Moontouched is promising to say the least. 

The animated CGs are stunning with their fluffy tails flapping behind them and their ears moving adding so much life to the story. Also, the postures and the fact that when you say they remove their clothes, they really remove them on the CG, that's impressive, really. 

The backgrounds are absolutely gorgeous, so realistic even in drawing and the color palettes are so comforting, very nuanced and alive. It seems like we are ourselves roaming the woods, and we were witnessing the beauty of nature. The nature sounds in the background add to that feeling. That's really appeasing. 

The writing is good, even if I spotted a few typos, but nothing too bad. The only issue I have is with the size of the font that is too small and so hard to read on a PC, but worse is the size of the Tooltip that is even smaller, so I have to strain my eyes to read so that's really uncomfortable and doesn't really motivate to read hours upon hours like this.

At first, I was quite disappointed that the demo didn't include the other romance-able characters bur fortunately, a presentation of them was offered at the end of the demo, which I am grateful for because I was so eager to meet them. 

So we have 5 male wolves from different clans : 

- Anoam : The Forsaken, our mentor and savior sort of, loyal, protective and a bit secretive too.

- Kirik : Friend and lover, a pup like us, a "brother" or playmate and probably our first sexual partner, a recently Moontouched. He's literally the most beautiful wolf I have ever seen with his "markings" on his forehead and his arms and chest. 

- Veolf : Tribute of Storms said to be "cocky and lighthearted while at rest, loyal and ruthless when called upon". Well, he has the type of personality I am totally crazy about, so he will definitely be my first choice. Plus he has a piercing, how cool is that! A shame he isn't as beautiful as Kirik in wolf form...

- Raithan : Tribute of Tides, too kind and tasteless for my liking according to his personality description, but to each their own like they say.

- Noakai : Tribute of Flames, he's all ferocity and anger so a hard shell to crack but can be promising...


All in all, I really enjoyed that demo, I wished for more because the lore is still a bit vague with all the clans and their history, but that's off to an excellent start. And the visuals are a wonder with sometimes first person or third-person POV depicted on the CGs and the angles are sometimes very fascinating, I quite enjoyed that part. 


Thank you so much for sharing this new game with us, I wish with all my heart that it will be achieved. And big up to the one who drew the landscapes and the animated wolves! Stunning!

The Bro, Megane, Daddy, Tsundere and the Bad boy. Amen


Joking. I'm sure they'll get more dimensional when we actually meet them. So far met 2 and like both of them..

Hah that's the line-up alright!

Thank you for such a robust review! I appreciate you giving a glimpse of the main 5 lads here for people to check out. I'm really glad you enjoyed your time with it Talyndra. Awooo

Visually: Stunning and awe inspiring
Writing: Well done
Characterization: Still too early to tell, but so far each character has individuality
Effects: tastefully done, adding wow factors to already master-work CGs... Could use a bit more variation in the effects, otherwise well placed

This seems to be the kind of VN that smashes through and will catch everyone's attention, even if personal tastes and what not may not align with the work. I have a feeling as this develops, it is going to be a talking point and reference for a lot of new VNs to come out in the future

9.5/10 (super impressive since its only a short demo) it is clear a lot of love was put into this VN

Thanks for the thoughtful review ZenerDeer, covered all the basics. I'm curious about what you mean by "more variation in effects", if you feel like sharing more!

!!!!!! POTENTIAL SCENE/CG SPOILER AHEAD !!!!



The warning has been given~

Being that this is a first build, and that I am sure you are still working with the effects and such, I did not mean what I said  in a bad way at all! (just making sure what I've said and what I am saying isn't coming from a mean critique point <3)

The effects that you have used so far have almost solely been the "ripple/ water droplet" effect with some minor variations such as a "sparkle glow" side effect added. Which are really well place and very powerful in their own right! But what I meant by "more variation in effects" was using a different main effect:

For example; and while it is just a suggestion feel free to ignore or steal from me,, when the fox appears, and the ripple effect shows the woman standing next to the fox, perhaps instead of a ripple, a light-ray transition starting from from the top "blinding" the viewer before dimming and revealing the woman, or perhaps because its in a forest, a leaf-gust transition (or even dirt, as POV is the MC on the ground... so his exhale could possibly disturb the dirt) where the gust causes the POV to lose sight for a moment because of leaves or because of a blink... Or even a ghostly apparition where the woman melds into the scene with ethereal styling...

