Here I am, innocently reading the newest chapter. Flirting here and there, wondering who I might see a future with when BAM! That ending hit and left my jaw on the floor and my heart racing. Welp, looks like my 1st romance has been decided. A+ chapter! Can't wait for the next one after all this.
I just read all 3 chapters during these last few hours and I love it so much ! Can't wait to see more of Vicente ! I'm really excited to see what happens next
Apologies if this is a bad place to ask, but when I play in the browser on PC, the music doesn't play. On mobile (where I started the game), it plays fine. I was wondering if there's a way to fix it in my browser on PC?
Btw, already loving it and I *just* started playing. :)
Hello! When you play from a save, (which I'm assuming you're doing since you switched devices) the music doesn't automatically start. As far as I can tell this is a Sugarcube thing and no real way to fix it. The music will kick in when you hit a scene or passage where the music changes, for example between chapters 1 and 2. If you start a new game on the browser, you'd hear the music fine from the beginning.
Having used JavaScript wayyyy too much already, I can confirm that this is a browser issue - for security reasons, chrome prevents audio from playing without some sort of interaction from the user to directly start it. Another possibility (more likely) is that the audio isn't re-initiated every page, and so when you load a save after a page that initiates audio then the audio will not continue to play.
That's incredible! I was transported into your world and now I am struggling to come down reality. Incredible characters and beautiful story surrounding the Iredicci. Can't wait for more!
Hello! I'm currently working on my own interactive fiction, and I just wanted to say how much I love yours! Both Cantata and Viatica are and still will be huge inspiration for my work. Thank you so much! Keep doing what you're doing 😉
P.S. At risk of sounding self-absorbed, if you could give any feedback on my story so far that would be super helpful! 😁 I'm trying to gather people's thoughts on my work since it's my first interactive novel so far. Either way, thank you so much!
Thank you so much! To hear that I've inspired another is the best compliment, truly.
I'd be happy to take a look at your work and tell you what I think. But I have to warn you... I've done a lot of copyediting and proofreading in my career and tend to be hyper critical (of my own work included). Are you looking for a full on red pen, grammatical deep dive or just broad thoughts and light suggestions?
Either way, congratulations on your first IF and good luck with the project!
Thank you! I'm looking for both story-related and grammatical/structural edits, but you can be as critical as you need haha (I'm well aware of how "slash-and-burn" the publishing industry can be, though I've never gone through that exact process myself) As a side note, though, I've already found some errors and edits in the story so far - so there may be some things you point out that have already been fixed, just not released yet. Thank you for your help, though! It's definitely always super helpful for me to get feedback on my work!
Hello, Ash! I tried giving your story a read but I can’t progress past the first passage of the prologue. When you upload your game to itch, under Embed options > frame options, there’s a checkbox labeled enable scrollbars. Make sure to select that or the page won’t scroll.
At the risk of sounding presumptuous, your prologue begins with your camp, and camp elder, and earth magic, and being able to listen to the magic vibrations… well, it all sounds, um… like mine. Granted, I only read the first page because I couldn’t progress further. Your story may go in a completely different way and be entirely your own, and I’d be delighted if mine was the inspiration for that. But I had to voice my concern that it felt very similar upon first glance.
Thank you! I'll check out the scroll bar issue. About the second problem, I have realized the similarities between our stories - I can assure that mine goes in a different direction, but I'm also in the middle of rewriting the prologue to both condense it and have a better lead into the story without sounding so close to yours. Thank you for checking it out, though! (I wanted to go more in-depth about my magic system to show it was different, but decided against a 3-page long infodump haha)
Your writing is so beautiful. The world of this story is also very unique. My favourite part of your stories are the characters. I love them all, even in the early stages. It's clear to see that you are passionate about what you do, and I hope you continue to create these amazing stories. You've certainly inspired me to pick up writing again, even if it's just for me. Thank you!
Thank you! To hear that I've inspired others is truly the best praise I could ever receive. And I 100% encourage writing for yourself. It took me decades to return to writing outside of a professional capacity, but I am so glad I did!
I'm sorry, but no, not at this time. May I ask what browser you're using? I had one reader mention they had some trouble with Microsoft Edge. I use Google Chrome and it works fine so maybe try that?
😞 ok...i understand...should i be bracing myself for no support/love in the near future?😟 juuuust gotta prepare. I'm a hyper empath 😅 I have faith in u to make the story amazing tho, pls dont take this as like criticism😍
THE WAY I AUDIBLY GASPED....author pls...is he taken....what do u mean there are only 4 ro's im crying 😭😭 im joking but wow what a way to end the chapter!!! im so excited for the next one!! ahhh!!!
!!!!!!!!!! HE'S GORGEOUSSS 😭 i can feel the pain coming soon w his story and im so here for it we can help each other heal 🥲 but wow i'm literally in love with all 5 of them you're incredible! i'm about to make different mcs for all of them bc i cant choose lol
That's wonderful, I'm glad you appreciate that option! A commenter here on my itch page mentioned it and it was a great suggestion. I'm glad you can relate to your MC better now. :)
AHHH I LOVE THIS!!! Everything about this is so enrapturing! The writing is amazing, the characters all feel so rich, and the music! I can't wait for the coming chapters!!!
Omg I just finished chapter 3 and that ending!!! How cruel of you to leave us hanging with THAT 😭
That being said, I can't wait to read more of this story! I already knew it was gonna be amazing ever since you announced it (after all I LOVED Viatica so it was a given) and I like how the story is going along 🥰 I'll be patiently waiting for the next chapter! Thank you for your work as always ❤️
Edit: Never mind!! And thank you so much!! Can't wait for the next update...and more of Tellus <3
Can't wait for the next update...although...despite the fact that the story has barely began my heart is already broken into million pieces. Not because of what has happened, but because of what I know will never happen.
Let's just say that, if at any point any revisions or additions are to be made to the original storyline idea, please hear our cries and have mercy on us, and let us have Tellus as a full-on romance option.
