Living Together With Fox Demon, a game where you can’t seem to help yourself and she can’t seem to stop wanting more of it.
I wanted to review a newer game that had come up on Steam that others were seemingly playing as well and giving out good ratings, and this was it. I was hopeful. I mean, I’ve played a lot of VNs, but not too many that cater to the perverted, horny minds out there.
Trigger warning for those that need it, certain choices forces rape to occur.

Explanation to Negative Feedback
Constant pause in speech
One of the things that really tick me off when someone is talking is when they’re having constant pauses between their words. And it’s even more annoying when you have to listen to the super slow speech of a voice actor doing their job.
Not the best translations
I’ve definitely seen worse translations in visual novels, so this one isn’t terrible, but it still becomes noticeable not that far into the game, especially because things are sometimes repeated after themselves. Basically stating the same thing but in a different way.
Rape could happen near the start
If you choose a specific option during a scene, your character will end up raping Vivi. You have two chances to not go down this path, and the way to skip it is painfully obvious, so you won’t miss it. But still, this is in the game and serves no purpose other than to provide us with a NSFW scene and paint us as a bad person.
Sudden scene changes
I get when you enter a new area, there’s going to be a different background that comes with it, but this game just gave me whiplash with how we’re here and then suddenly somewhere else.
Explanation to Positive Feedback
Nice artwork
If nothing else, the artwork is nice. The only thing that looks a little disappointing is a, uh, certain aspect of ourselves.
Pleasant soundtrack
The soundtrack changes during certain scene shifts to different environments. I’ve always found the music pleasant to listen to.

Living Together with Fox Demon Review
This review is a work in progress and contains spoilers.
I think I first played this game back in 2021, which was the year I started the initial review on it. I’m actually surprised there are people still looking this game up and landing on my website, but I’m glad my review was helping some people who were looking into it. I kind of get it with the newer Kaiju Princess being released in December 2023, which is sort of the same concept, but…a bit more sexual in nature than this one.
A lot of the searches were for walkthroughs of Living Together with Fox Demon, which was a bit odd to me.
This is a visual novel. There’s not much to them. But what makes it a little different is that you need to make choices on what to do with Vivi during…I guess the visual novel downtime. What you do decides her positive feelings, feelings, and stress.
Yes, she has two different feelings.
There are multiple endings you can get depending what her stats are at within a certain amount of days, but…if you’re having difficulty making a female like you in a game then…can a walkthrough help you at this point?
This game is a lot. It doesn’t have the best translations to the text. There’s repetition to some of the lines. The scene changes are quick and jarring. Instead of describing events, it’ll put what the character does in parentheses, which is really weird to me. And what I mean by that is it’ll read something like, “I head to the kitchen and make some toast,” and then in parentheses it’ll read, (eats toast).
Why isn’t that another descriptive line, you know?
Also, last time I played it, it wasn’t even complete, and I still don’t think it’s complete, but we’ll be finding out by the end of this review.
I will say, first off, that the game has a really pretty piano soundtrack to it. Soft and light, though I believe there are some scene changes that switch up the vibrancy and tunes of the piano. The music also carries kind of a sad note to it, so it’s not a very happy beginning.
Speaking of the beginning, we start things off in the middle of a snowstorm. Apparently we wanted to head up to the snowy mountains and because it’s spring we didn’t bother checking to see what the weather might be before we went. And now we’re stuck in a blizzard because our character is an idiot.
Cool. Awesome. I love being in the metaphorical shoes of an idiot.
And now we’re trying to get down the mountain before we become one of those poor souls that serve as land markers for people on their way up Mount Everest. During our trek, we decide to go to the forest for some coverage from the snowstorm and maybe a place to hide.
I understand the logistics of wanting to get out of a blizzard. Because the longer you’re out in the cold the more your body temperature drops and hypothermia will set in and all that not-fun stuff. But I also think if you’re going to go hide from the elements, you’d need some kind of shelter where you can set up a campfire, maybe whip out some blankets or extra clothes, and I think this stupid guy doesn’t have jack shit on him.
I doubt he’d even know how to make a fire if his life depended on it, which it clearly does.
Remember, he went up a snowy mountain thinking just because it’s spring it’d be all fine and dandy.
We come across an unusual color on the snow at some point, and I get what they’re going for when they say this, but red isn’t all that unusual of a color. In a pure white snowy landscape it stands out, but things bleed red, and that makes it a not very unusual color. While we’re questioning whether it is blood, he thinks it might be a hallucination, because, and I quote…
How could there be blood here… in the snow…?
Well I don’t know. Sometimes there are animals in the wilderness–and we are in the wilderness out here–and sometimes those animals get hurt, maybe attacked by a predator. And when animals have broken skin, they bleed red. Shocker, I know.
I should probably give him the benefit of the doubt here, because his brain’s probably numb from the cold.
Instead of continuing with our progress to get out of the blizzard, we decide to follow the bloodstain and what looks like indentions of a body that was dragging itself forward. Nothing says self-sacrifice like laying down next to someone else’s corpse who was trying to escape the same storm.
We eventually get the visual that the blood is glowing, which, thank you, now we know why it’s strange.
Why not lead with that? If you see it, mention it.
The blood is obviously not human, which makes me think we’re in a world where supernaturals exist. That’s fine, otherwise he’d be freaking the f*ck out at what’s going on and would assume that he’s closer to death than he realized.
When he touches the blood, blue light comes out of it and form a trail toward wherever the wounded thing wandered off to.
I just don’t get why he touches the blood. It’s obviously fresh since it’s on top of the snow and there’s no reason to touch it to feel if it’s still fresh or not. The only other reason someone would touch something is if they’re either not sure what it is–which he knows this is blood–and to maybe see what it tastes like–which, it’s blood, so ew don’t do that.
Unless he knew that sometimes supernatural blood has certain effects and it might’ve helped him out of this situation?
I won’t go into the details of his progress, because it’s just depressing listening to his thoughts, but we do finally get to what had made the blood-trail in the first place, which is a kitsune. She sort of looks like a female Inuyasha if he had a tail. But it also looks like she’s got cotton balls in her ears instead of just fluff. We can clearly see she’s bleeding from her arm as well as maybe her legs.
It’s a little sad that she’s holding her tail for comfort.
There’s a blue butterfly that lands on her arm and what I assume was what made the blue trail we followed from her blood. The butterfly clearly means something to her because she’s talking to it without having noticed us yet. This is also where we get to hear her voice, which is nice and pleasant, but I can’t stand listening to someone talk when there are a lot of pauses in their speech. And she’s hurt, so she’s pausing in her words. It just makes it so long and drawn out when I’m one of those people who are impatient for what comes next.
It’s still a lot better than those high pitched whiney voices that are just moaning dirty lines. They give me migraines. This just gives me annoyance.
We ask if she’s okay and as you can imagine she basically just wants us to not hurt her and starts saying things that we don’t really have any context to right now. But obviously she didn’t give these injuries to herself, someone else did.
Oh, but we deduce that her condition seems worse than ours.
Really? No shit? I would’ve never guessed with the amount of blood he takes notice of.
Listen, we’re at the start of this game and this dude is just…Mr. Obvious throwing out literal facts. And keep in mind that we’re still standing in the middle of a blizzard looking at this wounded female. We’re getting colder by the second, but that’s okay, because this chick is wounded.
I wish he’d just die. Already.
