I played Kyouji's route as soon as it came out, so I don't know why it took me this long to write this. Anyway, better late than never, I guess.
Ever since the original Morenatsu, Kyouji has always been my favorite. I know, that's pretty weird given that he barely had any content back then. But I suppose there was just something about his personality that really drew me in.
I HIGHLY doubt there are many others who thought of Kyouji as their favorite back then (understandable since, again, he barely had any content) so I know for sure I must have been one of the people most looking forward to finally being able to play his route, even if it came from a different writer.
This also means that I probably had some of the highest expectations out of anyone here. So I'll admit that when I saw his story was finally released I was also a bit afraid of possibly being disappointed after head cannoning his story in my mind for years.
My fears were unfounded. God, this was GOOD! Thank you for writing his story the way you did. It was even better than anything I could have imagined.
FINALLY, after I don't know how many years, my absolute favorite character has a complete story, and it's SO. GOOD. And I like him even more now than I did before. :)
I totally agree, right now Kyouji is my favorite character and I doubt they will be able to top him. I love a tragic story, I love when I see a person everyone think is flawless showing flaws after flaws after flaws, I love the very bottom of ris route when he's being distant as much as I love the tops of his route. I hope they can rework Kouya's routes now because his route will be so stupid after reading through Kyouji's. xD
Never has a game made me this emotional. I've got to say, I didn't have the highest hopes for Kyouji's route; I really did think that it would just be an awkward love triangle, but it left me absolutely speechless.
Overall, this game really is an absolute step up from the original Morenatsu - both games are awesome, but Homecoming gives the characters a whole lot of dimension to some otherwise (kind of) bland characters.
Making the route of a character that didn't have one in the first place was a bold choice, but it seemed to be one of the best decisions that could've been made. The last days of the route felt a bit awkward, but that may just be me. That being said, I now have high hopes for Tarou's route. I'm excited as one can be!
I wonder if there'll be another complete sprite revamp or if we're going to get more sprites, I'd love to see more sprites from everyone, especially Tatsuki. I would also love to see the NSFW scenes, but they're so well-written they're almost non-essential.
I love the introduction of more characters, I'm anxious to see what the team has planned for Nanafuse! I do hope we get a sprite for Tatsuki's mom and maybe a sprite for Hiroyuki's grandparents.
Here's to hoping we don't have to wait another year and a half for another update!
I agree with ya on that point. I've been reading on Reddit people complaining this game is not OG morenatsu but at this point it's clear this game wants to be it's own thing, same setup, same people, but another angle on what happened in another universe. And frankly Kyouji's route is peak writing there. I was expecting nothing out of it, now I want to know what they will do with Kouya's route, because with Kyouji's route the way it is, it makes the struggles Kouya had on the OG game so stupid.
Hello, your game is wonderful!! I played Kyouji route and it's my favorite ❤.But I would love to see a DLC in the future with Hiro coming back for winter or it's two years later. I literally would pay to play if you decided to make it
I played through the Kyouji route and it makes me wonder how Soutarou routes will go together with his now. But I have to tell: if you guys are re-writting all end routes then I have high ropes for some of the old ones I thought could have been better written. Kyouji's route is extremely emotional and well done, apart from Hiro's silly behavior that makes me believe he's still in his 15's sometimes, the jump in quality once Act 3 happened just flat out impressed me.
It's very rare for a route to make me think of it for so long, the last time I had such a strong impression on a VN reading was on Knight's college's plot twist. What I mean is that you guys were able to create something extremely tense, well written and good overall with the lack of cutscenes, which shows how strong the writing is.
The NSFW parts are also very well-written too, I think Kyoji went from my bottom to my top routes and I hope once cutscenes are done that you guys give us some few scenes for Kyouji's route, especially the most emotional ones, in the locker room and later at the festival I think those are very good places to make cutscenes, but when Kyoji goes have the talk and asks Kouya to take him to the place he needs tobe, that scene is also very powerful. You guys have a gem there if you want, this can easily be one of the most interesting and well paced routes in the game.
Like, really, this is the first time I play this game and I wish we had a DLC with Hiro coming back for Winter to spend a week or two with the boyfriend he chose if he did a perfect route ending.
I can't wait for Tarou, Kouya and Tora's routes :)
Indeed, he is a ghost. His full name is Hiroyuki Nanafuse. Let me tell you fun fact about him! Hiroyuki Nanafuse (七伏 博行 Nanafuse Hiroyuki) or simply Nanafuse (七伏 Nanafuse), is a ghost that is known as the Seventh Wonder, someone that no one knows and no one has seen. However, this may be due to the fact that after those who see him recognize he is a ghost, he starts to vanish and the user slowly begins to forget about Nanafuse's existence.
First of all, absolutely love the game!!! I think this remake is much needed and very well done. I totally understand that this game isn't bringing in any money and therefore isn't a priority, but I'm very excited for the full Kouya route and see that it's being worked on. Wanted to ask if there's a general range of time I could expect to be waiting? Absolutely fine if not, again I love this project and can't wait to see what its future holds!
Glad you're enjoying this project so far. We currently don't have a timeframe for when Kouya's route will be released, but Tealfox is hard at work writing the story.
Is there a wiki website for the game? I've been wanting to get a better look at the sprites, but can't seem to find them anywhere. There's a wiki for the original game, and it has details about this game, but no sprites or anything.
If you had read the Project Development Status section of the itch page, you would have seen that we have a route progress spreadsheet that would have answered your question.
I noticed that a few routes still act like Hiroyuki is a fox even if you choose to play as a human. Will that be fixed? It happens most often in Kyouji's route
We have made attempts to make it so that Hiroyuki's species is depicted properly, but there will no doubt be occasions where it defaults to fox, as that is the canon species for him, but if you let us know where the major offenders are, we can look at fixing it up.
I've added flag checks to the part where Sayu is first met (oddly enough, I got most of the others on that day, but missed that one), Kyouji's beach route and Hiroyuki being grabbed by the scruff of his neck. The latter now has Grandma grabbing him by one of his ears.
However, I can also confirm that nowhere is "paw" mentioned anywhere, except for one description in the tabletop RPG on day 4, which is reference to the big boss.
If I may add, and if it helps pinpointing, during the celebratory party with Soutarou, his mom, and Kyouji, the narration mentions "claws" a few times throughout this event, even if Hiro's species is set as human. If I remember correctly, the same event also mentions "whiskers". Or at the very least somewhere in Kyouji's events
Thank you so much. With the appropriate keywords, I managed to find several instances which weren't accounted for when we added the species toggle. I've managed to make adjustments so that the appropriate checks are made, and the lines adjusted as needed if Hiro is a human. These will be reflected in Build 14.

