Clawed Connections
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Welcome to Clawed Connections. This VN is now for 18+/21+ or 16+ (if SFW is enabled)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a world where humanoid beasts, dragons, and other fantastic creatures dominate, survival is a battle of both the body and the soul. Clawed Connection follows the journey of a young tiger humanoid, captured and thrust into a life of servitude. As tensions rise among powerful factions, including the imposing dragon Dancan, the enigmatic wolf warrior Raoul, and the cunning rabbit strategist Alvirn, the protagonist must navigate a treacherous world of enslavement, political intrigue, and personal identity.
With freedom tantalizingly out of reach, the protagonist is caught in a dangerous game where allegiances are uncertain, and every decision carries a cost. Will they rise above their chains, or fall deeper into the power struggles of their captors?
Set in a dark medieval fantasy world where strength and cunning are the only means of survival, this visual novel delves into themes of power, loyalty, and self-discovery. The choices you make will shape the protagonist's fate in ways you can only begin to imagine.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The VN features themes of M/M sex, violence and other things that may be disturbing to read and watch, please do not read and/or download if you are not at least 18 years old.
The VN is updated every 1 or 2 months, since it has multiple paths, I want to keep them all at the same level by updating them in rotation. Remember that the VN is a WIP (Work In Progress)
Currently only available for PC. Available for Win / Linux / Mac and Android

there is no Fenrad scene in 4.1, it just says to be continued
This is what I understand because mobile phones only update the main content if I understand what they are saying.But if I am wrong in any way, please forgive me and let me know.
Hey, to better explain, to you and anyone else, my choice was purely functional. Not even two weeks ago I had to format my PC, and while I was working on the VN, I didn't reconfigure Renpy to convert files for Android. I tried doing that before publishing the bug fix, but I only got an error from the program regarding Java 21.
I apologize again if most of you preferred the Android version, but for that reason I can't release the Android version.
Sorry!
Okay, thanks for letting me know. I hope I didn't make you angry.
I'm confused how to get the Fenrad nsfw scene. After accepting his offer (for life or once, both end up the same), when I meet him again at the lake and follow him, it just cuts to me suddenly in the woods alone after a sex scene I never saw.
I tried following the instructions in your reply to another comment, but they were confusingly worded and didn't help.
Hey! You were right, your comment made me recheck that whole section, and I realized there was indeed a problem. As I wrote in the post, during my checks, I missed the issue because the variables weren't set correctly and were leading to the wrong path.
I apologize for the delay in my response, and thank you for reading my VN!
When is the final update coming out?
Hey, the final update is a long way off, but the next update isn't even close...
I'm having trouble finding a BG artist who can join the team to replace the one who had to leave.
I don't know when the next update will be released; I'm sorry for this undefined delay.
If I don't find a resource in the next few months, I think I'll go back to AI-made BGs, even if they're not the best and aren't appreciated.
Oh, I see. It’s not really a good idea to use AI. Why don’t you ask other people who make VNs like this? That way, it would avoid using AI in projects of this kind
Well, I’m not going to speak for the creator, but I imagine he has his own reasons. Using an AI might not be the best thing, but sometimes it’s incredible how AI can create masterpieces. UwU
But well, asking for help from another VN isn’t that crazy, and if you think about directly asking artists on Twitter, good luck xD.
I don't like VN creators using AI at all either but it's understandable to use as a placeholder until an artist can be found. I'm especially more forgiving because CC is this particular creators first VN.
They can't just will someone to become their background artist. They have to find someone that fits their needs and style. That on top of actually finding an artist that's available is a lot harder than people realize. Then they have to procure funds to pay said artist. There's a lot of moving parts when making a VN.
You’re right about that 😄 Since it’s his first real VN, it wouldn’t look very good or professional if he started using AI 🤔 Especially because AI in visual novels isn’t that great yet 😅
I just hope we can help him out or that he’ll find a solution 🙏 Either way, I’ll keep supporting the project 💪💖
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 this shadow-banned nsfw stuff
For anyone who sees this message and has no idea what's happening in itch.io right now big card corporations are issuing itch.io to shadowban and possibly BAN every nsfw game and novel on the platform. If you live in the United States I urge you to contact your respective congressman and ask them to vote for the Fair Access to Banking Act so that these big card corporations don't ruin all the hard work these wonderful devs put into their games/novel!!!
I'm bouta crash out man. Completely fictional games that feature adult elements-"OMG THINK OF THE CHILDREN BAN IT!!!" guy who literally had sex with minors and was best friends with eppstein- "make this man our president, he's a true American!"
https://itch.io/updates/update-on-nsfw-content
yeah its rly sad
Hi there, I'm pretty confused! How come the CGs are only in the files but haven't been implemented to the novel?
Hi! Thanks for reading the VN, I wanted to check the code, just to be sure, as you are not the only one who reported this problem to me, but it seems that through the correct path you get to the CG of Fenrad and Raoul, being for now the only ones present in the game.
Maybe you skipped that part but you unlocked the content, in that case, I suggest you look in the image gallery of that character.
