A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Do you think you can change the world? No matter who you are, you can only do so much, you have so little time to make a difference.
Like so many times before you are off to your first day of class. It's not an easy thing, first day jitters, but you manage. This is your life now, a cycle of moving and new beginnings. Always in flux, nothing staying the same. And today is no different.

What a cliffhanger.. im like left here stunned haha
What an amazing update, as usual!
My goodness, how I love this story, everything was so interesting to read.
The ship's captain almost became my favorite character, it's a shame she's not as "nice" to the crew.
The assistants you meet on each route are also all so friendly, it's a shame that I have to follow a route to end up meeting them, but I guess that's how it has to be.
The changes in small details were super fun to read, at first I didn't understand what affected the choice of who you text first, but the changes that occur in this choice are small but fun, in the meeting with the captain, each character encourages you in a different way, or in the phone scene where they deal with you in a subtle way.
As always all the art and backgrounds were well designed I loved that each room's bathroom has its differences depending on who your roommate is. It's a shame that it's hard to see the doc embarrassed and his CG was a bit strange, and speaking of CG, I love Rhoun (my favorite in fact) but why was he the only one who got two CGs? (Which were beautiful by the way) Is this favoritism?! Joking aside, I can't wait for another big update like this, it was a great New Year's gift.
OOO, just saw Nocce, when are we getting his route >.>
Don't get your hopes up. I don't think there's gonna be anymore routes 😔
god damn im LOVING Marruk's new design. ngl se seemed pretty goofy before, BUT NOW HE HAS PECS FOR DAYS
This update is awesome. I do have one query though, are Kess 's pronouns (They, Them) or what coz I was getting totally confused. Please clarify 🙏
😭💔 I can't handle how heckin' adorable Rhoun is! Why is he so cute!? 😳
hes too good for this world
One of my favorites, for sure
Really, really good stuff so far. I'm totally hooked! Can't wait for more, keep it up =)
spoiler?
Pls, can someone give Marruk a big warm hug? He hurts so much, I don't care about Tucker, he acts like a baby (I ain't starting a war here, just stating an observation and I know that he is partially justified), but poor poor Marruk must be hurting so so much worse ;-;
I want to cry
I love Marruk's new design!!! 😭💛 definitely an improvement 👏🏾
Well today is the day can't wait for the new build release🔥🖤
It all depends what time he's gona release it 😅
How long does it usually take before updates are made public?
about 12-16 days, so it should be coming sround soon
Yooooooo I'm subbing right now build 5 let's goooo
I wasnt even paying attention and thought he was taking a break >.<
Cant wait for the update soon!
If i dont get some kissing scenes soon im gonna implode
Ayy it's one year anniversary for this vn.
congratulations I hope this vn continue the awesome work 😁👍
This is not a mighty guy reference🤣One year of roads yet traveled! Thanks for all the content you have given us 🥰!
Rly good VN with believable character's and a interesting setting. I also love the Artworks.
I think I will support you a bit for now (づ￣ 3￣)づ
i love how in the story they are like WoW look how primitive they are they use more then one color
Wait... why do they have to wait for the water (in the shower) to heat up? Surely an Eletric Shower would be more efficient up there?
(im not an expert ofc, this is just for the fun and giggles)
Well, electric stovetops still need time to heat up too, don't they? Electric showers doesn't mean immediate heat dissipation because the heat still has to travel through the water, which takes time. Water is a poor thermal conductor, after all.
question! is this a romance visual novel? or will it just have nsfw in it later on?
Hehe spooky number :3
I've been thinking about this for a while now, what would Rhoun, Marrowyn, and Marruck look like as humans? I'm not the only one thinking this, right..?
hello, i have a lot of free time (and an art block, literally just made this account to post this -__-)
Pardon if I may ask do you have other socials I love your art and I would gladly want to support you if you may allow it
oh, I don't really post much and neither am consistent, I just draw whatever I'm currently obsessing with so I don't think you'll like it, but if you're still interested it's mck160604 on insta ^^'
YES YES YES
I wish al least some of the overpopulated furry games could have the option to switch between furry and non-furry. And, damn, your art looks pretty good! Maybe you can propose a collaboration to the dev.
Bruh they are "overpopulated furry games" for a reason
Also, that would be a LOT of extra work. Better to just choose one of the two and go with it (from a author standpoint)
Buuut i guess if people really wanted they could always make a mod
It was just a wish that came to me when I saw mck16060420 designs. =)
And I wanna what reason of the overpopulation are you talking about. I don't now what reason it is. No bad feelings, I just don't understand it.
i just meant like, the people who read furry vns, most probably come because they characters are furrys. you get me? :v
Maybe they read furry vns because they can't find other possibilities.
I read furry vns because I'm forced because I can't find other vns, and I think I'm not the only one. Actually I start to feel tired of furry content that I previously managed to enjoy.
Cant wait for new update!
I really love this vn! Definitely will be waiting for the next update :3
Rhoun is da best
Finally got around to reading and catching up on this and loved it. The three dogs are amazing and varied enough to be unique and their own character. I can't stand the MC but the side good boys make up for it and can't wait for more!
I really like this so far! Excited for more and to see how the characters develop further... Especially Marruk. You already know I picked his path, haha. Hope you have a nice day if you're reading this!
Quick question, is there any new content in terms of Rhoun's route?
