none of the content in Shelter is missable. That's true. TO DO simply shows you what content you haven't seen yet, and you should just do it in whatever order you want. Don't treat it like something you have to "win". Just explore it.
Been playing again and again but I can't stop loving it. Burry's story was interesting and makes me understand him a lot! I also love that Rune is a Husky cause i love Husky dogs so much! Wish there could be Alon and Cooper route because i find this two interesting and hot? Love your amazing work looking forward to your updates. ❤️
Hi @rausmutt just tried your game and I love it! The game mechanics are interesting and creative! World building is top-notch! The art / nsfw scenes are so well made and blood pumping OwO! The details you put into dog anatomy is impressive *wink*! The whole doggo atmosphere is just so perfect! I can't get enough of the tail wagging <3 ! Awoo~!
BUT, there's one thing that bothers me this whole time: The "Forced Drama" between Luke & the pack.
Luke tries desperately to become one of them, but it's not what he really want: he thinks the dogs as "Human companion substitute" which means he only want a place he belongs.
Luke can never become one of them (dogs) as he'll always be different (human) - unless you add-in transformations tho that'd lose the charm you've already built up
But Luke does not need to become one of them to belong, He should acknowledge and respect the differences, then work on the bridges - which he did nothing toward
For a community that encourages "Variety", This Forced Drama conveys quite troubling messages
On that note I think you did Teak (the racist) right - it's only one extreme individual that doesn't represent the pack, and can still be a good boy
Thanks for spending time on this text wall, and keep up the good work!
This game... Bruh I'm not even joking when I say it's one if not the second best game(s) I've ever played, even though, yes, it is kinda a dating simulator painstakingly.
But seriously! The characters, the surprisingly brilliant mix of comedy and trauma, drama, and adventure, the art, the choices, it's just wonderful! Seriously, I cannot describe how much I enjoy this game lmao and I'm sure many others would say the same, unlike all these other dating siomulator-drama-trauma-adventure mixes around here this one doesn't leave a week's worth of depression and also it doesn't rely on romance to make it a good game but rather it relies on the characters, dialogue, and friendship building to make it a good game. If I could give it ten stars I would, but yea I highly recommend this game for anyone wanting to take a break from emotional traumatic adventure dating simulators and just want to actually make MORE THAN 2 DECISIONS throughout the whole game, I highly recommend this.
Alright, so there is so much to talk about… and went overboard for sure… but it is too late for that.
First off, You have outdone any expectation of visual novels I had so far! Horniness is part of the living world and for us feels completely intimate, but nature doesn’t care. Telling that it is part of their culture is interesting, yet there is little lingers of intimacy when we talk about exposure. But let’s get this out for now, and focus on the whole structure.
Creating a world, living beings and giving them character is hard enough, yet you did it swiftly. I love the playful demeanor of the canine structure and their ¨abilities¨ Which it makes sense why a human can understand canines/human like language. Yet! There is so much dept in every nook and cranny, I have played for around 50 hours now. Boy o Boy, it is full of lore.
Lore and world building in a single space adds a controlled environment, and for this reason it was a wonderful journey. To tell the truth, I wished more drawings on some areas, but even without them, the description of each area was enough to bring imagination into the reader.
For the people who are reading: Luke is the name of our main character, he lives in a world of despair, and he seems to be the only human in a pack of dogs. Due to the nature of people, it is hard to fully get a friendship between both factions. The Canine, they go by their instincts yet have the friendliness equals to a dog in real life.
Overall, let me say what I think in each category so far:
Art Design: It is done what only needs to be done! I did see some little details, even background characters reacting to The Main Characters actions. Sometimes funny, Other times confusing, but it worked.
Music: It does its purpose, and conveys emotion when it is needed. I can say that even I was enjoying them while playing. Sometimes songs lent to distract from the story, but not in this case.
Narrative: World building, Story telling, Mood, Actions, Feelings, scenario, even conversations entered naturally when starting. The world opens slow enough, so you can start understanding the whole scenario. I was crying, laughing, even feeling the anger of the main character.
Sadly, I was blinded for anything of my path, I choose the wreckless route and ended dying with my friend from choosing what humans normally would do.
Now I’m adding this new category to my review since there is an ending
Endings: So far there is only one and is Burry as our main controlling point. The character itself is a charming fellow, with a tragic backstory, I can’t say much or else I will spoil the content. This character has a fascinating relation with our main character known as Luke. Many of the 4 main character guiding Luke show to have at one point fallen in lust. But our character doesn’t remember the most meaningful moment he had with them until chaos arrives, he will remember and know more later when danger arrives.
Burry, is a wonderful character showing what a coin is like, it has two sides but one of them is stuck with his past and his true nature, the other side shows his true nature also but in kind. He changed thanks to Luke, and every character so far share that feeling.
World Building: Due to the nature of the world and its characters, they have MANA, a true wonder of fantasy for sure. MANA is explained and is remarkable to have a full gasp of the basics in the world. The land around said world is a desert of snow, with a structure known as shelter. It is a human invention, but we do not know its full capacity yet.
My opinion: I had my own laughs, sadness, anger even horniness shared in the journey. I grew fond of some characters and fully understood their points of view after tinkering with their stories. So far, it is a Game I Do recommend trying. It does not jump directly to lust, but it is part of its structure.
My problem so far was Alon our 4th wall breaker. Talks to us, and we do have 2 little affairs with him, which is nice. He critiques us in our endings, many of which are because of a lack of understanding of the situation or literally a fast pace press of ¨catch¨ button. I do not hate him at all in the contrary I enjoy his demeanor, but. Kinda wish we had a little more talk.
My concern with the plot. It is really short. To be honest, the whole scenario is done in a single day! And I do not mean day in real life, I mean in game. It was only a single issue solved in a single day. Which to be honest doesn’t feel romantic, if it is supposed to be. Even if it is not romantic, the whole ordeal it is done in a day, and lefts a lot of potential of getting more personal or even friendlier with the characters.
But it doesn’t change at all, my opinion is a wonderful game and a lot of time put into it. And is a journey to be enjoyed and cherished.(I might have done more nonsense writing than a review, to be honest…)
As usual, l came for the porn and then got caught up in the compelling well written story with the amazing characters. Finished the Burry route crying like a love sick teenager and then Alon showed up and I'm laughing my ass off. Great Job.Love this VN.
Man, kinda bittersweet to see you finally get to this point. I saw you entertaining the notion of a sequel, and with all the potential you have for story left in your world, here's hoping you go through with it. Cheers, friend.
This was wonderful, the whole thing made me super emotional (seriously I did the prony scene in Burry's route but was too raw to enjoy it which in this case I'd call a good thing.)
This setting is so rich and detailed, I really really wanna do something set in it myself now!
I hope you and your loved ones stay safe and wish you the absolute level best and most importantly: Thank you for sharing this with us.
Does anyone know how to use the bomb in Burry's route? Every time I deactivate it, it goes to Rune. Also, where's the event you get shot by a dog? I've looked everywhere, and can't see, to find it.
SHIT i meant dont make the password any of the mentioned numbers SORRY, i put mine as 1412. after you exit the bath without using the bomb, keep doing Burry's route til the rooftop part, thats where you use it

