Bonnie! I really love her route so far, it feels very realistic with the scars of old relationships and finding your own way. I'm loving little touches like the extremely fast time jump jingle and the starry background at the philosophy talk. This is such a special VN, great work!
I would like to say that i love Rebbeca's route so far. Your writing is great, even with sad themes you manage to make the characters sensible and even inspiring when they solve life's problems. Thank you for this VN!
broo it sucks i only got a somewhat old iphone only no android no pc no mac just a phone and the game is not being supported or updated on ios anymore it sucks. And since im broke i legit cant keep playing after some point. Anyway you can continue ios support or nah ?
Sorry, but that won't be possible without drastically cutting and censoring content.
If iOS ever supports sideloading apps or installing apps from outside of the iOS store, then iOS support for UtB would be possible. Until that happens, the only supported devices are those listed on this page.
Ever since I got into this vn stuff this has been one of the best ones I've played, I would totally recommend this to someone who is getting started and wants to play something that has some depth and immersion to it.
I'm also very excited for the updates and completion of it, I just can't wait to see how this ends.
If I could describe this in one word, it'd be charm. If I could describe it in 81 words, though, I'd say:
This whole project knows everything it wants to do and does all of it amazingly. I found myself laughing at most of the jokes, and downright cackling at the better ones. (And it's in the middle of the night! I am not being respectful.) All of the characters interact in the same way you'd expect a group of friends to behave. And, the "I will never jaywalk" bit reminds of me of "SUNNY! Don't walk in the road, that's dangerous!"
Hey so I downloaded the game on windows and tried to do the Oliver route. The game stopped at the day of the bowling alley. I'm just wondering if that's where the Oliver route ends for now or there's more that I missed?
Oliver makes appearances in some other routes, but that is all the main content there is for Oliver’s route for now. The game is still in progress though, so keep an eye out for future updates!
originally found the game on iPhone App Store and was getting into the story and adoring Oliver. Then it ended and I’ve been trying for the past 2-4 hours trying to download it from here the closest I’ve gotten was getting the file and not being able to do anything with it. Pls I need help cause this is a good game considering I’ve never played any of these types of games.🥲
The only supported devices are Android, Windows, Linux and Mac. If you’re using one of these devices and are still having issues, please reach out to me via Discord or Twitter!
that sucks well thanks for confirming. Hopefully I can get a pc soon wich I’m working on and now I can keep myself from going mad (even tho I can’t be with Oliver 😭) but thanks actually it’s an amazing game even from the small bit I got to play keep doing the amazing work
I suggest you to play Rebecca's route, and you probably love this game more! (i love Bonnie's stories too, she's one of my favourite character in this game)
Note: I already played the Rebecca's route, and it went crazy with unexpected things happened in the end of the day 4 content...
NGL man, this game got my feeling like a roller coaster. The story in this game is so unique and being 'perfectly' written. It has so much potential to be developed, and fortunately it is developed by the right person. Definitely play this game if I were you! Salute to the dev!
PS: I 'finished' Rebecca route, and unfortunately it ended in a cliffhanger. Cannot wait for the full story. Definitely worth it to play this game!.
Hey dev, i got a bug. So, i'm in the Rebecca Route. And when i got the swedish spa scene. Me and Rebecca are in the spa bed. When the Massause came, and the dialogue says "You feel the urge to cover yourself with your hands, but the towel is already doing a decent job of that for you". I literally cannot do anything, i can't continue the next dialogue, i pressed everything on my keyboard, mouse, spacebar, etc. but i cannot continue the scene. i even used the skip button with the "treat all text as skippable" active and it doesn't even work. please dev, fix this bug. btw i'm using windows device
I’ll look into this! In the meanwhile, could you reach out to me on Twitter or discord? I think if I had your save file, I could better see what is causing this issue.
The game is pretty good and the story is kinda unique and the characters designs are very cool, but a glitch happened to me. I messed up the story so i started it all over again and of course i used the skip button, but at some point in the story the screen froze and i had to spend another 10 minutes to start the story all over again..it didn't annoy me much but it may annoy other people tho..thanks for your effort anyway! (I played the game on an android device btw)
I'm sorry to hear that! You'll be pleased to know that the next build of UtB will feature a "Chapter Select" feature that will hopefully help make recovering progress easier.
I hope this will help. If you can provide more details into what you were doing at the time of the freeze (and where in the game you were), I might be able to catch the bug and get rid of it for the next release of the game
This VN can easily be described as "fun", and has a fun vibe to it. and considering my general appeal to fun things it's easy to say that I really enjoyed this game, the characters and it's story. It is for the most part pretty comedic and chill which allows you to enjoy the urban scenery. About the most recent update (build12)