I do not know the program that you use to create your transitions, and I am but a beginner with art in general myself, so my ideas come from what some of my friends have done with personal (non-furry) projects... So I am unaware of your technical skill with your programs, their limitations, and your experience/knowledge with all of the above. I do however hope this cleared up my comment, and was helpful in one-way or another

Also: I would like to apologize for the late reply, I have been attending the DENFUR con, and haven't been checking itch T.T
(and because I feel I need to, I would like to re-iterate that my comments/critique/suggestions are coming with the hope of being helpful, and not meant to be interpreted in a negative way! <3)

Frankly incredible I didn't expect to fall and discover a VN as animated and detailed as possible it's incredible I didn't expect that especially the sprites the animation of the characters/environment which are fluid and the menu which is animated and stylized with a background that is beautiful and the writing was really good you are a real writer the characters nothing to say Moontouched is the most detailed and animated VN of all the VNs combining world building this is the VN the most unique thing I've ever seen it was a great experience for a demo

 I can't wait to discover more in this world, it's really promising 

(PS I have 2 little favorites :D)

That's the perfect combination to be for what's to come >:)

The art is incredible, and so far the writing is very very good. I can't wait to see where this goes and I will definitely join the Patreon when funds allow!

At laaaassst

Here after playing through the demo. Blown away by the worldbuilding that you've done so far, it feels incredibly fleshed out, and also by the amount of detail and general quality that everything has in general, from the writing to the animations/sprites etc...

Can't wait to see more! Looks so so promising =D

(+1)

Thanks Nollel, more in the works!

Top dog marks across the board! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the insane amount of detail and work put into every aspect of this VN! 😁

The writing is really poetic and extremely well done. I’m a huge fan of using keywords to set up emotions or themes, and the way xou’ve written this story is absolutely phenomenal 😌

I’d also like to applaud how well xou’ve explained the lore. In no way do the many new words or phrases become confusing, which in itself is a major achievement πŸ™‚

The art is FANTASTIC, the interface amazing, and the pacing so freaking well done (even though we’ve barely touched the surface) πŸ˜‹

Superb work. Seriously. I can easily see this project taking the top spot as my all-time favourite VN 😁

(+1)

Aye thanks a ton for this feedback Phamyne, it's incredibly inspiring to me to know that people are enjoying it. I can't wait to push it even further!

Could I make a fanmade Chinese translation of your game? I really like your game , and I hope there could be more people who speak my native language could share the joy of  playing your delicate game.

(+1)

I've gotten a few inquiries about translations. I'm gonna take a little time to get some things in order and I'll get back to you!

Incredibly beautiful character designs and Backgrounds, and when we talk about backgrounds, just opening this game is like getting into gallery of the worlds masters of art. Really liked the sound design too, and ofcourse story is attracts well. So the demo and author definitely deserves more attention. This is what i wish for this project.

Thank you for that wish Too Kus (great name btw)
I owe the polish of the demo to my Patrons over on Patreon who have been supporting me for months while I worked on this. The goal now is to get a little more funding to hire some musicians and coders! We're on our way there for sure!

Thank you Nathaniel! It's cookin'

So, Moontouched. Well I really cannot hide my surprise with the sheer quality of this VN, Art, Sound and Prose immersed me like few other VNs can, like it felt I was really in a cold forest.

The VN is very in early stages so if you are reading this thinking of playing I really incentivize you to try this ASAP, I have big hopes for this project as a whole and I pray for it's success, but also control your expectations, the current demo but a good intro for it.

Now to some points I would like to bring attention to it. First is the prose, the way characters talk might feel a bit weird at first, it reminds me a lot of Tolkien books with a flair that really immerse you but also makes you look up words online, do I think is a bad thing? No on the very contrary I really hope S.Anima keeps the way it is going, it's not pretentious but also not crude, it hits right in the sweet spot.

Second thing I want to talk briefly is the romance options, I will not go in depth because we don't know much about them yet, however I can say so far as I see there is pretty much someone for everyone, their are differently enough but not so much that they feel out of place. (Personal note: I really really really enjoy Anoam, even with the few moments I had with him made me feel such a strong connection to it and I want to know so much about him and see how his character will develop along the story).

The last point I want to make is for more prude people or Ace is that the VN has casual nudity. Is not something I wish to be changed is more personal then actual critic but I want to point it out for so anyone reading this have a right idea of what to expect of this VN. All in all it's a really good VN with potential to grow into something amazing. I really hope one day S.Anima makes one VN but with felines as the focus for no persona desires reasons.

