Hello! I'd like to inform the team that the game uses png files for the images. If you use webp files, then the file size of the game will decrease dramatically and the images will be 90-95% of the original quality. I highly recommend you convert all the images to webp files! Here's a good png to webp converter: https://nsspot.herokuapp.com/imagetowebp/
This game is beautiful, it legitimately made me cry and I don't cry for a lot of reasons. I can't wait for day eight to finally be released. It touched my heart in a way I haven't felt in a long time, just grabbed my soul and squeezed it real tight. Also I'm angry that your Patreon only takes money per build rather than per month. Let me give you money damnit >:3 *Throws 20 dollars at you*
I'm so glad that i decided to try it out when this update came out. I mean, you know how we call small details we like "a nice touch"? This game is full of nice touching… and yes, in that other way too! I'm leaving 5-star rating, like usual, and I encourage everyone to do the same for fvns they like.
Hello author, I would like to ask whether I have considered the development of Chinese translation. I like this VN very much, but my weak English foundation really makes me feel uncomfortable
Hello! Some time ago, Yaka (https://twitter.com/YAkkkkkkkkkka ) contacted me about translating Cor into chinese, I know he's worked on it for a while, but there's more progress being done. If you want, feel free to DM him and ask for more details! ^^
I truly looove what xou guys have created with this VN, and not just because Cor has relatable characters or a fun concept, but because it has an overall good vibe that is in many ways reminiscent of how I felt when I 1irst read Morenatsu years ago UwU
I was curious how xa'll'd handle the NSFW scenes, and I was not left disappointed in any way~ ^^_ a lot of VNs try to stretch out sexy moments like this, maybe even exaggerate them, and as a writer, I do the same, but xou guys did a great job with not just keeping them realistic enough to be lifelike, but also graphic enough to not fall short of pleasing the audience~ :p
I was sad when reading that our time in Cor will be cut short by a few days, but I'm starting to feel that "Completion" feeling with this last update, so I can understand why xou guys made that decision :)
Thank xou sooo much for all the hard work xou guys have put into Cor, this VN always invokes such good vibes for me! n///n
Oh, and, by the way... That icecream scene? "O_O omg...
Dang, that IS high praise for us, since we wanted to do a similar feeling, give a positive view of things while approaching some other subjects. I really appreciate hearing that ^^
Another thing I'm really glad to hear about, since I was slightlyvery worried about that, but I did the best I could and I'm very proud of the end result. I'm very happy to hear it was worth it.
The update is so freaking incredible and the story so far is very phenomenally crafted! Well done! My favorite character has got to be Gus, literally irresistible personality!
I also wanted to point out a major bug in the gallery where the new CGs are missing even after you've seen them.
Glad to hear you're enjoying it! Thanks for letting us know, it's really appreciated ^^
Right, it's not really a bug since I kind of forgot to update the gallery too whoops. Will be fixed soon along with the .apk version c: Again, thanks a lot for letting us know!
Making a new comment a year later, just to write down my thoughts:
I can't even truly describe how much I love Cor. The way it handles the dynamic of the friend group, the fun times as well as the arguments. It feels very realistic and nuanced. It all makes sense. The characters are unique and pretty expressive, with layered personalities. I love them all! There were several moments throughout this VN where I stared at my screen wide-eyed, thinking "Damn, this is great!". I really like the pacing too. Throughout the first few days it clearly hints at something deeper, but it doesn't drag out the mystery. Things become clear as the plot reaches a climax.
Cor is definetly up there for me, in terms of favourite FVN. It just really resonated with me on a personal level. I love the general vibe of wholesome and fluffy. It's such a feel-good VN and I'm here for it. Every scene is a joy to read through >w<
About the art, it's simplistic but pleasant. It might not be the best art there ever was, but it has a personal flair. I honestly like it, the poses and faces are as expressive as the characters themselves.
Sorry it took me so long to reply! But thank you very much again! ;w; I'm really happy that it resonated with you that much, and I hope the future updates will be just as enjoyable ^^
As for the art, I always love when people tell me that, since I love drawing expressions and showing personality through the poses and stuff. Hearing that it has that effect on people is a huge compliment, so thank you <3
Actually, yes! The middle update to fix and improve the first six days is almost ready and it's definitely being released at some point during this month! And I'll make a devlog explaining what's been going on when I have enough free time, but, long story short, with some help... Day 7 won't take too long either~!
Sadly not yet, since I'm still working on the CGs of Day 7, plus fixing stuff from previous Days so things read better (plus I'm back to working again lol)...
That being said, Day 7 is fully written, which is the largest part to do, so hopefully we won't take too long!
If im being honest there is nothing i can praise you guys for.. because everyone in the comments haas already said them but I fell in love with this VN after day 1 and have been following the updates ever since and I cant wait for more material from you guys 10/10
A very good VN; I was scrolling through the deepest results of what I searched and found this. I admit, I didn't play it yet for a week after installing it, but it was really worth it when I tried. The first 2 chapters broke my sleep schedule hahaha..
I wasn't used to the art at first, I'm an artist so it's the first thing I notice. Although, I think the artstyle of the characters is very cute. And the background style is perfect, it has this crayon-y texture and it looks dreamy, it's perfect because I can imagine Robert, the MC, has this vibrant yet nostalgic look and feeling to the world.
I really like the story because the pacing doesn't bore me, I don't like it when a single event is written in very long paragraphs. I also didn't expect to like ALL the characters, they were written so well (although Gus is my fav, sorry a bit biased since hes just so chill and cool, his design is so cute, and im chasing for him). Especially with Hector's improvement, he's not just this stereotypical nerd character, he made me love him after what he did to Mike and Rob. I think that Hector has one of the best character developments in the story, I can really see his connection with the group improving greatly. It's unusual for me to connect emotionally with a story, yet Cor made me care for ALL the characters.
I'm excited for the update. And I feel bad I couldn't share this game to my friends, I'm a private guy haha..
Anyways, great VN and had a nice experience, and I'm kind of thinking rn, I wanna make a fanart on this at some time..
