Absolutely phenomenal! Was recommended via Reddit and so I played it. I did not regret it whatsoever. This Vn is genuinely something that is worth a actual indie animation or perhaps a comic.
The story is very engaging and gripping with almost an actual movie like quality. It keeps you guessing and wanting to know more about the character's and their struggles along with the lore of land in general. I could be prejudiced because I love horror and crime which are both in this vn but I would reccomend this to general vn players. The art while rough around the edges still manages to even make me shiver and feel my skin crawl when it came to certain horror scenes.
REVIEW:
The story is amazing so far, for what is the current build… this needs more credit than it’s given. I.. also felt more immersed at the fact that it had my name as the MCs, and did some actions I would have in situations. But I’m sure that was a coincidence. I’m putting this above Adastra in my opinion, those that come after me for zed opinion… Get a life. I give this a 10/10 for what is done..
AND NOW.
A Message for people who are impatient:
Please.. be patient when it comes to projects like this, these things take a lot of time to develop, get the art for the BG’s & characters, and not even including the story itself..
I’m more than certain that it stresses out P.B.P when he keeps seeing people asking for an update or assume the project is done & canned. So.. please.. be patient. I understand that you want the update because.. whether it be.. you lose interest, or you just assume the project is canned.
(not saying all of you are.. I just don’t want people to end up leaving and then THIS DOES GET CANNED.)
And one last thing for P.B.P…
Don’t take my review as expectations to live up too, write the story that you are wanting to tell, it doesn’t matter if it drops in quality halfway. The story will still have our interest regardless.
as a VN dev myself, I definitely understand why it’s taking so long. It took me a year to update my own VN one time, mainly because stuff kept bogging me down, but also because there was so much to do.
Bro, telling an impatient person to be patient is like telling an angry person not to be angry🤣. I get what you mean tho and I agree. The idiot that I had the displeasure of reading complaining that it's hasn't been updated since 3 months. Hurts my eyes. Like if the dev doesn't have a personal life and personal shit to deal with.
Me personally, I chose yes but it's your choice really, although if you wanted to have different scenarios or just go back, you could save right at the choice
So? Just let em cook. It's not as if you can't do other things in the meantime, lots of VNs have long dev times, it's going to come out and be more than worth the wait. Just chill my g
It's not abandoned by any means at all, work is going forward for it. There isn't a ton posted to the Itch page, but there is more info on the Patreon (not just for paid), Twitter, and Discord server if you want to keep more up to date on it!
You know.... It may be sick of me to want this, but.. I kind of want to know what would happen if Cody didn't kill the rat guy, and had his claws and teeth ripped off/broken.
So, as I wrote in my review, this game is very impressive. The feeling of mystery and horror are exceptionally done. It might even enter the collection of "For those holding a special place in my heart". However, I have a question: Can this FVN be considered an isekai or is it rather fantasy? To be honest it's been a while I read it. Hope you don't mind me asking.
I'm not gonna lie, this whole game interested me to my core. I had a boyfriend just like Eric: Nice at first, but showed his true colors over time. Miles is basically my dad, minus being called a fag. I crack jokes with my brother a lot about it, but he doesn't judge me. (I'm not gonna lie and say he doesn't tease me relentlessly about it. "When are you gonna bring someone new home?") And Mom and Dad get in on it too, occasionally.
Edit: After going through the whole story, and the life that Cody had, and the life that he has now, it raises more answers to my questions. I can say with confidence that this game did not disappoint me at all. Good job with this, and keep soldiering on.
Gotta say I didn’t expect that much from this VN, but now it’s definitely one of the best I’ve ever played since I’m really into horrors and darker stories. I usually don’t like when human characters are mentioned or appear in furry VNs but this one has actually turned the things upside down for me, it’s such an interesting idea of a human suddenly turning into an anthropomorphic animal and having to deal with it. After all, this concept seems really cool to me. Can’t wait for the next update!
This is dope! I really liked how realistic the writing is, the conversation between characters mostly. The plot got my reading for hours at once.. my eyes hurt right now but it's worth it lol
AMITW has definitely got to be one of my favourite VNs out there. Tackling the heavy and serious issues of ones own mental health and how it can impact everything as well as deconstructing the fantasies we have of being the vigilante who takes down the evil-doers, it does it well and in a realistic manner.
Cody's barely holding himself together through everything and the little part of "there's always the third option" is chillingly accurate. The story is incredibly compelling and I sincerely hope that you're able to keep things going and continue.
If you still happen to be interested, there's a way for you to play AMW on Android. Just install JoiPlay and the Ren'Py plugin, it should work. Questions? Write me a message.
A Masquerade in the Woods is my favorite horror FVN as of 2022, with one of the best intros and premises, because the setting is honestly a bit scary, in case the horror from the beginning stays constant throughout the rest of the game. There's something unsettling about a bunch of random people hunting down another, evil group without any proper equipment. But very cool, kind of like or exactly like vigilantes. You did a great job with writing and score, they complement each other well. I love how everyone has a different (eye) color and mask. It really adds something unique to the experience. Although it's hard to say what is going on an and where the story is heading, I'm thrilled to find out what happens next. The characters are all pretty normal, except Shepard as father figure of sorts. But I appreciate how they already have a common past and actual personalities. It means there's already memories to talk about in future dialogues. Also, Riot, his fate seems very important. He's most likely dead or... converted. What the antagonists were talking about sounded seriously suspicious and even ominous, foreboding. For some reason I don't think he's been seen for the last time. Anyway, I'm curious about one thing. Isn't Cody more or less a blank slate, unless he can fully recall his past life of course. Because that would mean we, as the player, could give him our own name (It's not a big deal at all by the way).
Thank you very much for making this game! A Masquerade in the Woods deserves far more attention, so I hope people will take notice.
AMW so far one of the best scary kinda creepy to me because my sona looks almost identical and everything in my bio has happed here lol (thats what creeps me out) but I truly hope your having fun making this it was a blast to read so far keep up the good work!<3

