I'm really liking this story so far! I really feel for the protagonist, Ayla, even if it's not an experience I've gone through myself. I often see the pressures people go through online when they're even a bit famous, and it can be terrifying! And then add biphobia to it and you get a very stressful combo TT_TT

I liked all the LIs as well as the protagonist, though I'm especially looking forward to Jae's route (what can I say? sweet bakers / baristas are my type), but honestly I'd play all the routes because they all seem so compelling in their narratives! 

Excited for more <3

Wooo! I'm really excited for more of this, I'm really into the concept and seeing more of what the evomods do, as well as the romance :3 It's fun to play as someone with relationship experience, feels like I don't see that a lot

(Also, is the MC's look supposed to change in her conversation with Maia about the EvoMods? It switched completely to some of the new options before I even got the new dress up screen)

¡Me está copando el concepto! Y de una apoyo que hayan más novelas visuales argentinas :3

Noté un par de errores (más que nada faltaban unos puntos) pero nada grave ¡Me parece super bien escrito!

Recomendaría quizás hacer algo para diferenciar más entre el diálogo de Guillermina y sus pensamientos, como poner los pensamientos entre paréntesis, porque a veces confunde un poco.

Fuera de eso, me encanta el arte, especialmente de los sprites, y la diferenciación de la UI entre la época actual y la antigua. El diálogo me encanta también.

¡Muy buena suerte con el proyecto!

I'm so glad!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts <3

That makes me really happy!!

Aaah, I understand! Sadly this game is only for PC and Mac at the moment, so it wouldn't work on any mobile apps, I'm sorry u_u

Sorry for the wait! Basically the zip file is compressed, "unzipping it" decompresses the file gives you the folders and makes the game accessible

Have you unzipped the file? You'd need winrar or a similar thing!

This is exactly what the game is about B)

Aww your comment made my day after one of our teammates shared it!!! I'm so happy someone naturally got one of the name easter eggs before I said anything about 'em hehe!  I actually want to add more, there's a bunch in the draft that didn't end up in the final build because they were missing some things, but believe me more easter eggs are gonna be added >:3c

Some people in our team also loved it! And since it's a musical show I thought it totally fit (after all, we did reference musical movies like High School Musical, so why not musical shows?)

I'm really happy the passion for musicals we have shined through and resonated with you, I've honestly been so happy working on this and inserting as many refs as I could!!!

Muchisimas gracias por jugar! Que te hayas hecho la cuenta para probarlo es una banda ¡Gracias!

Justo los interrogatorios de Ace Attorney fueron una gran inspiración jeje

¡También lo podés conseguir en Steam y hay logros! :3

No, disculpa u_u

Aunque si veo suficiente interés lo puedo considerar (pero me preocuparía que se pierdan referencias)

It makes me so happy to hear it made you laugh! Honestly I was really hoping we achieved comedy with this one lol! And def love getting people who love musical theater to play this game >:3

And aaaah thank you so much! Honestly this team did crazy work, it was so fun!!! <3

And I have not watched it, but now I wanna make a team watchalong of it!

Chiiiim! I just saw your comment (been trying to avoid looking too much right after release lmao) and I'm so so so happy you liked it so much! 

The art direction was honestly a lot of teamwork!! It came along while talking with the artists, then later Apple joined us and made the UI fit the vibe even more! And dude I'd legit listen to this soundtrack in my free time, so cool! (Though of course I'm biased)

Now, theater kids are exactly the audience I'm looking for with this game, and I'm so glad you got to play and caught many references! Honestly I'd like to at some point make a list of references or something for the nerds out there! (But first I actually want to add some extra easter eggs... heh) Also, the little drawings with certain actions were 100% Sesame's idea and ended up adding so much comedy to it. Honestly this team was on fire!!!

Hope you manage to get more of the endings! The poly ending has the same CG as the villain ending I'll admit (there's only so many CGs we could do lol) but I'm so glad you are also shipping those two because the reason I made it possible for them to get together is because I so shipped them lol!!

Thank you so much again, Chim!

Hi! I wanted to know if it's okay to modify aspects of this UI when using it!

Both LIs had lovely stories- I was honestly really charmed by Julian and liked his story even outside the context of the narrator being present, but man the narrator's route really hit! There's something so beautiful about stories about stories, you know?

I enjoyed this game a lot!

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed it <3

Hola! ¿Tienes winrar o alguna aplicación similar que permita descomprimir los archivos?

¡Muchísimas gracias por jugar nuestro juego! Me hace super feliz ver que incluso después de tanto tiempo de que publicamos el juego la gente aún lo disfruta <3

Wanted to let you know that I used your template on https://gaburov.itch.io/mi-jefe-me-quiere-reemplazar-por-un-robot! It's a prototype right now- but your template helped me a lot!

Thank you so much for playing!! I got so giddy seeing a comment here in 2025 haha! I'm happy you enjoyed it!

I did not know that game but I'm curious to check it out now!

Pretty addictive!

Very cute game! Love the art and the different paths!

I'm writing this review right after crying my eyes out from this game. Having enjoyed Shark and Pelican's previous games, I was really excited about this one, and it did not disappoint! I'll try to gather my messy thoughts in this little review (Minor spoilers):

- The writing was wonderful, a mix between comedic moments and sadness, both working perfectly together. I laughed at some of Fishy's comments, at the Ratz doll, at "Flame Man" appearing right after I was ready to cry. And then the nightmares, the memories and the ending... it drove (ha) straight through my heart and I was shedding tears by the end.
- As always, the art is gorgeous, and I loved how much of it there is. The moving backgrounds to add to that feeling of motion with the car was great, and I liked that it had different versions as they got further on their way.
- I also loved all the food! And you've made me very hungry for a cheeseburger. Loved having so many options, even if it's just for one scene I like small things like that!

