All That Glitters

"In Hollywood, the only thing more dangerous than a lie is the truth."

In an industry that feeds on attention and forgets even faster, you’ve learned that fame is never stable—it’s borrowed. To keep you in the spotlight, your manager has come up with her most ambitious scheme yet: a PR-mandated relationship. Can you fake it 'til you make it?

Navigate rivalries, fake romances, and the impossible search for something genuine in a world built on appearances.

Because in the end, all that glitters isn’t gold—but it might still be worth the shine.

Hello! ✨ I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying ATG, and I'm more than happy to include Chris in this! Here is a little peek into everyone's romantic history:

Hello superstars! ✨

Summer is flying by, but I wanted to drop a quick progress report on Chapter 5 to keep you in the loop!

Confession: I haven’t written quite as much as I wanted, but the chapter is already ballooning. Chapter 4 was ~27k words total. Chapter 5 is already at 20k and we haven't even landed in New York yet. Pray for my branching logic. ✈️🍸 Here is what's currently cooking behind the scenes: 👇

Playing as a workaholic and I'm obsessed with N !! I think they go so well with workaholic MC bcs they're all sweet and fun and maybe they'll get my mc to finally chill a bit 🥹

I'm off to play the other paths and carreers now !!

Welcome to All That Glitters, and thank you so much for playing and reaching out! 🥹✨

N is such a sweetheart! Honestly, I think all the MCs need a bit of their bright, happy energy in their lives, hahaha.

Short answer: only one of them is hurting, haha. 💔

No, but jokes aside... that 'yet' in your question carries a lot of weight!

For C , the MC is just someone they have to put up with for now. As long as the MC does their job and keeps up appearances, C doesn't really care whether the smile is genuine or not... yet.

T is a different story. They know their line of work makes it hard to form a real, close relationship with the MC—even if they try to warn or help them at times. So, even if it's a bit bittersweet to watch the MC laugh with someone else, they accept that it is what it is.

I keep wondering why they can’t just get a job at a modelling agency, preferably Coco’s, and snap MC’s pics ethically. (Baby is just setting his chances on hard difficulty).

Do they have a fundamental distrust of how agencies treat their talent, or do they believe their own methods are somehow more authentic and honest because his only capturing the most extreme or emotional sides of mc?

Hi fellow T enthusiast! ☕📸

That's such a great question! I'm not sure everyone is going to love the answer, lol, but the honest truth is: it’s all about the money! 💰

Could T get a job at an agency? Maybe. Do paparazzi make more money freelancing and catching celebrities off-guard? Absolutely.

Fun fact: In my line of work, I’ve met professional photographers and paparazzi, and it almost always comes down to that (their words, not mine!). I was actually forced into doing some paparazzi-style work a few times myself—and while I hated the job, I learned a lot about them. That exact real-world vibe is what I’m using to build Navarro.

Plus, let's be real... T definitely loves setting their life on hard mode. I hope you all enjoy the chaos and vulnerability on their route, even if they’ve been making a living off your drama! ✨

Hi! Thank you so much for playing the demo and for leaving such a sweet comment! Welcome to All That Glitters! ✨

Side-eyeing S is 100% valid! And I find it so hilarious how it's almost always the Workaholic MC readers who are the most determined to romance C. There’s clearly something about driven, overworked people colliding that everyone loves!

I hope my question doesn't seem demanding, I just prefer when ROs take the lead and would like to know.

Anyway, thank you for your story and good luck with writing!

Hi! You don't sound demanding at all, so please don't worry! I genuinely love reading your feedback and suggestions—you guys are always so sweet and polite, and your input really helps me make the game better. Things like non-alcoholic drink choices or the softer option at the gala table were actually added thanks to feedback from readers like you! :)

As for more reserved or shy flirt options, it's already on my to-do list since a few readers have requested it :)

Right now, I'm focused on writing Chapter 5. I try to keep everyone's suggestions in mind while working on new content, but I prefer going back to edit or add new choices in small doses so I don't lose momentum. Rest assured, subtle and shy flirt options are on their way in future revision updates!

Hi! Honestly, reading everyone's theories about who placed that mystery auction bid is so much fun! 🕵️‍♀️

Coco was right there noticing MC looking at the item, so definitely don't rule her out!

And you are 100% right about her soft spot! Even if she puts on a stern, business-first persona with the MC, she genuinely cares about them. Honestly? I’d say she even has a hidden soft spot for the Scandal MC, deep deep down under all that stress! 😂

The image of Coco and Fox holding their heads in their hands while an actor MC radiates pure Jack Black energy is officially burned into my mind now. 😂

The sheer energy of an MC who refuses to take a serious Hollywood press junket seriously, constantly breaking character, driving Sutton crazy with improvised bits... that’s an elite level of disaster actor right there.

I'm shooting a star shot your way, I'm not sure if it'll land or miss.

The secret gifter was Pike! It is it is! If it's true, please use this emoji in your next post!!! 🌟 If not! 💫 This one's fine. Great great great writer, directer, creater!!!

Really loved the story so far. Played all the path ways and chose to main the disasterous singer, I love that you can be bothered and asshole who seeks thrills and all, and a softy towards those close to you. It's very lovely! If that comment seeking is still on, can I offer one? If it's not on anymore, I'll still state one here, incase you get some amusement out of it!

For the disaster MC user Pipipi.starchicklet: "Why is this explosive calamity after our godess/god?? This ticking time bomb is gonna turn them into collateral damage! Stay away! Stay away from them!!!"

Hi sweetheart! Thank you so, so much for playing and for such a lovely message! I’m thrilled you’re enjoying the disaster singer route!

That comment ffrom Pipipi.starchicklet made me laugh out loud! Sadly, that specific scene is already locked and written for this chapter, but don’t worry—I’m definitely going to ask for more reader comments in the future. Reading all of your ideas was absolute gold, and I was honestly so sad I couldn't fit every single one in!

Now, as for the secret bidder at the auction... my lips are strictly sealed! 🤫 Pike was in the room, so they're definitely a prime suspect, but are they the right guess? Or am I just letting you think that? 💫 (Or maybe 🌟? Who knows!) You’ll just have to wait and see!

I don't know the idea popped into my head and I thought it was funny. I think it would be funny either way if the MC was dead serious about it or just fucking around to piss Sutton off.

Hi! I love this question and that's actually why I made a whole post about it on my Patreon recently hehe. I can't give you all the details here, but I'll gladly share their 'giving' love languages:

Alright, off the record? Grow that relationship bar by playing the nostalgic ex. Make them feel safe, let them think you're still hung up on them until they're ready to risk it all for you.

Now, if you want maximum chaos? Well, you could instead [REDACTED].

It’s been SO much fun reading through all your submitted comments and coding the opportunities for the MC to react to them! haha 💬✨

Here is a little sneak peek of how they look in the code! You can see a few of them here, but the rest are all hidden, waiting for you to discover them!

THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who participated! I had actually written my own placeholder comments at first, but I ended up deleting them all so I could use yours instead—and that just feels amazing. I couldn't fit every single one, but I wish I could! I really hope we can do this again in the future.

Oh yes, I have no doubt about that, haha! As of right now, there are only three opportunities to meet T: the flashback in Chapter 4 (which everyone gets), choosing the Scandal path, or choosing to go back home alone after your meeting with Coco. Because of that, I know not everyone gets to encounter them.

The same thing happens with Chris. You have to choose a career first, and later on, you have to turn down Fox to talk to him.

(Long answer under the cut!) 🛑👇
