How the Ink Tastes
HOW THE INK TASTES is a horror furry visual novel that contains mature language and violent/graphic themes. No sexy times though, sorry. Player discretion is advised.
This project is finished.
Final Length: ~7,000 words
College freshmen and idiotic choices. Name a more iconic duo.
Of course, Seth knew it was a stupid idea.
What kind of loser comes out to an ex from high school anyway?
Still, the consequences weren't inherently bad. In fact, Marcia had been perfectly understanding. Kind, even. She nodded her head and told him everything was all right. And once the tears began dripping from his eyes, she went in for a hug.
What she didn't do, however, was tell Seth that her new, jealous boyfriend Grant and fellow fuckboy Dale were right around the corner.
Oops.
Should've signposted that one, Marcia.
One scuffle later and Seth is getting hustled away from campus and shoved into the nearby woods in preparation for a good beating.
That'll teach him to touch another man's girl.
Here's to hoping he'll make better choices next time.

This was a great, bite-sized horror game. It had me cycling between fear, hope and despair right until the end.
The writing is phenomenal, I really liked the description and imagery especially during the parts where the plot pauses for a moment to let the narration reflect on the scene. I'd go into more detail but I'm trying to keep this comment as spoiler-free as possible. I enjoyed the writing enough that this alone earned the game 5 stars.
I think the simple art style was effective and the way you used sprites on a static background fit the setting.
The soundtrack got a bit repetitive but the tone fit the game well. If it took a bit longer to loop I think it would've been fine.
Overall I'd definitely recommend this game to people who love horror and good writing. I'm surprised the rating isn't higher, perhaps it's skewed by a few people who can't handle the graphic violence.
