I FORGOT TODAY WAS APRIL FOOLS IM GONNA FUCKING- BSJBSBBSBUSUHSBUAUAJBHBSBHAHXDBSSAJHZ
anyways i loved the short stories for our Viatica friends (Heron and Ferret my beloved💕💕) even if part if my soul was ripped from my body (not in a good way)
loved the bar one honestly ("im speaking in cursive and its fucking elegant" im using this even though ill never drink 😼)
anyways im 100% going to cry now (joking obviously...)
have a good day everyone and dont come checking on me please i need my main character moment
also what the actual FUCK did we do to you for that last short story with bison and fawn?! i feel hurt, betrayed, attacked, and many more big words i dont remember.
me too. saw the announcement during morning and was really excited the whole day and wanted to do a calm reread with snacks. now im sitting here in little disappointment...
while i can see the joke here, in my opinion a april fools joke should be somewhat obvious, which to me this wasnt.
[and no, im not hating, guess this is just my small rant, since now my plan for the eveneing is ruined...]
BUT THE LAST PART WAS SO ILLEGAL. YOU BROUGHT FAWN AND BISON BACK WHEN YOU KILLED THEM IN CANON. I WILL NEVER GET OVER THEIR DEATHS THIS IS CUREL 💔💔💔💔💔
FUUUUU IT'S NOT THE SAME THO 😭😭😭💔💔💔💔 JUST IMAGINING WHAT THEY COULD'VE HAD IS KILLING ME SOMEONE MAKE A FANFIC OR AU OR SMTH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔
idk if this will help but after the death of Ivan and till from alien stage i just started imagining theyre alive and happy and have a totally normal family together and whenever i saw ANYTHING mention they werent alive i blocked it out my memory like the normal person i am(joking obviously)
So just try that? :3 (also i got my friend to help us storm our darling authors place so get your pitchfork and torch ready >:3 )
The timer for when I’m gonna explode is ticking. Only chapter 2 can stop it.😔
I neeed to meet Corinne!! I wish I could just pause my life until chapter two comes out cause wdym I have to actually get up and start my day without chapter 2 of cantata💔
I literally had a thought about why the update was coming on April fools dayyyyyyy but then I thought our dear author was too kind but I guess nottt [kidding, I loved all of them... CAN YOU GIVE US SOME MORE ROMANTIC ONES WITH ALL CHARACTERS... My top three ROs are 1. Heron, 2. Robin, 3. Lion.
Thank you for this blessing in the form of a troll.
Hahaha, glad it wasn’t too bad of a prank! I really enjoyed writing these characters in a more relaxed setting, so there may be more snippets in the future. 😁
Hi Cosmo! Yay, a Bayramancer! I originally wasn’t going to introduce Bayram till much later; he’s in a completely different nation after all. But he needed screen time, too, and I’m really happy with the way the scene came out. Can’t wait to share it!
INSANELY hyped for this, you don’t understand … that first chapter was amazing. Oh my god. Came here from Viatica and can I just say that your writing has only gotten better and better, I swear. The music is such a nice touch, I’m not usually one for background music but something about it here just works. Loving the MC choices thus far—the explicitly trans options were not anticipated and so so absolutely loved and appreciated! <3 Mother Unda being immediately supportive, we love to see it. Such a sucker for good IF parents lol. Had a huge, dumb smile on my face while reading the first chapter—or, well. The first part, anyways. ;-; not afraid to admit that the second half had me shedding a few tears. I kept thinking of Unda, Tellus (MY BABYYY), and all of the kids we got these little glimpses of in the beginning ... augh. My heart hurts. It’s not often that an IF manages to get me so immediately attached to background characters—especially not in the first chapter!—but you’ve done it so incredibly well. Gotta mention the world building, too! Super intriguing. Now I’m stuck in this fly trap of a story and can’t escape LMAO.
April 1st cannot come soon enough, I am ready and prepared to suffer babyyy :,D
Thank you so much! I can’t tell you how happy it made me to read this! 🥹 I’m trying to do all the things I didn’t/couldn’t do in Viatica, like the trans options, so I’m really glad you enjoyed that!
