Reading through EfV was a emotional roller coaster, and damn did it get to me (in a good way). It's intricate world building is oh so interesting and leaves me now with so many questions.. Gwin and Erianor grew on me and I felt their luck and their pain like it was my own. I really hope we get to find out, how their future will continue (there is so much potential left). Their story was/is so thrilling to read and left me glued to the screen for many hours. Having read EfV will stay in my memories for a very very long time.
I want to speak my thanks to everyone who had their hands in making this gem. Thank you so much!
This story has so many layers of complexity to it and I was hanging on to every word. I can't fully express with words just how much of an impact it had on me, I also love how things aren't sugarcoated. For better or for worse, what makes a story so engaging is those moments that really make you tear up, the moments that make you fearful. Very well done and I'm in agony waiting for updates on Silver Heaven. I'm very invested in this world and it's story.
Thank you so much, ShadreFanatic. So happy to know you're enjoying our VN's. We really did develop EfV with lots of love and it's full of details (including hidden ones) that haven't been discussed anywhere yet. This is only the beginning and every new piece of content we produce will add more context to EfV and the world of Shadre in general.
Ooh, hidden details... I'm intrigued. I'm more than happy to scour every sentence and every scene but maybe a little nudge in the right direction? As for the name, one of the few ways I can show my support. Hopefully I can do more than that eventually.
With what I've read so far, I'm super invested in the story. I honestly disliked Erianor at first but he is slowly growing on me. I hope Gwin finds out about his dad. Will probably add a follow up comment after I've read more. Also, thank you for making me cry during the first 2 chapters. -_-
Thank you for playing, Zeke! We hope you enjoy the rest of the VN~ We'll be happy if you post a message with your impressions after finishing the game.
UPDATE: just finished all 12 chapters. What I've asked for, has been answered. Through out the story it did make me think about and evaluate certain characters. My mind was definitely racing with many many possibilities and outcomes (some proven right some proven wrong) The end was beautiful, story telling was captivating to say the least. Hopefully we get to see what becomes of the the little raccoon and his maned partner. I'm an emotional person and imaginative reader. The team did well to describe events and I could feel the emotions, imagine it unfold as I read. which is literally what captivates me into reading. Thank you for breaking my heart and keeping it warm at the same time π. Hopefully there is a continuation to this story. Suprise us with what happens next β€οΈ
Again, thank you for playing, Zeke - and also for spending some of your time to share your impressions. We're very happy to know you had a great time with Echoes from Valeth.
Also yes, there is a continuation on the works, you can find more info here.
Reposting just reiterate how much this VN has touched my heart. Because that's exactly where something this came from. The world building that occurs as you get through it becomes more apparent. Until finally all the emotions come crashing through in the end. Already on my 3rd of it and it still gets me to tears. Even though there are some triggering dark parts here in there, please give it a try. You won't regret it
I can't even find words to explain how much I enjoyed this, it's the best VN I've read ever and I truly mean it. It almost made me cry at one point and damn does that mean a lot. Thank you so much for this experience, this VN is so underrated it should be at the top of itch and being talked about more. I sincerely hope that your next VN is going to be even better! (if its possible in general to make anything better) :)
Amazing VN! Will definitely be rereading this again in anticipation of the next one. Don't think i've gone through so many emotions while reading a VN like this before, hah!
This VN brings out a lot of psychology, both playing on the feelings of the person and reflecting the reading side of the reader. I really like this VN and it's the first VN that can't be predicted at all because it's a novel with twists and turns. and changes almost constantly in the story. From what I've read, there are 4 types of psychology that I can analyze.
- General Psychology
-Social Psychology
-Developmental Psychology
-psychologysex
I'm very thankful for making this vn for us. It has ideas for each character that reflects their role, but what I like most about this novel is the character's portrayal. The show is different from other vn's I've played. I don't know if there will be a sequel or not, but if there is, I'll be happy and eagerly waiting to read it.
PS: If my idea conflicts with anyone, I apologize at this point.
i made an account just to comment. This Visual nivel has a touching story with intense moments that truly bring out your feelings so hard that i even teared up a few times. It also contains handsome characters, all of which have a unique personality. It is simply impossible to express my feelings towards this story. I hate reading but i wanted to give this one a try, and i did not regret it. Everyday when i went out with my friends, i couldn't wait to get home and play Echoes From Valeth. The ending slightly did dissapoint me, but if what others claim there will be a sequel then the ending is just perfect for that. I really hope for a sequel, because this game will have me wondering for weeks what happened to the two lovers! I wait with great excitement!
Should I expect it to have a sequel?I want to know more about them in the future,It's really, really, really great visual fiction,I'm even willing to spend half a day and stay up late to finish it,the characters are very well shaped,the music is very appropriate,In short,I LOVE it.Their love,this VN.
I don't understand the ending. Did Erianor actually die? what happened to Gwin after the job? Is the ending intentionally a cliffhanger as to build anticipation for a sequel vn?
The team would like to thank you all for the kind comments and good vibes EfV has got lately.
We know Echoes from Valeth can be a tough read due to the hardship our characters must endure along the story, but we're very happy to have a mature audience who was able (like our MC's) to be strong and make it to the end, hopefully learning something positive from this journey - a journey full of darkness, but also lots of light.
Thank you all so much for being strong in the bad moments, for cherishing the good ones and for enjoying the story as it is.
( Might not be the best review because I'm not native English )
One of the BEST furry VN I've ever played. It had all the feeling together in every chapter, sadness, loneliness, infuriating, intense, romance, lust, happiness and much more.
First few chapters really stressed me out, put me through many stages of grief and rage. Next few chapters really showed how evil and psycho those bully really are, but after sometime, things are settled and continued to focus on main story.
Talk about Gwin ( Main character ), his character's development is really impressive. You can tell how much he have changed since him and Erianor have met, and when he found out the truth about himself. ( It broke me into pieces )
Another thing is, this VN is just straight up story telling, no choices, which I think it fits well, since this game is heavily story focused. ( Or I'm just too lazy to move my curser and make a decision LOL )
The ending left me a bit hanging ( again, made me emotional ) but overall was great, story, characters, BGM and sound effect [ I highly recommend to check all sounds settings, since there was a sound effect in a... that scene(s) ]
This is outstanding. I hadn't played a kinetic novel before so I was a bit unsure if I would like it at the beginning, but the setting is interesting, the characters are compelling, and the overall quality of the game is higher than most visual novels I've come across.
I really felt for Gwin, and the first few chapters drew me deep into the story and brought out more emotion than I was expecting. The fact that he makes his own choices rather than mostly serving as an insert or vehicle for the player makes him feel more real as a character. I really hope that the development of the next novel goes well and that we see more of Gwin's journey.
I just finished the story and gods what a ride. This sky rocket on my top10 so fast!!! I need more I need so much more. My only snip is the sour ending. I loved the pep talk but I rooted so much for Gwin and Erianor and that ending hurted so much.
Please don't make me wait so much. Love to the team from another maned wolf <3
Without sounding too critical, and also understanding why the VN finished earlier than originally planned, the ending kinda left me wanting :/ there are so many things left unresolved, and so many ways in which the story could have developed.
I honestly love the concept of the entire VN, moreso the characters, and I could see it playing out just as dramatically as it started, so this ending felt... Hollow.
Again, this is NOT meant as an insult, just that I didn't find the ending to measure up to how amazing the rest of the VN is
Actually, we completed the VN as we originally planned. We have not shortened the story.
Echoes from Valeth is an introduction to the world of Shadre. It was always meant to be a relatively short story with this type of ending. This doesn't mean things are going to be left unresolved. If we end up developing new VN's they will be linked to Echoes from Valeth.
Oh! π― If this is part of a series then I completely retract my comment π xou guys have created such an interesting world, so knowing that xa'll hope to continue it is VERY exciting! π
Pleasantly surprised how this turned out! Can't believe I spent the whole day binging this VN and i liked it! Spoiler alert: I like how unapologetically evil these people are that they get what they deserve and I don't feel bad xD
I canβt say that the games with the Furry tag were especially interesting for me for many game years. But after testing this and a couple of other adult projects, I realized that the problem is not in the concept of Furry-games, but as always in the talent of developers.
From the very beginning, the game captures all the attention and emotionally involves the player. The first chapters are just a perfect picture of an endless circle of bullying, fear and helplessness.
The only drawback of this game is too high the level that it sets to make it impossible to get pleasure from weaker projects in the future. But I think that I can survive it.
On the other hand, it is obvious to me why this game cannot count on an excess of popularity. Most never walks in such ways and prefers not to look at their own real reflection. Still, I hope that the project will be completed, because there are people for whom it is really important.
Yea i think most dropped the VN after it got accused of glorifying the Ra word. Later on in the story I think that's kind of hilarious. But then the devs got accused of the P word so it's a case of, even if both turn out false, 99% of people will still ignore the VN.
Sucks cus it's very unique, I don't think any other VN has a revenge story like this one, or a MC that can commit sepuku to notself :P
The plot also seemeed like it just started, with the secret orgs, superhuman abilities etc
I could say a lot about this, but I do not want to create even more problems for the authors.
The observing step in this theater of the absurd is apparently a ban of the classic world literature. World literature of course will βsufferβ from the absence of such readers.
The whole time I thought that a dhole is like a different weird slur variation of an a-hole, then I googled it an it's a species of an canine ;_; I'm dum
Jesus Christ what a story! the emotions! the vibes! such a great mix with it all so far, my favorite scene rn is when Gwin picks up the knife and says "it's knifing time!" and knives all over the place.