Wow friend, thank you so much for taking the time to write this all out. I'm really relieved to hear that the prose stuck it's landing for you. I know it won't be everyone's favorite cup of tea, but for me, it goes a long way to help establish the setting and offer insights into the character's experiences. Hopefully I can keep riding in the sweet spot and not overstay my welcome. 

I appreciate your warning for the less sexually inclined readers out there. Moontouched will be unapologetically sexual in nature, as it is in the cultures we'll be exploring, but a good warning is always an appreciated thing.

We'll see about that feline VN hah, I have a feeling Moontouched might be my one and done with how large of a project it is ;)

(+6)

I am just impressed with the visuals here... like I was expecting it to be AI no offence but... I can not find any evidence of that on my part which just makes me even more stunned. 

It looks great and has potential as a story while also drawing in some people already with it not even having been out for a Day.

You could have a big hit on your hands man so all luck to ya.

(+4)

Haha yeah no AI here. Just a cramped hand and countless hours. Glad you're enjoying the game so far!

(+11)

This is a very promising start. The visuals are beautiful and the writing makes for a delightful read. There is a lot of interesting worldbuilding going on with the various tribes, the gods and spirits. I am looking forward to the next release. :)

(+4)

Glad to hear you're enjoying the lore so far. I lure people in with sexy werewolves and then bait and switch my silly lore in ;)

(+10)

I've been waiting for this ever since the first teasers! I played the first hour or so and I'm already hooked and so impressed.
I'd love to know how you did that animation in the main menu screen, because it made my jaw drop. Is it a combination of a looped pre-rendered video clip and SnowBlossom for the dust particles?
Your work is always both humbling and inspiring. Best of luck Moontouched mate! I'll follow you closely

(+3)

Thank you for your kind words Raus, and for the playthrough video you made!

The main menu animation is done entirely in After Effects. The assets were hand painted and then spliced up for easy rigging and then I used a slew of particle effects. From there I just set up the loop and exported as a webm 

I'll keep at it for sure, your feedback is inspiring!

(+6)

wow, this vn will definitely be an amazing one for sure, the deep story telling and lore thats awaiting to be discovered is amazing and the art is just gorgeous. really cant wait to see how this story comes along

Glad to hear that you're enjoying the story as well as the art so far. I'm really excited to share more

(+5)

The project clearly has great potential!

Thanks Fini!

(+8)

(+4)

Can't wait to be a werewolf! :D

This is absolutely beautiful! the art is soooo stunning, truly one of the most beautiful art pieces I've seen here on itch (if not the best), the story seems really well done too (you would think that by this point we would have a lot of werewolf stories but I don't recall seeing something like this) so it was as amazing as a little demo could be but I'm already wanting more, can't wait to see this project develop, hope you get lots of funding cuz this is truly amazing <3 and just by looks Noakai looks amazing, do you plan on having like poly routes? cuz honestly they all looking so hot lol

(+1)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the project so far Wiccane! I won't confirm or deny any group play or relations just yet haha

(+9)

Looks great !!! Will we be seeing an android version anytime soon ?

(+3)

(+6)

Glad you enjoyed your time with it Praedyth

Please do not gloss over this visual novel.

Moontouched is a dime-a-dozen VN about the main character's spiritual journey through one of the most evocative and compelling settings I've ever seen.

The writing is superb. The art is excellent. The backgrounds give you glimpses into a foreign world that makes you crave to know more. The makers of this VN very clearly love the world they write about, giving the narrative the care and love it needs to thrive.

This VN pulls you into another world and truly allows you to feel the physical and emotional journey you're undertaking as Sorren and as a Moontouched. An added feature is that the writer very cleverly worked in a tool-tip system for persisting details about the setting that you can mouse over and brush up on if you ever feel lost.

I will be purchasing this visual novel and am waiting with bated breath to play more. 

(+4)

Thank you for taking the time to write this out Gaur, I'm pretty beside myself to get such a review. Thank you! I look forward to sharing mor

(+5)(-1)

I honestly can't wait for when the VN gets updated out of the demo cause I'm already in love with the characters I met in the demo

(+2)

Really glad you enjoyed the characters so far Bowigi!

(+6)

A FVN about werewolves? Sign me the fuck up, dude!!!

(+5)

Big sad there aren't many out there,I had to do something ;)