Remember that sleeping is important, Cor will be there for when you wake up ^^
Thank you very much for your high praise, especially regarding the characters, it's inspirational to help us keep doing our best! And don't worry, sharing the game with others is appreciated, but not necessary, we're aware we're not for everyone.
If you end up doing fanart, feel free to send us a DM on Twitter or tag us! We'd love to see it!
I loved day six the realisation and change Robert has done is quite inspiring and actually gave me a lot to think about with my life which I really appreciate thank you:)
The new character development between Mike and Faust, Gus and the rest of the group is beautiful and makes me so happy.
And quick note the aspect of Jacobs spirit looking over Robert with occasional dialogue prompts between the two was a good addition in my opinion.
Anyway keep up the great work as always and I'll be excited and waiting for more:)
We're happy to hear you liked Day 6! Hopefully we can help other people with this story, and hearing it inspired you fills me with a lot of joy ^^ Thank you for letting us know!
We re-uploaded the updates to fix an error where the faces of two characters disappeared in the beginning of a CG. Whoops! It shouldn't be a problem anymore <3
God Mike and Faust's interactions make me want a poly route with them so bad,,, they're all so sweet and Robert is an even cuter twink thrown in the mix lmao
This story is really imperfect but I must tell you, your story is in my top favourites. I knew right after I started to read it in November of 2020, like the visuals of the characters are "weak", but I had a feeling it's something special. Fuck, who needs brainless Bara novel when you have Cor?
Anyway, I just realised today why your story is so great and it's because your own world. It's your own desire and the reason why you are so good at it is a bit of a blur to me, but it feels like you are an other-wordly visitor.
This is why your imperfect story is just perfect. It's about the desires to escape to another great world and this is what I want to.
I don't think it's as planned as others mentioned, like because of the bg and anything, it's simple, the story is your view. You selected the right bg's by your feelings. Everything is in match. Your masterpiece is just gives the "calm" vibes because it's, I dunno how should I put it in words... What I want to say is, I don't think you stress it. It has it's own natural laws and this is why I describe it as "calm". No rush, no hurry, everything has its time. I want more. ♡ Man, I always knew this is a special one, but this is the second or the third story what gave me the biggest chills on my spine. I missed to sleep with Mike though.
Thank you so much for the genuine words! I'll never get tired to read people's thoughts.
I'm definitely remembering "an other-worldly visitor" and "imperfect is just perfect" and putting them on my wall, I'm absolutely happy to hear this. I always wanted to create my own little world that I could share with people, and make stories in it. Hopefully, I'll improve overtime, but I'm just happy that people are enjoying this one already. Really, I hugely appreciate it ^^
I'm glad to hear that it gives you those vibes, because calm is definitely one of the things I wanted to transfer with this story. It's ok to take a break sometimes after all.
Mike will be more available soon, that I can promise lol
Sweet words, thank you too. :) It always fills my heart with joy if I can make somebody happy. :) But I may have a bit of a mean request. At this visual novel, please don't improve, because you will lose it's magic and this is the last thing I want to. The art style also has it's "icon" to the game.
I wish I could work on mine vn too, I just can't stop focusing on my draw-style, but still I can't stand the feeling if it's not the best of me, I will never improve to the level I want to because I will feel like it's never enough what I can do. But certainly, nice stories always make me to gather my hopes and the will to try again. :)
So,.. wow. Really wasnt expecting the story to go where it goes, when I first decided to read it. My first thoughts were hummm this art work is odd, not sure I like it but maybe the story is good / better.
Then I started reading and right away you can just tell there is alot going with the subtext of all thats not being said. I was right, I think. The story really is alot better than the art. But actually maybe there's a reason the art is the way it is. With writing this good, there is no way they just settled for "whatever" art could be had at hand.
The story continued to pull me in, and the art becomes "comfortable." Its like a touch stone, something cute and light to counter the ever growing depths of feelings the story and the characters are experiencing. But honestly by the end of the currently available content, I realize even the art work isnt enough to keep the tears from rolling down my face.
I have come to the conclusion that the artwork is actually a purposeful facade. Its meant to lull you into not taking things seriously, into thinking this is going to be something cutesy and fun, so you dont see how deep the water is, until your drowning in the tears. I'll be honest I found it to be extremely effective.
I have to admit, this is a very interesting take for me, because, in a way, you're right in that I "settled" with my style instead of trying to aim for one more usual in these kind of VNs, and I did it with a specific intention, but it's also not the one you stated there, since the idea was to just "give it a shot", take it as a chance to learn more ^^
That being said! I'm very glad to hear it caused that impression to you, it's a really interesting way for me to see it or even play around with. Thanks for letting us know!
Awwww Im sad that I was wrong in my take on How the art work came to be the way it is. But it honestly did have that effect on me. It really grows on you, and the juxtaposition between the style and the story, imagine for a moment (if your old enough to know what im talking about) Big bird, cookie monster, and the gang taking the places of these characters (aside from a very few and short AOish moments, honestly the rest of the story could work with those characters too.) They are characters you are comfortable with, and Imagining them having suffered through things, and currently trying to work through such adult situations really just really brings home how heart crushing it is, and how down to earth and legitimately real it is to have these discussions with each other, be there for each other.
Either way Im seriously invested in your story. The tears are real but they are worth it.
Ok, I'm officially a fan of this take. I love the way you just described it, and it made me so happy and so proud of using this artstyle for this story. Thank you so much! More will definitely be coming very soon, hope you enjoy it ^^
In the last two days, it took me fourteen hours to play through the current flow of this game. The main thing I played was the Gus plot line. Of course I play slowly, so it took me a little longer.
The first thing that attracted me to play this game is the unique art style of this game, a kind of childhood painting out of the feeling. I personally like this style.
The second point is about the theme of furry
Deep play this game, I found that the game plot to my feeling is very deep, each character's personality characteristics are different. I personally like Gus, the characters are very well drawn. In the fourth day of the plot, Gus expressed the feeling of abandonment back then, immersive, playing also expressed great sympathy for this.
Finally, I look forward to the next ten days of the game's plot direction, and look forward to the game updates after.
