Lust Shards
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Lust Shards is a brand new NSFW Furry Visual Novel, focused on a fantasy romance academy story.
Chapter 1
Day 1 of Alvy's route is out Publicly!
(and yes, Alvy's route is part of Scribbles' route, it's complicated =w=)
HOW TO ACCESS:
In the route split choose the 4th option "I don't feel like talking to anyone".
After that it is required that you complete Therium's route to access the newest update.
When the loop happens at the end of Therium's route, simply choose the second option.
3 of 4 paths are currently completed for Chapter 1 and part 1/3 of the 4th path.
This world is filled with Nightfallen, monsters driven by lust and magic, that must be dealt with by Hunters, through whichever means necessary.
Having been scouted by a prestigious academy for Hunters, you embark on your new life, little did you know, your abilities and looks would catch the eye of a lot of people here, for better or worse. You'll meet a wide cast of characters with 4 main paths, each with their own quirks and personalities, choose your path and get them to love you!
This year, it's just your luck, because the new headmaster is implementing a new start of the year test, to filter out the weak and leave the strong, who knows why? Maybe you'll find out.
If you do not manage to pass the test, then you can say goodbye to your love interests, all that while trying to figure out the secrets of the academy and your new 'imaginary' friend.

this is so good. I've only read dallan's route and i was kicking my feet with excitement so many times.
I love it and really excited for what's to come.
wait so alvy and tate are the most hands down relatable characters bruh. istg i cried so many times... also im an og tate lover but alvy doing something to me help
You're not alone on that last part ^^"
A really amazing story with a very beautiful visual appearance! It seems that Tate is everyone's favorite character in this novel (mine too), because a lot of the plot with him came out in chapter 1, and that's cool. I especially like that all the characters are lively and interesting, each has its own story, which generally complements each other.
I'm not very good at English, but everything was so easy to read and understandable that it just blows my mind. 🤯
I am very much looking forward to the continuation of the story of all the characters <3
Ohmigosh this VN has unintentionally raised my VN's expectation (cheer world with magic). It is well-built, dialogues and jokes in this game don't make me feel uncanny, it is close to what I expected for a conversation irl (I love when MC chat with Scribbles). The story with 3 main love interests is so good so far (I haven't read scribbles yet, since I want enjoy a full story). And I love CGs in this game (especially the last one for each route, wholesome wholesome. I love Aiden)
...
Please more Aiden's content :'3.
WHERES SCRIBBLES PART 2 IM GONNA GO BERSERK IF IT DOESNT RELEASE
Be patient it took forever for the first part to be made
Been a bit since I've played this (And glad I did) MindOfFur still is serving💅.
But to be so fr, this vn actually feels like it has real characters in it that speak like how one would now days, other vn's don't accomplish that I think. And the humor too also makes me genuinely laugh.
While I like this VN, it's a bit disturbing that there's multiple times where the topic of SA comes up as a joke, and the joke being "a gay guy being SA'd by a hot guy." I don't think it's a very funny joke, as it's making fun of the victim.

In scribbles route, we weren't getting closer to him at all and MC still treats him like nothing but a butler/buff. they can't even have one serious conversation with each other where you treat him like a person. I really really like this game, and every rout other than this one. It just upsets me that we (the MC) treat an actual demon worse than a demon has treated us. We even say that we like and care about night fallen in his rout while still treating him like nothing and still having no conversation with him deeper than an insult or help me out of a problem. I'm not giving up, I'm hoping when part two of his route comes we can at least try to like the guy. I don't even like the horse dude, I just followed him to be with scribbles and I got neither. But honestly, the game is amazing. The art and story are interesting and it's fun to read. This game still gets five stars from me, I've never played one of these where I liked every rout/option. I was just really hoping for something to happen between them, even a friendship. I'm just not convinced MC even likes scribbles, which makes me wonder why he agreed to take him in the first place.
Without spoiling anything I'll just say that the mc not liking Scribbles makes total sense and Scribbles treating him better also makes total sense, and I'll leave it at that.
Omg..?
