Recommended route order: Composer > Artist > Programmer > CEO > Alexis > Otome

For the best experience, we recommend this order as it preserves the intended narrative flow and reveals.

Renamable protagonist

A game with unique game mechanics:

1. Writing Skill Event (Mini-Game)

-- Pass to unlock routes and progress the story.

-- Fail, and you’ll get different bad endings.

-- Determines your love interest and affects key scenes.

2. Choice Selection

A 100k+ word fictional tale inspired by real-life dev experiences, interviews, and events — with multiple routes and endings that offer hours of replayable content.

Six routes in total. Four romanceable routes (Composer, Artist, Programmer, CEO) and two extra routes (Alexis and Otome)

Multiple Endings where you could replay (19 in total—ranging from bad, normal, and good endings)

English voice acting (Prologue is fully voiced, while the rest of the full game has partial voice acting)

CG Gallery (Over 50+ in total)

A dictionary feature for some technical and gaming words.

⚠️ Linux & Steam Deck Disclaimer

This game is not officially supported on Linux/Steam Deck, as we currently do not have the hardware to properly test or troubleshoot issues. However, some players have reported successful gameplay after adjusting compatibility settings (e.g., using Proton 5.13-6 on Steam Deck).

We recommend trying the demo first to check compatibility. If the demo runs smoothly, the full game should work as well.
