#viatica

Hi anon! I don’t mind, and I appreciate you asking first. 😁

I didn’t write them as such, but I can certainly see Robin somewhere on the asexual spectrum. I think it’s a wonderful idea, and I’m proud and flattered that you think my characters are a good representation of that. I’m curious what elements of their story you’d point to, and I’m interested in seeing your thoughts!

it's so amazing the way you write each scenes but also, i really want to gush about the music?!?! oh god, i usually don't like listening music when i read IF because it usually break my concentration and sometimes doesn't deliver the punch. but you, lord, the music is everything?! i really can tell you write this with music in mind, and it's beautiful!! the cinematic of it, the line you wrote really resonate with the tune, and i particularly like the music accompanying vicente's bath scene; it feels like it sliced my heart and i can feel the pain, the restrain, and the yearning so much.

i love the way you write and how you accompany everything with sounds like in viatica too, i can picture everything like a movie in my mind. ughh, i can't wait for chapter 7 but you can take your time fir. especially with surgery and everything!! i hope everything goes well and that you always be healthy!! (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

Thank you so much! I love hearing reactions to the music selection. I know it can be a very personal reading experience, and as you say, break the immersion for some.

I particularly had a lot of fun picking out the tunes for each RO. Calliope’s tune is bright and cheerful—so is Bayram’s, but his also has a more exotic tone. Vicente’s and Tellus’s tunes are more solemn, dramatic and slightly somber. And Corinne’s is more calming and reflective. I like the way hers and Tellus’s tunes build. 😁

i just finished the demo for cantanta and i am IN LOVE

like the world building to the dialogue options to even just having an mc that primarily uses sign

i romanced vincente on the first playthrough and my oh my, that bath scene 🥵

definitely going to replay it with bayram as my ro bc he is FINE

but yeah, ty so much for this!! i love it so so much and am definitely excited for the full thing, and am gonna check out your other works

also this morning I also started playing Viatica, I'm on chapter 2 now. Really happy that it is completed

Now about the game itself...I could tell you that the writing and world are extremely well polished and enjoyable (which is the ABSOLUTE truth 😎✨), ...but I know many people probably have said this already so instead I want to mention something about MY particular experience 👀 And I have to say...f*CK why you do this to me!!!? I entered the game fully convinced to go for Bayram and then you go and give me a childhood friend romance route!?? 😱 Aggghhhhh, those tend to be my favorites!! But I just have come from playing one already in another IF game!! 😫 I'm trying to stay with what I originally planned, but then you go and give me scenes like the "They're still all yours 🥹" and it breaks my heart in so-SO many ways ahhhhhh!!!! 😭😭😭💖💖💖 And the fact the routes REACT to you trying to pursue someone else alongside them!? AHHHHHH, IT HURTS, I FEEL BAD!! 🫠 ...In a good way, obviously. No other game has made me feel like this in a looooong while and I really respect you for that 🤗🌹✨✨

Ehem! On a more serious note, I wanted to ask...around how many chapters it's the story planned to last??? 🤔 I would LOVE to play more but I don't really have the time or patience to go and play as each individual chapter comes. So I would like to have a (general) idea on how much should I wait until there's either much more content or the project it's finished 😄🫴 P.S: Also, since I would like to check out your other game too, how long is it? I need to prepare for my two days breaks to go and play it 🫣

Hello, my friend! Thank you for your kind words! ❤️ I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying the music. While I have music in both my IFs, it feels particularly appropriate for this one. 😉

When complete, Cantata will be 13 chapters. At my current rate of writing/updating, I anticipate to finish around Q1 2028.

But I don’t know that I’ll be able to keep this pace up. The chapters will get bigger due to branching the further along I go. And life has a way of throwing curve balls at us—I’m dealing with one right now that will impact my writing. But that’s my goal.