The above comments are machine translation, my personal English level is not very good. So may not be able to read my comments (￣ω￣;)
I don't personally read a whole lot of visual novels but I can easily say this is my favourite one, the art style is nothing next gen but is great and honestly quite homily, the set up and continuing story is fantastic, it's a mix of being emotional, chill, engaging and just very interest capturing and finally and in my opinion the best part, the characters there dialogue, personalities and different paths are there own form of art, Hector reserved but excited, Mike outgoing yet understanding, Gus foolhardy yet sensitive, Faust stern but considerate, Edward thoughtfull but anxious, overall its a beautiful way to make characters (My personal fav is Gus) and of course the y/n of the game Robert the way he was designed is in itself quite intriguing making such a emotionally driven character that can portray a variety of emotions that are so fitting for them no matter what decisions get made and showing his flaws in small doses combined with back story that builds up on itself after time and other interactions and choices to keep the pace of enjoyment but also seriousness, which despite many people trying and failing to pull off in a successful manner here it just seems in the right place.
Side note:I do love the involvement of unique abilities within the in story world and characters but having it used as a occasion thing instead of a gigantic part of the novel was honestly the right way to go well done!
Anyway that's it sorry for being so damm long I just wanted to express how I feel about this vn, you lot are doing a fantastic job keep it up I do understand motivation is usually a once in a lifetime kind of thing to have but your still getting through it and I can't wait till the next update have a great day folk!
Thank you very much for your kind words! And sorry that we took this long to reply to you, it's been a busy month.
Yes, the personal powers are something that are part of everyone's life, but it's not going to be the focus of this story. It's just something that exists, and that's it. Won't get more relevant than it has been in this last update.
Don't worry about it I'm glad you did take the time to read this and I'm sure this month would have been exhausting but you continue to push through, I've read the update and am up to my heels in excitement keep your work going it's amazing and so are you guys:)
I don't read many VNs but I made an account to say this one is probably my favorite. Exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for! It's so good and I hope more people find it.
I meant to leave a comment here a while ago, since I did end up playing through all the content available (a couple of times), and I really enjoyed all of it. I have a few peeves with the writing/characterization, but they're honestly quite insignificant, and I could see how some of those elements I didn't quite love serve to either set the groundwork for future developments, or keep the pacing of each route more manageable in terms of how relationships evolve over time.
It's very refreshing to have a cast of characters where everyone is likable in a distinct way. It's rare for me to find a VN where I can clearly tell "yeah, he's definitely not my type", yet still feel compelled to know more about them and be friends with them, whether to see how they'll act as their feelings change, or how the group dynamic might change in the long term, since one of the most enjoyable aspects of Cor is seeing these characters interact with each other, care for each other and share their experiences, be them joyful or otherwise. On top of that, and on a more personal note... it was hard not to feel a certain connection with the setting and with Robert, having strong feelings of nostalgia for seaside towns, and relating to him for a number of reasons, among other things that made me feel quite immersed while I was reading.
All this is to say that I'm already missing Cor, so I've been writing a dumb self indulgent Mike fanfic for a while just to fill the void while I wait for an update :x
Hello! Thank you very much for your thoughts, they're super appreciated ^^ Feel free to tell us about those peeves if you want, since we're aware there's room for improvement.
We're also really happy to hear about that, since, while Cor is a dating sim and those things will happen, it's also a friendship journey, and we want that to count even in other routes, and not only with Robert, so hearing "he's not my type" and see people are still interested in them is one of the highest compliemnts someone can give us. Thank you <3
As for the fanfic, I don't know about everyone else, but I'm definitely curious, so if you ever want to share it, I'd love to give it a read!
Overall, we'll post a devlog in a few days since it's been a while, but all this support is really helping us moving forward with this project. We thank you all for this~
Regarding my peeves, I do think they're not all that relevant since they're elements that have their place in the story one way or another. One of them is how every character seems to enjoy physical intimacy from the get go, and it comes off a bit artificial to me how everyone ends up wanting to cuddle with Robert from day 1, even when it's something unusual for them, specially with Hector not being too much of a physical person, but I can see that being somewhat necessary to better homogenize relationship development across the different routes, to some extent, which also makes sense considering they're not gonna stay in Cor for an indefinite amount of time.
Another peeve of mine was the introduction of powers, though it's not much an issue when I consider the possibilities they present for future events, and while I do think they'd be better off in a different story focused on the more supernatural side of their world (along with the miracle caves and whatnot), I don't really mind them as long as they're there mostly for flavor and don't slow down the pace of the story, as in, not replacing relationship development time with long exposition segments or something like that.
Other than that, there's only a few things I can think of, like Hector suddenly doing such a good psychological intervention, which for a while felt like an excuse to bring him into the spotlight, since he hadn't had a more serious plot-relevant scene just yet, but it still made sense for him to act the way he did. Oh, and I did find the "fanservice scenes" on day 3 a bit odd for Faust in particular, the heat transferring thing seemed a bit out of nowhere, and while Hector's was a bit much, it still felt in-character, just showing a more reckless side of him, so it's mostly Faust's that felt a bit off to me.
Anything else I could think of regarding criticism would probably be just a small nitpick, like me wanting Ed to not wear his beanie once in a while cuz I really like how his hair looks 😌
I wouldn't really share my fanfic since, for the most part, I consider it too self indulgent and NSFW (aka a bit trashy lol), but it's been fun to write while waiting for an update, it's helped me realize that there are many ways the story and its characters could go, since I've been considering many things that are already in the story, even if only mentioned briefly, like Mike's family, Rob's relationship with Jacob, Faust's personal goals and desires, the things Gus has done while Rob and Ed were away during all those years, their lives at Morelin... among other things that I've enjoyed coming up with, and a couple twists I have yet to write. It's also been a very good excuse to gush about my favorite characters in a more meaningful way, with Mike being my fav at the moment.
That being said, I'm very excited to see whatever's coming in the future, and I'm glad to know we're getting a new devlog soon, so I'll be waiting patiently. Thanks for the hard work and do stay safe!
Thanks for your thoughts, really! I understand those points, although I'm glad most of them still make sense even when they happen.
I can confirm that the power thing is mostly a flavor thing to add to my own world (and because, ideally, I'd like to continue working on other stories after Cor). While it has some relevancy, as it's something that exists, it's never going to be the main point of this story in particular.