Не терпится увидеть продолжение, после прочтения не могу думать о чем-то другом.

Take it at your own pace. Rushing things never work out, and if you have a good community, they’ll understand. :3

like FR man, its bs, atleast I know how shit works when it comes to games :3c
Hey PackbePackin how it packin (going) ?
Wow… That was good.
Will there be an Android version
Good shit holy hell I loved everything about this. Another masterpiece in the fvn genre.
Same it was amazing and I loved the characters and story
Quick question am I allowed to make fan art of this?
Of course, and feel free to share it on the discord ^^
Happily
"Single"
what should i choose? yes or no?
Me personally, I chose yes but it's your choice really, although if you wanted to have different scenarios or just go back, you could save right at the choice
I don't want to be annoying but you wrote 3 months ago that update will be soon.
Just let em cook my dude
Yeah, but last his message here was 3 moths ago and it was that "the update will be soon".
So? Just let em cook. It's not as if you can't do other things in the meantime, lots of VNs have long dev times, it's going to come out and be more than worth the wait. Just chill my g
I know, but I seen many vn's dying in that way (by being forgotten) and I'm worried
It's not abandoned by any means at all, work is going forward for it. There isn't a ton posted to the Itch page, but there is more info on the Patreon (not just for paid), Twitter, and Discord server if you want to keep more up to date on it!
When is the next update
Is there an update frequency? :(
Update :(
Soon ^^
I know the answer should be obvious but will there be a route for River?
No plans for a River route, but she will have a big presence in other routes ^^
Hello! is this update for the public and or for patreon? (asking cuz i downloaded the new upload and there isnt anything new)
All updates are public, this one starts Shep's route ^^

Are there any plans for an Android version?
It's something I'd love to do in the future, but there are currently no plans for it
How tall is Giant?
In relative terms, about a head taller than Cody ^^
updateee timeee i miss the red meanie
woaa
Welcome back!! Stay safe author!!
Hopefully this game will have android build in the future.. :>:
You know....
It may be sick of me to want this, but..
I kind of want to know what would happen if Cody didn't kill the rat guy, and had his claws and teeth ripped off/broken.
Very bad things.

To be honest it's been a while I read it. Hope you don't mind me asking.
Happy New Year~!
I'd say it's fair to classify it as an isekai ^^ And thank you for the nice comments <3
Happy New Year!
Уважаемый разработчик, не могли бы вы, пожалуйста, перенести этот роман на свой телефон, если да, то большое вам спасибо!

Sorry about your eyes, happy to hear you like it tho ^^

Thank you so much for reading! ^^ Really glad you enjoy it
So I can't read this on Android?
Yep looked interesting tho
Unfortunately not, but an android port is something I want to look into for the future
If you still happen to be interested, there's a way for you to play AMW on Android. Just install JoiPlay and the Ren'Py plugin, it should work. Questions? Write me a message.
Have fun~!
So excited for the update!
When is the next update? I got hooked onto this.
Hello is the update going to be soon?
Will it work on joiplay
As far as I'm aware, it doesn't :/ An android port is something I'm looking at tho
Will there be any sexual content
Possibly in the future, but AMW is not a sex focues novel
I hope this project is still alive. This VN is one of my favourites
Alive and kickin' :3
The only flaw is that it makes people want more of it.
Haha thank you ^^