This build is great and i wonder how things will turn out next, cant wait
If you had a bug that you would get two cables of the same color for the morning bomb disarming, download the build again. I reuploaded it with the fix just now :)
tomorrow is the day guys
the day is today, the time is now, awoo awoo, time to see doggos
Anyone know what is going on with version 0.22 I know it's probably on patreon but I was just wondering if there was any update on public release
Raus is going to post the public version on the 10th of May, so in a few days!
2 days left for V22, Baby!
How exactly are you supposed to "witness runes mana balls" in the early morning ive been going through playthroughs over and over and can't find the option to do so. am I missing something that allows me to see that interaction? plz help. also how am I supposed to learn more of Alon's dark secrets in his conversation? do I need to find all of the mysterious figures first or something? if so how do I find mysterious figure in the corridor in the early afternoon?
Don't press wack at all when u first use mana vision to get runes mana balls
What are the conditions for unlocking the save game slot? At first there were only 3 channels, and then there were 5?
Put the Barkest corner, when you end some of way, there's a lot of, it will open you another save slots
Do things, rutes, and other things of To-do, that unlocks the saves
The saves are a prize for completition
Weird thought came to mind but, I can envision this VN to be a fleshed-out game to that of Dynasty Warriors. Having to fend off hoards of Monsters to protect your home and allies, relying not only on your mana vision to look for weak spots and openings but also on your friends to unleash powerful attacks to gain the upper hand in battle. Strengthen your bond with your friends by engaging with them both inside and outside the battlefield. Doing this not only reinforces one's attacks and combo potential but also allows the protagonist to share more intimate and sentimental values. Of course, the game would be story first gameplay second, but the way you incorporated mana into your story undoubtedly has potential.
exactly what i thought as well lol ESPECIALLY after that one alon scene
How I can survive the fight wit teak?
Please I need to now...
Just don't attack.
Really??? Omg... Ok tanks, I will try.
I still have ver 12 and i want to update it and it seems that v21 is not the same application as before. How do i fix it.
I noticed that there wasnt any guides for those who wanted the juicy scenes so ill share the steps for the current 4 I know:
Rune Jerk-off:

Thistle 69:
Visit cooper in the afternoon by leaving the tavern, then listen in to the fanfiction of thistle and you can barge in after a moments, after the whole teak, cooper, massage shenanigans, thistle will invite you for a talk later on when you go hangout with max, when you have the talk, you can choose to flirt back to him and it'll lead to you and him fondling and 69 scene inside the car.