I do feel bad for all the people that had this as a comfort game before this update, like **ME**. I know I wasn't exactly promised "happy fluffy fun times" the whole way through and the ending made me uber depressed but, I am still curious as to where the plot heads next. I *am* broken up about it but not super upset about how the story turned the way it did. After all a story is supposed to keep me invested in what's happening and well, this certainly does it.
do you plan on adding any other MC appearances? I tend to use the female appearance when I have played but I wish there was an effeminate male appearance for the player
The game has 6 romantic routes planned, featuring Hank, Oliver, Cherry, Rebecca, Clyde and Bonnie. As of now, they are all caught up to their third day's content, with Clyde being ahead and on his fourth day of content.
I only see the screen go pink when I create my character, maybe I deleted a file I wasn't supposed to, but I'm not sure. (Also sorry for responding late)
I liked it, but the writer is horrible at writing banter. People talking about nothing came out really absent-minded and boring, like the author wrote down the first things that came to their mind, so now the VN needs trimming as much as it needs new writing.
Come on, it's not that bad - the overarching plot is great! Visiting your hometown after leaving is a very good basis for a story. It's a topic people have opinions on, so they get engaged with the plot. That is good!
But! You do need to work on your banter game. It's pretty hard, it takes some skill, and it takes time.
To your credit though, you already nailed something that gives a headache to most beginning writers. And that's making characters sound distinct. They all need to have a character and a manner to their speech, and that's exactly what you gave them! Well done!
Now! You just need to understand that people in books, movies, and VNs don't just talk the way you and I do. Why? Because we don't have an audience. And your characters - yes, they do. They have hundreds, potentially thousands of people watching them, waiting to be entertained. So entertain them.
Think back to movies that had great banter, think back to books that had episodes about nothing that still kept you captivated. What were they doing that kept you interested?
They never wasted a line.
Everything was piling up on what came before, building up to give you a resolution. They set something up in the beginning and then circled around to it in a smart roundabout way. Every great banter scene was a slow-burning joke that made you think.
I don't mean that you have to turn everything into a comedy routine, but you need to understand how to follow those same beats to keep the audience interested.
You decide on the goal of a dialogue, you set up an entry point, but don't make it too on the nose. Then develop it, have characters discuss it, rub their characters against it. And then, in a smooth motion, do the punchline. It doesn't actually have to be a punchline, just a satisfying resolution.
You actually had a good dialogue like that - Rebecca talking about why she does everything she does. You just needed to cut it shorter. When she says "I couldn't do any of those damn speeches without Oliver. I don't know what I'd be without him. But without me - he'd be dead."
That right there is a perfect moment to cut. It's a heavy line, a good punch line, it makes you think, it has weight, and it closes up the topic naturally. Why is Rebecca doing it? Because her friends would be gone without her. Now make the characters shut the hell up and wrap up the scene. You don't need Rebecca explaining herself any more, you don't need the protagonist interjecting. The topic is already closed, do a wrap-up, trim that scene.
p.s. Please don't feel like I'm telling you off or putting your writing down - I wouldn't even bother leaving a comment if I didn't think you can fix and improve what you have here. I do wish you the best of luck with it, you're definitely onto something great here, it just needs a bit more work.
p.p.s. NEVER roll over like this to criticism, even a fair one. If you keep working on your VN - you're going to meet a lot of self-important nobodies actually trying to put you down. I mean, hell, you have an autistic approachable girl in your VN, someone is absolutely going to have an issue with that. Do not roll over when they come.
You're trying to tell a story, you're doing your best to make it good. If someone has an advice - good, if someone has a problem - there's the door. Again, good luck with your project.
This is all really good advice for young authors. Writing effortless-sounding dialog is really hard.
And one of the biggest challenges is learning to evaluate criticism and knowing when it applies to what you're trying to do and is helpful, or when it isn't and should be politely ignored.
I've noticed that at a somewhat later point in the route with Rebecca it sort of just hangs on the background inside the trailer shortly after you wake up and the UI is totally unresponsive. Thought I'd say something because I'm loving this VN so far!
I'm not able to replicate the issue. Could you DM me via Twitter or Discord? I would like to take a look at your save file and see if there's something there that's causing this behavior.
All the routes are up to their third day of content, and there is a planned 6-7 days of content per route. So each route is about halfway done. I hope that gives you a good idea of what to expect!!

