Identity

Identity is a non-linear, horror/mystery visual novel with a plot based around the premise of self-rediscovery. You take on the role of Yarin Nyrok, an iguana who wakes up with no recollection of himself or anything else. Fortunately, you meet some odd people who are willing to help you, apparently old friends and some new acquaintances. Try to find out who you were, whatever caused you to wake up blank, and form new bonds and memories meanwhile. And if you can't uncover your old self, you may still form your own, new Identity!

The game features a diverse cast of dragons, lizards and other furry/scaly species. You will learn about their personalities, tastes and quirks while uncovering the mystery of your memory loss and the strange plot brewing in and around the Heaven's Peak Resort.

Is it NSFW?

Yes. Identity features lots of optional erotic content. You're able to hang out with the characters you meet during "free time" events, to develop your relationship with them on a romantic or purely platonic level and, as you may expect, to get it on with most of them. We intend to give you freedom here regarding whether you top or bottom. We aim for at least a couple of sex scenes per character.

This game will be primarily M/M and queer oriented, but this won't preclude us from adding straight scenes and female characters. Uncommon kinks and fetishes (such as BDSM, transformations and more) will also be featured.

Regarding non-sexual content, this game contains (or will contain): strong language, allusions to drugs, alcohol, self-destructive behaviour, violence, torture and horror.

Identity is an adult game which features explicit imagery. Make sure you meet the legal age requirements before playing it.

So is anyone else getting a grey screen when trying to run windows version or is it just my emulator exploding

Hey you've probably never had to deal with this but uhh is there any way to fix this

Love it!

Hey, is there an updated version of the OST somewhere? There`s a song ive looked everywhere for but still can`t find

(+1)

This is a good VN. 👍

(+2)(-1)

Would you guys ever consider adding more bad endings like with Mindalu? I just find the concept really hot lol, especially with how you wrote that one

(+2)(-1)

I am glad to hear you enjoyed the bad ending with Mindalu, hehe. More bad endings are planned. We are currently still in the middle of rewriting the game engine; we want to properly convey failure states before you become a "dead man walking" in order to avoid frustrations.

There is a scrapped "strike system" we used to have, but I have been thinking of reintroducing it as an optional feature, but we're still working on these features as we speak.

More bad endings will most likely come with Day 11 and so.

[SPOILERS}

During a Brymror in the restaurant, there is the option of Best Friend, Romantic, & Horny. I remember someone choosing "Romantic" & Brym having a positive reaction, but I have no idea how to achieve that. 

Does anyone know how?

I second this i would also like to know. 😅

I looked into it, it seems that I messed up something regarding the logic with Brym.

The highest progress score you can have with him is 2... but for the romance path it checks if you have a score of 3 or higher. I will adjust this.

Baku

I've been following the game for years now and I've loved it so far. Keep up the good work ^^

Unfortunately I do have a small bit feedback. Please, get someone to proof read everything, specially older content.  With the new update I decided to restart my saves and go through the story again, this time paying actual attention, and I've found several times things that didn't made sense or contradicted itself with earlier dates. 

For example, in my first run after returning from the Duskin camp, I had the option to visit Bradon's room. I was confused because we never talked after the scene at the bar with Brym. It wasn't until the second run that I realized he was supposed to approach you during breakfast and give you the offer, but it didn't for me in that run but still gave me the option. Or Brym mentioning what happens in the VIP bar in his first date after he decides to leave, even if you never hung out with him previously.

It could be a case of triggers not working properly due to the engine rework, but it leads to a lot of confusion sometimes.

(+2)

These encounters that you describe used to work properly, however after a variable refactoring, I must have still missed a few old variables. Brando will only approach you if you are "horny", which means being open to sexual encounters.

That is being tracked through choices you make earlier... however, if you don't see him asking you before you get the option to meet up with him, that is definitely a bug.

Currently, I am putting more focus into the engine rewrite, given that all the story script files will need to be re-implemented again. I don't want to make any promises, but I imagine I should be getting close to finishing up the engine rewrite in a couple months, hopefully.

Baku

Is this going to be continued because if it is would love to play it again!

New content is already in the works, and hopefully we can surprise you with many new features as well in future builds~

We are currently aiming for a bi-monthly release, but we will release builds sooner if we can. Currently, a full rewrite of the engine is taking up almost all of my dev time for Identity.

Baku

also please please pleeeeaase make the snake at the beginning dateable :D

(+1)

The snake has been planned since the start to be a major character, already. We haven't gotten around yet to releasing content with him yet, however we do actually have a scene written out with him already, that we can release in the current chapter.