If you need any help, feel free to contact me! Thanks again for reading the VN! See you!
Yeah I think I do need help! I'm simply unsure which choices would lead to Fenrad's CG as no options seem to change the outcome. Thank you, I really enjoyed Clawed Connections!
I don't like to help but I'll make an exception, to understand if it's a real problem.
When you meet Fenrad, you are given a choice between Accept and Refuse, Accepting you continue with Fenrad's path, until another possible choice, obviously based on the choices it will be something singular or continuous, that's your choice. From there the story will return to Raoul, continuing with what will happen next until you meet Fenrad again.
To meet him again before arriving at the first meeting with Fenrad, you must have decided to "use Raoul" to escape, or, another way to meet Fenrad again, is to decide not to have a relationship with Fenrad, which happens if you decide to stay with him for life, but only doing what he asks once.
As I said some time ago, every choice, even past ones, affects future choices, so as to give different possible endings even for the same Route.
Enjoy!
Soo any info on fenred cg? Please help
I think he doesn't have one yet
Perfect timing!:Đ time to read
Suggestion (add a prologue).
> Clawed Connection follows the journey of a young tiger humanoid, captured and thrust into a life of servitude.
it's great that you describe this in the description of the game but it's absent in the context of the game during the beginning of the game when the main character is captured.
Hey, thanks for the suggestion, sorry for the very late reply but there were personal unforeseen events that kept me away from the VN, unfortunately I can't say much, except that it was intentional!
In any case, I will take this into account to add more content about it, I could, without realizing it, have deviated from my main content.
Thanks again for the suggestion and for reading the VN!
I NEED Fenrad . . .
will be waiting patiently for his route :D
edit: great read so far, highly recommended to those who haven't started yet ^-^
I'm enjoying the story and I find the concept interesting, but it's kind of hard to swallow Raoul Path with the "you killed my friends and kidnapped me", I kind of grew resentment towards him, and at no point did he show remorse for anything and that makes everything she's done so far seem more like he's taking care of MC like a pet, I don't like him, but out of all the other two routes his seems to have the most interesting story... but I feel emotionally very distant from the character himself.
● But overall I really liked the story and how each route is different, each main character has a distinct personality, Dancan strongly gives off the vibe of an antagonist while Alvirn gives off the vibe of a hero, in fact, when I started reading I didn't expect Alvirn to become my favorite.
I'm looking forward to more of this universe.
Thanks for reading the VN, to avoid spoilers, I can confirm what you said about Alvirn and Dancan, as for Raoul, his is a much more complex story from every point of view, as his story is transcribed from a BG of a D&D character that I wrote some time ago, I don't want to give you further spoilers, so I'll stop here but I'll take this opportunity to say that some things will be changed, not because of the comment, but because the story will do it, in the next update, which unfortunately for me will have a considerable delay due to IRL issues, I don't know how much the whole thing will be postponed, but in any case the amount for supporters will not be charged for this month regarding build 3.0. Thanks again and I hope you will also like Raoul's path once more in depth.
I had a quick question: will the game have other versions than English? I mean, will there be other languages for example French or Spanish?
Also, I just downloaded your game but haven't played it yet, I'll probably wait for version 3.0
Hey Thanks for downloading the game, for other languages besides English as I posted in other posts, I would need help with translation, unfortunately my knowledge of languages is little and not enough to be able to translate the VN in other languages besides English and Italian (version that is still to be updated to the current 2.0 and that will be updated directly for 3.0). If you want, write to me through Discord to propose yourself as a translator in other languages!
I wouldn't have said no to help you but frankly I have no experience in terms of coding maybe translation but coding level impossible :p
Translation and coding are separate fortunately so you don't need experience in that field.
Ah well I didn't know where the honesty lies, I don't know at all how VNs work, or Ren'py u_u?
oh shit, I enjoyed the story from start to finish for a non-complete version,
I'm happy about this, as I've warned other users/readers, another update will be released in mid-October that will greatly lengthen the story for Raoul, and then Dancan, Alvirn and another character!
Thanks again for reading the VN!
I've been seeing this VN for a while, I'm thinking about a comment, to begin with I think the characters are magnificent, the environment, not much to say (well we'll come back to that later) especially since I like the style medieval, honestly it does the job
Question:
a quick and simple question if I understood correctly, will it have an RPG mode?
Bug:
towards the end of the Raoul road
Suggestions/Note:
well frankly I think it could be improved a little, just like the environment of the characters even if I find that there is no need to retouch them afterwards, that's just my point of view. view. see. view, plus the game is still in development, I suppose the rating I can give between 3 and 5 but I'm not going to be difficult, I give it 5 stars, I like the story I like Raoul because 'he's sexy lol
Thanks for the comment and the rating, I'm glad you like it and that you find Sexy Raoul, even if maybe he will be replaced by the latest character coming 👀.