As for the beanie, I will definitely consider it in a future update, so, when you see that happen, it'll be because of you c:
Overall, thanks for taking your time telling us about your thoughts, and stay safe too!
Thank you very much! As for the question, I'm afraid I can't give that up yet, but the characters will give you hints or directly tell you overtime if when it actually happens ^^
I have a question for the very talented developer of this great game : Are all the characters available as romance routes that Robert can pursue, or is it only Gus ?
Thank you very much for the compliment~ As for the answer, all the characters will be available as romance routes. All you have to do is make sure you spend the most time with them and, soon in the future, you'll be in their route!
This game is really interesting! The characters in the game are unique and have their own unique characters, which is one of my favorite reasons! Another reasons is that I like Mike very much. The story between him and Robert is very interesting, especially Robert and Mike holding hands on the bus. I look forward to their development in the future^^
Such a good work is free. Thank you so much! I sincerely hope that this work can prosper day by day. If the update is slow, it is necessary to ensure the quality. In fact, it is better to update faster (^▽ ^ *)) In addition, I wish you a happy New Year! (is it time to update the log)
I'm surprised how much I fell in love with Cor. As of writing this comment, I'm only halfway into day 3.
The characters are unique and expressive, while also feeling natural. The group dynamics are a joy to read. I especially like the hints at something deeper. This VN is such a fun ride and there's never a boring moment! The writing is really high quality.
The art is simplistic, but pleasant. Some of the arms and hands look a bit weird, but it's not a big deal for me personally. The sprites have as much personality and expressiveness as the writing itself.
I'm also really glad that the protagonist is distinct, and not one of those passive "blank slate" protagonists, as the commenter before me said it.
I wish you guys best of luck in developing this charming VN. Take all the time you need! I know it's not easy. Nobody is mad if it takes time between new builds. We're happy if you keep us updated. I hope this will grow a bigger following, because this is one of the better furry VNs. Thanks for making this and good luck! uwu
First of all, thank you very much! Those are definitely words that pushes us to try harder, it's really, really appreciated ^^
I know the art is not the highest quality, but, in a way, I made the decision to go into this project with my own artstyle, even if I knew it would push away some people (nothing wrong with that, I get it). Cor is a bit of a personal story of mine, though, so it woud have felt wrong to get someone else to do the assets, even if they'd end up looking better (although I'd say different, but... You know what I mean lol). Besides, it's a good chance for me to improve in that aspect, as long as people don't mind too much~
We're really glad to hear about the characters feeling complex, because that's absolutely where we wanted to nail it. It's been really encouraging to see people taking them seriously when needed and enjoying them. It's really humbling~
As for the time and Patreon, we hugely appreciate it. We'll still try to get things done a bit faster, but we know we're not being rushed, and we hope we can make each update worth it as a result <3 Also, we never wanted to make Cor as a monetary product. The only reason Patreon is up is in case people REALLY wanted to support us so we could occassionally hire some help here and there. We've always tried to make that clear, the game will be produced with or without money, that's for sure ^^
Overall, sorry for the long reply, but there were a few points I wanted to respond to, and it's highly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to play it and let us know how you feel about it~!
I'm usually not a fan of slice-of-life VNs, but I'm really liking Cor. The characters are all very enjoyable, but the biggest surprise was probably the MC. Not only did you successfully avoid the "blank slate" MC character problem, but Robert is probably my favorite character of the whole bunch, quirky, flawed, and cute! xP
Keep up the good work!
I would also like to report two "mistakes" (I think?):
- If you share a room with Edward, on Day 4 at a certain point you enter the wrong bedroom. It happens when the narrator says "I silently enter the room, not sure if Ed fell asleep... [etc.]"
- If you sleep on the couch, at a certain point the other characters offer you to switch places if you ever get tired of it. All but Hector, who says he'll fight for his spot.
Later, when the MC thinks about asking one of the others to switch places, he thinks that Hector would be the most enthusiastic about sleeping on the couch. This passage was slightly jarring to read: Hector was the only one who specifically did not offer.
The room error is one that has been there since the previous update and I completely forgot to fix it lmao, I'm definitely keeping it in mind for the next one. As for the other one, I see what you mean, and you're right. I don't remember exactly when that happens, but I'll definitely look it up.
Again, thanks a lot for reporting these! It's hard to keep track to everything, so mistakes are bound to happen, this helps me fix them next time ^^

Hello! I'd like to inform the team that the game uses png files for the images. If you use webp files, then the file size of the game will decrease dramatically and the images will be 90-95% of the original quality. I highly recommend you convert all the images to webp files! Here's a good png to webp converter: https://nsspot.herokuapp.com/imagetowebp/
This game is beautiful, it legitimately made me cry and I don't cry for a lot of reasons. I can't wait for day eight to finally be released. It touched my heart in a way I haven't felt in a long time, just grabbed my soul and squeezed it real tight. Also I'm angry that your Patreon only takes money per build rather than per month. Let me give you money damnit >:3 *Throws 20 dollars at you*
this VN is disgusting. rob puts the milk in his bowl before the cereal. 0/10
I genuinely didn't know this would be such an issue when I wrote that lmao
On day 6 if there is a menu to choose romance partner and I choose Hector, there is error
Oh! Thanks for letting us know! These don't tend to happen a lot, but we still need to make sure they work in case they do. We'll look into it! ^^
This is so good! I love it so much! Looking forward to more :>
(i love Mike help me)
I'm so glad that i decided to try it out when this update came out. I mean, you know how we call small details we like "a nice touch"? This game is full of nice touching… and yes, in that other way too! I'm leaving 5-star rating, like usual, and I encourage everyone to do the same for fvns they like.
