This is the first visual novel I've ever read and I enjoyed it so thoroughly. Nothing felt too unrealistic and the tenderness between pc and Joseph was palpable. I loved it!
God, even though it was predictable, it was such a sweet game, and it really pulled at my heart strings. I am always a sucker for gay cowboys but I think this is easily a new favorite. The characters all have such a personality and I got a strong fondness for near all of them.
10/10, time to force all of my friends to play it /hj
Listen, I'm not saying this rivals Sekiro, I'm just saying played two games from start to end where your role is a one-armed wolf, and only one of them ends with a killer romance, that's all.
For anyone who doesn't know, nominations for the Ursa Major Awards are open until February 11 and, if it gets enough nominations, Lookouts could be up for Best Game.
If you were moved by this game and want to see it get recognition, instructions are here:
I honestly have to say this is one of the best free games i have ever played, its entrapping, The story telling and attention to detail on its own made me shed tears, the true emotion and writing into the characters and their lines and body language was so amazing- this game is worth so much more than its listed as, its worth every penny anyone is able to donate and more; 10/10, and although I finished it rather quickly[2hrs], To put it plain I could play it again right away- its even inspired me to try and get over my recent 6 month art block, thank you dearly readers, writers, and story tellers. -maggot
I came across this game while downloading the newest update for ClanGen and decided to go in completely blind- I ENJOYED IT SO MUCH. The art style is beautiful and fits the atmosphere of the game perfectly. All the character designs were great and all the representation was nice to see. :]
This was by far the cutest queer western game I have ever seen.
The characters are relatable and cute and the art style is BEAUTIFUL. The story has depth, the atmosphere is well-made, the music isn't annoying, and it's overall perfect.
There is also an outstanding representation of minorities here. I also like that this is playable on browser, as I can't download it due to my kind of computer.
I played about half way through the game or so with my boyfriend. This game is really good. I love dating sims or visual novels but a lot of them leave me feeling weird or unsatisfied. I have not even finished this one, and it makes me feel so good and warm. SO good in fact, I had to buy the gold edition. I paid $5 more for it because honestly the devs of this deserve to receive love and success for the work of ART they produced. Thank you to the devs for putting this together. And, to anyone reading this comment, this game is good.
god this is so cute & wholesome! i played this with my girlfriend and we both cried, i expected it to be good at a glance, but it far exceeded my expectations! thank you for making these great t4t gay furry cowboys!
Ok, I hate the maker of this game because you made all of my other favorite games look like dogshit. You made too good of a game. 999999999999999/.0001. The game is so good you made me question if I should just quit the idea of making games. Thank you, but also, no thank you. (P.S. I am joking this game is awesome and I dont hate this game and it's creator)
This game made me have so much more confidence and I cannot express how lovely of a story it was. Please understand my enthusiasm when I heard our protagonist go "I call myself a man". Such a simple sentence, with the most impactful placement. I've yet to dispel that moment from my mind. As someone whom trans, this game brings complete joy to my heart. The dialogue is well written with witty choices of annunciation to what really brings the core message together. Each and every townsperson (and future ones) of Clemency was loveable down to the bone. Please take my words with full recognition to how you all have made such a wonderful game. To make something so impactful is not of an easy feat, from me to you, thank you. Take care, Misha
Every single time I replay this game my silly gay mind always initially interprets the hardness of Joseph's clothes to something else...
And I don't know why, but Robin's sprite of him pulling out a gun is so adorable for literally no reason. But then again, I gushed over every single scene when Robin and Joseph were on the screen at the same time.
This game!I love the writing, Love the art and I love the everything else!!! I genuinely enjoyed this game and the characters,I was literally at the edge of my seat during that scene with Curly.
this game is adorable and i stayed up til' 3am playing it a couple days back but fell asleep in my chair like 2 minutes after I finished it while thinking about the ending and forgot to review it
11/10
such a great game, with lovable characters, relationships, a beautiful art style, and a great climax and emotional resolution. the way the two main characters met and slowly became closer and closer throughout the story was lovely, and I just clicked on it cuz it looked cool without reading any comments, and about when the second interview-thingy with the turtle was over and they were about to start playing cards, i called it that these two were boutta' be in love. adorable, 11/10.
You know that aching feeling that you get when you finish playing a video game? That feeling has never been stronger since the first time I've played Spiritfarer.
Everything about this visual novel works. The soundtrack, the actual story, the characters, and particularly the art design.
I really don't know what to say about the art design--it's just that good. Unlike other visual novels I've read, this one stands out in particular since the very stylized characters blend perfectly into the background. Every single character has their own unique personality--other than the generic gang members of course--and all of their designs are worth simping over. I'm truly at a loss for words: I was fully enraptured in the story. Like any other good game, my only complaint would be that it is too short. But then again, anything is too short when it gives you the time of your life. The only real nitpick I have would be the character sprites having no feet when sliding in or out of frame (unless if that was on purpose--which I would respect lol.)
I'd love for there to be a sequel or spin-off series starring the characters in this story. All that there is to do now is to buy the gold edition and to do what anyone who's invested in a piece of media does--draw fanart.
If I could compare this game to something, I would compare it to Brokeback Mountain without the tragic gays trope and just better overall although I'm particularly biased towards Lookouts since, well, gay furry cowboys being fluffy and adorable. Need I say more? Play it!!

This game is great, i got my friend into it and we both adore the characters and how cute they are
This game understood me more than I understand myself.
As a hopeless romantic such as myself, this reinvigorated my self-confidence and helped me appreciate who I am and my identity choices in general.
Also, I would die for Robin. Fight me.
I love this novel, dear to my heart forever, i wished it was longer though
OH MY GOD I LOVED THIS GAME SO MUCH
100000/10 /srs
That was AMAZING! Thank you so much :') <3
This is so cute, and im not gonna lie I almost cried, so wholesome-

after finishing the game, I can say that this has genuinely helped me recenter and figure out what is going on. This has helped me a lot.
god this is so cute & wholesome! i played this with my girlfriend and we both cried, i expected it to be good at a glance, but it far exceeded my expectations! thank you for making these great t4t gay furry cowboys!

I have to admit something... I am completely addicted to these two cute fellas.
Crap, I really wish they were turned into marketable plushies... that would be a dream come true lol.
Would love to see some fan games for this! Im left wondering what happens after the game.. Damn you and your great storytelling!!
no im not crying youre crying
Thank You...this is what i'm looking for...
MY SOULLLLL I LOVE ITTTTTT I WISH I DID NOT FINISH IT ITS SO GOOOOOOOD
this game is too good to be free, but the fact that it's free makes this game much much better
Understand, I'm strait as cold iron, BUT...
Its really good, like really good for a trans story.
I really only checked it out due to its incredicble art, but im not even done and its just, great.
1000000/10
This is the best story game I've ever played, I stayed up all night playing this.