That sweet sweet childhood crush is really pulling my heart-strings, and I firmly believe that it deserves to be rekindled and made mutual, explored and expanded to its fullest potential, and built in to a something beautiful and passionate, fuelled by shared pain, loss, hope and fear <3
Feels so disappointing, a great waste, to leave it unexplored, unfulfilled. After all, all the makings of a truly exceptional love story are there. Not having Tellus as a romance option is not a deal breaker, but is a shame, and a definite source of heart ache and everlasting longing.
All that being said, can't wait to see what Vincente's story has in store for us... <3
Just because I’m not talking about certain THINGS right now doesn’t mean I don’t have PLANS. 😎 I’m trying not to give spoilers and give readers a chance to catch the update. I wouldn’t make any assumptions. Give me a few days. 😉
i just started this yesterday and it was so so immersive, i loved it! we have so many options in regards to who we are and how our character behaves and looks - it feels realistic and inclusive, and the story really struck a chord with me (pun intended?) i personally liked vicente a lot but all the romance options are incredible! that ending was insaneeee in a very good way, can't wait for the next chapter already omg <3
Thank you! I’m trying to include a lot more options and choices in this IF than my last one, and have them affect the story, so I’m happy to hear you appreciated that. 😊
your writing never fails to amaze me 🥹 i very very very much enjoyed viatica, but i can feel cantata is going to steal my heart 🫠 I'm a very musical person so this is right up my alley, plus I already have some knowledge on the italian musical terms used 🤭 (side note! I ended up naming my ferret piccolo, which i thought was pretty fitting!! )
I absolutely loveeee the storyline and the characters!! the plot is so unique and written in such a lovely way and I have to applaud the various choices we have control over because it really adds to the personality we get to shape for the mc! I've gone through quite a few IFs on here, and while pretty much every IF has been brilliant, there has been some instances where the dialogue or action options weren't exactly varied and I didn't especially connect with them, if that makes sense? but that's not an issue here at all, which is amazing! as for the ROs, I think I might just have to go with corinne ☺️ she's the coolest and her attentiveness is so sweet (but don't tell her I said that!)
!! spoiler warning !!
⚠️⚠️⚠️
ALSO I CAN'T BELIEVE TELLUS IS BACK!! it's definitely not something I saw coming, i sat there in disbelief when the chapter ended just there! I think it'll be cool to have tellus/coda back, I'm very intrigued to find out his own survival story and how he appears to have lost some connection to the cordis as well as see what he'll bring to the story! although i am also curious to see what will happen with the mc's cover seeing as tellus and mc knew eachother as children 👀 I hope he doesn't give away anything too big just yet while mc scopes out their surroundings!
by the way, I had no idea how much of an ESSAY I had typed out just now, so sorry about that haha!
I can't wait to see what happens next! hope you're doing well and enjoying the summer so far 🤗
p.s. this is completely off topic and you can disregard it if you like, but if you're ever in need of a theme for future IFs after this one is finished (which i shudder at the thought of), it would be pretty cool if you considered irish/celtic folklore, such as selkies, the púca fairies, the Sidhe, the goddess Ériu or the Tuatha Dé Danann and so on 🧚♀️ it's not exactly similar to what you've done before so I'd understand if this was out of place, but I'm irish, so I can't help but suggest it 🤭 and if not, these myths/tales always make for a good read!
Piccolo is a great name! ❤️ I’m glad you appreciate the musical aspect! And I’m glad you found the choices appropriate to your MC; I’m really trying to make this IF more inclusive and customizable than Viatica was so I’m happy to hear you thought of it as such.
Fun fact, I am Italian on one side and Irish on the other, so that would be a neat way to honor my other heritage. I’ll give it some thought, thank you!
And don’t ever apologize for writing long comments, I love them!
thank you so much ☺️ viatica was super cool but I did notice that there seemed to be a lot more choices for the mc this time!
it's so cool to find out that you're part irish! I'm glad that my suggestion does have some meaning after all 👀 I can imagine the amount of work that goes into these IFs, so it's nice to hear that you'll think about it!
as for my long comments, they'll likely make an appearance again in the future ⭐️
My only complaint is that I am simply too impatient for the next bit! Just finished chapter 3 and absolutely loved all of it but am sooooo hungry for more. Also that ending omg!!!!
Also I'm deffinately way too indecisive when it comes to the romance choices. There's just too much to pick from.
oh we are so back. (admittedly a little late because i am still actively going thru exam szn but shh)
spoilers below gang
FIR AND FREAKING FIREWEED??????????? HELLO?????????????? TELLUS IS ALIVE???????? WJAT ISB GOING ON ASDFGHJKL. tellus my shayla im in SHAMBLESSSSS
but seriously! jokes aside, this chapter is so YUMMY i ate it all up in 30 mins flat NOMNOMNOM. soso happy to finally see mc using their voice again with the resistenza, we can only hope nothing bad happens to them in chapter four... （*゜ー゜*）
cantata is literally so amazing i love it so far ever since i first stumbled across viatica like AGES AGO!!! keep up the good work!!!!
okay sorry for this long ass message but ily thank you for being awesome in general and i can't wait to see what happens next!!! (●(●ˇ∀ˇ●)
Lol, you never have to apologize, my friend. I live for your comments! 😆 Every time I drop an update I’m like, I can’t wait to see Angel’s reaction to THIS!
This story has everything I absolutely love. Reading this is like breathing fresh air, and every chapter just gets better and better! You're an amazing author, can't wait to read chapter 4 and the next ❤️
Ok, I literally set a calendar reminder to check back because I was promised an update and holy shit! What a chapter! Ugh, my heart! I want to romance all these motherfuckers.
Also, can we talk about the soundtrack? It is fire! Each song fits so well with what's happening and they are just so *chef's kiss* Seriously, if you haven't tried this game yet or you have and you didn't bother with sound, please try it!!
I can't wait until this is done and I may have to try and hold out on playing it again until it is. I know that's super far away, but I just can't get cut off in the middle of such a great story again!! I'm going to try to be strong. Wish me luck!....finish quick, please!! 🥺🙏
So, i don't know if it's intended or not, but in the guards scene in chapter 3, right before finding the elder, the guard refers to my character as a man, though she's a trans woman (if it is intentional, weird that it kinda goes nowhere)
That was intentional. That was a moment of hate speech—the Capitano is not a good character, so they’re not going to respect your pronouns. It’s also not the last time you’ll see that soldier.