Gus and Mike are my favorite
Waiting for the android version 😖
I love this game.😖
It's here now! Sorry for the delay, and we hope you enjoy it c:
AAAAAAA NEW UPDATE !!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
I can't wait for the Android version to be updated 🙏🙏
Android version has been uploaded! We hope you enjoy it ^^
Hello author, I would like to ask whether I have considered the development of Chinese translation. I like this VN very much, but my weak English foundation really makes me feel uncomfortable
Hello! Some time ago, Yaka (https://twitter.com/YAkkkkkkkkkka ) contacted me about translating Cor into chinese, I know he's worked on it for a while, but there's more progress being done. If you want, feel free to DM him and ask for more details! ^^
I truly looove what xou guys have created with this VN, and not just because Cor has relatable characters or a fun concept, but because it has an overall good vibe that is in many ways reminiscent of how I felt when I 1irst read Morenatsu years ago UwU
I was curious how xa'll'd handle the NSFW scenes, and I was not left disappointed in any way~ ^^_ a lot of VNs try to stretch out sexy moments like this, maybe even exaggerate them, and as a writer, I do the same, but xou guys did a great job with not just keeping them realistic enough to be lifelike, but also graphic enough to not fall short of pleasing the audience~ :p
I was sad when reading that our time in Cor will be cut short by a few days, but I'm starting to feel that "Completion" feeling with this last update, so I can understand why xou guys made that decision :)
Thank xou sooo much for all the hard work xou guys have put into Cor, this VN always invokes such good vibes for me! n///n
Oh, and, by the way... That icecream scene? "O_O omg...
Dang, that IS high praise for us, since we wanted to do a similar feeling, give a positive view of things while approaching some other subjects. I really appreciate hearing that ^^
Another thing I'm really glad to hear about, since I was slightly
veryworried about that, but I did the best I could and I'm very proud of the end result. I'm very happy to hear it was worth it.Overall, we're happy to hear you're enjoying it~!
The update is so freaking incredible and the story so far is very phenomenally crafted! Well done! My favorite character has got to be Gus, literally irresistible personality!
I also wanted to point out a major bug in the gallery where the new CGs are missing even after you've seen them.
That's all I wanted to say!
Great work, Team Ether!
Glad to hear you're enjoying it! Thanks for letting us know, it's really appreciated ^^
Right, it's not really a bug since I kind of forgot to update the gallery too whoops. Will be fixed soon along with the .apk version c: Again, thanks a lot for letting us know!
I'm happy to hear it's nothing serious, and I appreciate the response. :D
I can't wait to see what's next for Cor and possibly beyond that. Cheers!
This game is perfect！！！
i love it, the only visual novel that i want to play more, i'll be waiting excited to the nexts chapters
i also tell to my friends to play it, i love this visual novel.
just read through day 6 and omg Robert is so precious I love him and want to protecc him always
Making a new comment a year later, just to write down my thoughts:
I can't even truly describe how much I love Cor. The way it handles the dynamic of the friend group, the fun times as well as the arguments. It feels very realistic and nuanced. It all makes sense. The characters are unique and pretty expressive, with layered personalities. I love them all! There were several moments throughout this VN where I stared at my screen wide-eyed, thinking "Damn, this is great!". I really like the pacing too. Throughout the first few days it clearly hints at something deeper, but it doesn't drag out the mystery. Things become clear as the plot reaches a climax.
Cor is definetly up there for me, in terms of favourite FVN. It just really resonated with me on a personal level. I love the general vibe of wholesome and fluffy. It's such a feel-good VN and I'm here for it. Every scene is a joy to read through >w<
About the art, it's simplistic but pleasant. It might not be the best art there ever was, but it has a personal flair. I honestly like it, the poses and faces are as expressive as the characters themselves.
Sorry it took me so long to reply! But thank you very much again! ;w; I'm really happy that it resonated with you that much, and I hope the future updates will be just as enjoyable ^^
As for the art, I always love when people tell me that, since I love drawing expressions and showing personality through the poses and stuff. Hearing that it has that effect on people is a huge compliment, so thank you <3
Is it still being worked on? It has a cute art style.
It is! It just takes us forever due to life happening, but we're continuing when we get a chance ^^ And thanks~!
I'm really looking forwards to the update
Ever since I got that update notice I cant stop double checking for the update lol
Any updates?
Actually, yes! The middle update to fix and improve the first six days is almost ready and it's definitely being released at some point during this month! And I'll make a devlog explaining what's been going on when I have enough free time, but, long story short, with some help... Day 7 won't take too long either~!
is there update schedule?
Sadly not yet, since I'm still working on the CGs of Day 7, plus fixing stuff from previous Days so things read better (plus I'm back to working again lol)...
That being said, Day 7 is fully written, which is the largest part to do, so hopefully we won't take too long!
that is an amazing news and good luck with your work
If im being honest there is nothing i can praise you guys for.. because everyone in the comments haas already said them but I fell in love with this VN after day 1 and have been following the updates ever since and I cant wait for more material from you guys 10/10
A very good VN; I was scrolling through the deepest results of what I searched and found this. I admit, I didn't play it yet for a week after installing it, but it was really worth it when I tried. The first 2 chapters broke my sleep schedule hahaha..
I wasn't used to the art at first, I'm an artist so it's the first thing I notice. Although, I think the artstyle of the characters is very cute. And the background style is perfect, it has this crayon-y texture and it looks dreamy, it's perfect because I can imagine Robert, the MC, has this vibrant yet nostalgic look and feeling to the world.
I really like the story because the pacing doesn't bore me, I don't like it when a single event is written in very long paragraphs. I also didn't expect to like ALL the characters, they were written so well (although Gus is my fav, sorry a bit biased since hes just so chill and cool, his design is so cute, and im chasing for him). Especially with Hector's improvement, he's not just this stereotypical nerd character, he made me love him after what he did to Mike and Rob. I think that Hector has one of the best character developments in the story, I can really see his connection with the group improving greatly. It's unusual for me to connect emotionally with a story, yet Cor made me care for ALL the characters.
I'm excited for the update. And I feel bad I couldn't share this game to my friends, I'm a private guy haha..
Anyways, great VN and had a nice experience, and I'm kind of thinking rn, I wanna make a fanart on this at some time..
Remember that sleeping is important, Cor will be there for when you wake up ^^
Thank you very much for your high praise, especially regarding the characters, it's inspirational to help us keep doing our best! And don't worry, sharing the game with others is appreciated, but not necessary, we're aware we're not for everyone.
If you end up doing fanart, feel free to send us a DM on Twitter or tag us! We'd love to see it!
