i know this criticism have been called out before but i feel it needs another interation, as it is really important:
This is a military sci-fi VN about trauma, loss, and intergalactic war—so foregrounding body positivity as a core ideal, without contextual anchoring, feels like aesthetic morality slapped on a world where discipline and survival should reign.
I am not mocking body positivity.
I am calling out a misalignment of tone and stakes that I feel.
think of it what you will, but at least take an actual time to think
Just got to the nightclub part and as an enjoyer of both EDM/elctronicy type music and metal i NEED to know the name of the song cuz omg it is sooo fucking good, i love the way it mixed the slow melodic vocals and electronic instrumental of your average EDM song with the fast paced drums and guitar and loud screaming metal vocals, it lowkey reminds me of some of the songs in Cyberpunk 2077 and has that perfect futuristic vibe, anyways sorry for the long ass pragraph of me rambling lmao
Edit: just finished the chapter and the cliff hanger is immaculate when bro said "i know what happened, we need to talk" I'm not even lying when I say my heart dropped all the way down to my balls and when I clicked after readying my self for the incoming existential dread, BOOM HERES THE CREDITS FUCK FACE soo uhh yah 10/10 5 stars would get analy pounded by a wolf with the personality of an anal gland in the middle of a battlefield next to the corpse of a horror beyond my comprehension again
Just finished reading, I LOVE IT!!! THIS IS THE FIRST VN WITH ACTUAL ANIMATION!!! I'm looking forward to the next build! Also, that cliffhanger is crazy bro...
This game is really great. At first, when browsing the itch interface, I was not very interested due to the style preference. But I have to apologize for this after playing, this is definitely one of my favorite FVNS. Whether it is the theme of interstellar war or the delicate expression of emotion, I am deeply attracted. The most intuitive expression is my feelings about Brut. At first I really didn't like the character Brut, even hated it (although I have a clear canine preference). But after my first combat tour, I started to like Brut a little bit. I think it's very rare (at least in the FVN world) to be able to make an impression of a virtual character so deep and naturally change people's perceptions of him. But when it came to my first combat mission, Corwan's rescue of Brut really surprised me. Although I did not understand it at first, I felt that I understood a lot after thinking about it. I really appreciate your creativity and creative ability. The only regret is that there is no Chinese translation, and many of the more professional descriptions are not very understandable. I hope that if someone is willing to provide Chinese translation, the author can pay attention to whether the translation is authorized.
AAAAAAaaaaaaaah...... OH MY DAWG, that was greatI Now I cannot wait for the next build, the excitement is hanging!!! Thanks for all the hard work y'all put in to this VN!
Yo I'm glad yall uploaded ecilpse to youtube! After hearing it in game i wanted to listen to it more. Honestly the music has been really solid in the VN overall.
I'm a Brazilian fan of the game and I have to say that I always look forward to new updates, I love space-themed VNs and this is one of the best if not the best I've ever found, I'm just sad that the update always ends at a time when there will be movement in the story, but please keep up the incredible work you do.
I do not, nor will I ever, understand why all my favourite pieces of media have recently all been ending in FUCKING. CLIFFHANGERS. *ahem* Here's to the naive hope that this will be done sparsely moving forward. All that aside...
This was an absolutely beautiful build and was completely worth the wait, however painful it was, and I am already very very eagerly awaiting the next build. The backgrounds in particular were really stunning and I hope to see more going forward.
Hello, since you published build 6, i downloded it, but it seems that you haven't updated the files yet, because as you can see it's still build 1.5.4 and even when I updated the VN, nothing changed at all. Please renew the files, I've been waiting for so long.
uhm I don't think they published it yet. Well, not publicly, that is.😅 The newest post they made was just saying it would be out this weekend, not that it *is* out. It'll prob only be out late tmrw, or even Monday maybe🥲
Edit: I'VE NEVER BEEN SO GLAD TO BE WRONG IT'S OUT LET'S FUCKIN' GOOOOOOOOOO
Just found this VN the other day, and I'm so glad that I did - it's always a real treat to find a story with this level of quality, care, and skill put into it.
There's so many things I want to praise - the natural, subtle, and expansive worldbuilding that keeps me asking questions and wanting to see more; the bright and colorful character writing that makes me want to spend time with and learn about each and every one of them, even ones like Brut and Fen; the powerful and delicate emotions, traumas, and anxieties that bleed through interactions and hang over the people who chose to put themselves in this situation; Cyrox the Mawful anytime he's on screen; the incredible and expressive art, ESPECIALLY in chapter 5 with the combat sprites and the incredible animation (can't wait to see the finished CGs!); the MC as a distinct, driven, and interesting character in their own right; the surprising funny and hot other scene in Chapter 5 that was such a delightfully complex whirlwind of emotions; and much more.
You've all done incredible work, and I hope you're proud of what you've created so far. I can't wait for Chapter 6 this weekend, and will continue to eagerly watch and support this project through development! Thanks so much for creating this art and sharing it with the community!