It won’t be all suffering, I promise! Though I’m glad you’re here for that. 😁
i literally cannot wait for this, i loved viatica and you as a writer and i'm not only invested in this world but how our mc is going to handle faking something like this for YEARS. and even how our ROs react to it, if they believe it at all. I DONT KNOW, THERE'S JUST SO MANY POSSIBILITIES, april 1st cannot come any quicker. amazing work <3
just played the demo real interesting story I can’t wait to see more! My only complaint was that I couldn’t mute the music. Wouldn’t be a problem if I wasn’t paying for my phone.
I understand not everyone will like the music, but it is meant to be an integral part of the story; it mirrors the emotions the MC is experiencing. You’ll have to mute your device in order to turn it off. I appreciate you giving my story a try despite that!
The writing is solid and the inclusion of a soundtrack is fantastic but the pacing and intro lacks action, I kind of felt bored throughout the demo.
The intro should be set in the modern day where the action and drama starts with flashback scenes coming later or make the intro shorter. But overall its good.
I HAVENT PLAYED YET BUT IM SO EXCITED I LOVED VIATICA AND I KNOW THIS WILL BE SO GOOD!!! THE CHARACTER DESIGNS ARE ALREADY SO AMAZING IM SO EXCITED AHHH
I’m glad you’re excited, and I’m always happy to see a returning Viatica reader! ❤️ If you’re up for waiting a little longer, Chapter 2 will drop very soon, maybe in a week? Writing is complete, I’m just doing testing. Final stretch!
Ok so it took me a while to get around to this one. I liked Viatica, but there were places where it felt like the writing was a bit off. The pacing felt off, the dialogue was a bit stunted (beyond just the amount you'd expect given the setting), and overall it just left an impression on me that it needed refinement. Good story, and the writing wasn't bad, but it could use some work.
I got none of that from this story. The characters are very well written, the dialogue flows naturally, and so far the pacing is excellent. It seems very clear that the author has had a ton of improvement in their writing, and I'm very excited for more of this.
I'd say the only thing I have to critique at the moment is the actual itch page. A gigantic lore dump right off the bat is exhausting to read. That lore is cool, and deserves to have its own place, but maybe there could be a short story introduction before the lore dump begins? Something to hook me and justify why I should care about any of the lore.
Thank you for giving my story a try. 🙂 The wall of text is extensive, I agree. This is a slimmed down version of what I originally wrote, if you can believe that. Now that I have a codex 🥳 I’ll see about moving some of this info over there.
I get so sad everytime I re read it and unda dies like she was so sweet supportive of the mc preferences and being their self much more than my actual mom🙏😭
I avoid reading too much into the story description to be surprised and... well, I'm devastated.
What do you mean my beloved mother, Tellus, and my people died?? I'm going to make it my life's mission in this to absolutely destroy Andreano (I hope I can, pleaseee. I know my people are originally peaceful, but I want revenge).
That said, I absolutely loved this. Looking forward to more <3
It is now in my head canon that Viatica takes place in the same universe (prob different time period) and that MC from Viatica was slightly attuned to fire (cuz healing).
Question I've been meaning to ask, in chapter two will we play some more as teenage/kid mc or will it time skip straight to adult at the start and just recap what happened over time?