I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE TRAIN TRACK SCENE ON DAY ONE TATE'S ROUTE MIGHT BE A LIFE IS STRANGE REFERENCE????
it is :]
I knew it!!! My friend sent me lapis and peridot fanart on the traintracks as chloe and max and I was like, wait…
When is chapter 2 coming I mean the developers should take their time but I just want to know the approximate date
Probably sometimes around next year :)
Thank you 🦊❤️
The conversation with Bean was such a trip. Too many twists and turns, but I actually like him.
This may be controversial, but I don't vibe with Tate. I understand why he acts like this, but he seems to believe he's the center of our world even though we only know him for, what, two or three days? He's way too entitled to our attention. How he described it was the best, it's as if we are a drug he's addicted to. Again, I understand he was an orphan, neglected, and likely has abandonment issues, but he can't get mad because we don't follow his every whims.
Yeah, he has attachment issues, I like Alvy more
Reading Dallan’s route currently (I will read the others too)
AND IT’S SO GOOD I FEEL THE ENERGY IN MY VEINS THAT SAY I CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS
It hits so many ticks on my internal list of things I like in a story
Down bad for this wolf and the writing and visuals as well
Update: read the Cat’s route and got neutral end bc it was just so exciting my eyes weren’t only on the Cat . But now I feel very compelled to get a good ending after all that fun! UPDATE: Tate best ending so damn good!! I’d say his route is the most impactful, insanely good read
Aiden best ending read now. Honestly I didn’t think I’d like him initially but once again my heart is stolen. STUPID SEXY TIGERMAN I LOVE YOU
Only one chapter and each route so far is INCREDIBLY rewarding and entertaining to read!! Haaah… It’s so nice to think about falling asleep next to your favorite person
It's just a magnanimous masterpiece... It's so sad that it's over...
Tate is just great, he just fell into my heart... My type is absolutely everything, cocky, pervert, but at the same time innocent ...
Please share your plans for the development of this wonderful game! How many chapters are planned? It's only 3 days, and we still have a whole school year! I really, really love long games. The potential of your game is simply huge!
I would like to support you, but unfortunately I cannot support you through Patreon, because I am from Russia ...
P.S. I hope the translation is not crooked 😅
(SPOILERS)
Listen tate was my favourite route with interacting with nightfall then being betrayed but then I played Alvy's route and I love it please keep up the good work and please update alvy's route so it doesnt end in a cliffhanger sorry if mean but keep up the work love it.
I just finished all the available content up until now and I have to say this VN is the one of the best or yet the best VNs I ever read and all of them have great character development and unique personalities and abilities here are my opinion on each route
Tate's Route
Tate is just a broken person that needs someone in his life and the MC filled that someone and there is a lot of pictures in his gallery and lastly I love the conclusion it was heartwarming
Dallan's Route (I might be bias)
Dallan is just a person who wants to be treated normally and besides Chelsie,Tate,Aiden and the other leaders and vices the MC treated him normally like every should instead of being a kissass and I like how he is the sweet giant of the group and most powerful one(as I'd gather)I can't wait for chapter 2 since he is my favourite character among them
Aiden's route
Aiden is a person who wants to be loved but not for just his abilities (like the his father, the headmaster) and his route gave answer to the questions I thought like (who is his anchor for the teleportation type spells,or why is he so moody, or why he has his work done so quickly) at the end it was surprising yet the more you think of it the more it makes sense kind of way
Therium's route (I don't like him,sorry)
His route is more on the heavy lore from what I gathered he is working for someone to overthrow the academy? I'm not sure but that's my theory for now but they are using the MC as the plan A and Alvy as plan B of the operations I don't really like him but I don't hate him either it's just he's not my type
Alvy's route
Well his route not yet complete from what I gathered he is like the MC but just with more family problems and minus scribbles
That's my opinion on all available routes and if we're to rate this VN out of 10 it would be a 15/10 a total overkill and I hope MindOfFur won't trash this project in the future since it is one of the best ones
Keep up the amazing work MindOfFur <3
Back with a bit more feedback after making some different choices on Dallan's route. Obviously contains SPOILERS
I noticed a few inconsistencies that might actually be intented but I wanted to point them out regardless:
1. On the second day, after hanging out with Chelsie at that tavern, Cody meets the guys on his way to the arena, they tell him about what happened in detention and they agree to go there together. The weird thing is that the lines after that are the same as if Cody had chosen to do detention with them and had managed to get away with Dallan. I noticed that because after arriving at the arena and Dallan leaves to talk with Merina about the announcements, Aiden and Tate show up and they mention the detention again even tho they were supposed to have just walked to the arena with Cody and Dallan.
