When it comes to VNs, writing is the most important thing for me personally. And writing in Soulcreek is just breathtaking. The atmosphere is amazing and I really get into the story as I read. Art and music are beautiful as well. The plot and characters are so well-written, I don't even know how to express just how amazed I am.
Really, I just love this game so much and it's only build 3!
Loken is also very unique character. Love how he's both strong and vulnerable at the same time. Love all these little quirks he have.
Admittedly I am usually in for the lewds when it comes to this genre 😅, but here it is just a nice extra bonus, as the story itself is genuinely intriguing.
Both the art and writing is great, but I have to mention that the sound design complimenting everything beautifully, and often-wise the sound department where other (even otherwise good) VNs are usually lacking.
I could go into detail about how I admire the way xou contrive plotlines, or even how well xou build compelling characters, but I'll keep this short and just say that xou're and impeccably good writer and I ADORE Soulcreek through and through~ n__n thank xou for all xour hard work!
PS. This update was so hot that if I had a vagina, it'd have burst into song for Loken "^///^ (gods, that line killed me x"D)
So basically, I was reluctant to try this VN because I thought ''a human MC, this is gonna be some cliche I woke up with a hot furry bf and some evil guy appears'' BOY WAS I WRONNGGG. Not going to spoil anything but this has to be the most engaging VN I played since the Smoke Room, Echo and Burrows. I actually felt the terror on the MC when a certain event happens, I have to thank you for being able to experience this VN. SPOILERS!!!!!!
PS: If a sex scene happens, please let us go Adastra mode and decide if we are going to top or sub the love interest, pretty please? Edit: Another one LMAO, I should comment after finishing the build
Right????? The fact that we dont have a description of how the demons look like, that they are so so indescribably (for lack of better term) horrifying...
It just leaves it to imagination, and god damm I love that!
It makes me feel the same fear the MC feels in a kind of way
God knows how excited I a'm for the next update. I thought the next update will be in 25 December but hey this is like early Christmas gift right? ....
After reading though this vn after the new update I realized that Loken shows a lot of neurodivergent (specifically autistic) traits and as an autistic person myself I actually really love how Loken's autism is portrayed not as a good or bad thing but just Loken being Loken. It's quite a respectful way to portray it. Though is it intentional?
I personally did not find the "romance" that rushed, as the MC himself explains it, is not real romance just yet, but mainly physical attraction. Plus, lets not forget that the MC is currently clinging to the only fix point in his "new life" (not counting Byte, since a "voice inside your head" cannot replace actual company), which is currently Loken.
Love the plot and characters. It's a nice breath of fresh air to see a more a-holey MC compared to other VNs. Though it really makes me wish he would shut his mouth sometimes lolllll.
I actually find this vn super entertaining. I'm in love with the story and the blackzones topic and I definitely want to continue the story with bite. Maybe the mc is the key to revealing the unknown story of the fall? Maybe not? Or maybe he is the key to stopping the creatures from the blackzones? Who knows! Only time will say. I find that this vn has the perfect balance between story and romance. I completely recommend reading this vn 10/10. I can't wait for the next update 💙
It is a genuine criticism, he gets claimed as property and instantly falls in love, cant think about anything other that how hot the wolf looks and will actually get sad if left alone by his "savior" for a microsecond.
All of this only makes the VN worse, and it didnt need to be like this.
Hi! I was wondering if you'd have any good advice for the creator of this vn.
Like, besides the aforementioned things, what else do you think would need an improvement?
Also, what did you like about it? It's easy to point out the flaws, but what about the good things in it?
I personally like the flow of the story and the premise itself!
And let's not forget about the "totally not murderous robotic beings" and how they've been created.
The "cascade" itself, how exactly it happened and why humanity was wiped out - the reason behind this and all that jazz.
the prospect of adventuring in the forbidden zones, where danger and reward are hand in hand.
( the horror theme itself you could say ).
I, for one, I'm stoked about the training scenes we'll have in the future, as well as the bonding ones too!
I want to see more of that exploration side of the story, and the interaction between bit and us, as we discover more clues in order to solve those mysteries.
It's been awhile since i've played this, and so a few terms were forgotten; which is fine, since we might get lucky and get a christmas surprise! Maybe, who knows!
Certainly, there are always things left to be improved in any project or piece of literature, but i think we can all agree that it's all a process of learning, and if we give more feedback, we'll see a definite growth in this project.