I can't tell you if it'll make it in with the next build, but it should be soon.

Baku

(+1)

So far what I've seen is amazing, its really grabbed me, but I kinda feel like I need a guide or walkthrough to make sure I see everything, and the lack of a gallery doesn't really help either. 

Just that reading some comments here talking about "oh the scene on day x"  and I'm thinking "i don't remember seeing anything that could have led to that", I feel like I'm missing so much and have no way of knowing

(+1)

It is a common question we are getting as the game actually is starting to get quite voluminous with content.

While a dev-internal wiki is currently getting worked on, it's not going to be released to the public... at least not yet. However, we are currently working on an in-game feature to show you progress.

Baku

(+2)

Hi... I was just wondering whether there is some kind of spreadsheet to how to progress each character and get certain endings. If no is there any sex-scene with Cedrik?

Thank you in advance and nice work, i really love your game!

There is no sex scene yet with Cedrik. Behind the scenes I have been working on a dev-internal wiki to document our content. It's currently not a priority to release a changed (read: spoiler-free) version to the public yet.

However, with the Godot 4 engine rewrite we are planning to add an in-game feature that will tell you your in-game progress with a character.


Baku

People please for the use of this site share your library links so we can still search for the games and for other to find, mine is young and dont have much stuff in it but here it is

https://itch.io/c/5799798/mrenjoyers-collection

share the links everywhere so other players can find the games

i have saved some of the furry VNs in my collection. If you guys need it, go check my profile so y'all can save it because of these shadow-banned nsfw stuff

There is a bug were after first date with Brymror the game say's there is no more content for this character in this version

When are you trying to date him again? You can only access the second date when prompted during on Day 8 when you are in the bar with him.

Yes, immediately after his first date

It's working as intended. But I can take that as feedback that it seems unintuitive that you need to wait for a certain date.

Baku

(-1)

I'm kinda near the end of what's available. I find it intriguing that the side characters are more attractive to me than the datable ones. The serpent Yarin encounters at the beginning (who backs out when she realizes the VIP elevator is too full) stood out, but I think Zaran instantly became my husbando for this game.

(Next paragraph is most important for me, rest is just general thoughts)

Sad he doesn't have much available, the few scenes Yarin gets in proximity to him are nice and make me want to know this character more. Guess it's not too much to ask to add a date with him? I think his popularity might get a lot higher, based on the original log where he was added seems there was quite some love sprinkled into the "gentle giant." I could make my own scenes with him, but I think the magic is in seeing the author's iteration :P

As for the story itself? It's intriguing, I'm honestly glad to see a premise that isn't "human with furries/dragons/dinosaurs," but rather... some strange witchcraft gone wrong XD - This is coming from someone who recalls Roses In The Flames, Angels With Scaly Wings, Perihelion, DinoNite, Dino Of My Dreams, so there's a lack of variety, let alone visual novels that are complete in the first place. Oh, I should also praise the use of "non-human" names for the most part. Helped with immersion aside of a few that are off (Camila).

As for the characters? Well, lemme fill (the reader) in with my scoring grade. 5/10 is the worst you can go because it means the character is forgotten/forgettable. A 0/10 means you made a character perfectly incompatible with me and offensive :D, a 10/10 is making a character that's perfect for my tastes. Getting a 0 or a 10 is nearly impossible, but getting close isn't.

Zaran is a 9/10 based on what little I see of him. A few flaws in design with the black markings but far less offensive than Magma from Roses In The Flames XD (admittedly it's intriguing if those were actually just some kind of tattoo or added marking that only works on scales, if not even make-up because why not, he looks like the kind of goof to draw lines and shapes on his face as a sort of cosmetic)

Yarin - 8/10, good protagonist, not as offensively poorly written as in RiTF, not as great as in AWSW, but I can still question how he can remember some things when he's supposed to have amnesia, let alone remembering what other business scalies do that Kovle wouldn't. Some of the scenes were excellently written to the point even I was a little disoriented with what was going on.

Corvolin - 7.5/10, decent, I read there's far more to him than is currently in the game, I like myself a good, chunky character, and this one has quite the mystery included~ Success

Brymror - 8.2/10, a nudge above Yarin, I see him as a half feral so bonus points, and he reminds me of Blazamut from Palworld which apparently is also a design partially akin to that of Monster Hunter or some other game? Overdesigned, but fitting for his personality, and definitely does the irate archetype far better than RiTF. I see his behavior even more realistic than Yarin's considering what transpired. Definitely deserved the third date even though I haven't played a single one, but the main route stuff is great!

