Given his propensity for misfortune, many mishaps await Howl in his efforts for love. On top of that, in the territory of Helward secrets and dangers abound. He'll have much to overcome while also juggling secrets of his own.

This story takes place in Helward. A fantastical city on the outskirts of Hell where magic beings, demons, and folks cohabitate.  As Howl's story progresses, more will be unveiled about the history of the city and the lands surrounding it as he encounters new friends and even enemies.

Dangpa please, don't let him be abandoned =(

(-1)

for some reason the game wont start ):

I love the expressiveness and the concept of the visual novel. Art is amazing as always but what piques my interest is how it is delivered to the readers(comic style)which increase the immersive feeling I get when reading the visual novel. I hope this visual novel will get updated soon. 

(1 edit)

i cant download this from the itch app for some reason

(+1)

(+2)

Yea i think this is dropped the creator is relatively active on social media but this hasn't been updated in almost a year and we haven't really gotten a. Response so most likely dropped

(+4)

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before but it's impossible to download the fvn through the itch app

(+9)(-1)

YALL BETTER NOT ABANDON THIS ITS TEW GOOOODDD 

(+1)

I really liked the art and the dialogue is well directed. Although if it's not too much trouble, there is something I would like to know: will there be an update in Spanish?

(+2)

I love this VN so much that I played it for a second time. The art is so beautiful! The story is wholesome! The characters are so lovable and cute! I had so much fun playing this I just can't get it off my head. Really looking forward for the next update. This right here is a high quality VN!!

(+6)

Just played it, and I adore this! The art and characters are real fun and the VN itself is some of the most quality ones just as a whole that ive experienced in a bit.

Take all the time ya need to make more because its great!!

(+2)

Is their an update schedule?

(+5)

cant wait for the next update :)

Hmm hi I had a quick question, will there be a sequel? I think the story is really nice and quite a bit I want to see and discover the secrets of this world👀

(+3)

i really loved playing, the main story is so cool i get so involved reading and the characters are so lovely, the art is amazing, really hope they update the game soon.

(+1)

Doesn't seem like it.

(+2)

If they are working on it alone, which is not unlikely, means they are not going to make updates reliably. I, too, am very frustrated that 90% of furry vns are unfinished or even get abandoned, but it seems that's just how things are going to be for a few years until people get SOME semblance of recognition.

I realy like  artstyle, hope that continuation will release soon

(-7)

Why do all the good vn get cancelled. Sadge

Damn really?

(+1)(-6)

no idea, there's been dead silence on it, so I'd have to assume so. Could be wrong and hope I am.

(-1)

HEY

Really enjoyed it. The art style, characters and location are all interesting and unique. The location specifically is quite interesting and I'm very much enjoying the world building. Main character is likeable and isn't just a blank slate for the reader to use so that's a plus. Can't wait to see more.

this is absolutely amazing i cannot wait for the next update oh my god

Real

(+6)

Forgive me for misinterpreting, for I could just be letting my interests float to the top of my head, but the persona 4 reference officially made me a die hard fan for this project. It was so funny and slotted so well with this charming ass writing! Excited for future updates!

(+5)

I want more!!!!

Alguém sabe sobre a próxima atualização

there's anybody would advice me with a good vn 

(2 edits) (+6)

heloo, idk if u alr played these or not but there's 

Adastra a classic | 

repeat it's still not finished the public version at least isn't finished | 

Socially awkward very funny (WIP) |  

BangxBang (WIP) |  

DaDVn (deers and deckers) i think it is finished |  

Pirahus (WIP) oh the game on itch.io is named my pirates husbandos | 

lustful desires (WIP) | 

Lentera (WIP) |

tavern of spears another classic (WIP)  | 

Outland wanderer (WIP). |

small on top too it's rll good (WIP) (better to use patreon they're on version 0.55 while the public version is still on 0.15)

They all have a public version i'm too broke to pay games T-T. In my opinion  they're great games even tho most of them are not done it still keeps u busy for sum time. 

Warning : 

- they are all NSFW obv (except socially awkward for now there's only one NSFW scene-ish. 

