"TELLUS IS ALIVE AND A 5TH RO!?!?? GRAAAAAGAGAGAGAEHHEHEHEHEHEHAAAAAA" i scream as they drag me back to the white padded room
jokes aside, i have sadly been to busy to read the update before today(Family issues :/ )But i am reading it now and will update this when have finished it ^^
just finished reading the chapter and. . . FIR WHAT DID I DO TO YOU?? FIRST YOU MAKE ME THINK POOR SWEET TELLUS IS DEAD, THEN YOU MAKE HIM MORE FUCKING CUTE BY GIVING MC AN ACCESSORY, BUT MC\WE STILL THINK HES FUCKING DEAD, THEN YOU DO **THIS** 💔💔💔 I JUST CANNOT PICK WHO TO HAVE AS A RO NOW GRAAAAAA
first off, happy pride :3, second of all, i have returned from the depths of my ADHD meds not being stocked, huge autistic meltdown AT SCHOOL (i wont live that down), and drowning in schoolwork, just to simp over Vincente, Bayram, and Tellus. I want to squish themmmm >:DD RAHHH CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TO LOVERSSSS
all male ROs are huuugggeeee transition goals anywayyy, have a great day, Fir, i hope you find a 50 dollar note on the street, and to all my fellow trans nd gay babies, STAY SAFE I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
I love this story!! All the characters (boths ROs and non ROs) are so charming and intriguing. The writing is very engaging – had me throw my hands up in disappointment when I met the ‘end of demo’ page.
“The relationships were purely physical. You’re no stranger to sex, and that’s all you wanted from them.”
Does this lock you out of romance? I’ll bite the bullet and choose the second option if I have to, but I don’t want to cuz it’s out of character for my mc to have wanted to have gone deeper with anyone they’ve met so far, what with the iredicci genocide thing :/
edit: Oooh I code dived and it seems it only tracks being a virgin. Awesome!
Hello! You won’t have any choices that unwittingly lock you out of romance, it always comes down to a deliberate choice. You can even choose to abstain in the eventual sex scenes and still be on a romance route. 😊
Also, not sure how I feel about code diving, lol 😬 though I understand it’s a common thing for this media. Just know there may be spoilers in there.
The way i dropped and fell to my knees at the end of chapter 3. You are one cruel woman, Fir. Genius, but cruel. God, I need to buy aloe gel for my eyes. Hurts from crying too much 🥲
I love the story and premise of this game, the iredecci seem very interesting and i'm excited to see the kind of person the MC becomes and how the story progresses. I love these kind of games they are my favorite, good job.
hi,just hear me out. like what if in the next ch when you see Tellus you run up to him and jump upto hug him. like a koala . Just think about it. aaaahhh.
lol,exreme.But I like your enthusiasm.OMG. Imagine like when you jump him you impulsively kiss him then you realize to late what you did and stare at each other in embarrassment. My imagination is running a little to wild. I'll stop now.
It’s because he was a major surprise bomb I just dropped on everyone 2 weeks ago, lol. He wasn’t originally going to be alive, much less an RO in my original draft. 😅 His bar will be included in future updates.
Vicente is bbg I swear, he's just so 😋😍. And before I found out Dirk was actually Vicente, I was actually kind of sad he wasn't a romance option, then i realized he was🖤. I can't wait for the rest!!
Jogo perfeito, mas deveria ter alguma forma de salvar seu progresso, qmo tanto esse jogo, mas toda vez q eu entro tenho q jogar tudo denovo. Pois toda vez q saio do jogo meu processo é perdido
Hello! Ok so if Google translate worked, you didn’t know how to save? Click on the arrow in the middle there and you can save. I’d recommend exporting your saves, too. 😁
Of course! It’s difficult not to fall for her futchly charms and strong personality. She’s like what I aspire to be, disciplined and righteous. I really love her. Thanks for creating her and this story 🖤
Actually it’s 3 chapters, no prologue, and a very rough estimate would be 14-15 chapters. I’m not sure where you got your info but it’s incorrect. This story is still very early stages. 🙂
Hello! If you look at the link “more information” you can see this IF is listed as in development. You can also see the published date, which was January of this year. It’s still very new but I’ve got big things planned. Thank you for giving it a try!
Tbh Calliope is such a goofball 😂❤️ I wonder what exactly she thought when she saw the weapon 🤔, she probably thought of her dad who honestly (at least to me from the encounter in chapter 2) seemed like a nice man who loves his daughter [okay i should stop talking before i start rambling and this comment gets too long]
OHHH MY GOOOOD !!!! chapter 3 was a banger... so many people to romance... oh my !! and that ENDING!!! how could you leave us on such a cliffhanger </3 i'm looking forward to the next chapter!!!!!
TELLUS MY BOY AAAAA A *writhing on the floor and foaming at the mouth* like i adore this if so much and when we discovered tellus had died i was so distraught, so this reveal had me screaming fr! i am so excited for future updates and getting to reunite with him aaa thank you sm for sharing your beautiful writing with us, it bring me such joy
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?