Cedrik - 7/10, I like the prospect that I may be able to "switch gender" sometime in the future. Wouldn't mind being a female if not even being transformed into a dragon due to some "misfortune," but I'll settle for dating Zaran. Back to Cedrik, he's okay, but I think he eventually blended into the background after I did his second date on day 3.

Kovle - 6.5/10, I'm not sure if his design fits entirely, but his character does. Had he not been an important character, he'd be forgettable, which is sad cause he seems to be of the few closest to being feral in this game.

Garreth - 4.5/10, I'm mixed here, Garreth seems nice and I do like some of his scenes at the bar, but I'm not the kind to like the extra buff guys, let alone the spikes around his neck. His goods look as nice as his personality but seems like a lost datable slot for me, especially when Brymror already does a great job at being the overdesigned buff one.

Azorin - 5.5/10, I'm mixed but leaning into the positives. Azorin's design definitely has grown on some people, not so much on me... The male organ definitely a questionable choice considering Garreth's but I can let it slide since I didn't mind Brando's. I'm not sure, I had a good time with this character but aside of being a coffee connoisseur, I feel he left little impact on me.

Mindala - 7/10, decent villain, sad she's the only fully feral western to get proper attention to her character. The bondage was interesting and I'm happy to see a bad ending to put some weight to Yarin's actions for once instead of the usual pop media just... Aside, I'm interesting to see where this character goes, if it needs to. These kinds of villains are quite intriguing to just piece together and figure out.

The kobold - (I'd make a joke of him being the best character but Zaran exists so) 8/10. He does his job and is memorable just by serving and occasionally having these moments where you're cut off just as he was gonna say something interesting. Also, the fantasy scene in Day 1, chef's kiss. Was not expecting it, but I appreciate it.

Brando - 7.5/10, he's a widow who's only warmed up to Yarin for the first time in who knows how long. He's quite effective as a character and if this was the only character with the humanoid shaped lamlam then that'd be quite a surprising but great choice.

The alligator - 4/10, much like Magma from RiTF, I'm not sure if I like random round markings on the face. Makes it hard to look at them. Aside of that, I think she blends nicely as a background character.

Camila - 5.5/10, she's the BDSM girl and has connections to the police chief. Not my type, but very sure someone will like her very much.

Roy - ?/10, haven't met this one yet, although a little disappointed to hear they're a wolf. I was kinda sold on this being a mostly scalies world, which made it stand out among furry media. Aside, I don't think I can judge this book by it's cover as that's all I know of them.

The deer one - 5/10, forgot their name, the only thing I remember of them is the notebook and having to repay them for interrupting their sleep.

Lucra - 2/10, I genuinely thought she'd be a dragon or even a succubus from what I heard from Cedrik. Being the female with the piercings and a species I have no interest in, she's probably the only character I'd actively avoid, but isn't a detriment to the novel enough to warrant a lower score.

I think that's all I have in mind, I never posted in itchio before so I dunno how the censorship regime works here. Just thought I'd post because my big boi Zaran needs some attention and I want to gib some :3

Thank you for your feedback, it was quite a treat to read.

As far as I am aware, there are no automods or the likes on itch.io, so moderation happens on each page based on the game/project owner. The only things we (Juicy Drakes Studios) delete in the comments are offensive comments and bots. "Offensive" doesn't mean criticism, but rather someone trying to bait others for hateful responses, etc.

I am a bit confused at why you don't like Lucra and Roy; the presence of mammals is important, given the in-universe happenings. Those happenings will become a bit more clear over time, but while we do focus on scalies, the occasional "furry" popping up isn't an accident or just us trying to appease one audience or the other.

The oddities you are noting with Brymror is because he was originally made by a different artist. We got more consistent with character design over time, so I am glad you enjoy the way we are currently designing characters.

Side-characters have gotten a lot more attention lately, since we are trying to make the first act of the game (everything up until you leave for the trip to the river) as solid as possible. The elevator kobold will even get a few more scenes at the very least.

Brando is a fan-favourite, so we will probably write more scenes for him, too.

Zaran is actually a patron character, so we haven't written more content for him yet, given that we are currently restructuring the game: Each character has gotten their own proper file and progression values.

It'll make it more modular and easier to write new content for each character. We are going to keep working on each of the characters; Garreth is going to get a full-on rework, but I (Baku) haven't been able to continue that yet since I am currently rewriting the entire game engine in Godot 4

Thanks a lot for your feedback again, and we hope you enjoy the updates that we'll present in the future!