can i get into a car crash in the game?
This game is great.. That's all I want to say :P

Is there a canon name for the mc? If there is in a game I usually put that in instead of thinking of one myself.
The default name if you don’t enter anything is “Ash.” That’s the closest thing to a “canon” name in game.
Hey, dev, how 'bout the poll? Who won? Oliver or Hank?
Oliver!
ahh mann, maybe next time! i really need that buff raccoon love
broo it sucks i only got a somewhat old iphone only no android no pc no mac just a phone and the game is not being supported or updated on ios anymore it sucks. And since im broke i legit cant keep playing after some point. Anyway you can continue ios support or nah ?

Just played Clyde’s route. And dang… that’s certainly a twist. 😥

10/10
Absolutely!!!
Hewwo :3
Just played through 3 days, and I have to say, great game!
Can’t wait to see more of the story! X3
(specifically more of Oliver uwu)
Hey so I downloaded the game on windows and tried to do the Oliver route. The game stopped at the day of the bowling alley. I'm just wondering if that's where the Oliver route ends for now or there's more that I missed?

Hey dev, can you tell me the result of the poll? Who came out on top?
Bonnie!

that sucks well thanks for confirming. Hopefully I can get a pc soon wich I’m working on and now I can keep myself from going mad (even tho I can’t be with Oliver 😭) but thanks actually it’s an amazing game even from the small bit I got to play keep doing the amazing work
❤️❤️❤️
Honestly, amazing keep doing good and believing in yourself
man it's rare to find hank lovers here, we need our goofy buff raccoon man appreciation moment here guys
Dev, when will you release the next update? (for example: late july, etc)
It is difficult to give a timeline for new updates, since I am a sole developer and don’t operate with deadlines.
Rest assured, there will be plenty of public announcements made as a build nears its completion!
I live under a bridge
i really want to see this game on steam.
i would even Review it personally on my profile and on my curator
https://store.steampowered.com/curator/8527224-DanishFurryGame/
Amazing VN! Can’t wait for the next Hank update.
I'll tell you the truth, I've never played a game that made me laugh so much and made me have so much emotion at the same time, simply wonderful!!
and now, die of anxiety until more builds come out kkkkkkk
I played through the Clyde and Bonnie stories and I love the game so far! I'd love to keep exploring with Bonnie ^^
I suggest you to play Rebecca's route, and you probably love this game more! (i love Bonnie's stories too, she's one of my favourite character in this game)
Note: I already played the Rebecca's route, and it went crazy with unexpected things happened in the end of the day 4 content...
Ngl I kinda didn't really like Reb after playing the Clyde route but I'll give her a shot lol
Dev, when will the character poll pt2 ends?
This morning! Cherry won the poll and will be the focus of build 15!
Alright... tbh, I didn't expect Cherry to win this poll
I do wonder if there’s demographic bias here, like someone who pays for the Patreon is more likely to relate to a character like Cherry…
Bruh, I was expecting Bonnie to win this poll. Guess, I have to wait for my next turn... (I'm on Bonnie's team)
How many chapters do you plan for each character to have?
It's difficult to say, but I don't intend for any route to be longer than 7 days.
NGL man, this game got my feeling like a roller coaster. The story in this game is so unique and being 'perfectly' written. It has so much potential to be developed, and fortunately it is developed by the right person. Definitely play this game if I were you! Salute to the dev!

Is this the end for Rebecca route (not finished yet) or something?
I even reset the game and loaded the save, and it didn't even work.
I’ll look into this! In the meanwhile, could you reach out to me on Twitter or discord? I think if I had your save file, I could better see what is causing this issue.
alright
thanks dev, now it works perfectly fine
btw, through discord or twitter dm or in a server in discord?
The game is pretty good and the story is kinda unique and the characters designs are very cool, but a glitch happened to me. I messed up the story so i started it all over again and of course i used the skip button, but at some point in the story the screen froze and i had to spend another 10 minutes to start the story all over again..it didn't annoy me much but it may annoy other people tho..thanks for your effort anyway!

Damn. Now we gotta wait another year or two before we finally get another Rebecca update
whos being worked on next?
The next build will be focused on touching up the overworld, and adding more characters and interactive details to the game.
After that, Patrons will get to vote on which route is done next!
sounds good!
I was not expecting that from rebecca.
What's the next character?
Rebecca!

Sorry, but there are no plans to add additional appearance options for the MC.
hello i have a qustion. how many romances does that game have and who?
I'm pretty sure the game has 3 or 4 but I'm not sure.
The game has 6 romantic routes planned, featuring Hank, Oliver, Cherry, Rebecca, Clyde and Bonnie. As of now, they are all caught up to their third day's content, with Clyde being ahead and on his fourth day of content.
Does anyone else have a screen that's just pink?
All I did was delete an old save and make a new one. (I'm on the Windows version btw)
Huh, interesting. I’ll do some testing on my side, but I won’t be able to throw out a fix until after Christmas.
Did you see this in the load screen from the main menu, or from a load screen while in the game?
I only see the screen go pink when I create my character, maybe I deleted a file I wasn't supposed to, but I'm not sure. (Also sorry for responding late)
I liked it, but the writer is horrible at writing banter. People talking about nothing came out really absent-minded and boring, like the author wrote down the first things that came to their mind, so now the VN needs trimming as much as it needs new writing.

I headcanon Rebecca as autistic
I've noticed that at a somewhat later point in the route with Rebecca it sort of just hangs on the background inside the trailer shortly after you wake up and the UI is totally unresponsive. Thought I'd say something because I'm loving this VN so far!
Sorry about that, I'll take a look into this! What device are you playing on?
Android! I'm surprised I didn't mention that in my initial comment to be honest, my bad
I'm not able to replicate the issue. Could you DM me via Twitter or Discord? I would like to take a look at your save file and see if there's something there that's causing this behavior.
How new is the game? I want to guess how many energy I put into it at the moment, to many games right now.
I mean how complete with that.
All the routes are up to their third day of content, and there is a planned 6-7 days of content per route. So each route is about halfway done. I hope that gives you a good idea of what to expect!!
