Overview:
Join our lil ‘red panda protagonist, as he meets critters and explores the Forest of Love! Does the land live up to its name? Is there more to the forest than meets the eye?
The game is segmented into 5 “acts.” The first, second, and third are all quest/story oriented, the fourth being the climax of the campaign, and the fifth being “post-game” – which is essentially a glorified gallery, but serves as further world exploration, additional quests, and continuity of the world and the critters stories~!
Gameplay-wise, it’s a top-down pixel adventure. There is no combat, so think something more along the lines of Animal Crossing (EXCEPT YA BANG).

v0.19d
- Remixed Music! New sounds/takes to our older classic music! Finally y’all can hear the work of our Musician, SoulOfLuca! We’ll provide links ‘n stuff once we have their accounts. (btw, if for whatever reason, you want the classic experience, we want to have an option for that in the future! Remember that gift Maverick gave you?)
- Bucky and Oliver full animated scene! This replaces the earlier placeholder loop. Gossip with Ollie about breaking the bridge, gossip with Bucky about who broke the bridge, then meet them on a date in front of Maverick’s shop.
- Coyotes and Rascal bukkake date with two variations! The date spawns near Maverick’s shop with 100% chance after you gossip with the coyotes about Partying. Once you play the date you can access the other variation by gossiping with the coyotes again.
- A fix for the Finley shearing bug that sometimes caused a softlock. (This one we were hunting FOREEEEVER! We were super stoked to find it finally!)
- Properly looping music! Now all of our tracks loop properly and you can hear it in the intended way!
- Polish, bugfixes, and a few new examinable objects.
v0.19c
– Added post-Act 2 critter idles! At the end of Act 2, critter idles will automatically change flavor to better reflect the story’s new plot points and the latest turn of events. [Chapter select: “After Act 2”]
– Added Rascal’s date with Scarlett and Penny, with full color illustrations. Dates spawn near Maverick’s shop. To spawn this date, you’ll first need to gossip with Scarlett about Penny, then play the followup Scarlett gossip about Cloaca Fisting, then gossip with Penny about Cloaca Fisting, then play their first date which spawns at 100% chance. THEN you’ll get the new date which spawns at 100% chance!
– Added “Novice” stage to Dustin minigame. This has a slew of new attacks and all-new choreography. Unlike Training mode, players will have limited hits to pass the Novice stage! The new stage unlocks automatically after finishing the Training stage, but only after the end of Act 2!
– Added a short minigame for collecting Finley’s wool once he’s been sheared. The game uses a particle system and wind system to puff little wool balls around the mountainside for Rascal to collect.
– Updated Start Menu logo and background. Added some fun new particle effects including start menu falling leaves and dust clouds under Ollie’s feet as he runs.
– You can now ride Ollie back after visiting the coyotes, unless he’s already walked away.
v0.19a
– Added Penny + Mabel date with full color illustration. (Dates spawn near Maverick’s shop. This date will spawn in Central Forest with 100% chance.)
– Reworked the end of act 1 victory sequence. (You can jump to it in Chapter Select!) The forest critters will now come together to build the bridge, and you can chat with each of them.
– Reworked the Ruins area to the west of the Lake. Check it out, lots of lush new forestry! :>
v0.19
-Added Coyotes and Finley date with full color illustration! (Dates spawn near Maverick’s shop. First you must deliver the wool! Then the date will spawn in Central Forest with 100% chance.)
-Added Coyotes solo story with full color illustration! (This is available from their gossip menu. First ask them about them being Competitive, then ask about them liking to Party)
– Added Oliver and Bucky date with work-in-progress animation! (Dates spawn near Maverick’s shop. First gossip with Ollie about ‘Breaking the Bridge’, then gossip with Bucky about ‘Who Broke the Bridge’. Then the date will spawn in Central Forest with 100% chance.)
– Updated the some stuff on the south side of the river in Central Forest. You’ll see a lot of things moved around! Feel free to explore.
– There’s also mysterious runes scattered everywhere! They all play the same interaction message for now.
v0.18
-Added Oliver and Coyotes date with full color illustration! (Dates spawn near Maverick’s shop. This date is multiple parts! So for this build, the first part spawns with 100% chance, and the following parts with 50% chance.)
-Added Finley and Rascal full sex animation. (It plays after shearing him, or you can watch in Start Menu > Gallery)
-Added dialogue support for movies in Start Menu > Gallery! (Use the toggle on the right of the gallery menu.)
-Now you can rewatch unlocked stories & legends from Start Menu > Gallery!
-Redesigned the movie gallery in Start Menu. (You can cheat to unlock all the movies by typing “movies” in the gallery menu, or by using the Konami code (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right) on your gamepad.)
-Redesigned the menu for starting/continuing games in Start Menu. Now you can start a fresh game, jump ahead to Act 1 or Act 2, or fast forward to see the latest monthly build progress.
-Chapter select is now available in the pause menu, so you can get to it quickly when playing with a gamepad.
-Under the hood: made major progress upgrading the savegame system to keep track of the content you’ve unlocked from version to version. BUT there were too many bugs to publish to the overhaul this month, so we rolled back to the old save system instead! For now you’ll have to replay any previously unlocked Gossips, Dates and Gifts.
v0.17
Bucky and Augustus date #2 with full color illustrations! (Dates spawn near Maverick’s shop. This date spawns with a 20% chance after Bucky and Gus’s first date.)
-New Maverick gossip (“Do you have a partner?”) with full color illustration.
-Finley’s sex scene is now a full color loop. (It plays after shearing him, or you can watch in Start Menu > Gallery)
-Under the hood: reworked memory management to keep sex scenes in memory only when needed, reducing the game’s RAM usage.
With so much nonlinear content, we will be upgrading the savegame system soon to keep track of the content you’ve unlocked from version to version. (For now you’ll have to replay any previously unlocked Gossips, Dates and Gifts.)
v0.16
Lanora legend Part 2 with full color artwork!
Peter, Bucky and Scarlett date with full color artwork! Also three additional textual dates (Scarlett and Penny, Bucky and Augustus, and Mabel and Maverick) The dates will spawn randomly nearby Maverick’s shop after you finish Maverick’s delivery quest. (You must play Penny’s gossip about cloaca fisting before her date with Scarlett can spawn.)
Critter gifts! There are five different gift objects you can be given. One of these upgrades your Notebook with a new page between Quest Log and Inventory. Augustus, Maverick, Oliver, Peter and Scarlett will give you the gifts by a random chance anytime after you collect Finley’s wool.
Central Forest fast travel perch.
14 new individual gossips, and two gossips you can ask all the critters.
With so much new nonlinear content, we will be upgrading the savegame system soon to keep track of the content you’ve unlocked from version to version. As always, if you find a bug in the current version, please report it on https://tfol.info or in our Discord channel!

– Added Mabel’s solo story with full color artwork (one of her gossips!)
