Thank you everyone for your kind words and support! I’m so glad you’re all getting something out of this book. It almost led to an existential crisis trying to write it
, so I’m thrilled it’s resonating!
Absolutely fantastic story, and I’m so happy with the ending I got. Thank you so much for this wonderful story!
Fantastic story. I went for the bittersweet kind-of ending where the MC chose to become the owner of the company with Devon and stayed in reality while saying a heartfelt goodbye to the Fox.
For me, I think that’s the best ending I could’ve wanted. The MC finds a new purpose in his life vs the boring monotone life he had in the beginning and he’s living happily with his mom being cured and with Meera as a potential LI as the Fox continues on their journey to find their next tail. With a chance and hope that they meet again someday.
Overall, a great and satisfying read.
Found you wrong pronouns:
Also, I don’t remember any fire. I think some variable got its wires crossed here.
This game is a ride and you did an amazing job. ![]()
Just amazing? Personally, I think it’s insulting to make such an understatement like that
Just read through this and had to give major props. Thank you for creating such a beautiful story.
First, hello! I’m new to the forum and Kitsune is the first book/game I wanted to praise. I’ve read some games from Hosted or COG before, but this one… Words cannot describe how much I love it. Here’s my very short review I wrote on one of Discord servers while talking about this particular title, and to be precise, when I ended it:
"Aaaaaand… Done!
It was great, I did not cry, but the tension I felt in my chest gradually started to shrink when I finally understood everything this game tried to tell me. The love story was great (at least the first out of four paths), the story was, at the beginning, quite cliché but started to be very interesting very quickly and I loved the characters. Since english is not my native language I did not fully understand the epilogue and maybe that was the plan. To make this game as much convoluted as possible and to leave the reader some thoughts and questions, but not with full answers. Solid, and I mean SOLID 9/10 that makes me want to make an account on forum and just tell the author how much I love this work. I doubt there will be a second game in this universe, but… I don’t care. I’m just happy it ended the way it ended.
"
Thank you, the author. You made my days better and finally made me create an account on this forum despite playing those games a few years already. Good luck to you on your further journey. ![]()
One of the best stories I’ve read in a long time. Will be looking forward to our future work.
OH THAT’S BEAUTIFUL. What the hell! Oh my god!
That’s so prettyyyyy, do you post on social media? I would like to follow you!
I just recently purchased this story and it was amazing
and though I still can’t fully forgive our fox, I still love them
btw do someone knows how to romance the best friend? I’ve tried but failed multiple times ![]()
thank you!! ![]()
thx!!
I’m on Tumblr with the same username as here!
This gripped me more than any IF has in a long time. Going in, I went off a tumblr post by the author of The Passenger, who was recommending this, and I didn’t know what I was in for at all. I just figured it would have interesting characters but it’s wayyy bigger than that. I was sucked in and digested. I sacrificed nearly an entire night’s sleep for this and I didn’t even have a choice - I would have just stayed up thinking about it if I had denied myself playing it.
I’m genuinely in awe. I know I’m late to the party but either way, I wish more people were talking about this.
Honestly, one of the best stories I’ve read in a long time. I played it twice and I am still SO invested. Your name is actually a guarantee for me, I love both The Grim and I and the Evertree Saga. Now I’ll wait for Lux even more ![]()
This game is such a masterful example of how to use the medium of interactive fiction to sucker punch the audience with an unbelievably strong theme. Kitsune is honestly one of my favorite Hosted Games, I’ve never played anything with quite the same level of impact behind the endgame revelations. The setting and subversion of expectations is excellent.
“i trust rey!” i said, with joys. i was then shot 57 times.
i came on here only to make this joke. i shall be leaving again now BUT, thank you author. you changed my life with kitsune
So, I’m super late to the party (sorry) but I have to ask because I’ve been looking around and can’t find the info anywhere:
It seems as though in order to romance certain characters then you need to had a matching “goal / priority” you want to work on. For example to romance Dante / Devon I either need to make my “improve” goal either work or romance and for the nurse it’s family or romance. Am I correct about this?
Don’t know what you’re talking about, I’d trust them with my life.
I wish to express my gratitude to the author for making this. I fear I have a bias for stories involving kitsune/foxes, but my first playthrough was riveting to the point I completely lost track of time. It was compelling enough for me to do multiple playthroughs in the span of a few days, even. Being able to view the new Brown’s actions throughout the story in a different light certainly helped with replayability.
The climax of the story has stuck with me for a while. The message (or at least what I gleaned from it) has a lot of relevance to me, so perhaps that’s why. It’s left me feeling disquieted, but thank you nonetheless. The only real criticism I have is some actions not having any visible consequence; though I understand the narrative offers an explanation as to why for a vast majority of them. I am left wondering how the new Brown can completely revert their possession of the protagonist, but the old Brown couldn’t before he left his wife, though. Perhaps I’m missing something.
I also wish I could find a guide somewhere, since a few achievements from chapter ten and prior continue to elude me.