Ah, I understand. Thanks to you both! :)
I am so excited to get more of this game. I absolutely NEED more of Vicente
Thank you! I'm glad Vicente still has his fans. There was a mass exodus to Tellus, lol.
Giving my mans a Puss in Boots personality with a yearning for vengeance. This'll be fun.
Niiiiiiiice!
That's incredible! I was transported into your world and now I am struggling to come down reality. Incredible characters and beautiful story surrounding the Iredicci. Can't wait for more!

TELLUS!!! im so excited for the next chap <3 i love your writing: thank you for making this!!
You are most welcome!
is it possible to make a downloadable version? it doesnt run on my browser for some reason
I'm sorry, but no, not at this time. May I ask what browser you're using? I had one reader mention they had some trouble with Microsoft Edge. I use Google Chrome and it works fine so maybe try that?
im using opera since it runs smoother on my computer maybe thats why..ty for the response though! ill just try on my other device when i can.
i love this story so far and i love every single character!!! and that surprise reveal at the end of this chapter... my heartttt 😭💕
Thank you!
my relief at not being the only one who formed an attachment to tellus within the 5 or so sentences he was mentioned in is insane.
and now you've BLESSED US LIKE THIS??? you're too good to us
I’m so glad you all did form an attachment because you manifested this! ❤️
Tellus my love! Be sweet to me again! 😩If I don't get a bear hug I will straight up cry
Erm… well… you’ll get a hug eventually? It might take some doing. 😅
Spoilers