While I am more of a fan of route based games (Jeaz, my beloved, I soooo would've gone for your route if you had one), the story is engaging on its own merits. Speaking of Jeaz though, I think they tend to be referred to using they/them pronouns, is that NB representation? (Also, can we please fuck Jeaz? Second choice is Alex, but that one's basically guaranteed from the description and Alex being pretty clearly main cast.) Great work!
Oh man just tried today and i can really tell the effort you guys put into this. Really really enjoyed it, especially naughty part that threw me off lmao
ngl, I was hype to have this story, and sex, but honestly the way it happened, man, kinda bummed out, not a fan of tactical sex, I was expecting barracks sex, I still like and I'm gonna stay for the story and maybe some sex that throws me out of the story less, but yeah, either way still great game
Acabo de terminar lo que hay por ahora y WOW, es magnífico, un trabajo espléndido y muy recomendable, amé a nuestro caballero quiero saber más sobre TODOS los personajes y la trama es muy buena aaaaaaaa
The plot is great, but it ruined in chapter 5 because of MC's strategy to save him... I hope there is explanation about this in next chapter. It just that scene is not necessary yet. But still the CG, character, BG, music are immaculate.
omg just played and that ANIMATED SCENE was so good i haven't really seen animated scene like that in a vns it was really great keep up the good work I'm in shock.
i am fangirling so hard rate now i freaking love the animation, i can't even imagine the work that went into this scene. it takes such a heavy moment and really eleavates it to something you'd only see in a highclass movie. its unbelievable
Unfortunately sometimes with Renpy when we do some work on the engine it can make the saves incompatible. I do apologise but there is a chapter select option so you can jump into the story at the right points.
LOVED the new update. I was surprised to see that it updated and instantly downloaded the new build. In Finite Space never stops to impress me with everything it is. Keep up the good work! Loving this FVN!!!
From desc: "We hope to show a story that breaks a few FVN traditions and give people a story that, while linear, offers choices to engage in 'stress relief' with any and all of the main cast. You choose if you want to take part."
Guessing romance the wolf and bang anyone else that's considered "main" cast. Probably the 5 or so squadmates, but i wouldn't be surprised if there's more options
When the crew first land to fight off the plauge and we find Xaria to help with the drill stuff. I laughed my ass off when i heard the drill noises cause it sounds like someone just let one rip and it lasted a while instead of it sounding like a drill noise. Who ate taco bell and beans and forgot to go to the toilet?
whew i wasn't expecting that to happen at the end of the build, I enjoyed that thoroughly and I'm defiantly gonna stick around to see how the rest of the story goes
and to see if the dynamic of a certain relationship changes uwu (i cant help the characters i find hot are always jerks XD )
Just find this treasure so I'm lucky to read it to the latest update and ended up loving it. Love everything about this vn hope the next update show up next month cause I can't wait to know if calbex will ask the MC on the weird feeling his feeling while fighting and why his leaking.😂 Can't wait for build 6.

Help I'm unhealthy addicted to this VN 😭
cough cough...
Oh man, I can't wait to see how this continues
Just got to the nightclub part and as an enjoyer of both EDM/elctronicy type music and metal i NEED to know the name of the song cuz omg it is sooo fucking good, i love the way it mixed the slow melodic vocals and electronic instrumental of your average EDM song with the fast paced drums and guitar and loud screaming metal vocals, it lowkey reminds me of some of the songs in Cyberpunk 2077 and has that perfect futuristic vibe, anyways sorry for the long ass pragraph of me rambling lmao

Thank you so much. The song is called Eclipse and was made by our amazing HyenaBlood. It is uploaded to our youtube channel
Is it possible that there could be a spotify release in the future?
Another chapter will be out soon ?🥺
Just finished reading, I LOVE IT!!! THIS IS THE FIRST VN WITH ACTUAL ANIMATION!!! I'm looking forward to the next build! Also, that cliffhanger is crazy bro...
I know how great it is to end on a cliffhanger as a writer but GOD DAMMIT DID Y'ALL REALLY HAVE TO DO THAT TO ME!?
The new BGs were aces, I saw a maned wolf in one of them which brought me joy. Love me leggy lads.

Thanks for all the hard work y'all put in to this VN!
Yo I'm glad yall uploaded ecilpse to youtube! After hearing it in game i wanted to listen to it more. Honestly the music has been really solid in the VN overall.
absolutely LOVE Brut's characterization over the last two builds, you guys are cooking hard
Deciding to call it now that Brut will be the first named character to die.
No please no 😭 😭
My Call is Eryx/Gladius. I like him so much, but he and Zaria got all the Death-flags in place...
HOW DARE YOU END THIS BUILD WITH THIS
I'm a Brazilian fan of the game and I have to say that I always look forward to new updates, I love space-themed VNs and this is one of the best if not the best I've ever found, I'm just sad that the update always ends at a time when there will be movement in the story, but please keep up the incredible work you do.
Just read Build 6.