Any help is appreciated, while i might not be able to support this vn financially right now, i can always give feedback and potentially introduce others to this project.
Well, i said my piece. I do wish i could give a more thorough explanation on the bits i like about this vn, but that will have to wait until i replay it.
Bonus question: how would you react if you were in the mc's shoes?
Thank you for your time & have a good one!
P.s: I'd like to thank Ryuo and his team for making this vn, for the amount of time and effort you guys are putting into this, and finally, for being awesome! happy holidays everyone! ^-^
Honestly. i really liked the things you listed, thats why that cliche romance plot bothered me enough to comment on it.
I have no issue with romance, i just dislike the one this novel presents for the reasons i already listed, a couple of examples of romance i like are:
Tennis Ace, the romance takes a long time to blossom, but it feels completely earned and organic.
Echo,, even though the romance kind of fails to blossom into something concrete due to character flaws and extenuating circumstances, the romance that it contains feels real and fleshed out,
Minotaur Hotel, the romance takes a long time to actually go somewhere due to the extreme power imbalance and trauma one of the characters has gone through, but it works.
-
One of the ways i think the VN could have handled this better is by making the romance take a lot longer, as in, maybe we see hints of interest in the characters for the first hours, and then they get closer due to their experiences in exploring the lands and protecting the people. The way it is done in the VN just feels sudden and unearned, there is no reason for the MC to be in "love" with a wolf he just met and got arguably kidnapped by.
There is also no need to make it a mind numbingly slow romance that takes 40 years to go anywhere, im okay with relatively fast infatuation, i just dont think it was done well here due to the way the MC seems to gush over Loken in such an intense way.
I believe it's a matter of preference; the game is advertised as a romance VN. Because of this the writer would be expected to focus more on the relationship between the MC and love interest, simply because that's what the general audience came for.
I'm not a particularly big fan of the romance aspect either, however, I can still recognize that this doesn't necessarily make the game objectively worse.
I only said it made it worse because the romance is lackluster and unearned,
The MC seems to harbor intense feelings for Loken for no reason, when they should just bond more slowly over their experiences exploring and helping each other out. (a different approach)
imo it's better than some of the ones ive read before. plus the romance did rise quite more slowly than it coulda been and didn't make the reading any cringe for me. i do agree it couldve been written a lil better
I just finished the game and it's so freaking good OMG the part where the kid almost got snatch by the Demon gave me goosebumps I really can't wait for the next update
I am still playing the game - I'm at the part when they are at hot springs. I will leave proper comment and my thoughts sometime later (and after I finish playing the current build) but - I just needed to come here and say that I'm MIND BLOWN. The story is SO good and the dystopian setting is so unique! And I am so intrigued by the Demons, can't wait to see more. Not to mention that the romance is so nicely paced right now and Loken is absolutely precious.
I basically just started playing but I already love this game!
this is another hype VN i ever read now,, im speachless ,, and thank you for sharing you wonderful VN. i hope this VN focus on flow of the story than horny stuff but horny stuff is a bunos, btw... i rate it 10/10.. good job.. man love u
And "Some are still going through Development, either for The Hype of the long-awaited reveal."
"or they have been left behind, due to Time and Reality/Common Sense."
*****Spoilers Below*****
But...
This...
I can see this VN on My list with:
(#15)Sileo, (#14)Echo, (#13)Distant Travels, (#12)In Case of Emergency, (#11)Shelter, (#10)Psychic Connections, (#9)Minotaur Hotel, (#8)Morenatsu, (#7)The Human Heart, (#6)Lyre, (#5)Nekojishi, (#4)Adastra, (#3)Perfect Touch(by Mosin),
And Even (#1)BlackGate, which is still my favorite.
To the fact that this VN, is (#2), which would end up changing to (#1), depending on how the end of BlackGate would be.
But it's (#2) because, the writing is fucking perfect, the story is crazy badass, the characters are cool,
Fucking Huge Loken talking the reader down as if he can become even bigger than the human,
"Since it seems that he likes that the Protag is smaller than him, he's probably even wanting to put the protag in his pocket at this point.
Even with that mention of being the "Bigger-Alpha-Hound" setting him off hungry about being bigger. It's to the point that I'm left hoping he can grow bigger... magic? potions? Another new plant to focus on? "Still going through Hound Growth Spurt, due to Hound biology???" please?????"
-----and with the minimal updates this game has been getting, it's clear to see this VN has so much love, time, and effort put into it with how long it is right now,
"Fucking Amazing Motivation All For This Project Right Here."
