A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Pervader is a plot-heavy linear visual novel set on an island-continent which has its own history, myths and secrets. You play the role of Reamus, a young cougar who is thrust into a world of magic, politicking and sinister plots. The main character is joined by two companions, Alen, an old brown bear, and Jymsar, a young black leopard, whom you can get to know (very) intimately as you travel the world in search of a cure for a strange magical affliction which plagues you.

This is seriously nostalgic. I could totally fall asleep to this VN music on repeat.


Wish there were updates.🥲

(+3)

Is still VN still ongoing or it got cancelled?

(2 edits) (+6)

They noted above that its on hiatus and plan to start working on it again eventually. It's been over a year since the patreon was updated but it looks like the author is potentially busy with their personal life. 

(+2)

k, Ty :)

(+5)

Miss this vn :(

(+2)(-1)

ok the different sprits just for expressing eye movements is a touch i wished all vns had this is awesome i love it so much wkej;oiug[wiuger[iq

(+1)

Anyone can recommend me VN like this one? I really like the artstyle, how the dudes are drawn, and i like medieval setting

Sadly i don't think there's any. EA is close for their big bulky guys

Try Sylving! The artstyle is different tho.

(+1)

im not sure who drew the art im guessing the writer did but youd like to read another vn in a similar setting then i think Devils gambit is a great recommend for u tho it focuses a lot more on romance rather than this one

(+1)

Yep, the author did drew all the art.👌🏼

(+8)(-1)

Underdevelopment I guess? This VN I guess it's SFW cause there's no s3x scenario happened, well the story is so interesting jymsar is kind and the mc 

Any News? When the release update? And can someone tell me what happened to the author of this VN.

(+6)

Sex scenes are in the "Simulacrum" in the menu. There's just no sex scenes in the main story I think. 

(+2)

i think there will be i just dont think the story has progressed enough for there to be sex scenes

(+9)

Giga is on hiatus and will return to Pervader when he can.

A public post has been made to inform followers about future plans just been a while back 🥲. It seems that individual authors often take on an excessive workload, leading to burnout. I hope the author is doing well.

(+5)

I miss it so much! There's no other game like this one

(+2)

I love this VN and hope the next update will be out someday. I hope GigaSaddle is feeling better and has the time to continue his magnificent work.

(+9)

I really miss this VN. It is one of my favorite fantasy stories.

(1 edit)

the auto forward button doesnt seem to work :(

(+9)

GigaSaddle, I hope you're doing well. Your novel is one of my favourites and I hope you one day will finish it. No matter what, you've already made something great and don't feel discouraged or pressured. I understand how difficult it can be at times to manage everything in one's life, and I hope soon you'll be in a great place and let us all see the rest that this story holds. :)

(+12)

Truly hope that this comes back.  One of the best VNs I've read for sure

(+29)(-1)

Thank you! I'm glad to see people are looking forward to more updates, despite the hiatus.

Though I'm still not quite ready to resume work on it, I will eventually get to it. I've just got some other stuff to sort out in my life right now, and I wanna do more casual art for a while longer.

(+8)

I miss Pervader.

(+4)

Same. Hope the dev team is doing alright...

(+3)

I'm pretty sure it's (mostly) just GigaSaddle. No wonder updates aren't guaranteed for now, this takes time... Another FVN I dearly miss is Lunateria. Both have or probably had in Lunateria's case great potential.

(+4)

Apparently Lunateria is coming back this month.

Thank you for telling me, but I already am subscribed again.

What is simulacrum?

(+2)

what could have been.

huh?

(+3)

simulacrum is what could have been with the VN if the main story didn't happen. simulacrum literally is synonymous with imitation.

(+8)

Is this game dead? The story is just fantastic, but there has been no updates since March of last year

(+2)

the creator is in haitus

How longg

Status Update~

Jul 27, 2023

Hey guys! It's been a while. I thought I should probably make a news post to tell people where I'm at.

Sorry again for the lack of Pervader content. I really wanted to get back into monthly updates, but I haven't been able to. Life gets in the way, in small ways that don't really seem that big at first, but they get big enough to become obstacles.

I probably won't have another update too soon. The main problem, as always, is writing. There are a few stressful factors in my life which sabotage my ability to work on the text. It's not necessarily for lack of time, though I have been busy IRL too.

As much as I would wish it, I definitely can't commit to monthly updates, as I've failed to do that so many times by now, and I need to stop pretending that I can do it. I wax and wane too much in everything I do for me to keep a consistent schedule of things.