If there are any corrections, comment down below cuz I might not notice and atleast the others will know.
how do you remember to manipulate mana in a different playthrough like the party or the training with rune? I can’t seem to get it no matter what
Only Burry's route is finished at the moment
Oh, I love the game so far! I quite much liked Rune, so I'm looking forward to his story! Can't wait >.< Thank you for bringing this story to us!
After play this VN, all I got to say is "Bark" and "Awoo"...
I don't really understand this "to do" list; do we have to follow it in order to progress the story? I'm trying to pursue Rune's route, but in the "To do" list, it says to "spend afternoon with Max". If I ignore it and don't do it right away, will I be able to progress with the story?

Don't treat it like something you have to "win". Just explore it.
Thank you for explaining!
i'm a bit of a scatter brain and i just finished Burry route.
how exactly does this VN work? i'm a bit lost i admit
Been playing again and again but I can't stop loving it. Burry's story was interesting and makes me understand him a lot! I also love that Rune is a Husky cause i love Husky dogs so much! Wish there could be Alon and Cooper route because i find this two interesting and hot? Love your amazing work looking forward to your updates. ❤️
spoiler:
Alon and cooper ending!?!?!?!? What happens to them can we make it so they can stay🥺😭😭🥺😭😢
Hi @rausmutt just tried your game and I love it! The game mechanics are interesting and creative! World building is top-notch! The art / nsfw scenes are so well made and blood pumping OwO! The details you put into dog anatomy is impressive *wink*! The whole doggo atmosphere is just so perfect! I can't get enough of the tail wagging <3 ! Awoo~!
BUT, there's one thing that bothers me this whole time: The "Forced Drama" between Luke & the pack.
Thanks for spending time on this text wall, and keep up the good work!
Awoo~!
Can I ask which routes are complete
Burry's route is complete.
Wait a minute, Luke said that his father sent him up north right? So that means that there are more humans
But, why did they got separated? thats my question... ='l
Or Luke could be adopted. It was never stated that his father was human.
What is the update that just came out today, usually there's a description but there isn't this time?
cause that's for the patreon update XD
I feel stupid I can't find the mysterious I know the game does tell you when you can find it but I cannot LOL
I made them easier to find in v22. Good luck then :P
thank you for letting me know LOL even though it is a little weird I wish there were more romance scenes LOL again
This game... Bruh I'm not even joking when I say it's one if not the second best game(s) I've ever played, even though, yes, it is kinda a dating simulator painstakingly.
But seriously! The characters, the surprisingly brilliant mix of comedy and trauma, drama, and adventure, the art, the choices, it's just wonderful!

right it is full of lore
imagine if game theory did an episode on it
LMAO
Help I'm so lost on where I'm supposed to find Alon in the turret control room
Idk if you are still stuck, but... We know canine mana is red. That should be help enough I hope ^^
By any chance, is there a walkthrough for this game?
Yes, in the game. Finish your first playthrough blindly and you'll unlock TO DO screen which is basically a guide.
finished Burry route and oh my goddess, I never went to crying a lot to hella horny that fast before...
It was amazing. and that detonation scene was amazing.
loved it.
Hmmm... The Lion, Luke, and the Wardrobe?
Haha, lmao
loved this update! is there a way for burry to top though instead of Luke?
Hey, how can I get burry's porn scene ?
As usual, l came for the porn and then got caught up in the compelling well written story with the amazing characters. Finished the Burry route crying like a love sick teenager and then Alon showed up and I'm laughing my ass off. Great Job.Love this VN.
I smelled earl grey in the kettle and I came running faster than Teak wanting to kill Luke
Are you gonna update your ost on bandcamp ? The latest tracks were amazing and I'd love to listen to them outside of the game !
Man, kinda bittersweet to see you finally get to this point. I saw you entertaining the notion of a sequel, and with all the potential you have for story left in your world, here's hoping you go through with it. Cheers, friend.
How do I get to Burry's "special scene"?
Pretty much, if there is a choice to do something with Burry, do it. Should get you to his part of the story!
Wanted to ask if Teak will have route too.
I know that he has problem with Luke, but I think that still could change during the story
I mean, it would be possible right?
Most likely. There is a way to go down a "path" for him, like in the fight scene.
This was wonderful, the whole thing made me super emotional (seriously I did the prony scene in Burry's route but was too raw to enjoy it which in this case I'd call a good thing.)
This setting is so rich and detailed, I really really wanna do something set in it myself now!
I hope you and your loved ones stay safe and wish you the absolute level best and most importantly: Thank you for sharing this with us.
im screaming rn why did i miss this build
Does anyone know how to use the bomb in Burry's route? Every time I deactivate it, it goes to Rune. Also, where's the event you get shot by a dog? I've looked everywhere, and can't see, to find it.
dont make the password predictable (ex: 1111,2222,3333... or 6969)
shot by a dog?
max route, meet with thistle but dont be horny, then dont use your brain and dies
Thanks! (yeah I made my password 1234, 1111, and then 6969. Thanks again! Still can't figure out how to use it in the fight once I get it though)
SHIT i meant dont make the password any of the mentioned numbers SORRY, i put mine as 1412. after you exit the bath without using the bomb, keep doing Burry's route til the rooftop part, thats where you use it
It's okay, you wrote it correctly the first time :)
aa you dont know how relieving that is thank you!!!