***Spoilers***
By new content I mean, after Rhoun frantically comes and gets you from the doctor's office, is there more content after that point? Just curious.
if you're talking about the latest update then I don't think so since he states no new content only Rhoun sprite update. 2.2 has been out for a while now almost 2 months, 2.2 Rhoun update isn't a content update.
Thanks for the clarification
I really love the story and how it's unfolding. The writing is great. It's surprisingly interesting to follow their interactions. I love the 3 dogs personalities(2 of them more...). Though I cringe sometimes at how dumb the mc is... not the best representative of a new sentient alien species...
The story is amazing and really different from what you normally expect, the art is good and to a great standard. I may sound a little strange but how are the numbers and letters different but the periodic table aren't different?
Totally agree, the story is great!
The periodic table is ordered by atomic number, meaning it's ordered by the amount of protons in the nucleus of the atom. I'd imagine every element no matter where it is in the universe will follow this same or a similar kind of order for elements.

Love everything about the VN so far but had one minor pet peeve in my opinion, When Marruk calls the main character (who I've named Isaac) the doctor's new 'toy', that seemed particularly mean spirited and cruel. I get that he's supposed to be suspicious and untrusting of Isaac at first, the VN does a great job at explaining and justifying why he needs to put the safety of the station and his own species before anything else. I also get that he's being portrayed, in very effective and well-written manner, to be under an immense amount of stress and frustration, especially with him feeling like no one is taking his professional opinion into account. Yet, him referring to Isaac as a 'toy' just seems uncharacteristically cruel and spiteful, and (please correct me if I'm wrong) he never really apologizes or even acknowledges it in the VN so far. To be clear, I am not trying to nitpick or crap on this VN in any regard, I love it so far and have found everything from its art style to its setting, to its character development completely capturing and enjoyable. I also don't want to dissuade any potential new readers from trying this VN, I would in fact encourage them experience what this VN has, as of now, to offer and to come to their own conclusion regarding what I previously mentioned. Anyway, sorry for the wall of text, just wanted to voice a minor irk, one that is in no way going to keep me from supporting this project wholeheartedly and see how everyone else in this community felt.
Compared what other abusive monsters like Cooper, Vulgor and many other did for repective protagonists (and people still simp for them by the way) Marruk calling MC a toy couple of times was such a non-issue to me I forgot it was even a thing by now.
Fair enough, but I just felt that it was a bit out of character of Marruk, and I hope there is at least some dialogue in the future VN acknowledging and even apologizing for it. But again, love the VN and won't stop supporting it regardless of whether or not this is included.
I do believe that Marruk is meant to be kind of the mean/bullyish character in the game. The way he treats the main character as well as Rhoun kinda shows it a bit. Its like anyone that isn't higher ranking than him is seen as trash.
I just re-read everything up to the room-mate choice. The writing does seem more concise, it was, previously a bit overly wordy, so well done. This is still my favourite new VN. Nice work.
Ah thanks! That was the whole idea of the cuts so!
Will the Rhoun art update come out public?
Is there information on the heights for the MC and the three characters? Or will that information come out later?
Tucker is Roughly 5'9 and there is an unfinished height chart floating around. I need to finalize it but Rhoun is about 6'7 Marruk is about 6'11-7 and Marrowyn is about 8 foot. Hope that helps!
I actually have 2 theories about this VN reguarding the MC and how they got there, the first one is obviously time travel of some kind since it may still be the same galaxy but in a distant future where humanity no longer exists or has advanced far enough to leave the system (but can't confirm without more information or signs of previous civilivation). The second theory is the possiblilty of wormholes/parallel dimensions since wormholes have been theorised to be natural space-time warping phenomenon possible of sending an object/"person" to another universe, and with parallel dimensions there is a theory that if they do exist it would be extremley similar to our own in terms life, so maybe the MC was brought here by mistake of an experiement reguarding that.
My strongest theory on this topic is that Tyr, seemingly the head research physicist or something, accidently created a wormhole while testing a new gravity generator, which the protagonist got pulled into.
It's mentioned that a bunch of high priority maintenance orders went out to prepare the power system for a big surge which would be indicative of the huge amount of energy needed to kick start that kind of gravity generator.
Additionally, some descriptions of the events following that test include:
All of these would line up with a gravity generator experiment gone wrong.
As for the motivation as to why Tyr would conduct such an experiment, I guess it would be to try and replicate or improve the one-of-a-kind gravity generator that powers most of the station.
In terms of the timeline and how it matches up with the events in the story, I would guess the emergency lights came on when the hull ruptured.
However, considering the creative liberties that can be taken with wormholes as holes in spacetime and their theorised implications with mirror universes, confirming the use of wormholes doesn't rule out any time travel or universe hopping.
I really like this comic and the whole idea around it. heres to hoping it doesn't fall off like the others then just doesn't get developed ;-;
Its a little slow right now because I'm finishing college x.x
I hope to get back to it soon!
I have a theory for this story. They said they are in a different solar system but they didn't say anything about the galaxy. Maybe they are not in the Milky way galaxy anything more
Not much of a theory. You could even argue theyre not of our universe or timeline.
I reckon for better or worse the MC is stuck/chooses to stay there and never going back.
Going by the pacing we should meet the captain. We will then meet even more important people. Drama usually kicks off around that time. I can only guess what will happen.
That looks like a save compatibility issue as your file doesn't have route information in it? Ignoring it isn't a fix as you'll spill through the script and continue to miss route content.
I would make a fresh save file from Day 8 with the Day Select option. That should set the route correctly and then you can skip back to where the error happened.
Will do, thanks a lot!
