M Y Furry Teacher is a character-driven visual novel exploring stagnation and self-discovery through an unplanned winter retreat. A disillusioned math teacher, trapped with his chaotic new apprentice Trish during a school lockdown, confronts existential inertia. Blending wry humor and emotional introspection, players navigate confined spaces, time-sensitive choices, and hidden truths about ambition—where melting snow mirrors thawing ideals.
Confinement & Character Chemistry
① Trapped in a snowed-in school, players explore interconnected classrooms and staff rooms, each environment reflecting Trish’s chaotic energy (e.g., chalkboard doodles hinting at her rebellious past).
② Timed dialogue options pressure players to balance routine duties (grading papers) with spontaneous interactions (snowball fights), impacting Trish’s trust levels.
③ Hidden objects like discarded coffee mugs or half-written novels uncover the teacher’s buried passions, contrasting with Trish’s raw creativity.
Environmental Storytelling
① Cracked heating vents and flickering lights symbolize the protagonist’s mental fatigue, worsening during prolonged isolation but improving through collaborative problem-solving.
② Trish’s pranks evolve from destructive (smearing glue on desks) to meaningful (crafting a “future goals” collage), mirroring her growing investment in the relationship.
③ A malfunctioning radio broadcasts distorted student voices, subtly critiquing the protagonist’s complacency while foreshadowing Trish’s secret artistic ambitions.
Moral Ambiguity & Growth
① Players decide whether to enforce strict lesson plans (maintaining professionalism) or let Trish redesign curriculum (risking institutional backlash).
② Late-game choices involve editing Trish’s controversial art project—sanitizing it for approval or preserving its provocative edge, affecting her future prospects.
③ The finale pivots on a shared snow sculpture: rigid geometric forms symbolize unyielding routines, while abstract shapes represent embracing uncertainty.