Absolutely breathtaking writing as expected from you!! I played all of Viatica as it came out in installments and, although I admit I'm not super into the genre, the writing style was so lovely I played the entirety. Now THIS is a game I'm looking forward to. I adore IFs of all sorts but historical fiction and fantasy are my true loves. I'm already enamored with the setting, story, and the currently introduced characters! Love the bits of Italian in there, so far the Iredicci's position in life reminds me a bit of a mix between Dragon Age Origins' elves and early american-italian immigrants; both groups treated poorly historically as well as many other comparisons I wont bore you with. I have a feeling I'm going to wind up romancing Vicente (Im a sucker for his character type) and I'll be watching for updates!!! I have so much more to say but I'm rambling so I'll just leave it at this- I love this!!! Take your time and have fun with it, we'll be here whenever you're ready for us to absorb it!
Thank you so much! That's a huge compliment regarding Viatica- the fact that it's not your usual genre but that you read the entire thing anyway. Thank you for telling me!
I love the comparison with DA elves, being a big fan of DA games myself. There are a lot of real world examples to base the Iredicci on, unfortunately. I had in mind the indigenous peoples of America, but you have a good example, too. I'm glad my story inspired such reflections.
Thank you, again! I am definitely having a lot of fun writing this. I will always love Viatica but it's nice to start on a fresh new idea. I can't wait to share more with you!
This was absolutely amazing. I love Viatica so I knew I’d love Cantata too but the way you used the concept of music, the elements, voices and language blew me away. Something about music and tone being a marginalised group’s legacy is so beautiful to me. I especially loved how you mentioned the Iredicci have ‘two’ voices as opposed to everyone else having one, and that the latter’s sounds lonely. The final scenes in ep one were haunting and the use of music (the sharp string especially!) during the scene where the soldier checked the house made it even better for me?? can’t wait for the new ep‼️
Thank you so much! Both for your kind words and for following my work since Viatica. This IF has a little bit of all that I love: music, words, my Italian heritage… and of course, some good slow burn romance. 😉 I’m glad you enjoyed it so far. I hope to release Chapter 2 by the end of March!
Thank you! I can guarantee happiness, much, much happiness, lol. I’m not generally an angsty writer, though admittedly Cantata has a lot of angst planned. But I have as much joy and positivity planned, too!
im so excited for this! i really enjoyed viatica as well, but fantasy like this is so up my alley. selfishly, i hope this one ends up being longer than viatica :'- ) chapter 1 was so effective, i hope chapter 2 comes swiftly!
Thank you for reading both this and Viatica! I’m a fantasy buff, too. 😁 This one will definitely be longer. The chapters will come slower for this, but still regularly. Chapter 2 will be out in April!
I found your Viatica work and I love the story! I look into your profile more and saw a new IF uploaded, being as impatient and curious as I was, I checked it out. Surprised to find me crying at the end of chapter one and the story still being a demo. I love your writing so badly and I thrive to make IF as best as you!!
Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you found both stories!
Make sure to write what you love. ❤️ As cliche as it sounds, it really does help. Returning to fiction after decades of corporate writing has really been cathartic for me. And much cheaper than therapy, lol. Good luck with your own work!
my imagination went wild with this, and i was so immersed. i was so happy, the sense of community and the children complimenting my cooking and being so cute... i cant T-T
like everyone here i will wait diligently... and thank u i enjoyed reading/playing this game <3
You’re welcome, and thank you, too! Updates will definitely be slower on this than Viatica, but regular. And the chapters are much longer in Cantata, so it’ll be worth the wait!
Loved Viatica (beautiful beautiful beautiful game I still think about it all the time) and now I'm loving this to! The magic system is magnifico, I was so sad during the dance since I knew what was to come. And Tellus and his little crush???? SOBBING. I am so excited for more, you do great work 🫶