Regarding what you asked, Yes, there will be an RPG mode, which will influence over time with the story, it will not be the classic life bar, skill, but it will be held on a "character training" that in times of need will influence certain moments if needed, creating different paths based on the result of the fight. Everything will be chosen (the training) based on the character you choose to have the romance, so, for Raoul, in your case, it will be as a warrior.
Regarding the Bug, it was reported to me, I still have not understood where the problem is because in version 2.1 the bug does not happen to me but to some it continues to pop up, I therefore decided to develop the 3.0 (in addition to the fact that Raoul won the pool) in his Route, so that Bug, I hope, will be fixed and will be replaced with the story. For the class etc, we will talk about it already from this version.
I also thank you for the suggestion, I'm curious, and if you want, just answer me under this comment, or write me on Discord, how you think it would be convenient/interesting to improve the environment of the characters.
Just to say, maybe Raoul, will have something to show 👀 , just to say
Thanks again and get ready for the public release which will be in mid October and mid September for the Patreon!
Even if I wanted to see the MC get fucked by Raoul that would be nice x)
So when I said maybe improve the environment a little for example, when the MC wakes up and he goes with (Raoul ) to put a little animation as if the environment was moving, or when the (MC) wakes up the animation of the environment such as for example there is wind or the leaves are falling or when the (MC) wakes up see the first time (Raoul) playing with the light effects in a dark place the character is a little dark or in a lit place we see him a little more or when he takes a shower where he is dirty we see, (these are only small ideas and suggestions) perhaps add a small animation like the eyes of the characters where he breathes (Small cutscenes even if I'm asking a little too much) so these are ideas that I give you so depending on you decide what you want to do ^^
Speaking of bugs, this is the part where you want to choose a dialogue, it seems to me that nothing is happening and so you're a bit stuck, I don't know if it's on purpose
Interesting, as ideas they are interesting and I hadn't even thought of putting them, so I'll see what I can invent based on what you suggested, regarding the bug yes, you confirmed to me that it is what others are also encountering and no, it is not wanted, theoretically you shouldn't see that choice as it is part of the next build (I had prepared it)
And about the MC getting fucked by Raoul, who knows? 👀
A very good idea (Aion Blood) but don't forget that animations can cause lags ^^
What a promising VN! I'm looking forward to your creativity in the next updates:)
Thanks for reading my VN! The next update will be released in mid September or late September/early October, this will depend more on the artists how long it takes them to create all the new skins! See you soon!
possibly the best main character name for the game
AHAHAHAH Well, Points of view 👀
Got to the point where I wake up after hearing about the initiation and none of the options work to keep going. Rip.
i'll fix when i come back to home, sorry for the issue
I'm playing the app version but this error keeps coming up every time the mc talks
I don't know what changed, but version 2.0 is not available for download via the app, even though prior versions were.
Umh.. maybe i do something wrong during the upload or the build creation, i'll do a check tomorrow, for the app, you mean android version?
Not the android version. The itch.io desktop application.
ok, thanks for the report, i'll do a check on it, maybe something change and i don't saw that, sorry for the bad issue😓
You need to note which file belongs to which platform, if you don't app won't "see" what file to download and just do nothing. It's also won't notify about updates. This problem exist only for itch client, site downloads are manual.
Awesome game :3
請問有中文版本嗎
A Chinese version can be integrated in the future with the help of the community, my knowledge of Chinese is poor and not enough to be able to translate it.
了解，我很期待中文整合版本問世的那天
I think it's a pretty good game as well. The starting story is quite interesting and interesting. Search right now and I'll give it four stars because if there's an update I'll give it 5 stars. I think your game should be good, but notice what you choose to do. I really like your game and I will wait to follow yours 🤍🦊
Thanks for your comment, the next update will be in mid-June for the Patreon, while the Public version will be released at the end of June. Soon, on Twitter, a spoiler will be released regarding version 2.0 which will be much richer in content and plot!
Wow, I will wait and follow up.🤍🦋
just played,
there's not much yet, still it was interesting enough, i wonder that other routes/character are in planning, but congrats for it being your first try at doing a game.
there's a bug when after you hear Raoul hurting himself and go to check him, sprites overlap, it shows him both already clothed and his naked version at the same time.
Thanks for the feedback, but above all for pointing out the problem of the overlapping images, I'll proceed to resolve everything, so that in the next patch (not the one releasing the continuous story) everything will be alright!
As for the characters, there are 3 more being worked on by the artist, and, consequently, 3 other accessible routes, all of which, if my skills and timing allow me, will be developed at the same time while maintaining all 4, more or less, on the same level of completion.
Thanks again for reading my VN, and get ready for the next build!
Well it's your first game, I can't really say much anyway, you deserve at least 4 stars for now until there are more updates so I change your mind but it wasn't bad at first u_u
Do you have permission from the original artist to use this background in your project?
https://fish032.artstation.com/projects/PmWey
He isn't credited anywhere on the page.
In truth I needed that as a start, being my first VN I needed to understand how it worked, and I forgot to remove it, so I update for a moment with the new one (actually removing the image).
I absolutely didn't want to steal and pass it all off as mine, I apologize!