2. On the third day right before the duo battles, Cody makes a comment about Dallan looking a bit moody "still" even after having spent most of his day up to that point with Chelsie. That seemed a bit out of place considering there wasn't a previous comment about Dallan's mood and Cody couldn't have known about it since he was with Chelsie. But I could see it being intended in case Cody noticed it before he left him in the morning but didn't make a comment about it.
3. One last observation I made for now is that after treating Chelsie horribly on the second night (walking out on her) and earning the worst ending (as far as I know), I noticed something weird in Cody's dream the night before the test. He notices his collapsed figure among the other broken ones and realizes there's no place for him in that heart but before saying that, he says he notices his figure again among those that Dallan considers friends. Just thought it was a bit weird for Cody's figure to be in two places at once.
Sir Ma’am can you link the Discord in the description of the game please and thank you.
It's only for Patrons so there's no reason to have it here, there is a Patreon link however
Hmm have you considered having one for Patreons only and one for the public? Cause I’m sure there’s a lot of us that wants to join but don't have Patreon.
This is an Awesome and whimsical visual novel that has so much potential for the future. I can't wait for the next update and see where Aiden, Tate, and Dallan's routes all go. I haven't yet played Alvy's Route but I'm sure it's just as fantastic as the others. This novel is definitely in my top ten visual novels and it isn't even complete, that should tell everyone that this will have a huge impact on anyone that reads this. Please keep up the fantastic work, and know you have plenty of fans that enjoy every minute of your hard work.
A while ago I heard some really good things about this project and a couple of days ago I finally decided to give it a go... BAM! Immediately hooked! So far I've only gone through Dallan's route and I'm so in love with him 🫠. Can't wait to see where the story will go!
Also, a little feedback. I would really appreciate it if you added a hide button for the android version. There were so many scenes I wished I could hide the text. Had to go back and forth in those moments when the dialogue box would fade in/out just to see the whole picture for less than a sec 😭. So if possible, it would be a very helpful addition!
I'm not sure if its just me, but on the mobile version you cannot move down on the list of scenes. You're limited to the list that is shown, but cannot scroll down further to see anything else down.
Other than that, everything else in the first chapter is amazing! Keep it up!
Edit: Also Scribble is fucking adorable. Love the stories!
That's intentional
Why tho?
I played this game during the summer vacation,this is really a great work.It is excellent in both painting and text,But it is a pity that there is not much discussion in China(My country), I will try my best to recommend this game to my friend.
I played three routes in the summer vacation(now it seems that someone else's route has been updated , But as a student, I will go to school tomorrow😭😭😭)，My favorite person is Dallan,at the end, the protagonist goes to the forest for a picnic with Dallan, which I think is very romantic.
The text of the whole game is quite OK,The foreshadowing buried in front of the game makes the promotion of the game plot less abrupt.The meticulous description of two people's emotions in the game also makes the game feel very substituted(but I think there is still a lot of room for improvement in the rendering of the atmosphere in the game)
In the end, I also hope that the author can do better and better.Don't forget that you have many fans in China and we will always support you. (-^〇^-)
The tate route is TOO good like I played the tate route a couple of days ago and i can't bring myself to play anyother path because I know I would feel guilty about not helping him I litarly made this acount just to post this comment
May i ask in the near future when do you think this will be completed if I may ask MindOfFur?
The... whole game? Well, the climax will happen in chapter 2 in more ways than one, but the game should continue into chapter 3-4 at least. Cody hasn't even started his school years which is like, the main point of a magic Academy story.
So I absolutely can't give a time.
Ok thx tho for answering
First of all, this has to be the most wonderful and creative visual novel I have ever seen. I've played two VNs before, but the one I’ve become most attached to is definitely Lust Shards. The emotion the creator has poured into this, the jokes, the little comments, and even the characters breaking the fourth wall—it's all such a joy to experience. The music choice was fantastic, and there were so many beautifully drawn art pieces throughout. Most VNs only include illustrations after special events, but in this masterpiece, I see them every 10 minutes as I progress through the story. I'm truly in love with how well this VN was crafted—I can't stop saying it.