I loved day six the realisation and change Robert has done is quite inspiring and actually gave me a lot to think about with my life which I really appreciate thank you:)
The new character development between Mike and Faust, Gus and the rest of the group is beautiful and makes me so happy.
And quick note the aspect of Jacobs spirit looking over Robert with occasional dialogue prompts between the two was a good addition in my opinion.
Anyway keep up the great work as always and I'll be excited and waiting for more:)
We're happy to hear you liked Day 6! Hopefully we can help other people with this story, and hearing it inspired you fills me with a lot of joy ^^ Thank you for letting us know!
rare for me find vn were i get so emotionally invested.
I really hope you can put Gus into your suitcase to go back home
Ah, yes, the "Suitcase" ending. You get it by making space for Gus by throwing away all of Ed's comics (impossible)
Glad to hear you're enjoying it so far!
The VN will have 10 days instead of 15 ?
That just means that I'll get the best ending with my furry husbandos much sooner <3
I can't wait to see how the story will progress !
That's a very good mentality to have! We'll make sure those days are packed with content ^^
We re-uploaded the updates to fix an error where the faces of two characters disappeared in the beginning of a CG. Whoops! It shouldn't be a problem anymore <3
God Mike and Faust's interactions make me want a poly route with them so bad,,, they're all so sweet and Robert is an even cuter twink thrown in the mix lmao
Honestly I totally agree with this, it would be so cute
This story is really imperfect but I must tell you, your story is in my top favourites. I knew right after I started to read it in November of 2020, like the visuals of the characters are "weak", but I had a feeling it's something special. Fuck, who needs brainless Bara novel when you have Cor?
Anyway, I just realised today why your story is so great and it's because your own world. It's your own desire and the reason why you are so good at it is a bit of a blur to me, but it feels like you are an other-wordly visitor.
This is why your imperfect story is just perfect. It's about the desires to escape to another great world and this is what I want to.
I don't think it's as planned as others mentioned, like because of the bg and anything, it's simple, the story is your view. You selected the right bg's by your feelings. Everything is in match. Your masterpiece is just gives the "calm" vibes because it's, I dunno how should I put it in words... What I want to say is, I don't think you stress it. It has it's own natural laws and this is why I describe it as "calm". No rush, no hurry, everything has its time. I want more. ♡ Man, I always knew this is a special one, but this is the second or the third story what gave me the biggest chills on my spine. I missed to sleep with Mike though.
Thank you so much for the genuine words! I'll never get tired to read people's thoughts.
I'm definitely remembering "an other-worldly visitor" and "imperfect is just perfect" and putting them on my wall, I'm absolutely happy to hear this. I always wanted to create my own little world that I could share with people, and make stories in it. Hopefully, I'll improve overtime, but I'm just happy that people are enjoying this one already. Really, I hugely appreciate it ^^
I'm glad to hear that it gives you those vibes, because calm is definitely one of the things I wanted to transfer with this story. It's ok to take a break sometimes after all.
Mike will be more available soon, that I can promise lol
Sweet words, thank you too. :) It always fills my heart with joy if I can make somebody happy. :) But I may have a bit of a mean request. At this visual novel, please don't improve, because you will lose it's magic and this is the last thing I want to. The art style also has it's "icon" to the game.
I wish I could work on mine vn too, I just can't stop focusing on my draw-style, but still I can't stand the feeling if it's not the best of me, I will never improve to the level I want to because I will feel like it's never enough what I can do. But certainly, nice stories always make me to gather my hopes and the will to try again. :)
So,.. wow. Really wasnt expecting the story to go where it goes, when I first decided to read it. My first thoughts were hummm this art work is odd, not sure I like it but maybe the story is good / better.
Then I started reading and right away you can just tell there is alot going with the subtext of all thats not being said. I was right, I think. The story really is alot better than the art. But actually maybe there's a reason the art is the way it is. With writing this good, there is no way they just settled for "whatever" art could be had at hand.
The story continued to pull me in, and the art becomes "comfortable." Its like a touch stone, something cute and light to counter the ever growing depths of feelings the story and the characters are experiencing. But honestly by the end of the currently available content, I realize even the art work isnt enough to keep the tears from rolling down my face.
I have come to the conclusion that the artwork is actually a purposeful facade. Its meant to lull you into not taking things seriously, into thinking this is going to be something cutesy and fun, so you dont see how deep the water is, until your drowning in the tears. I'll be honest I found it to be extremely effective.
I have to admit, this is a very interesting take for me, because, in a way, you're right in that I "settled" with my style instead of trying to aim for one more usual in these kind of VNs, and I did it with a specific intention, but it's also not the one you stated there, since the idea was to just "give it a shot", take it as a chance to learn more ^^
That being said! I'm very glad to hear it caused that impression to you, it's a really interesting way for me to see it or even play around with. Thanks for letting us know!
We hope you continue to enjoy Cor in general!
Awwww Im sad that I was wrong in my take on How the art work came to be the way it is. But it honestly did have that effect on me. It really grows on you, and the juxtaposition between the style and the story, imagine for a moment (if your old enough to know what im talking about) Big bird, cookie monster, and the gang taking the places of these characters (aside from a very few and short AOish moments, honestly the rest of the story could work with those characters too.) They are characters you are comfortable with, and Imagining them having suffered through things, and currently trying to work through such adult situations really just really brings home how heart crushing it is, and how down to earth and legitimately real it is to have these discussions with each other, be there for each other.
Either way Im seriously invested in your story. The tears are real but they are worth it.
Ok, I'm officially a fan of this take. I love the way you just described it, and it made me so happy and so proud of using this artstyle for this story. Thank you so much! More will definitely be coming very soon, hope you enjoy it ^^
In the last two days, it took me fourteen hours to play through the current flow of this game. The main thing I played was the Gus plot line. Of course I play slowly, so it took me a little longer.
The first thing that attracted me to play this game is the unique art style of this game, a kind of childhood painting out of the feeling. I personally like this style.
The second point is about the theme of furry
Deep play this game, I found that the game plot to my feeling is very deep, each character's personality characteristics are different. I personally like Gus, the characters are very well drawn. In the fourth day of the plot, Gus expressed the feeling of abandonment back then, immersive, playing also expressed great sympathy for this.