Now, something with bigger spoilers of the ending, as I'd like to comment more on how I felt!

Friendships are very important to me, and the thought of losing them, especially now, always frightens me. So playing this story involving two best friends who drifted apart was certain to hit deep. I kept wondering whether Andy would turn back, whether she'd get there and how Bora would react... and then they were late. They did not see each other again. We get to see what Andy felt could have happened if she had been at the wedding, we see that even if she wasn't there, Bora was happy. It was really sad to me, but also nice to see Andy working through her feelings, and understanding her own faults and to let go. After one final dance, she also lets her shared imaginary friend go, what remained of her connection to Bora.

It was certainly bittersweet, but I liked it a lot. A part of me still wishes that Andy may send a message to Bora apologizing, now understanding better why she felt like that. But I also can see that she was meant to let her go. Maybe with this, she can better herself and pursue her dreams, maybe make new friends? There is a whole world of possibilities for Andy, and it's nice to imagine!

Thank you for making another beautiful game!

Aww muchas gracias! Definitivamente estamos intentando continuarlo con más variedades y cositas, así que estate atento ;)

Hi Alexandra!!! I'm happy you like that, I def love to have a good relationship between them!

Yes, you do require Winrar to unzip the files. If this is not something you can get, let me know and I'll talk with the team for a solution <3

Thank you so much for playing, Lila! (Nice to hear from you again!)

It means a lot to me that you liked so much of it <3

Thank you so much for playing our game, it makes me glad to see what you took from it- personally, I also want to believe things will get better, for him and for people in the same situations!

Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Aw Chat!!! (I do like making people feel things- I mean sorry for the tears!!)

Especially through talking to other people in my team, I realized that this experience is shared all through the world, even if in different ways. It's heartbreaking, though also a bit reassuring to know I'm not alone in the sentiments. It's a very difficult situation to be in, and I'm sorry to hear that you've seen people facing this too.

I have to agree, the artists honestly did such a beautiful job- they really helped inspire the whole aesthetic of the game and I think it's so much more beautiful for it! I'm really happy that you liked it, and I appreciate so much that you took the time to share everything you liked! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for playing our game! I'm glad it resonated with you, and I hope you're able to reunite with everyone and everything you love!

Aw, thank you so much Chim!!!

It was honestly really intriguing to me to hear of your perspective! It's true that to many people this kind of thing is probably more something that their parents or grandparents did, and perhaps they're not faced directly with the thoughts of having to go through the same. I think it's still super important to see stories from a perspective like yours, though, as I find it really interesting too and I'm sure it connects to the experiences of many!

In my case, it's like I know both sides, in some way. While I don't know in depth the sacrifices of my grandparents and great grandparents who had to move here, dealing with these sorts of feelings myself due the constant conversations of leaving the country does give me an idea. I imagine it must have been much different, given the contexts they lived in in comparison to mine, and yet there's something there, I feel. Just like Agustín said, it feels a bit ironic to me how I may have to leave the place my ancestors came to seeking a better life.

Either way, your comment was super insightful and it made me happy to read about your experience, so thank you for taking the time to write!!!

Thank you so much for playing!! It makes me happy that you liked it and that it made you reflect on these topics, hehe!

Hello! This may be a bit of a specific question in regards layered backgrounds. I understand they're okay, as long as it's still one background and it doesn't change drastically. Is it okay if one small element of the background disappears after a certain point? (Say, a small bag, but the rest of the background stays the same)

You have no idea how happy seeing your comment made me! Amidst the sickness I was dealing with and a rough start of the month, this was honestly just a ray of sunshine, if I'm allowed to be a bit dramatic haha!

It's actually really interesting that in ancient sources, you can see the story told more from Demeter's perspective (Homeric Hymn to Demeter is my main point of reference!) and yet nowadays people are more focused on Hades and Persephone as a love story- which is not bad, but I thought it'd be such a shame to let a tale of grief and the love of a mother to be cast aside!

It makes me really happy that you liked the characters, especially Demeter. I'm really trying to achieve a balance, making her likeable but allowing her to express all these more difficult and less pleasant emotions that come with the tragedy she's facing. Also about Poseidon, I swear every time I had to read that scene again for editing or playtesting I was in so much pain lmao, I may have done too good a job in making him uncomfortable ;p

I'm really excited to show more of the game, how the story will branch out and the changes that the characters will go through!!! I hope I will see you there when more is revealed :3c

Excited for the games you'll be making Chim!!!

Thank you so much for giving the game a try, Moriko! Definitely excited to show you more of Hecate in the future too ;D

OMG Thank you so much for playing! I didn't expect it so it was a really pleasant surprise <3

I play both self-insert and non self-insert games, and I like both. Both should be allowed to have their space in visual novels, and I don't think you should feel forced to make a self-insert if you don't want to.

On the one hand, I understand that self-insert being so popular would lead to more eyes on the game and more sales, which is something that can make it so enticing! But as you said, you'd also have to spend a lot more money and time to make that alternative.

Sadly, you can never please everyone, and I would love if people would still give stories with a set MC more of a chance. Self-inserting isn't the only way to enjoy a story, after all!

Personally, I think you should do what brings you most joy, but when we're so trapped by the expectations of the public, I can definitely understand the hesitation.

Excited to see more of this game, it was super lovely and I'm sure the new stuff will be awesome too! Definitely wishlisting on steam!

I hope your personal matters settle all right and you recover soon ;v; sounds like a stressful time!

(Also was that last part of the title a reference? heh)

I saw! That's infuriating, I hope they get removed from the app store