😞 ok...i understand...should i be bracing myself for no support/love in the near future?😟 juuuust gotta prepare. I'm a hyper empath 😅 I have faith in u to make the story amazing tho, pls dont take this as like criticism😍
No worries, I didn’t take it as such! And I appreciate your faith in me. 😁
Tellus is going to be a prickly porcupine for a while. It’ll take some work to get past those defenses, but once you do, it’ll be worth it!
I love this game so much! End of demo give me a new hope.. I hope Tellus can be a RO in the future. I'm weak to childhood friend to lovers trope 🥺
So am I! And you are in luck, because he is. 😉
THAT'S A GREAT NEWS!!! THANK YOUU SM, I'M SO HAPPY!!! 😭😭😭

AHHH I LOVE THIS!!! Everything about this is so enrapturing! The writing is amazing, the characters all feel so rich, and the music! I can't wait for the coming chapters!!!
Thank you! I'm happy you're enjoying it and I can't wait to share more!
oh my gosh!! and here i was thinking i would never love something like i loved Viatica! i'm speechless, honestly
Aww, thank you!
I KNEW HE WAS ALIVE IM NOT CRAZY!!!!!
Lol, he actually wasn't. I never intended him to be a character, but he received so much love that I considered the possibility... and here we are!
Ok, this chapter was perfect, my reaction was the same as MC's at the end: speechless.
Thank you!
Omg I just finished chapter 3 and that ending!!! How cruel of you to leave us hanging with THAT 😭
That being said, I can't wait to read more of this story! I already knew it was gonna be amazing ever since you announced it (after all I LOVED Viatica so it was a given) and I like how the story is going along 🥰 I'll be patiently waiting for the next chapter! Thank you for your work as always ❤️
Thank you for your kind words! I’m excited to share this story with you!

Thank you! I really have been blessed with some awesome (and hilarious) readers. I’m glad you joined us! 🫶🏻

of course! you deserve all the praise, looking forward to more of your work 💗💗💗
chapter 3 can't just end like that!
😎
You sure about that? 😏
OH BOY with that ending, the fact my mc named her pet after you-know-who is gonna make things.... interesting
Oh, the flavor text I’m already imagining… 😎
your writing never fails to amaze me 🥹 i very very very much enjoyed viatica, but i can feel cantata is going to steal my heart 🫠 I'm a very musical person so this is right up my alley, plus I already have some knowledge on the italian musical terms used 🤭 (side note!

Also I'm deffinately way too indecisive when it comes to the romance choices. There's just too much to pick from.

oh we are so back. (admittedly a little late because i am still actively going thru exam szn but shh)

This story has everything I absolutely love. Reading this is like breathing fresh air, and every chapter just gets better and better! You're an amazing author, can't wait to read chapter 4 and the next ❤️
Thank you so much!
Ok, I literally set a calendar reminder to check back because I was promised an update and holy shit! What a chapter! Ugh, my heart! I want to romance all these motherfuckers.
Also, can we talk about the soundtrack? It is fire! Each song fits so well with what's happening and they are just so *chef's kiss* Seriously, if you haven't tried this game yet or you have and you didn't bother with sound, please try it!!
I can't wait until this is done and I may have to try and hold out on playing it again until it is. I know that's super far away, but I just can't get cut off in the middle of such a great story again!! I'm going to try to be strong. Wish me luck!....finish quick, please!! 🥺🙏
Resistance is futile, mwahaha! 😈
But seriously, thank you for reading! I’m glad you enjoyed the story and music!
amazing novel so far. I really dig the background and concept. the characters are all very interesting. will keep this bookmarked for later
Warning: spoilers
So, i don't know if it's intended or not, but in the guards scene in chapter 3, right before finding the elder, the guard refers to my character as a man, though she's a trans woman (if it is intentional, weird that it kinda goes nowhere)
That was intentional. That was a moment of hate speech—the Capitano is not a good character, so they’re not going to respect your pronouns. It’s also not the last time you’ll see that soldier.
Is it weird that i want more stuff like that? It's weirdly validating for some reason
Not weird at all! I had intended it as a way to acknowledge your choices and bravery in being who you are, especially in a place that isn’t accepting.
I also like to think of it as a way of being defiant, too. Another “f you” to the empire, so to speak. 😉
