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 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)
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!
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!
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. :)
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 :)
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)
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
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. 😻
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. :)
i am back. FIR AND FIREWEED. YET AGAIN, YOU HAVE DONE IT??????? good lord i cannot wait for more of this story, i will eagerly chomp anything you throw my way like a starved dog.
first chapter has me IN SHAMBLES!!!!! poor mc, but whats a little trauma to kickstart character development? 😁😁
ANGEL!!! 👋😁 I am so excited to see you back, my friend! Thank you for sticking with me and giving my new story a try! And you’re exactly right, good stuff for character growth, lol. Plus you can only go up from here!
question about the fire route if you choose the path where you enjoy touch rather then aversion to it will there be more choices of little things like giving more hugs, arm/hand holding, or whatever like little things when its not totally 'necessary' just a choice of our character like that involving touch or any dialogue adressing it in later chapters?:3(+ im soooo excited to meet corinne)
You know, I hadn't thought about giving more options to hug and hold hands, which honestly seems obvious. 🤔😅 I was just planning to describe those moments in more detail. But I can certainly offer that, I love that idea! Thank you!
I’m happy to know you’re excited about Corinne! She and Vicente are my more complex ROs, a lot of lore and backstory there. And I’ve seen her artwork, it’s so friggin awesome! I can’t wait to share! ❤️
Hello again. I tried saving and importing a couple different times and they all worked fine. Not sure why you were having trouble, and I’m afraid I’m not savvy enough with Sugarcube to make a guess.
I tried it again and it worked perfectly fine. I’m really not sure why it wasn’t working last night. It’s not a complicated process and I’ve done it many times haha. Sorry for troubling you.
Also, great start to the story. I look forward to more.
dont think updates have a 'set' release date (or any time Estimates) currently (or at all) especially since this is brand new ^^ (If this isnt what you meant i will dig and crawl inside a hole and fvcking die)
Oh! I didn’t realize that’s what you meant since the first chapter was already out. I was so confused, lol. 😅
My goal is to release updates quarterly, so if I can keep to my schedule, you can expect chapter 2 in April. Thank you for reading and I can’t wait to show you more!
Lol, thank you! There’s plenty more coming, I have BIG plans!
If you haven’t checked it out yet, I also have a finished IF, Viatica. There’s also several amazing IFs I highly recommend on my creator page, if you feel the need to scratch that itch (terrible pun intended). 😆
Erm, like in 2 years?? 😅 I only published chapter 1 four days ago, lol. My goal is to update this quarterly. It’ll be longer between updates than Viatica was, but the chapters will be longer, too.
I’m glad you liked it enough to be asking about a release, though! Thank you!
Only chapter 1 is completed so far. This is a brand new wip for me. More will be coming eventually, I’m currently writing chapter 2 right now! If you’re looking for more to read, may I suggest Viatica? 😎 ::shameless self plug::
My apologies for making you cry, it was necessary! I promise to make you laugh and smile, too. 😁 Thank you so much for being a new follower and taking the time to read both stories!
No, she will not. I actually had envisioned her as an RO at first, but I found I just couldn’t write her well. With the possibility of being a friend, a rival, a love interest and/or a sibling, she became too much of a blank slate, and ended up not being much of anything. I really wanted to explore sibling dynamics with her so I abandoned the idea of an RO and focused on that, and then her personality really took shape for me.
I also found that having 4 ROs was the perfect amount for me. Any more would be too difficult to write.
uhm hello?? can you not make such lovely Games??? i really shouldn't be staying up all night replaying them, thanks♥
ok jokes aside, When i saw this i gasped in excitement 😻
though it (obviously, its a brand new demo) was short i absolutely love it already! (not surprising, Viatica was also absolutely amazing and i loved that too)
i *LOVE* the story and all the characters we see (Absolutely crying over how cute Tellus was. . . How could you do this? complimented how we dug up potatoes? literally anything he did? my heart 😿😿 i don't think i can forgive you on this)
I'm also an emotional reader And the whole scene of MC finding out what happened had me almost crying ALREADY
sorry for the ranting lmao, just have to show how much i love this game- (please ignore any Misspellings or if this doesnt make sense at all, I can only do so much Mistake fixing while running on 3 hours of sleep😽)
absolutely can't wait for more of this amazing and Beautiful game (Though absolutely no rush at all)
Hehe, thank you so much! I appreciate you returning after Viatica! 🫶🏻
I’m honestly surprised at the amount of love I’ve seen for Tellus, but that just means I succeeded in hitting the right tone. I know this first chapter was an emotional one, but there’s plenty of action and humor in store for you, too!
ohhhh i am so so excited!! Viatica is easily my favorite IF and I absolutely love what I've played of this one so far. So so so lovely, cannot wait to play more!
Side note, when I first opened it up the music actually scared the shit outta me for no reason 😭 had my computer volume on high and I js wasnt expecting it💔

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed Viatica and the start of Cantata. I hope you’ll enjoy the rest!
wish i could eat your writing for breakfast lunch and dinner i love it so much
Hahaha, thank you! That is quite the compliment. ☺️