I do not, nor will I ever, understand why all my favourite pieces of media have recently all been ending in
FUCKING. CLIFFHANGERS.*ahem* Here's to the naive hope that this will be done sparsely moving forward. All that aside...This was an absolutely beautiful build and was completely worth the wait,
however painful it was,and I am already very very eagerly awaiting the next build. The backgrounds in particular were really stunning and I hope to see more going forward.I'mma go read that a few more time nowhi so i just downloaded build 6 yet there is no updates added is there something wrong with the files?
The update is not out yet, that post was informing us about the changes they made and that it'll release this weekend

Jeaz is NB yes, and you can spend time with them at some point in the story yes.
I loved playing this vn. The artstyle is crazy beautiful and adore the characters. Can't wait for the next update release in a few days.
Oh man just tried today and i can really tell the effort you guys put into this. Really really enjoyed it, especially naughty part that threw me off lmao
BUG BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEACH!!!!
ngl, I was hype to have this story, and sex, but honestly the way it happened, man, kinda bummed out, not a fan of tactical sex, I was expecting barracks sex, I still like and I'm gonna stay for the story and maybe some sex that throws me out of the story less, but yeah, either way still great game
not a fan of WHAT NOW
tacsex
What happens in the trenches, stays in the trenches.
Acabo de terminar lo que hay por ahora y WOW, es magnífico, un trabajo espléndido y muy recomendable, amé a nuestro caballero quiero saber más sobre TODOS los personajes y la trama es muy buena aaaaaaaa
WOW this vn surpassed my expectations on multiple levels--the plot is unique and really well written.
Our knight is sooo handsome, hope we get a romantic path with him
The plot is great, but it ruined in chapter 5 because of MC's strategy to save him... I hope there is explanation about this in next chapter. It just that scene is not necessary yet. But still the CG, character, BG, music are immaculate.
Sex releases Endorphine. Endorphine reduce pain.
The only thing missing is a clear statement that Brute was in such a pain that even painkillers aren't sufficient enough to save his Life.
now that was a chapter i enjoyed .can't wait for more
Spoodler Spoilers
That conversation of Fen and Brut, along with the MC and Brut afterwards having the love hate boners for each other...I am living for it.
Also give me that Alex x MC ,we see that cat wanting MC to themselves and I'm all for it
after the animation the scene that takes place is it unfinished or is it meant to be with no color and basically just looks like a sketch
We will be adding the final animation scenes once completed.
omg just played and that ANIMATED SCENE was so good i haven't really seen animated scene like that in a vns it was really great keep up the good work I'm in shock.
i am fangirling so hard rate now i freaking love the animation, i can't even imagine the work that went into this scene. it takes such a heavy moment and really eleavates it to something you'd only see in a highclass movie. its unbelievable
just asking to make sure its not savable, but are the old saves not compatible with the newest update?
Unfortunately sometimes with Renpy when we do some work on the engine it can make the saves incompatible. I do apologise but there is a chapter select option so you can jump into the story at the right points.
LOVED the new update. I was surprised to see that it updated and instantly downloaded the new build. In Finite Space never stops to impress me with everything it is. Keep up the good work! Loving this FVN!!!
question: who will we be able to romance with ?
From desc: "We hope to show a story that breaks a few FVN traditions and give people a story that, while linear, offers choices to engage in 'stress relief' with any and all of the main cast. You choose if you want to take part."
Guessing romance the wolf and bang anyone else that's considered "main" cast. Probably the 5 or so squadmates, but i wouldn't be surprised if there's more options
DAMN
I think this is a spoilers so ill hide it BUT
When the crew first land to fight off the plauge and we find Xaria to help with the drill stuff. I laughed my ass off when i heard the drill noises cause it sounds like someone just let one rip and it lasted a while instead of it sounding like a drill noise. Who ate taco bell and beans and forgot to go to the toilet?
TYPE W FOR THE UPDATE
whew i wasn't expecting that to happen at the end of the build, I enjoyed that thoroughly and I'm defiantly gonna stick around to see how the rest of the story goes
and to see if the dynamic of a certain relationship changes uwu (i cant help the characters i find hot are always jerks XD )
Probably Calbex only and this is a guess but the main screen is Calbex and the MC lying in the water so it kinda just gives off that vibe
That was fantastic, can't wait for me, awesome work!
Just find this treasure so I'm lucky to read it to the latest update and ended up loving it. Love everything about this vn hope the next update show up next month cause I can't wait to know if calbex will ask the MC on the weird feeling his feeling while fighting and why his leaking.😂 Can't wait for build 6.
have to say, a certain scene is erotic, but I just cant stop laughing watching it, especially the reaction of the wolf after they come back:D
i laughed so hard i had needed to go to the hospital (i have IBS & my stomach was hurting that much)
even when I tried to play it again now, I have a hard time continuing the vn
🗿brother lost to gay furry sex scenes
I immediately cackled and went to go find a certain popular song by the artist "Peaches"
