* {{Foreshadowing}}: On Day 2, Rune can ask a seemingly random question related to his studies about whether you believe that hallucinogenic drugs could be useful for therapy. [[spoiler:The significance of this only becomes obvious at the end of Day 3 of his own route, which reveals that he takes magic mushrooms to try and address anxiety. Responding positively to the original question is how you get the scene in which Arvo helps Rune through the bad trip]].

* HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs: [[spoiler:The end of Day 3 in Rune's route sees him, after a cavalcade of setbacks to his many ambitions, take a stash of magic mushrooms to relax. This sends him on a bad trip, which through his own efforts and the help of Arvo helps him to understand the limits of his previous workaholism]].

Added DiffLines:

* TranslationConvention: Justified in some scenes, as the cast is a mix of Norwegians, Finns and an American, so using English as a common language amongst them makes sense in certain contexts. That said, there are still scenes where Arvo and another Finn are conversing in private but the text is in English for the audience's benefit.

'''Dawn Chorus''' is a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom Furry]] romance VisualNovel created using UsefulNotes/RenPy.

It has been two months since you, a Finnish tiger named Arvo with an interest in photography, have moved to Norway to attend university. Two months into your first semester, you attend a science camp set in a scenic guesthouse above the Arctic Circle accompanied by students and staff both new and familiar. As inclement weather around the house keeps the camp attendees mostly inside, it is Arvo's chance to make new relationships, explore old ones, and discover more about both himself and his companions.

The game is currently in-development, with builds for the game available to download for free [[https://dawn-chorus.itch.io/dawn-chorus on its itch.io page]]. Updates for the game are released monthly, with Patreon supporters gaining the build a month early. The game does contain explicit NSFW scenes that can be toggled off in the options.

* AdjustableCensorship: The game's NSFW content can be disabled in the Preferences menu.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Mikko's route revolves around him and Arvo coming to terms with both their present relationship and their past as each other's FirstLove.
* ClosedCircle: Strong weather around the guesthouse makes travelling outside of it difficult, leading to the cancellation of a trip into town on Day 2 of the science camp.
* HelloInsertNameHere: Arvo can be renamed to your liking.
* StoryBranching: The character you wish to focus on is chosen at the end of Day 1, with their individual routes continuing from there.
