Lyre

why every game I play either something weird happened or I glitch/break it

Do I read this now or do people recommend waiting for the Definitive Edition? 

I just finished it and oh my god it is amazing, so lovely, yet heartbreaking, so hopeful, yet filled with despair, The perfect balance!! I just wish there was MORE!

i'm not sure if i broke the game or something but i don't see any choices or options  

Oh my god this game is just great, I put off reading this novel for a long time thinking it was boring and comparing it to other bad furry visual novels I already knew. But, omg, this game is just great! It's wonderful! I hope the author is not a nationalist, a Russian guy is writing this to you, I read and am writing this to you through a translator and God, I am in complete shock, you they really did a great job on this plot, the characters are well done, you can feel that they are alive, the motivation is visible and it is interesting to watch each character, and that same arc with Adrius great! They showed perfectly what will happen if a person who should not take the throne takes it, I am now very interested in observing the dynamics of the relationship of each of the characters, I have theories that from the king they can turn away and he will be left all alone! I don’t know what can await this novel in its next part, but I’m already terribly interested, I’m building a plot in my head, there are so many ideas that I I'm going to explode if I think about it too long! You are great and your work is not in vain, I'm sure of it! Keep up the good work! I hope there will be news about the next part soon!

When is dryz coming????z

I have a question that should raise awareness about Lyall's homosexuality before Ritcher's arrival in Lyre

How to rate?

Pls tell me I'm lost

Hi! I read the lyre and fell in love with it. Looking at Dryz I saw the poem on the itch.io page and wrote this one. Hope you like it. The poem might include spoilers.

(English isn’t my main language so there might be some spelling or grammatical mistakes, any correction is appreciated)

A river of red, by madness spread, 

Will the truth cleanse what has been bled? 

Or the will of the new king tear through the night, 

To bury this scar out of mortal sight?

The heavens may weep, their torrents fall,

Yet even God alone cannot cleanse it all.

The lovers cry out, but the stain remains, 

Etched in silence, bounded by chains.

Will the flames arise, devouring the land, 

With antlers of fire, with a scorching hand?

And when the ash settles, as soft as snow,

Will he recall the wrongs he sowed?

For blood once spilled is a tale long told, 

And neither storm nor fire can make it gone…

One of the most amazing things I've read! The mysteries keep me on the edge of my seat, and I adore looking forward to what's going to happen to Richter and Lyall! The balance of suspense, darkness, and sweetness makes following our heroes (and villains) that much more interesting. Plus, Richter and Lyall are just so sweet together, so what's not to love?

Thank you for putting in such great work, and I look forward to what's being cooked up in the future! :D

God damn am I excited for Dryz. I already like dark stuff, but aside from that, all of the characters are really good. I like Elizabeth, Lyall, the bird doctor guy, and a lot more characters. Also, I can't wait to beat Adrius' ass in the sequel. Awesome VN, 10/10.

i just finished reading it and oh boy it was gorgeous the music,the art,the bg and pretty much the rest of it 

is it weird that i love them being together? they're just so adorable 

really looking forward on the next sequel!

I finished this masterpiece today and i have no words it's just incredibly amazing, i'm so excited for what to comes next! Again i have no words to explain how beautiful and well writen this story is, i loved all the characters and hopefully my beloveds have an happy ending! (Except Adrius) I'll be looking forward and wish you all the luck and success for the next stories, i know they will be as wonderful and amazing as this one!! <33

Read the whole thing over the course of a couple of days. Art was great, music was fantastic, story was wonderful, noun followed by praising adjective. Would heavily recommend giving a read. 

I literally read this to the point I skipped sleep cause I couldn't put it down. So often I caught myself holding my breathe waiting for what would come next at certain points. This was so beautifully written I don't have words to express my gratitude towards you. It hit so hard in the best way possible making me get incredibly attached to the main characters. Once I reached the end of this I felt like there was a void in my soul sitting here unable to read anything else because all I can think about right now is how I want more of this world you have created and Lyall! I will for sure be supporting on Patreon to help further your endeavors in all your future VN's <3 please keep going, you are amazing

Is that oswald from eden's reach in the ballroom?

i've spent a whole day going through this vn, and i gotta say it's amazing. the arts are good ( although personally i think the 3rd picture in this webpage looks a bit weird about the left arm ) . the musics are not only wonderful but working perfectly alongwith the stories, especially two named Genuine Thoughts and Eyes That See the Horizon . the stories however are my favorite part of the vn . how the two main character meet, get along with , fall in love with each other,  and how they put everything they can for each other reminds me what true love stands for - pure adoration, devotion and support for each other. that's what deeply touches my heart, as i've been numbly living a single life for years and almost forget what love is. it's a shame that i didn't come across this vn earlier.

i'm sorry for my strange way of expression, since i'm not a native english speaker.  but i suddenly gained an uncontrollable impulse to share my thoughts right after reading this vn .  Overall , i really love this vn . can't wait for the next project !

Omg, just finished reading this wonderful vn and I LOVED it!! It is currently my second favorite vn ive ever read, cant wait for the second vn Dryz to come out! I'll be waiting!

Is this game fully done?

This game is nswf or sfw???

Hello, I hope you don't mind that I archived the game in the link below, would it be possible for you to make the older versions listed available for completeness? loved the game by the way :3

I am not well-acquainted with visual novels (I've only played three others, one of them being a FVN), but Lyre was a very nice experience. The characters are well-written, the visuals are pretty, but above all is the music; it really sells the atmosphere, and I've found myself coming back to it several times since finishing.

My biggest gripe is that Lyre is not a self-contained story. While it doesn't end on a cliffhanger, it doesn't conclude at a solid stopping point and there are several story threads that remain largely unanswered. I don't say this as a criticism, just as an FYI to people scrolling the comments (and there is a sequel planned!). Unlike other media with this attribute (such as 2021's Dune), I'd still recommend Lyre if it interests you. Even if it's not the whole story, it does still tell a whole arc.

Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed Lyre. It was a nice romance in a fantastical setting, which was exactly what I was looking for. I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for Dryz and other future works!

I just made an account to say that i enjoyed this story a lot and i cannot wait for it to continue, i love adrius as a charecter, he is so broken its amaizing. (And lief is my fave, he's so cute, give my man more screen time in the sequal please)

Just finished reading it and I enjoyed it more than I thought it would! glad I waited so long to start so I can binge all of it haha. My only small critique is that Adrius is definitely in need of a sprite update since he always looks like a child to me. That being said - can't wait for Dryz!

I absolutely loved this VN! I binged read for the past four days and I'm absolutely in love with this series. As a writer myself, I applaud the author for making great complex characters and having good pacing throughout the story. The universe is interesting and I'm eager to learn more about Dryz and see Richter and Lyall's relationship grow in the next book! I would have to give this story a 9/10. Not to mention that the art looks very beautiful! One of the pictures made me flabbergasted at the amount of colors and detail in it. I added the soundtrack to my YouTube playlist as throughout the VN; the music enhances the scenes. For example, when Lyall's theme plays I get a sense of feeling safe in his presence and he is that person who you truly feel happy with.

I often be at a moment saying, "Damn, this music sounds really good!"

Keep up the great work and I subscribed to the patreon as well!

P.S. I love it when VN writers KNOW how to write complex characters because apparently some writers in the gaming industry can't write a complex character correctly leading to them being messed up!
