As far as I know, it's not a mainstream popular visual novel. Popularity in the visual novel realm often depends on factors such as marketing, the reputation of the developer, and the overall appeal of the story. 'Donkey skin visual novel' has a rather strange and specific concept that might not resonate with a large audience. However, within certain circles of visual novel enthusiasts who are into more off - beat and creative themes, it could potentially have some level of popularity. But compared to well - known visual novels with broader appeal like 'Clannad' or 'Danganronpa', it's probably not as well - known or widely played.
The main moral of this story is that you can't hide your true nature. No matter how much you try to disguise yourself as something else, like the donkey did as a lion, your real self will eventually show. Just like the donkey's bray gave it away, our true selves will always find a way to be revealed.