My MC, holding up their pet fox (who they named after Tellus) and looking @ Tellus: "This is our SON!"
I am vibrating with how excited I am for the next chapter aaaa!!! Please please I want to hug Tellus so tightly and never let go again :')
“our son” 😂
You won’t be hugging him just yet, but I appreciate the sentiment!
Wait, we won't?? Noooooooo😭😭😭😭😭😭

Lol, welcome back yorbb! I hope your family issues have resolved. Sorry
not sorryabout the new development! 😈first off, happy pride :3, second of all, i have returned from the depths of my ADHD meds not being stocked, huge autistic meltdown AT SCHOOL (i wont live that down), and drowning in schoolwork, just to simp over Vincente, Bayram, and Tellus.

all male ROs are huuugggeeee transition goals
anywayyy,
have a great day, Fir, i hope you find a 50 dollar note on the street, and to all my fellow trans nd gay babies, STAY SAFE I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
i fully agree about all the male ROs being transition goals (Happy pride btw >:D )
YES HAPPY PRIDE!!!!! >:3
Hahaha, the 50 dollar note is so specific, but thank you!! 😂
I’m glad to see you back and well, my friend! You stay safe, too, and happy pride! 💕
CHAPTER 4 GIMME!!!
I love this story!! All the characters (boths ROs and non ROs) are so charming and intriguing. The writing is very engaging – had me throw my hands up in disappointment when I met the ‘end of demo’ page.
Thank you!

Hahaha, sorry rvnwd! 🫶🏻 Once your eyes recover, I hope it inspires more of your gorgeous art!
You know it will. I hope you stumble upon a dollar or two in day to day basis and your pillow stay cold on both sides 🫡❤️
I love the story and premise of this game, the iredecci seem very interesting and i'm excited to see the kind of person the MC becomes and how the story progresses. I love these kind of games they are my favorite, good job.
Thank you!
Omg this story is incredible. I really hope to let the mask slip soon, I've been dying to talk again! Maybe as much as my character!
Thank you! You won’t full on drop it for a while, but you’ll have little moments where it slips a bit. 😉
hi,just hear me out. like what if in the next ch when you see Tellus you run up to him and jump upto hug him. like a koala . Just think about it. aaaahhh.
I will Storm fir's house with a pitchfork and torch if this isnt added trust
lol,exreme.But I like your enthusiasm.OMG. Imagine like when you jump him you impulsively kiss him then you realize to late what you did and stare at each other in embarrassment. My imagination is running a little to wild. I'll stop now.
running off to write a fanfic now (I cannot write for the life of me )
I’m afraid this won’t happen, lol. But trust that I’ve got good things planned. 😁
'tis fine . I'll love what you write no matter what.(;
Do you mind me asking why Tellus isn't in the Relationships tab? Is it because I haven't met him again?
It’s because he was a major surprise bomb I just dropped on everyone 2 weeks ago, lol. He wasn’t originally going to be alive, much less an RO in my original draft. 😅 His bar will be included in future updates.
Thank you for your response. That makes sense.
Vicente is bbg I swear, he's just so 😋😍. And before I found out Dirk was actually Vicente, I was actually kind of sad he wasn't a romance option, then i realized he was🖤. I can't wait for the rest!!
i just finished the demo, and how dare you end it on a cliffhanger, ive already changed my favorite, its tellus now 🖤🖤
😇
Jogo perfeito, mas deveria ter alguma forma de salvar seu progresso, qmo tanto esse jogo, mas toda vez q eu entro tenho q jogar tudo denovo. Pois toda vez q saio do jogo meu processo é perdido
Hello! Ok so if Google translate worked, you didn’t know how to save? Click on the arrow in the middle there and you can save. I’d recommend exporting your saves, too. 😁
Corinne, my beloved… I will protect you.
Yay, Corinne romancer! 🙌🏻
Of course! It’s difficult not to fall for her futchly charms and strong personality. She’s like what I aspire to be, disciplined and righteous. I really love her. Thanks for creating her and this story 🖤
who keeps downvoting you 😭
Right?! I thought that, too! Their comment is nothing but love and Corinne is fabulous. 💪🏻
I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS A DEMO </3
it's a demo? like is it short or long enough?
it’s prologue + three chapters, estimated to be ten chapters when finished iirc (so it’s nearly a third)
Actually it’s 3 chapters, no prologue, and a very rough estimate would be 14-15 chapters. I’m not sure where you got your info but it’s incorrect. This story is still very early stages. 🙂
Best news I've heard all night.

My artist Isabela is amazing! ❤️
Tbh Calliope is such a goofball 😂❤️ I wonder what exactly she thought when she saw the weapon 🤔, she probably thought of her dad who honestly (at least to me from the encounter in chapter 2) seemed like a nice man who loves his daughter [okay i should stop talking before i start rambling and this comment gets too long]
I’m glad you like Calliope! Thank you for reading!
I yearn for Tellus like a man yearning for water in a desert...
🤭
WHY do i always miss the updates when they happen 😭
😭
Nooooo, it can't end there!? 😭 How am I gonna choose between Vicente and Tellus?
At least let me hug Tellus the human in next chapter. Also, I loved getting the chance to sing a dirge for our family and ppl.
Lol, sorry for making your choice harder. 😅 And I’m so glad you liked that scene, that was probably my favorite!
OMGGGGGGGGGGG IM FANGIRLLING OVER EVERYONEEE
YIPPEEEEEE
😆🥳
OMGGGGGG PLSS WHEN IS THE NEXT UPDATE OMG TELLUS OMGOMGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you’re excited but next chapter won’t be for a while; I’m estimating September/October timeframe. 🙂
RAHHHHH VINCENTE!!!!! i'm at school and have set his art as my wallpaper. I am a forever procrastinator for you, Fir. :3333
Yasss! I love that!
finally someone loves me procrastinating lmao <3 :3
That cliffhanger was absolutely diabolical.
Brilliantly done.
Thank you! 😈
OHHH MY GOOOOD !!!! chapter 3 was a banger... so many people to romance... oh my !! and that ENDING!!! how could you leave us on such a cliffhanger </3

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!

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.