Finally, I look forward to the next ten days of the game's plot direction, and look forward to the game updates after.
The above comments are machine translation, my personal English level is not very good. So may not be able to read my comments (￣ω￣;)
Hello! It's alright, practice makes perfect, and it's honestly pretty good!
Cor is supposed to be a story that requires no rush, so always take your time when playing it!
We're glad to hear you're enjoying it so far, and we hope the next updates do that too! Thanks for playing and taking your time to let us know!
I don't personally read a whole lot of visual novels but I can easily say this is my favourite one, the art style is nothing next gen but is great and honestly quite homily, the set up and continuing story is fantastic, it's a mix of being emotional, chill, engaging and just very interest capturing and finally and in my opinion the best part, the characters there dialogue, personalities and different paths are there own form of art, Hector reserved but excited, Mike outgoing yet understanding, Gus foolhardy yet sensitive, Faust stern but considerate, Edward thoughtfull but anxious, overall its a beautiful way to make characters (My personal fav is Gus) and of course the y/n of the game Robert the way he was designed is in itself quite intriguing making such a emotionally driven character that can portray a variety of emotions that are so fitting for them no matter what decisions get made and showing his flaws in small doses combined with back story that builds up on itself after time and other interactions and choices to keep the pace of enjoyment but also seriousness, which despite many people trying and failing to pull off in a successful manner here it just seems in the right place.
Side note:I do love the involvement of unique abilities within the in story world and characters but having it used as a occasion thing instead of a gigantic part of the novel was honestly the right way to go well done!
Anyway that's it sorry for being so damm long I just wanted to express how I feel about this vn, you lot are doing a fantastic job keep it up I do understand motivation is usually a once in a lifetime kind of thing to have but your still getting through it and I can't wait till the next update have a great day folk!
Thank you very much for your kind words! And sorry that we took this long to reply to you, it's been a busy month.
Yes, the personal powers are something that are part of everyone's life, but it's not going to be the focus of this story. It's just something that exists, and that's it. Won't get more relevant than it has been in this last update.
We hope you have a great day too!
Don't worry about it I'm glad you did take the time to read this and I'm sure this month would have been exhausting but you continue to push through, I've read the update and am up to my heels in excitement keep your work going it's amazing and so are you guys:)
I don't read many VNs but I made an account to say this one is probably my favorite. Exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for! It's so good and I hope more people find it.
I meant to leave a comment here a while ago, since I did end up playing through all the content available (a couple of times), and I really enjoyed all of it. I have a few peeves with the writing/characterization, but they're honestly quite insignificant, and I could see how some of those elements I didn't quite love serve to either set the groundwork for future developments, or keep the pacing of each route more manageable in terms of how relationships evolve over time.
It's very refreshing to have a cast of characters where everyone is likable in a distinct way. It's rare for me to find a VN where I can clearly tell "yeah, he's definitely not my type", yet still feel compelled to know more about them and be friends with them, whether to see how they'll act as their feelings change, or how the group dynamic might change in the long term, since one of the most enjoyable aspects of Cor is seeing these characters interact with each other, care for each other and share their experiences, be them joyful or otherwise.
On top of that, and on a more personal note... it was hard not to feel a certain connection with the setting and with Robert, having strong feelings of nostalgia for seaside towns, and relating to him for a number of reasons, among other things that made me feel quite immersed while I was reading.
All this is to say that I'm already missing Cor, so I've been writing a dumb self indulgent Mike fanfic for a while just to fill the void while I wait for an update :x
Keep up the good work!
Hello! Thank you very much for your thoughts, they're super appreciated ^^ Feel free to tell us about those peeves if you want, since we're aware there's room for improvement.
We're also really happy to hear about that, since, while Cor is a dating sim and those things will happen, it's also a friendship journey, and we want that to count even in other routes, and not only with Robert, so hearing "he's not my type" and see people are still interested in them is one of the highest compliemnts someone can give us. Thank you <3
As for the fanfic, I don't know about everyone else, but I'm definitely curious, so if you ever want to share it, I'd love to give it a read!
Overall, we'll post a devlog in a few days since it's been a while, but all this support is really helping us moving forward with this project. We thank you all for this~
Regarding my peeves, I do think they're not all that relevant since they're elements that have their place in the story one way or another. One of them is how every character seems to enjoy physical intimacy from the get go, and it comes off a bit artificial to me how everyone ends up wanting to cuddle with Robert from day 1, even when it's something unusual for them, specially with Hector not being too much of a physical person, but I can see that being somewhat necessary to better homogenize relationship development across the different routes, to some extent, which also makes sense considering they're not gonna stay in Cor for an indefinite amount of time.
Another peeve of mine was the introduction of powers, though it's not much an issue when I consider the possibilities they present for future events, and while I do think they'd be better off in a different story focused on the more supernatural side of their world (along with the miracle caves and whatnot), I don't really mind them as long as they're there mostly for flavor and don't slow down the pace of the story, as in, not replacing relationship development time with long exposition segments or something like that.
Other than that, there's only a few things I can think of, like Hector suddenly doing such a good psychological intervention, which for a while felt like an excuse to bring him into the spotlight, since he hadn't had a more serious plot-relevant scene just yet, but it still made sense for him to act the way he did.
Oh, and I did find the "fanservice scenes" on day 3 a bit odd for Faust in particular, the heat transferring thing seemed a bit out of nowhere, and while Hector's was a bit much, it still felt in-character, just showing a more reckless side of him, so it's mostly Faust's that felt a bit off to me.
Anything else I could think of regarding criticism would probably be just a small nitpick, like me wanting Ed to not wear his beanie once in a while cuz I really like how his hair looks 😌
I wouldn't really share my fanfic since, for the most part, I consider it too self indulgent and NSFW (aka a bit trashy lol), but it's been fun to write while waiting for an update, it's helped me realize that there are many ways the story and its characters could go, since I've been considering many things that are already in the story, even if only mentioned briefly, like Mike's family, Rob's relationship with Jacob, Faust's personal goals and desires, the things Gus has done while Rob and Ed were away during all those years, their lives at Morelin... among other things that I've enjoyed coming up with, and a couple twists I have yet to write.