So Keep on, G̶r̶o̶w̶i̶n̶'̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶g̶u̶y̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶9̶f̶t̶ ̶t̶a̶l̶l̶,
I just discovered this VN a few weeks ago, and now that I've completed reading it up to the current builds' ending, I have to say, this is by far one of the most well-written, well-constructed VNs I've ever read. The story writing is on point and beyond, and the artwork and soundscapes are just *chef's kiss*. The vibe feels so refreshing and it really immerses you in the world. Of course, nothing is without flaws, but they are so minor that you don't really even notice them. 10/10, I Love it.
And of course Loken, boi do I want to be in Alex's place
I am a translator from the project of translating furry novels into Russian. I would like permission to translate your story. Is it possible to translate your story and distribute it using our media resources? If necessary, we can provide you with the finished translated material.
Man, I was really happy getting the notification that Soulcreek had gotten an update. It is definitely worth the read, 10/10
*Spoilers*
I replayed the whole VN to get back into the characters and it was worth it.
After the first two days of the story the Blackzones had this vague weird vibe to them but I couldn't imagine them. Now during the third day, we have seen them and they are downright terrifying. Constant psychological terror, exiles, ruins and danger everywhere. I esp liked the detail with the dawnsugar (?) cooking and selling to nomads. That's some nice world building.
The relationship between the protagonist and Loken has become increasingly complex and beautiful to watch. "You are small" has been used in so many contexts now but I think it will find a biological context during the indulgence :D
Loken is opening up bit by bit and cute in his protectiveness <3 Poor him was overwhelmed when Orion was in the Troupe... I felt a little bad for Orion, when he said something like the protagonist being his replacement, but I guess Orion might not care that much maybe? Still hoping for them to talk things out before (!) the indulgence. Oh man, are the protagonist and Loken really gonna sit and watch the whole orgy thing with Orion or are they gonna disappear quickly? :D
Loken trying to shield the protagonist from the indulgence because he is "modest" is incredibly cute.
I love how Byte and Loken have become a bit more familiar after a lot of distrust and overprotectiveness. But Loken learned to understand what Byte even was and realized his helpfulness. It's just hard for them to even communicate. Theoretically Byte could take over the body (which is a little scary) and talk directly. Maybe they are gonna do that at some point? Also, it is kinda scary that Byte can take over without the protagonists consent...
I like everything exchange with Byte, the way he pops up is hilarious at times.
We got some answers, but are still missing a lot. The protagonist was in some lab tube thing in the beginning and Loken breaking it caused the two satellite stations / server rooms to start. Is it like a security reaction or is the protagonist "supposed" to download the data at the two stations?
Is the protagonist humanities fallback attempt to reboot civilization with "The old Knowledge" on those servers?
Apparently there is an algorithm on there, but why does it need so much data? Is it an ai maybe? Byte definitely seemed to "recognize" the tech, so the data could be another ai for all we know.
Btw, is the protagonist a robot?? Or a bit of a cyborg? With a human mind though hopefully? :D The not-breathing part is definitely weird. I would try to find out if I had any anomalies in his body.
We still don't know what the demons really are though. Are they even real? They are described as robots definetly, but with some "magic" horror to them xD Very scary soundeffects btw during the scene with the demon!
Are the demons rogue ai that destroyed humanity? They don't seem to like the protagonist sneaking around. Where did the infliction virus come from or how developed it?
But what are the Blackzones in the first place and what causes the psychological influence? The demons themselves or is something at soulcreek causing it?
Man, I'm hyped for the next chapter and let me know what you think of my theories.
I've played a number of VN's and this one is such a top tier piece of work. The writing is astoundingly well done, the characters have such a good range of emotions, depth and complexity! The world building/art is beautiful and there's the perfect amount of humor that only develops the character more and just makes this such a fun VN to enjoy. Stellar game, cant wait for the next update!
As other people pointed out this is an excellent VN. I've read a number of interactive fics but it has been some time any has made me hold my breath so frequently and my attention so fast . It is absolutely and positively terrifying at points. But also very warm with it's characters and their relationships. I look forward to it's future and it has already made an impact on me!
Lots of love and gratitude from Brazil :D
PS: I love Loken
PS²: I REALY love Loken and will protect him at ALL costs
A very well-written visual novel. Everyday was so surprising, both main and sub characters' expressions, lines were all on point, the choices affects the story which gave very good impression for those who likes both fantasy and romance included like me. Also, nice sprites! i love the artworks, especially the Husky. I hope you will give us more updates in the future and hope you're doing well as well! My rate 10/10.
