A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Mithridatium is a kinetic furry visual novel created for the 2023 MAY WOLF game jam.

It follows the story of an alchemist living in an isolated city state on the permanently dark half of the tidally locked planet Persefona.

Follow the young alchemist as he hides from the historical and political burden both his family and the entire city carry.

In his academic retreat, he will face a patient like he has never before.


The game has depiction of tasteful nudity and discussion of mature themes, so it is not intended for players under the age of 18.


The story and development of this visual novel is considered finished, but I am considering more to expand this setting.


Thank Unagi and Cody once again for organising this game jam!

The unknowing is baffling, the unknown is scary, the unknown is intriguing.  How that unknown responds to you and you respond to it, stands to shape what you think about that unknown, least until it is not an unknown anymore.  Be curious, be kind, lest you provoke, patience is key, but when confronting an unknown hostility is more easy to come by once one side decides to go with it.

Stew looks Yum!  He may use two legs and has a conscious, but doesn't mean he don't have instincts too! X3  Aw such a puppy! ^^

Ah I see the world doesn't cycle..., I made one of my sona's home system planets much like that, but barren and hollowed out so you can see the process happening.

So... Red Pill or Blue Pill? :/3

this game excels in atmosphere and setting

I very much enjoyed this game. The art style, the general atmosphere and the writing are all great. With the game being a jam submission, this is an amazing vn made in a short amount of time, and I truly applaud the result. I think it will be great, if the game gets some sort of sequel in this setting. Or a different game entirely - the art and the writing prove that the author can deliver a banging story visually and plot wise.

The cg in the greenhouse is absolutely beautiful. After being submerged in this bleak atmosphere with cold color tones, it was really great to see such a warm and tender color palette on screen with the good boy in the center.

Now if I were to share some of the weaker points in this game in my opinion, I would say that the beginning is rather slow. There is a lot of information, with little visual aid, which made me basically read diagonally until MC got to the Institute where we later meet mister Zverko. From that point onward I was invested enough to even pay attention to discussion of political themes, though not too closely if I'm being honest. The names are interesting, by the way, I felt like I was playing in an Eastern European space colony kinda setting. Another thing, which was definitely not manageable in short time during development, but would greatly improve the overall appeal, is just more art. I really liked what is in the game as is, but there is always room for more of such amazing art in vns :)

As others already said, keep up the hard work, and thank you for releasing this game.