Baku

wait, so the snake isn't datable, has no scenes?  damn thats a dissapointement.... no one ever does snakes v.v

(+1)

I missed your response, sorry.

The snake is intended to be dateable, which is why he is shown so early. The reason why he doesn't have any scenes yet is because of who he is. He has involvement in the plot which we couldn't reveal yet, but we are aiming to add a few early scenes with him. One is even written out so far, but not added to the game yet.

可以添加其他语言吗?比如说chinese谢谢

(+3)

None of us can speak or read Chinese, so if you are asking if there will be a localisation for Chinese: We don't have any plans for any localisations, currently.

We want to finish the game (in English) first, before we pay for any potential localisations, as our game as-is is focused on writing.

Translating our game is a non-trivial task, as we do have lots of flowery writing and puns, for example.

It seems we forgot to add the devlog for version 0.3.12. We will be summarising it together with 0.3.13, as that build should be making out in April.

I hope that we'll be able to ship it either next week or the one afterwards.

Baku

so?

where 0.3.13 at? its may

this was one of my first "furry" vns along with morenatsu, wolfstar, extracurricular, repeat, nekojishi, echo, LD, kingsguard and adastra. u guys will forever have my heart & support. im excited for future updates.

Wow.... Just wow.... i was enamored and captivated and swayed with emotion at all times... what a freaking amazing experience... PLEASE keep up the amazing work. i had so much to do before i was told it was the end of the current version!!  5 out of 5 on this. thank you for making it this far ^^

(1 edit)

Where's the devlog and the 32.bit version?

I don't know if it's intended or a bug but on android you are only able to access your last 3 saves.

(+8)

0.3.12 Devlog?😅

Hi! Will the save system be reworked in the future to make it more ergonomic? Like a basic page system to better manage your progress according to the character we want to romance? Because the current system is very confusing and above all it would be relevant if the game focused only on a single romanceable character or for a story really linear.

(+1)

It is already getting reworked at the moment due to a lot of persistent bugs with how the game saves the game state.

We didn't have plans yet to change the UX of it, but you bring up a good point that you don't see any differences in the state of a save file aside from the date and the thumbnail.

Given just how many characters you can progress with at the same time, it's a little bit of a conundrum how to convey relevant information.

We will be brainstorming about this, but I wouldn't expect a change in the UX to come out soon.

At the moment I am focusing on improving forward compatibility of save files.

Baku

How many more updates do you think it would have before it is released??

(+4)

It's a tricky question to answer, but we are aware of how slow our progress is. We can't really give you an estimate, but we are hoping to finish this game within two years.

We currently have to overcome a massive bump with the game engine but once we are past that, I (Baku) can focus almost entirely on writing.

Currently, two writers (Gherod and Baku) produce all the writing content for the game, but with myself currently working on programming that has slowed things down a bit.

We are still hoping to release a build this month, but until I am done with the engine fixes, I find it hard to foresee when we will release 1.0.0.

I am sorry, I could not give you a more satisfying answer, but we work as quickly and as hard as we can.

Baku

Thankyouuuuu

Thought this was dead; so glad it's still being worked on. 🔥

Any chance of an update for Kovle

(+1)

There will actually be more content with Kovle in version 0.3.13. We are also refining his current existing content.

(+1)

Great good to know cause it seems like he's the least favorite, according to fans.

(+3)

That heckin stinks, I actually really enjoy Kovle D;

(+4)

I have always been under the impression that Garreth is the least favourite character at the moment, but we will also be refining his existing content after Kovle.

We get requests for more Kovle content fairly often along with Cedrik.

Baku

After nearly 5 years of waiting for a second date with Cedrik, I’ve finally read it, and I must admit, he’s my favourite of the cast now!

Also, thank you for… opening my eyes to some things about myself. Definitely going to be looking forward to the development of that certain route.

(2 edits) (+1)

Hello there,

this really made our day, thank you a lot for your comment.

I am currently working on an entirely new framework to support the intersex content. It also involves determining how many times you've had sex with which characters and also in what contexts.

I am not sure how much of a continuation this route with Cedrik will get with the next patch, but, I am planning to release more intersex content with the next build... however, for the public build that will be two versions away.

I don't know when the update afterwards will come out, but if we keep up our bi-monthly release schedule, it'll be in February 2025.

Lone_Wanderer

There's no gallery?