i will add: You definitely Lost all your aura points for this, But im sure you'll gain them back again with the next update💕💕
I KNEWWWW IT!
Still a very pleasant surprise!
(I still can't believe the ending of Language Lessons)
That was a tribute to an old comment on the Viatica page. It still makes me laugh!
I'm so hurt rn

while i can see the joke here, in my opinion a april fools joke should be somewhat obvious, which to me this wasnt.
[and no, im not hating, guess this is just my small rant, since now my plan for the eveneing is ruined...]
I can't believe I fell for this wtf 😭
BUT STILL LOVELY ONE SHOTS I LOVED THEM ALL
BUT THE LAST PART WAS SO ILLEGAL. YOU BROUGHT FAWN AND BISON BACK WHEN YOU KILLED THEM IN CANON. I WILL NEVER GET OVER THEIR DEATHS THIS IS CUREL 💔💔💔💔💔

🫣
I'm ready. Let's do it 🔥🔥🔥🔥
But… but… now you can imagine them living on together in another time and place!
I get it, though, lol. I needed to see them one last time myself, too. ❤️
FUUUUU IT'S NOT THE SAME THO 😭😭😭💔💔💔💔 JUST IMAGINING WHAT THEY COULD'VE HAD IS KILLING ME SOMEONE MAKE A FANFIC OR AU OR SMTH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔

I will try my best to imagine they never died 😞
(AND YES LET'S GO! PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES READY!!!)
I don't think I've ever hated something I love so much.
This response! 🤣
I didn’t even question it. I walked straight into the trap. April Fools’ has never hit me this hard. 😔
🤭😇
A betrayal of the highest degree! How dare you grace us with tales of beloved characters
Lol! Glad it was a good consolation prize. 😅
This made me laugh I half expected an April fools joke when i saw the release date lol
🤭😇
The timer for when I’m gonna explode is ticking. Only chapter 2 can stop it.😔
I neeed to meet Corinne!! I wish I could just pause my life until chapter two comes out cause wdym I have to actually get up and start my day without chapter 2 of cantata💔
Lol, sorry, Bat! Just a couple more days!
Noooo, 😂 not even April yet.
Lol it’s still March 31 for me, too, but I had no patience! I was like, well, it’s April 1 somewhere in the world right now! 😂
You would be correct. April 1st here and I STILL fell for it!
huh.
You really trolled us didn't you?
I literally had a thought about why the update was coming on April fools dayyyyyyy but then I thought our dear author was too kind but I guess nottt [kidding, I loved all of them... CAN YOU GIVE US SOME MORE ROMANTIC ONES WITH ALL CHARACTERS... My top three ROs are 1. Heron, 2. Robin, 3. Lion.

Lol, I was too impatient, I’ve been giggling devilishly all morning! 😈
I’m glad you liked the one shots and had a good humor about it! 😅🥰
Just a few more days... A few more...
I'm foaming at the mouth, I swear
I'm so, so excited to meet the ROs. Been seeing so many intrigued by Vincente, which understandable, in all honesty. But where's my Bayram love????
Hi Cosmo! Yay, a Bayramancer! I originally wasn’t going to introduce Bayram till much later; he’s in a completely different nation after all. But he needed screen time, too, and I’m really happy with the way the scene came out. Can’t wait to share it!
I'm usually turned away by characters described as shameless flirts. ^_^'
AGH just saw the update news and CANNOT WAITTTT
cannot wait to meet the ROs! (Totally not planning on kidnapping Calliope and Vicente, So uh you won't need to keep an eye on them! :)💕)
and a little furry friend?! WBSBHJSJBHABJABHJJU
Lol, I’m glad you’re excited, thank you! Vicente and Calliope will be happy to meet you, too. 😏 I hope the meetings live up to expectations!

Thank you so much! I appreciate you following me since Viatica. I’m excited to share this new journey with you, too!
just played the demo real interesting story I can’t wait to see more! My only complaint was that I couldn’t mute the music. Wouldn’t be a problem if I wasn’t paying for my phone.