It is well written and has a unique soul to it. Most definitely a gem! From the characters, to how we learn things as both the reader and the MC, the descriptions within the Blackzone and the creatures stalking them, the pacing, every single point has had a lot of thought behind it and it was beautifully executed by the author.
I do not mean to disparage the artwork, but I would most definitely purchase this as a regular novel, and quite happily too.
I really do love the artwork, especially that darn Husky. It also gives a unique vibe to this VN which I have fallen in love with. It's no masterpiece but it doesn't have to be. It's everything it needs to be given the setting.
Overall, this is a well put together VN which was also incredibly fun to read. I'd be insane not to share this with others, so I have taken the liberty of telling some friends. Great job Ryuo 11/10.
In case you want to read a damn good gay romance novel, you wouldn't want to miss this one Gloam: Gay Monster Romance (Monstrous Book 4). It has over 2000 positive reviews on Amazon, and apparantly the other volumes are even better according to the reviews. The setting is similar to SC also post-apocalyptic.
Honestly @Ryuo this is is amazing so far. You are also one of the first people I have seen that does not have a patreon for your work or others. It gives me a lot of inspiration to keep working on my project, working on my drawing skills etc. Thank you for your hard work and anyone else in the project. Props.

Art and music are beautiful as well. The plot and characters are so well-written, I don't even know how to express just how amazed I am.
Really, I just love this game so much and it's only build 3!
Loken is also very unique character. Love how he's both strong and vulnerable at the same time. Love all these little quirks he have.
Thanks so much for making this visual novel!
This has to be one of my favorite VN.
Admittedly I am usually in for the lewds when it comes to this genre 😅, but here it is just a nice extra bonus, as the story itself is genuinely intriguing.
Both the art and writing is great, but I have to mention that the sound design complimenting everything beautifully, and often-wise the sound department where other (even otherwise good) VNs are usually lacking.
I could go into detail about how I admire the way xou contrive plotlines, or even how well xou build compelling characters, but I'll keep this short and just say that xou're and impeccably good writer and I ADORE Soulcreek through and through~ n__n thank xou for all xour hard work!
PS. This update was so hot that if I had a vagina, it'd have burst into song for Loken "^///^ (gods, that line killed me x"D)
Ill have nightmares about that
Spooky little easter egg you left in the files...
I see you, tooSo basically, I was reluctant to try this VN because I thought ''a human MC, this is gonna be some cliche I woke up with a hot furry bf and some evil guy appears'' BOY WAS I WRONNGGG. Not going to spoil anything but this has to be the most engaging VN I played since the Smoke Room, Echo and Burrows. I actually felt the terror on the MC when a certain event happens, I have to thank you for being able to experience this VN.
SPOILERS!!!!!!
PS: If a sex scene happens, please let us go Adastra mode and decide if we are going to top or sub the love interest, pretty please?
Edit: Another one LMAO, I should comment after finishing the build
Right????? The fact that we dont have a description of how the demons look like, that they are so so indescribably (for lack of better term) horrifying...
It just leaves it to imagination, and god damm I love that!
It makes me feel the same fear the MC feels in a kind of way
TRUEEEE
God knows how excited I a'm for the next update. I thought the next update will be in 25 December but hey this is like early Christmas gift right? ....
.....
.....
.....
.....
Byte: it's 🇲 🇦 🇬 🇮 🇨 wooooooooo
.....
.....
Sorry can't help it gehehehehehe
I know its been said like a thousand times before, but the worldbuildong is amazing.
This update came out earlier than I expected. Glad for it! Really enjoying this VN. 11/10.
Omg I love this vn so much!! It's amazing really, one of the best I have ever read✨, keep your hard work❤️😉
After reading though this vn after the new update I realized that Loken shows a lot of neurodivergent (specifically autistic) traits and as an autistic person myself I actually really love how Loken's autism is portrayed not as a good or bad thing but just Loken being Loken. It's quite a respectful way to portray it. Though is it intentional?
I believe he has already answered this…
I had the exact same vibe and came here to ask that too.
Byte is not AI riiiight?..
Well, he is AI, the question really is if you consider him "human"
me omw to skip to see the new adjustments in the previous days and then all the dialogues become unread:
thx for the build, its very amazing!