1000/10 recommend to play this game!!!
I completely and totally agree with you ^^
Amazing, what if a poor Furry got with Furry Raiden
Great Story, wish there was more but still great nevertheless
This is outstanding. I hadn't played a kinetic novel before so I was a bit unsure if I would like it at the beginning, but the setting is interesting, the characters are compelling, and the overall quality of the game is higher than most visual novels I've come across.

I can't recommend this highly enough.
I need to know what happened to erianor pls i am begging
I just finished the story and gods what a ride. This sky rocket on my top10 so fast!!! I need more I need so much more. My only snip is the sour ending. I loved the pep talk but I rooted so much for Gwin and Erianor and that ending hurted so much.
Please don't make me wait so much. Love to the team from another maned wolf <3
I hope Erianor is ok from his mission...
Be strong Gwin

This game deserve much more publicity! Its a great story and i enjoyed it to the fullest!
SPOILERS (I guess?)
Is it bad that I was hoping for a more descriptive rape scene? "^^_
It is a very good VN!
Honestly loving the last few updates, binged them and didn't expect things at all
You're most welcome, dude.
I give a 100 to this vn, I love the content, the story and the ost.
Thank you for your kind words!
BROOOOO!!!!! I didn't think that would happen in this update. I was expecting a revenge sex scene.
I read through the thing and was satisfied with it, but kind of fell away from it after a while. I'm interested in the new content.
those plot twists...
I. am. in. love.
Jesus Christ what a story! the emotions! the vibes! such a great mix with it all so far, my favorite scene rn is when Gwin picks up the knife and says "it's knifing time!" and knives all over the place.
good stuff, pls keep it up!