Not yet, it has been on the backburner/our to-do list for a while but other things ended up taking priority. Right now, we are going to start working on an inventory screen.

We will let you know, when we get around to creating the gallery.

Lone_Wanderer

I'm having a weird issue where no matter what I do I cannot use my keyboard to advance text. It is opening the menu no matter what even though it is supposed to be able to advance text with either enter or spacebar. Is this a common bug or is it somehow just me?

I have not heard of this bug before. Does this still occur after closing and opening the game again?

I have not tested this game on Linux or Mac, so I am not sure if this is an OS-specific problem.

Lone_Wanderer

It finally cleared up, but only after multiple uninstalls and reinstalls. This was in Windows for reference. Current thinking was it was a slightly damaged download as I was using the itch desktop app and my internet is a little spotty at times.

(+1)

I would like to express my opinion regarding this new update. Spoiler Alert!







We finally got a date with Brando, and it was really sweet in my opinion. After seeing Cedrik with that nice body I expect that in the next Date with him there will be a NSFW scene. I'm also really curious about that silver dragon Camila was involved with, I hope that in the next few days he can be a character we can have Dates with. The plot seems to be progressing well, towards the end it seemed to me that Yarin's sanity was lowering while he was in the elevator and that scene with the demon gave me a really bad feeling.

If I may make a suggestion for the next update, I would like to see some CGs added for the Date with Azorin, especially the scene in his hotel room; then I would like to see dates for the characters who have less of them, so they can catch up with the others, so to speak.

I thank you at Juicy Drake Studios for reading and I look forward to hearing from you!

(+1)

We really enjoyed reading your comment, thanks a lot. Seeing you and others get excited makes our work all worthwhile.

Without giving away too much, we do have plans for the spoiler characters you mentioned.

As far as dates for other characters go: we actually are currently working on them. The next big content drop will be a rework to days 6 - 8 given that they are fairly short compared to all other days.

It'll allow for characters like Kovle to get some time to show up.

Regarding CGs of Azorin: Do you mean such for the sex scene? Because they should be in the build unless you are referring to something else.

Lone_Wanderer

Yes, I am referring to the sex scene at the Azorin event, both while they are kissing and undressing and while they are on the bed. 

(+1)

It seems that more people are not seeing it, so we'll be fixing it. Maybe we will be releasing another hotfix before we push the next build in December.

Roy is my favorite. The wolf is just so sexy and boyfriend material

We had a lot of fun writing him, heh.

Glad you enjoy him, he will show up again in the future as you can imagine~

Im obsessed with Corvolin...i hope theres more content with him soon =3 maybe a sexy bad ending..heh great work yall!

(+1)

Corvolin is one character that has been on my mind quite a bit as well. There is already a lot of content with them that isn't finished yet.

It is probably one of the most expansive characters I have written yet, but as a result, writing this content has taken me longer.

I am hoping to get to work on Corvolin next again, actually.

Lone_Wanderer

Is the idea to have a Spanish translation?

(2 edits)

We do not have any plans for localisations outside of "Maybe after the game is finished".

Considering that we're just about to get into act 2, and we still have at least 3 more ahead of us, there won't be any localisations for a long while.

I also call it "localisation" and not "translation" because, for example, a lot of the jokes that characters like Cedrik crack are puns which you cannot translate 1:1.

Currently, we just do not have the time or funding to hire another person to localise the game for us into any other language, and then also to check their content.

Lone_Wanderer

ooh, I understand, there are no problems, I just wanted to ask, there is a lot of potential in the story, it is better to concentrate completely on the whole novel and finally if you want there are translators that you can hire without having to pay them, good luck and strength for the work team

Lucky for you, the next update happened to be just around the corner~

Lone_Wanderer

(-1)

I noticed when you talk with Cedrik (I already forgot how to spell his name) and you commit to say yes to an option, I was wondering if you had anything planned with that. Also, I absolutely love your story writing and art!

(+1)

You were correct, Cedrik is how his name is spelled!

I have already been planning out the framework for the intersex path. I even started to write out a bit of content for it. It will also be accessible through other characters, but there will be variations.

So, short answer: Yes, there is content planned for it!

And I am glad to hear you've been enjoying our content. We hope to deliver more very soon~

Lone_Wanderer

Lol, i thought it ended with a c but i doubted myself and with with k but thats really cool to hear that there will be an intersex path! I look forward to your updates and can't wait when the game finishes! <3

Just reached the end of the build and I was audibly disappointed that it didn't keep going. 

Super enjoying Identity so far, excited to see more in the future