This is so good!! The plot seems great and intriguing, got me immersed in the story fr im invested 😍 Cant wait for the update~
Thank you!
Hello!!! I’m so excited to read ch. 2!!! Ch. 1 was so good and I honestly have no complaints, this is going to be such a fun read!
(Also, I read Viatica and that was so amazing too!)
Thank you!
The writing is solid and the inclusion of a soundtrack is fantastic but the pacing and intro lacks action, I kind of felt bored throughout the demo.
The intro should be set in the modern day where the action and drama starts with flashback scenes coming later or make the intro shorter. But overall its good.
I HAVENT PLAYED YET BUT IM SO EXCITED I LOVED VIATICA AND I KNOW THIS WILL BE SO GOOD!!! THE CHARACTER DESIGNS ARE ALREADY SO AMAZING IM SO EXCITED AHHH
I’m glad you’re excited, and I’m always happy to see a returning Viatica reader! ❤️ If you’re up for waiting a little longer, Chapter 2 will drop very soon, maybe in a week? Writing is complete, I’m just doing testing. Final stretch!
I am SO up for waiting!! incredibly excited because chapter 1 was already amazing!! may have cried a little bit already 😭
I loved Viatica and while it still has a special place in my heart, I think I’ll love this one more.
Same, actually! I have a lot more creative freedom with this one, and the story is ever evolving. Thank you for coming on this journey with me!
I read
I like
I wait
Lol, thank you! The next chapter is nearly done, thank you for waiting! ❤️
Ok so it took me a while to get around to this one. I liked Viatica, but there were places where it felt like the writing was a bit off.

I am a big lore nerd for stuff like this and I will absolutely devour the codex (and whatever you add to it) when I have the time >:3
Absolutely love what you're doing here. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
I get so sad everytime I re read it and unda dies like she was so sweet supportive of the mc preferences and being their self much more than my actual mom🙏😭
I WILL AVENGE YOU MOTHER UNDA!!🤞
💪🏻🫡
I avoid reading too much into the story description to be surprised and... well, I'm devastated.
What do you mean my beloved mother, Tellus, and my people died?? I'm going to make it my life's mission in this to absolutely destroy Andreano (I hope I can, pleaseee. I know my people are originally peaceful, but I want revenge).
That said, I absolutely loved this. Looking forward to more <3
Thank you, I’m glad you’re enjoying it! And yes, you will absolutely have the option for vengeance! 😈
It is now in my head canon that Viatica takes place in the same universe (prob different time period) and that MC from Viatica was slightly attuned to fire (cuz healing).
That’s it, I am blessing this post. It is now canon.
I love this! 😆❤️
Question I've been meaning to ask, in chapter two will we play some more as teenage/kid mc or will it time skip straight to adult at the start and just recap what happened over time?
Hello, again, Bat! It time skips 5 years; you are 17 for the majority of Chapter 2.
Okk thankss! I’ve been wondering for a while just never got around to asking till now XP
Absolutely breathtaking writing as expected from you!! I played all of Viatica as it came out in installments and, although I admit I'm not super into the genre, the writing style was so lovely I played the entirety.

Thank you, again! I am definitely having a lot of fun writing this. I will always love Viatica but it's nice to start on a fresh new idea. I can't wait to share more with you!
I really enjoyed this and can't wait for more! It would be nice to be able to turn down the music/turn it off though
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! You'll have to alter the volume on your device; coding in music controls is beyond my skillset, I'm afraid.
This was absolutely amazing. I love Viatica so I knew I’d love Cantata too but the way you used the concept of music, the elements, voices and language blew me away. Something about music and tone being a marginalised group’s legacy is so beautiful to me.

This is so cool, omg, I need more!!
Thank you! More is coming soon!
This is amazing!!! I can't wait to see more!! Let's hope the story gets happier.
Thank you! I can guarantee happiness, much, much happiness, lol. I’m not generally an angsty writer, though admittedly Cantata has a lot of angst planned. But I have as much joy and positivity planned, too!
I loved this!! Chapter one is so heart touching like noo my mom!! Almost started crying because i kinda got attached to her 😭
Thank you! Writing Unda was so bittersweet because I had to make you feel attached to her, but yet I knew what was going to happen. 😭
Oh god You are so Evill for that LOL
FR everytime I read this it does not get easier for Unda to die like that was literally my mom guys😭🙏 wdym she’s dead just like that
im so excited for this! i really enjoyed viatica as well, but fantasy like this is so up my alley. selfishly, i hope this one ends up being longer than viatica :'- ) chapter 1 was so effective, i hope chapter 2 comes swiftly!
