(+2)

FAWN AND BISON... CRASHING OUT..

(+2)

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! 😅🥰

(+1)

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????

(+2)

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!

(+2)

I'm usually turned away by characters described as shameless flirts. ^_^'

(1 edit) (+4)

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 

(+1)

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!

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

(+1)

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. 😁

(+2)

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

(+3)

Same dude. I'm dying for Vicente already lol. 

(+2)

you and me are one in the same, vicente is my favourite type of RO

(+2)

I'm following you.

Why do I feel like you also love enemies to lovers trope and immortal x mortal...

[I REALLY DO]

Enemies to lovers and Immortal X mortal mentioned?! 


i love you 💗

LOVE U TOOOOOO <3

STOP STALKING ME CAUSE YES I ABSOLUTE DO. (im on a vampire x vampire hunter kick rn)

(+1)

GOD I SWEAR I JUST REPLAYED A GAME AND OF COURSE IT WAS A VAMPIRE X VAMPIRE HUNTER!

[shit now I feel like ur stalking meeee]

(+1)

STOPPP VAMPIRE X VAMPIRE HUNTER?! 


chat i think we gotta get married now

(+1)

Thank you so much! I appreciate you following me since Viatica. I’m excited to share this new journey with you, too!

(+1)

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.

(+1)

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!

(+1)

This is so good!! The plot seems great and intriguing, got me immersed in the story fr im invested 😍 Cant wait for the update~

(+1)

Thank you!

(+1)

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!

(-5)

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.

(+1)

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

(+1)

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!

(+1)

I am SO up for waiting!! incredibly excited because chapter 1 was already amazing!! may have cried a little bit already 😭

(+1)

I loved Viatica and while it still has a special place in my heart, I think I’ll love this one more.

(+1)

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!

(+2)

I read
I like
I wait

(+2)

Lol, thank you! The next chapter is nearly done, thank you for waiting! ❤️

(1 edit)

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.

(+2)

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.

(+2)

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

(1 edit) (+2)

Absolutely love what you're doing here. Keep up the good work!

(+1)

Thank you!

(+3)

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!!🤞

💪🏻🫡

(1 edit) (+4)

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

(+4)

Thank you, I’m glad you’re enjoying it! And yes, you will absolutely have the option for vengeance! 😈

(+5)

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).

(+4)

That’s it, I am blessing this post. It is now canon.

I love this! 😆❤️

(+1)

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?

(+1)

Hello, again, Bat! It time skips 5 years; you are 17 for the majority of Chapter 2.

(+2)

Okk thankss! I’ve been wondering for a while just never got around to asking till now XP

(+4)

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!

(+1)

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!

(+1)

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

(+1)

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.

(+4)

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‼️

(+3)

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!

(+2)

This is so cool, omg, I need more!!

(+1)

Thank you! More is coming soon!

(+1)

This is amazing!!! I can't wait to see more!! Let's hope the story gets happier.

(+3)

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!

(+6)

I loved this!! Chapter one is so heart touching like noo my mom!! Almost started crying because i kinda got attached to her 😭

(+4)

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. 😭

(+3)

Oh god You are so Evill for that LOL 

(+2)

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 

(+4)

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!

(+5)

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!

(+5)

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!!

(+4)

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!

(+3)

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

(+1)

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!

(+2)

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 🫶

(+1)

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed Viatica and the start of Cantata. I hope you’ll enjoy the rest!

(+7)

wish i could eat your writing for breakfast lunch and dinner i love it so much

(+2)

Hahaha, thank you! That is quite the compliment. ☺️

(+6)

i tell myself that i should marinate this so that i can enjoy it longer but i just couldn't!! your writing is a banger as always but mannn now i have to wait (lovingly) for the ch 😩🙏 will we meet the ros in the next one? (pls say yes, i love your romances sm)

(+1)

If im remembering correctly we will

(+6)

Aww, thank you! ❤️  And yes, you will meet all the ROs in Chapter 2, though you won’t be able to start any romances yet. You meet them and then your paths diverge. Chapter 3 is where the main story (and romances) really start!

(+2)

Very intriguing first chapter. The music was lovely.

Thank you!

(+1)

I have kind of sensitive touch irc, surprised this is a thing in game! I kind of want more customization tho. Touching people give stupid amount of information compare to just objects. I like feeling texture but skin and muscle, things that move is kind of too much. Good for a healer MC if MC can be a healer? martial arts and healing seems fitting

And Tellus!! no!!! buddy was so close to confess. Let us speak to him too please!

(+1)

Hello, I'm glad you liked the touch-sensitivity aspect! I mentioned that fire-attuned Iredicci are traditionally healers, but I probably should have expanded on that more. So yes, fire-attuned have the ability to heal. It's not like one touch, boom, you're healed. It's more like you speed up the natural healing process. So say someone is critically wounded; you can't automagically heal them, but you can start the process and buy them more time till a doctor or medic arrives.

Hope that clarifies it! I'll include it in the codex going forward. :)

(+1)

yeah I am thinking something like doing x ray scan, feeling bleeding point with the heat senses to do first aid instead of the magic spell kind. or just be a human size warming bag :)

(+2)

Guess i decided to replay this at the right time to see the ROs artworks 


I must say Calliope and Vicente (hoping I spelled their names right- My memory is poopoo (╯︵╰,) ) are. . . in the most respectful way ever. . . Hot as hell (Especially Vicente  in the most respectful " holy skibidi you are HOT"   way) 

You did spell them right! And I couldn't agree more. I have spent hours drooling over the art myself, particularly Vicente. Yum!

(+1)

Having been following you since Viatica, I just wanted to say that your writing style is wonderful. (This comment might be a little bit late from the first day this game lived, but I already read it since the first day this game was on my feed:3). Anyway,I say keep it up:3333

Hi Vitchylia, I remember you! Thank you for returning, and thank you for your kind words!

(+1)

I freakin LOVED Viatica! I can't wait to read more of this story, I'm so excitedddddd

Thank you for being a Viatica fan! More is coming soon!

(+2)

lmao the first time I played through this I was to excited to read All the description and thought Evelyn was the love interest while I played the whole first chapter help😭🙏 Dw I learned from my mistake as I re play this chapter multiple times. On a more serious note, fur baby companion coming up?!

Hahaha, the synopsis is pretty hefty, I can’t fault you for that! 😆 I had originally envisioned Eva as a 5th RO but I really wanted to explore her dynamics as a sibling, so I focused on that.

Yasss, fur baby! In chapter 2 you will have the opportunity to rescue and adopt a fur baby. 😻

How do I mute the music?

(1 edit) (+1)(-1)

There are no in game controls for the music, you can control it with your device.

Edit to clarify, there may be a way to code said game controls, but I’m not savvy enough with Sugarcube yet. 😅

(+2)

i feel you i wore headset and it was too loud, if you play on computer you right-click on tab and select mute site. hope this help you

Hello, back again. I haven't figured out a way to create music controls yet (if there even is one) but I did manage to reduce the volume. Hopefully it's not too terribly loud now. :)

(+1)

Your choice of music is always so good, gods the anxiety I felt when things started to go downhill😭😭😭 

love your writing <3

Thank you so much! ❤️

(+1)

I AM SO EXCITED 

(+2)

Me too!!

(+2)

Thank you both! I’m excited to share this world with you, I’ve got BIG plans!