Every month that passes without an update makes me feel bad for disappointing everyone, but I know it doesn't help to dwell on it. Right now, I just want to do more fun artwork, so that's going to be my focus for a while longer. Though I am a bit cautious since I burned out a bit at the start of the year with that daily art challenge I tried. Still, drawing is a great way for me to make content and feel good about it. I haven't yet done those Alen and Jymsar pics you guys voted on either, so look forward to that too.

That's about it as far as Pervader goes. Not much to say, but I figured everyone was owed a little status update. I don't have any Horny Gaol updates I can show either, though I've been reworking and tinkering with its design quite a bit over the past few months, and I quite like where it's at right now.


There's more but the later bit is just going to explain what's going on with the patreon. If you want to read it then here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/status-update-86754669

(+1)

Not entirely. It is just on hiatus for now due to irl things.

(+8)

I really miss this VN. This is one of my favorites. :(

(+3)

Stray strong. Keep the faith. At duty's end, we will meet again. We will. We will.

(+2)

The rains have ceased, and we have been graced with another beautiful day. But you are not here to see it.

(+1)

In tough times, we all long for news to be heard, but stand strong my comrade our odyssey is not yet done.

(+9)

I finished pervader (Jymsar route ofc) and now I'm sad because it was so damn good I couldn't stop reading to save my life. And then it ended, so now I'm sad

(+4)

Woowoo! Just finished 0.18, and gotta say this IS a very good Novel. Thanks, Mino Hotel for recommending this. I cannot wait for the next update, cus the story has gotten me HOOKED!

(2 edits) (+10)

this is a long comment since I just finished the novel and really looking forward to this novel so [spoiler]

Art

-Just as you look from the preview arts, you will certainly have a lot more beautiful views from this novel. It's beautiful, I can't much because it really is.

-The dialogues with a detailed backgrounds are amazingly well done

-character's design: the main cast (Reamus, Alen, Jymsar) designs are generic, but also outstanding, just like any side characters. I adore Follen and Marchedon design the most.

Characters

-Personalities: the main cast sometimes are childish and being strict are their whole personality at the beginning of the novel and some dialogues, but later on they got their character development and be likable. The side characters are not annoying and pushing the main cast to go further, good.

-Relationship between characters: Jymsar and other watchmen; it kinda cute, I don't have much to say. Alen and Chila; their interactions between two are short but we will learn further on on Alen's prespective, it can tell why the two acting these way, Alen acting toward Reamus and Alen's goal which is nice.

Plot

-Very confusing at the beginning, still confusing further on but not as diffucult as the beginning to catch up, really worth the time spending to this novel

-if you are looking to romanized the characters, then this is not the novel you looking for, it is a heavy plot with world building and lot to read, but the novel isn't finished so they will be more to look forward to

-There's a side non-canon that has an nsfw pics. I feel awkward going through Reamus and Marshall lmao, the art of them going at it are amazing is as good as any other backgrounds.

Decisions and Routes

This is the main issue I wanting to talk to the creator, GigaSaddle, I appreciate whether you wanting your plot and interactions to be, because I know it's using lot of times to having many routes

-There are too little interactions we can choose, only two options.

-Most of the decisions didn't do anything further to the plot, only few dialouges are changed. Such as; Anny's nails (I didn't see this one coming because it so random and why do this even a decision), the shadow's accept or reject (why is this an option when rejecting only changed the first few messages), truth or lie being umbral to Everwind (this one I expected the most but he spotted the lie kinda into his character)

-The only interact I see that changes the story is either stay with Alen or Jymsar, further when we chose who to stay with, there's only one decision and just one until it just a whole reading part, and that decision didn't push the story further or change the path anything.


[If you reading this until now, I recommend this novel]

(+4)(-2)

when will the next update drop?

(+6)

Hi, I have kind of a lore question but I don’t know if it’s appropriate?

Does ejaculate of a watchmen carry the properties of magic suppression tea? :)

(+1)

In furry logic, anything is possible!

(2 edits) (+4)

Downloaded it for the hunky men, kept playing for the excellent writing.

Seriously! This is some of the greatest writing, world building and art I've ever seen in a VN. So good, in fact, I had to create an Itch.io account just to sing its praises. Everything about it is completely enthralling.

This is bl/yaoi? Or have character customization?

(+3)

Man the game is so immersive and so good that i dreamt about it too lol

(+4)

I just started this vn and can't figure out whether the backgrounds are filtered real images or not, since they are super detailed and must've taken tons of time to make if drawn.

(this is just me saying the art styles and everything look amazing)

(+2)

also super small typo near the beginning, wich instead of which

"On the counter lay several bars of barillash soap, some of wich were more or less used up"