<3
I s e e y o u ! Incomprehensible monster beyond mortal understanding.
I'm curious as to what the Demons look like
This game is so fucking good. Please keep up this awesome work!
An update!!! Yaay i love this game!
The romance is unearned and the MC already feels intensely smitten by Loken.
It distracts from the quality of the other aspects
(A more down to earth version of my comment so that it doesnt look like im a troll)
I personally did not find the "romance" that rushed, as the MC himself explains it, is not real romance just yet, but mainly physical attraction. Plus, lets not forget that the MC is currently clinging to the only fix point in his "new life" (not counting Byte, since a "voice inside your head" cannot replace actual company), which is currently Loken.

I completely recommend reading this vn 10/10. I can't wait for the next update 💙i love the game and i cant wait for the update
Facts
the main character is too love smitten with their kidnapper, the cliche and overbearing romance distracts from the interesting worldbuilding.
It is a genuine criticism, he gets claimed as property and instantly falls in love, cant think about anything other that how hot the wolf looks and will actually get sad if left alone by his "savior" for a microsecond.
All of this only makes the VN worse, and it didnt need to be like this.

Please tell me the next update this story is to good pls tell me the next update
surprise surprise
Jesus this story is so good, love the art of the terrain, beautiful. But i would like to see what the demons looked like in future builds.
I just finished the game and it's so freaking good OMG the part where the kid almost got snatch by the Demon gave me goosebumps I really can't wait for the next update
yeah that's my fav part too, would have liked to have seen what the demon looked like though.
I am still playing the game - I'm at the part when they are at hot springs. I will leave proper comment and my thoughts sometime later (and after I finish playing the current build) but - I just needed to come here and say that I'm MIND BLOWN. The story is SO good and the dystopian setting is so unique! And I am so intrigued by the Demons, can't wait to see more. Not to mention that the romance is so nicely paced right now and Loken is absolutely precious.
I basically just started playing but I already love this game!
This is beyond amazing, please tell me you have a patreon
this is another hype VN i ever read now,, im speachless ,, and thank you for sharing you wonderful VN. i hope this VN focus on flow of the story than horny stuff but horny stuff is a bunos, btw... i rate it 10/10.. good job.. man love u
Compared to the many VNs that I have played:
"Some have finished in a short amount of time."
"Some have 'Just Started' being put out there."
"Some have already finished"
"Some are getting upgraded, entirely."
And "Some are still going through Development, either for The Hype of the long-awaited reveal."
"or they have been left behind, due to Time and Reality/Common Sense."
*****Spoilers Below*****
But...
This...
I can see this VN on My list with:
(#15)Sileo, (#14)Echo, (#13)Distant Travels, (#12)In Case of Emergency, (#11)Shelter, (#10)Psychic Connections, (#9)Minotaur Hotel, (#8)Morenatsu, (#7)The Human Heart, (#6)Lyre, (#5)Nekojishi, (#4)Adastra, (#3)Perfect Touch(by Mosin),
And Even (#1)BlackGate, which is still my favorite.
To the fact that this VN, is (#2), which would end up changing to (#1), depending on how the end of BlackGate would be.
But it's (#2) because, the writing is fucking perfect, the story is crazy badass, the characters are cool,
Fucking Huge Loken talking the reader down as if he can become even bigger than the human,
"Since it seems that he likes that the Protag is smaller than him, he's probably even wanting to put the protag in his pocket at this point.
Even with that mention of being the "Bigger-Alpha-Hound" setting him off hungry about being bigger. It's to the point that I'm left hoping he can grow bigger... magic? potions? Another new plant to focus on? "Still going through Hound Growth Spurt, due to Hound biology???" please?????"
-----and with the minimal updates this game has been getting, it's clear to see this VN has so much love, time, and effort put into it with how long it is right now,
"Fucking Amazing Motivation All For This Project Right Here."
So Keep on, G̶r̶o̶w̶i̶n̶'̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶g̶u̶y̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶9̶f̶t̶ ̶t̶a̶l̶l̶,

And I would give the 5 stars, if I could

The relationship between the protagonist and Loken has become increasingly complex and beautiful to watch. "You are small" has been used in so many contexts now but I think it will find a biological context during the indulgence :D
Loken is opening up bit by bit and cute in his protectiveness <3 Poor him was overwhelmed when Orion was in the Troupe... I felt a little bad for Orion, when he said something like the protagonist being his replacement, but I guess Orion might not care that much maybe? Still hoping for them to talk things out before (!) the indulgence. Oh man, are the protagonist and Loken really gonna sit and watch the whole orgy thing with Orion or are they gonna disappear quickly? :D
Loken trying to shield the protagonist from the indulgence because he is "modest" is incredibly cute.