It's also been a very good excuse to gush about my favorite characters in a more meaningful way, with Mike being my fav at the moment.
That being said, I'm very excited to see whatever's coming in the future, and I'm glad to know we're getting a new devlog soon, so I'll be waiting patiently. Thanks for the hard work and do stay safe!
Thanks for your thoughts, really! I understand those points, although I'm glad most of them still make sense even when they happen.
I can confirm that the power thing is mostly a flavor thing to add to my own world (and because, ideally, I'd like to continue working on other stories after Cor). While it has some relevancy, as it's something that exists, it's never going to be the main point of this story in particular.
As for the beanie, I will definitely consider it in a future update, so, when you see that happen, it'll be because of you c:
Overall, thanks for taking your time telling us about your thoughts, and stay safe too!
AHHHHH!!!! YES! I really love a story with themes of trauma/mystery/terror. Updates may be slow, but I'll patiently wait for them. Thank you!
might be spoiler!
one thing that not poiler tho is that this game is really good
god it hard to tell who dom who sub who top who bottom XD if you have clue pls tell me i want to be perfectly prepare
Thank you very much! As for the question, I'm afraid I can't give that up yet, but the characters will give you hints or directly tell you overtime if
whenit actually happens ^^P̶l̶e̶a̶s̶e̶,̶ ̶l̶e̶t̶ ̶R̶o̶b̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶c̶h̶o̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶b̶o̶t̶t̶o̶m̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶ ̶l̶o̶l̶
i will be waiting
\(0_0)/ >stare<
Goodness folk are so down bad 🤣
Can't blame them tho
I have a question for the very talented developer of this great game : Are all the characters available as romance routes that Robert can pursue, or is it only Gus ?
Thank you very much for the compliment~ As for the answer, all the characters will be available as romance routes. All you have to do is make sure you spend the most time with them and, soon in the future, you'll be in their route!
Thank you for your answer. I'm glad to know that everyone has their respective routes.
I can't wait for Day 6. Your game is just that good <3
This game is really interesting! The characters in the game are unique and have their own unique characters, which is one of my favorite reasons! Another reasons is that I like Mike very much. The story between him and Robert is very interesting, especially Robert and Mike holding hands on the bus. I look forward to their development in the future^^
Such a good work is free. Thank you so much! I sincerely hope that this work can prosper day by day. If the update is slow, it is necessary to ensure the quality. In fact, it is better to update faster (^▽ ^ *)) In addition, I wish you a happy New Year! (is it time to update the log)
I'm surprised how much I fell in love with Cor. As of writing this comment, I'm only halfway into day 3.
The characters are unique and expressive, while also feeling natural. The group dynamics are a joy to read. I especially like the hints at something deeper. This VN is such a fun ride and there's never a boring moment! The writing is really high quality.
The art is simplistic, but pleasant. Some of the arms and hands look a bit weird, but it's not a big deal for me personally. The sprites have as much personality and expressiveness as the writing itself.
I'm also really glad that the protagonist is distinct, and not one of those passive "blank slate" protagonists, as the commenter before me said it.
I wish you guys best of luck in developing this charming VN. Take all the time you need! I know it's not easy. Nobody is mad if it takes time between new builds. We're happy if you keep us updated. I hope this will grow a bigger following, because this is one of the better furry VNs. Thanks for making this and good luck! uwu
First of all, thank you very much! Those are definitely words that pushes us to try harder, it's really, really appreciated ^^
I know the art is not the highest quality, but, in a way, I made the decision to go into this project with my own artstyle, even if I knew it would push away some people (nothing wrong with that, I get it). Cor is a bit of a personal story of mine, though, so it woud have felt wrong to get someone else to do the assets, even if they'd end up looking better (although I'd say different, but... You know what I mean lol). Besides, it's a good chance for me to improve in that aspect, as long as people don't mind too much~
We're really glad to hear about the characters feeling complex, because that's absolutely where we wanted to nail it. It's been really encouraging to see people taking them seriously when needed and enjoying them. It's really humbling~
As for the time and Patreon, we hugely appreciate it. We'll still try to get things done a bit faster, but we know we're not being rushed, and we hope we can make each update worth it as a result <3 Also, we never wanted to make Cor as a monetary product. The only reason Patreon is up is in case people REALLY wanted to support us so we could occassionally hire some help here and there. We've always tried to make that clear, the game will be produced with or without money, that's for sure ^^
Overall, sorry for the long reply, but there were a few points I wanted to respond to, and it's highly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to play it and let us know how you feel about it~!
Oh please, your Art are fine but what draw us to Cor is How high-quality story are! Keep it up, I am enjoying this Vn so far.
bruh your art style is one of the reasons i love this vn so much, too many vns go for the usual hot dudes, i like this fluffy style so much
I'm usually not a fan of slice-of-life VNs, but I'm really liking Cor. The characters are all very enjoyable, but the biggest surprise was probably the MC. Not only did you successfully avoid the "blank slate" MC character problem, but Robert is probably my favorite character of the whole bunch, quirky, flawed, and cute! xP
Keep up the good work!
I would also like to report two "mistakes" (I think?):
- If you share a room with Edward, on Day 4 at a certain point you enter the wrong bedroom. It happens when the narrator says "I silently enter the room, not sure if Ed fell asleep... [etc.]"
- If you sleep on the couch, at a certain point the other characters offer you to switch places if you ever get tired of it. All but Hector, who says he'll fight for his spot.
Later, when the MC thinks about asking one of the others to switch places, he thinks that Hector would be the most enthusiastic about sleeping on the couch. This passage was slightly jarring to read: Hector was the only one who specifically did not offer.
Damn, that is high praise, thank you very much!
The room error is one that has been there since the previous update and I completely forgot to fix it lmao, I'm definitely keeping it in mind for the next one. As for the other one, I see what you mean, and you're right. I don't remember exactly when that happens, but I'll definitely look it up.
Again, thanks a lot for reporting these! It's hard to keep track to everything, so mistakes are bound to happen, this helps me fix them next time ^^