I've done the whole Kyouji route and there are no explicit scenes at the end... do I need a special key or are they still in development?
There are two scenes, no cg’s from what i know, but the deed gets done
Not hard to find the info, but yes. It is still in development.
It's easier to just do everything first and then add the scenes, art is expensive. XD
there are nsfw scenes they're just disabled by default and currenty lack artwork, you have to go to settings/preferences to enable them.
if you're on mobile they will say "this setting cannot be changed" but if you tap on said text it will re enable the nsfw content
Hmm! Is Nanafuse a ghost?
Indeed, he is a ghost. His full name is Hiroyuki Nanafuse. Let me tell you fun fact about him! Hiroyuki Nanafuse (七伏 博行 Nanafuse Hiroyuki) or simply Nanafuse (七伏 Nanafuse), is a ghost that is known as the Seventh Wonder, someone that no one knows and no one has seen. However, this may be due to the fact that after those who see him recognize he is a ghost, he starts to vanish and the user slowly begins to forget about Nanafuse's existence.
Also Nanafuse took Shun's Appearance without the slaves and took Hiroyuki's first name.
That information only relates to the original. We have our own plans for Nanafuse in Homecoming, hehe.
Nice! Looking forward to it
Oo! Really? PLease made Nanafuse as Shun's little brother!
Cool that was bugging me since no one seems to interact with him
First of all, absolutely love the game!!! I think this remake is much needed and very well done.

A wiki is being worked on, but at the moment, it's private and subject to a lot of tweaking, so it'll take some time before it's made available.
Yea, also if you go to Morenatsu official website it'll only show you Everyone's old Sprites
How do I get Tatsukis perfect ending?
Have you played through his route fully? A guide should have been unlocked in the gallery.
After reading the new route I dont think ill ever emotionally recover from this. I'm excited the other routes.
What are all the routes there? Since Kouya and Torahiko dont go past day 15 but I see Kyouji's going past day 20
If you had read the Project Development Status section of the itch page, you would have seen that we have a route progress spreadsheet that would have answered your question.
Well shit, I'm sorry I'm blind TwT
I noticed that a few routes still act like Hiroyuki is a fox even if you choose to play as a human. Will that be fixed? It happens most often in Kyouji's route
We have made attempts to make it so that Hiroyuki's species is depicted properly, but there will no doubt be occasions where it defaults to fox, as that is the canon species for him, but if you let us know where the major offenders are, we can look at fixing it up.
One example is when you first meet Sayu and she grabs Hiroyuki. He mentioned her pulling on his fur instead of hair (as a human)
Another is at the beach in Kyouji's route. He mentions his whiskers twitching a few times.
At some point he mentions his paws instead of hands.
Grandma also grabs Hiroyuki "by the scruff of his neck" on day 13 even if you play as a human
I've added flag checks to the part where Sayu is first met (oddly enough, I got most of the others on that day, but missed that one), Kyouji's beach route and Hiroyuki being grabbed by the scruff of his neck. The latter now has Grandma grabbing him by one of his ears.

In the original Morenatsu (Or Morenatsu revival) the creator did say Hiroyuki is an Snow Fox.
Tappei route when