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

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

How do I mute the music?
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. 😅
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. :)
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! ❤️
I AM SO EXCITED
Me too!!
Thank you both! I’m excited to share this world with you, I’ve got BIG plans!
i shall read this again and again each day until i have a new chapter just as fantastic.
Lol, thank you! 😆 My goal is to update this quarterly so I hope to have a new chapter to you in April.
This is amazing, the amount of emotions I went through in just this first chapter is insane. I can't wait to play more of such a promising game
Thank you! I can’t wait to show you more!
i am back. FIR AND FIREWEED. YET AGAIN, YOU HAVE DONE IT??????? good lord i cannot wait for more of this story, i will eagerly chomp anything you throw my way like a starved dog.
first chapter has me IN SHAMBLES!!!!! poor mc, but whats a little trauma to kickstart character development? 😁😁

Ahhh, another IF from one of my favorite creators? I'm so excited to see where this story goes!!
Welcome back, Cosmo! 🫶🏻 I hope you enjoy it!
Not a big deal because I wasn’t far in, but I tried to import my save and it doesn’t seem to work.
I honestly didn’t even test the save function since it was the first chapter. 😂 I’ll check it out, thanks for the heads up!
Hello again. I tried saving and importing a couple different times and they all worked fine. Not sure why you were having trouble, and I’m afraid I’m not savvy enough with Sugarcube to make a guess.

No worries, glad you got it to work!
Yo, first chapter when? Love the music. Would like a place to listen to it! Cant wait to read more!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

Lol, thank you! There’s plenty more coming, I have BIG plans!
If you haven’t checked it out yet, I also have a finished IF, Viatica. There’s also several amazing IFs I highly recommend on my creator page, if you feel the need to scratch that itch (terrible pun intended). 😆
Thanks for the recommendations, I have been reading most of the IFs I can find on this site and haven’t seen a few that are on your page.
You're welcome!
This is so beautiful and makes my heart hurt so much, those poor people.
Thank you!
OH MY GOSHHH I LOVEEE THISS!! Any idea when the full release is?
Erm, like in 2 years?? 😅 I only published chapter 1 four days ago, lol. My goal is to update this quarterly. It’ll be longer between updates than Viatica was, but the chapters will be longer, too.
I’m glad you liked it enough to be asking about a release, though! Thank you!
i will for sure be waiting for every update! its soo good its def worth any wait!<3
Aww, thank you!
you did it again...had me crying in front of my big ass screen like with your previous work.
As always your writing is beautiful, so much that i was immediately immersed! cant wait for chapter 2
Hahaha, sorry to have you crying again, but so glad to see you returning for my second IF! Thank you!
You know what´s good when it makes you cry gettin' in ur feelings😭
Can´t wait for more chaps, I'm so excited! Wish y'all the best of lucks with this game <3
Thank you so much!
This was fantastic! I cannot wait for more!
Ooh, thank you, Fab! I remember you from Dori’s server! Thanks for giving my story a try! ☺️
What to do after playing the demo idk im new to all this anyone help pleasee
Do you mean if theirs anymore of the game to play? 'Cuz if so the demo ends at chapter 2(or one, dont remember)
Only chapter 1 is completed so far. This is a brand new wip for me. More will be coming eventually, I’m currently writing chapter 2 right now! If you’re looking for more to read, may I suggest Viatica? 😎 ::shameless self plug::
Okk thnx
Why why you made me cried emotionally whyyyyyy. i played this before your other creation. I'm your new follower now ❤
My apologies for making you cry, it was necessary! I promise to make you laugh and smile, too. 😁 Thank you so much for being a new follower and taking the time to read both stories!
will evelyn possibly be an ro in the future?
No, she will not. I actually had envisioned her as an RO at first, but I found I just couldn’t write her well. With the possibility of being a friend, a rival, a love interest and/or a sibling, she became too much of a blank slate, and ended up not being much of anything. I really wanted to explore sibling dynamics with her so I abandoned the idea of an RO and focused on that, and then her personality really took shape for me.
I also found that having 4 ROs was the perfect amount for me. Any more would be too difficult to write.
Thanks for asking!
DAMNN this was SO good.
I was honestly disappointed that it ended so fast 😞
Still, I am so EXCITED!!
and thellus is dead too??? awww, didn't he have a little crush on Mc 😭😭 so saddd
He did, the poor dear. 😭
Thank you for reading and for your comment! I can’t wait to share more with you!

Thank you!
After reading Viatica, I KNOW this will be good
Aww, thank you, and thanks for reading Viatica!
10/10
❤️
ohhhh i am so so excited!! Viatica is easily my favorite IF and I absolutely love what I've played of this one so far. So so so lovely, cannot wait to play more!
Oh wow, that’s quite the compliment, thank you! I’m happy to hear you liked Viatica that much. I hope Cantata can keep up! 😆
I already am so IN on the whole concept, the story's already gripped my heart very eager and excited to learn more about this world and its people <3
Thank you, I can’t wait to share more!
So excited to read this, it looks so good!!
Side note, when I first opened it up the music actually scared the shit outta me for no reason 😭 had my computer volume on high and I js wasnt expecting it💔
Hahaha, sorry for the music! Just making sure you’re awake. 😂
THIS IS SO UNIQUE I LOVE IT
THANK U FOR THIS MASTERPIECE
Aww, thank you, too!