Personally, I played through Tate's route, and it stirred so many emotions in me at once. There was even a moment where I found myself tossing my laptop around like a little kid, exclaiming, "WHAT. WHAT. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN. WHAT."
And if that wasn’t enough, I documented multiple funny lines throughout the novel.
With that being said, thank you so much, MindOfFur, for creating this visual novel. You could have easily charged for this masterpiece, and I probably wouldn't be here writing this, but you didn’t. You chose to give this piece of art away to people who might not be able to afford such things.
I’m not sure if it’s true, but I read that you’re a solo artist? Wow. That’s incredible.
Still, I got attached to this novel within just a few days, and I would love a second chapter with more Tate routes! I’m definitely going to try the other routes, and I know there’s still one more coming (as far as I’m aware), but even if you decide not to continue this novel (maybe due to a lack of Patreon supporters or something), always remember: you’re helping people escape reality. You make people happy. You make them cry tears of joy and sadness. And we, your fans, appreciate everything you do—myself included.
So, if you ever doubt whether the novel is getting enough attention, remember this comment and all the other people here who love your work and love you.
Thank you so much, MindOfFur, for everything.
Thank you so much! This made my week! ^^
The support I'm getting, whether it's financial or emotional is amazing! So I'm definitely not planning on quitting anytime soon :D
Hope you don't mind if I share this message with our server :3
I dont mind ofc! Im happy I made your week :D This game def also made my week, so thank you again! Hope to see more content soon ^^
I'm immediately obsessed on this vn that I finished it in just 10 hours lmao. I wanna see more updates come out.
Nevermind, I forgot the other routes
Btw, pls add a hide button
If you're on pc you can middle click OR press H to hide text :)
We is chapter 2 coming out i love the vn
Chapter 1 is not done yet
When will be the next update 😭😭 im so excited this game realy make me forget all my problems 😻hope its comming soon. And good Luck ❤️.
Because there are many characters in the story, I am curious about how you plan to arrange the appearance of the characters in Chapter 2 in the future. Will they all appear?
I feel that coal is very cute .
For the past two years, I have been looking forward to the secrets in the story that have not yet been revealed .
I really hope Aiden and Cody can have a more intimate CG .😭😭😭
I'm just noticing that there's a lack of woof sounds or jokes for Alvy's route
Cause it's new
Please don't rush, take your time. The more time you take, the less mistakes you make and the more it is enjoyable to read in the end. We can wait a bit longer, nothing's bad about it.
But excellent stories always make people eager to see updates
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
MAKE MORE RIGHT NOW! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
I AM!
1,010 MegaBytes!?!?!?, Man I can play that
Heyy can someone help me to have the second page of aiden's nsfw please
Scribble count as main RO?
... Could it be he's not main ro bc IT'S NOT HIS REAL NAME OR DIRECTLY TO HIM??
I see that you does put effort into showing how the Lust Rush still effect when Cody try to ignored it in Alvy route.
And so my assumption was correct? We're doing a seven deadly sins? Pride, Envy, Lust and now Alvy with Greed.
What do you mean by the seven deadly sins? Could you explain more as this is rather interesting.
Well, the game introduce us to Scribbles which is a demon of Lust. Then we sees Therium also in contact with a demon and gains his power, Therium clearly have tendency towards jealousy. Which can be theories that his demon is Envy. Then Alvy dialogue with his ring where the said "Greed is ntc" and SCRIBBLES felt that the sentence was familiar.
Not sure if principal Lion is possessed by Pride or not but he sure is prideful.
This is a very interesting hypothesis, but that would be too complicated😂
I don't think there's any complications to it. Just another generals shounen who are useless, who made a friend with his inner demon to becoming powerful enough to fight against others demon or made alliances to some.
Seven deadly sins are a concept that are familiar and doesn't makes much of a difference to the plots. It's just add a touch to it, sound cool and think who as who yada yada.
Can someone tell me if i’m wrong or not, did Aiden’s route have a NSFW CG with his clone? Was it just my imagination?
it didn't
