Arches.png

Overview:
A couple visit Echo to do some paranormal investigating, the town now abandoned five years after the mass hysteria. Despite this, something evil still lurks in the town, evil enough that it's kept the horrors alive.
Arches is a standalone story that takes place after the events of Echo

Arches is a horror story and can be an emotionally intense experience that may not be for everyone. Themes of drug addiction, mental illness, and abuse are explored, along with descriptions and imagery of violence. Please consider your mental well-being before downloading.​

As hard as it may be to believe, Echo (the game this is a sequel to) was an emotionally grueling, traumatizing roller coaster of suffering. Honestly, Echo barely even fits on this site as there was practically PG-13 levels of sexual content, instead it was all about the suffering and death and despair.

Think more Silent Hill 2 in VN form, where there were occasionally things that were sexualized but usually in a disturbing way.

Outside of Book of Lust and Automation Story are there any other non-gay furry games?

Asking here coz anyone downloading this one is likely to know.

Although they fit the same horror genre, Arches is building up as early as build 2 to be a better horror experience than Echo was. The smaller cast and focus on our two initial protagonists fits the setting that Echo never fully achieves.

First off, if you guys are new to Arches, try to check out Echo, the original game, which is at least finished, to get a full sense of the setting Arches is in. There's also the prequel VN for Echo which is Echo: Route 65, and a spin-off fan-service-y VN Echo: Benefits. Lastly, there's also The Smoke Room, which is currently still in development but is set many years before the events of Echo.

While Echo tries to ease you in to the tension of unresolved childhood feelings and unsolved mysteries, Arches wastes no time getting in the dark gritty horror that awaits you. This is one of the things that somewhat gave me mixed feelings for Echo in the beginning since I was expecting romance/horror with an emphasis on romance and not the latter. I was expecting even a full true good ending in lieu of my assumptions of it being a dating sim, but instead get a full on psychological horror experience. Which isn't bad, but definitely not what I expected to find.

That being said, if you've ignored the yellow text in the main post, this game will DEFINITELY contain dark and heavy themes involving drugs, death, mental illness, etc so be aware. The game at least makes it clear early on in the story, but should probably have warning tags on startup (which it doesn't) like other psychological horror games (DDLC, BFtD, etc). In any case, if you enjoy furry, gay, and horror, are comfortable with all three tags under the same game, and have read the warnings above, you'll be sure to have a fun time.

Definitely not a lot. And those that do contain straight content are usually predominated with gay content. Of those I can remember there's: Breeders of Nephelym (3D game), the Legend of Krystal games, Sexy Tails, Love Stories (linked is the Straight VN but beware there's a gay counterpart), and Dungeon Tail.

Maybe put a spoiler mask on? I literally have to skip you awesome review cause I haven't played them yet :LOL:


When I first found Echo I was just looking for some smut (which by that time don't even have any), but what a journey. The echo project constantly produce good quality games, finished games.

There is Furry Fury: Legend of the Twin Orbs, a sidescrolling adventure beat em up. It has lesbian stuff vs female enemies (you can only select a female character) but I don't think that's what you're referring to when ya say gay. There IS one scene where if you go into the men's bathroom you can find two guys humping in a stall but its clearly played for laughs and normally hidden.

Don't think it's on this site, but you can find it easily. (Also Book of Lust technically has gay scenes too, just definitely not the focus of development lol)

Who is producing all these gay furry VNs and why are there never any straight ones
Click to expand...
Many furries are either bisexual/gay themselves, or if they are straight, are fine with including gay options. Many furry women also enjoy gay stuff, so the market is pretty open.

But you can check any "furry" "gay" tagged game and find the question you ask be asked 50 times and get the same answer if you like.

Quick answer, there aren't many furry writers who are interested in making exclusively straight visual novels.
But if you are interested in changing that, you can do it yourself.

Facts and for the people who are interested in straight games they need to move along to that genre!!!