- lustful desires | outland wanderer | Tavern of spears are all games that takes a lot of time since it's like rpg I think that s the word but basically u need to travel around and just complete quests. (i recommend using wiki or fanmade guide if u want to progress faster) if u want to try them out i can give u the wiki and the fanmade guides 

- all the games have an english version BangxBang is at the beginning chineese but ummmm find the settings and just figure out where the english mode is same thing for pirahus i think

(1 edit) (+1)

that's a lot of informations anyway i wanna thank u that was very useful and yeah i played some of them annnd im broke too to buy games same as u lmao ,ill trust ur choices and im gonna play some of them unless all of them just with time and thank u again i really appreciate the effort .btw i loved helward tm i wish they public the next update vs and socially awkward was really funny tho

You should also checkout our The smoke room, Echo, and Arches, it's made by the same people who've made Adastra and imo are way better than adastra. Although they definitely lean more into the psychological thriller but they're all very good.

im planning to play echo after finishing every path in burrows i really fell in love with this vn ,the art style ,the characters ,the story ,and the complex in the timeline in each path ... they should make more of these .if u didnt play it yet i think u should go for it

I haven't heard of burrows, sounds like it's good I'll have to check it out for sure.

yo

may i ask

what do u think i have to play first dadvn or pirahus ?

Bro... This is a novel... Not a game... A visual novel, you just... Read... You don't play, you read... That's it, and you enjoy the story and arts, you don't go blasting demons or saving princesses, the whole point of a visual novel is to read... Just read. If you didn't like the actual premise of the story that's totally fine, honestly! You are allowed to not like the story, but here you're treating the whole experience as something that it isn't! Just, don't. You enjoy the writing or you don't, simple as that. But judging it for something that's not the main point or it isn't part of the experience at all is just bad review, watch out bruv.

Wow, and you proceed to go for insults and yet provide no actual argument to your point, indeed, such a good reviewer.  Honestly i have no reason to respond to more than 3 pharagraphs of insults directed at me and my family, with a addition to the insults to the writer, but as i said before, it's okay to not like the writing, but comparing to other types of games is useless. I won't argue further than this, if you wish to respond with more insults and repeat your same arguments go ahead man, i won't be the one reading or replying anymore. Oh and a plus, this is literally the second version, and you think its finished? I can't with what you're saying. Please go back to reading other stuff then, complete stuff.

HELPPP At this point you're just trolling there's no way you're actually seriously arguing and insulting people for a Gay furry game 😭😭


Go off I guess!! Ur making me laugh

(+4)

Sorry, it's been a sec since I've checked the page. I don't mind harsh comments or criticism and I let the first comment go, but this guy was obviously just trolling/mad. Happens, and thanks for the defense, although I wouldn't engage with them, thats validation to them. (Also working on Helward slowly but surely. Unfortunately doing the updates as quickly as I was wasnt too feasible.)

(+2)(-1)

Eh its fine, but still sad that he decided to do this kind of thing just to feel superior, keep up at your pace, it has been a while that there were updates, but i think your story is okay to wait! I love what you're doing with your story!

(+5)

Bro probably gets mad at chapter books because theres too many words.

(2 edits) (-11)

That's so insightful and interesting. The way you tied the complaints together with the common thread you pulled to unravel my entire argument was worthy of Capote or Wilde...


Also, your mom said to pick up a gallon of milk when you come by again, and she's getting tired of you leaving your sticky underwear everywhere after you get back from cruising rest stops all night. She said it might not be so bad if it was cum, because at least you'd be making friends and interacting with real people, but it's just from you shitting yourself because you like the way it feels. We all know you only go to the rest stops to lick the toilets clean because you saw your dad doing it before he left you, and you're hoping to make him proud if you run into him again. He was so embarrassed after he got in trouble for "drinkos pee-pee". Not because of that, he admitted he "like(s) the taste", but because they figured out you're his kid and that was a shame he couldn't live with. 


Your mom said she's going to let me start beating you the way she should have, irrespective of the fact you diarrhoea yourself in protest any time she remotely tries to correct your pathetic behaviour. I'm just going to use one of your belts — because it's big enough I can beat the shit out of you without risking touching said shit.

(+2)

I mean, go off I guess! Whatever makes you happy, King. 🙌

ur such a weirdo bro lol

(+8)