I love how Byte and Loken have become a bit more familiar after a lot of distrust and overprotectiveness. But Loken learned to understand what Byte even was and realized his helpfulness. It's just hard for them to even communicate. Theoretically Byte could take over the body (which is a little scary) and talk directly. Maybe they are gonna do that at some point? Also, it is kinda scary that Byte can take over without the protagonists consent...
I like everything exchange with Byte, the way he pops up is hilarious at times.
We got some answers, but are still missing a lot. The protagonist was in some lab tube thing in the beginning and Loken breaking it caused the two satellite stations / server rooms to start. Is it like a security reaction or is the protagonist "supposed" to download the data at the two stations?
Is the protagonist humanities fallback attempt to reboot civilization with "The old Knowledge" on those servers?
Apparently there is an algorithm on there, but why does it need so much data? Is it an ai maybe? Byte definitely seemed to "recognize" the tech, so the data could be another ai for all we know.
Btw, is the protagonist a robot?? Or a bit of a cyborg? With a human mind though hopefully? :D The not-breathing part is definitely weird. I would try to find out if I had any anomalies in his body.
We still don't know what the demons really are though. Are they even real? They are described as robots definetly, but with some "magic" horror to them xD Very scary soundeffects btw during the scene with the demon!
Are the demons rogue ai that destroyed humanity? They don't seem to like the protagonist sneaking around. Where did the infliction virus come from or how developed it?
But what are the Blackzones in the first place and what causes the psychological influence? The demons themselves or is something at soulcreek causing it?
Man, I'm hyped for the next chapter and let me know what you think of my theories.
Thanks for creating this gem!
Consider Patreon maybe?
I've played a number of VN's and this one is such a top tier piece of work. The writing is astoundingly well done, the characters have such a good range of emotions, depth and complexity! The world building/art is beautiful and there's the perfect amount of humor that only develops the character more and just makes this such a fun VN to enjoy. Stellar game, cant wait for the next update!
Loving this so far, so glad I found this.
As other people pointed out this is an excellent VN. I've read a number of interactive fics but it has been some time any has made me hold my breath so frequently and my attention so fast . It is absolutely and positively terrifying at points. But also very warm with it's characters and their relationships. I look forward to it's future and it has already made an impact on me!
Lots of love and gratitude from Brazil :D
PS: I love Loken
PS²: I REALY love Loken and will protect him at ALL costs
A very well-written visual novel.
Everyday was so surprising, both main and sub characters' expressions, lines were all on point, the choices affects the story which gave very good impression for those who likes both fantasy and romance included like me.
Also, nice sprites! i love the artworks, especially the Husky.
I hope you will give us more updates in the future and hope you're doing well as well!
My rate 10/10.
Read it all in one sitting IT WAS AMAZING.
It is well written and has a unique soul to it. Most definitely a gem! From the characters, to how we learn things as both the reader and the MC, the descriptions within the Blackzone and the creatures stalking them, the pacing, every single point has had a lot of thought behind it and it was beautifully executed by the author.
I do not mean to disparage the artwork, but I would most definitely purchase this as a regular novel, and quite happily too.
I really do love the artwork, especially that darn Husky. It also gives a unique vibe to this VN which I have fallen in love with. It's no masterpiece but it doesn't have to be. It's everything it needs to be given the setting.
Overall, this is a well put together VN which was also incredibly fun to read. I'd be insane not to share this with others, so I have taken the liberty of telling some friends. Great job Ryuo 11/10.
I rate this review a 10/10, totally agree
In case you want to read a damn good gay romance novel, you wouldn't want to miss this one Gloam: Gay Monster Romance (Monstrous Book 4). It has over 2000 positive reviews on Amazon, and apparantly the other volumes are even better according to the reviews. The setting is similar to SC also post-apocalyptic.
You're right, Soulcreek is an AMAZING read!
Honestly @Ryuo this is is amazing so far. You are also one of the first people I have seen that does not have a patreon for your work or others. It gives me a lot of inspiration to keep working on my project, working on my drawing skills etc. Thank you for your hard work and anyone else in the project. Props.
This visual novel doesn't have a Patreon? 😮
