    This is the best game I have played in a long time you made this game a wonderful experience filled with laughter, joy, and sadness. You and everyone who worked on the game and also everyone who supported the game whether it be on Kickstarter or Patreon or both everyone did an amazing job.

    An absolutely amazing experience with great characters and a compelling story. Would definitely recommend even to those not in the furry community.

    A pure impulse buy after watching the Steam trailer, but one I do not regret. It was a very well told story with great and interesting characters. I loved the parallel chronicle system that allowed you to see events going on from other character's perspective and in general I loved the banter and general interactions with the characters.

The game presents some very difficult choices and all have impact on how the game progresses, some more than others obviously. If I had to be critical about anything it would probably be that the trailer maybe over hyped the game a little bit trying to make it seem more than just a visual novel. This is an amazing visual novel though with great artwork and a pretty good musical score. Would recommend to anyone who likes a good story.… Expand

    I love this game. It’s one of the only things to make me cry. In fact I’m going to play it again

    Easily one of the best visual novels (if not best game in general) I have ever played.
    The game is filled with a lovable, visually pleasing cast of characters and gives you choices that make you actively worry for the well being of the characters.

    On top of that, it's one of the few furry romance games (that I am aware of) that focuses more on the "fluffy" cute side of romance rather than the more sexual, smut-based elements you may find in other games.

    I can genuinely say this is the first game that made me cry, and it was when I realized the game's story was over. The only critique I can give is that a lot of the choices don't actually effect the ending. The only thing it affects is the Epilogue scene, which is disappointing to say the least, but don't let that take you away from this masterpiece of a game for even a second.

    If I won the lottery, I would knock on the developers door, give him all of my money, and demand a sequel. Forget 10/10, I'd give this 20/10 if metacritic would let me. A must buy if you like to sit down to play a good, story-driven game with lovable (and fluffy) characters.    … Expand

    Winds of Change is a great game especially for those who love Visual Novels and or enjoy a story/dating sim set in an LGBTQIA+ friendly furry world.

    When all is said and done, I enjoyed my time with Winds of Change. I liked its blend of visual novel and point-and-click elements, making it a sort of East-meets-West game. I also found the story and characters engaging and spent several playthroughs exploring new character subplots and decision branches. On the other hand, some of the voice actors were not that great. Winds of Change is a niche game that won't appeal to everyone, but whether you try it or not, I still encourage folks to step out of their gaming comfort zones and try something a little different or unconventional.

    At first I didn't expect much but Winds of Change turned out to be surprisingly a good story with a Bioware-like structure.The world building is well thought-out and detailed, characters are varied each with his/her own background and motives, and the conflict between The Triumvirate and The rebellion is interesting. Pacing is a bit slow, though.
