About Talents

Play as an aspiring game writer and designer who dives into a business partnership with a rowdy crew of talented co-founders, aiming to conquer the indie game development industry through their shared stories, love, and relentless determination. Will you write your way to the top? Play as Alice (Renamable), the main character of our game.
And meet your team/love interests!

Before you start

Recommended route order: Composer > Artist > Programmer > CEO > Alexis > OtomeFor 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            -- Your choices change events, scenes, and the type of ending you’ll get.
  • 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.
  • Steam and In-game Achievements (However, only Steam has a dedicated list. You can also  see your progress on the Endings feature.)
  • Music Room
  • Bonus Content
  • More features are available for the player to discover.

⚠️ 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.

The game wasn't good. Pacing issues and art inconsistencies.

You can tell effort was put into this game. It is a true otome and having several paths and different endings is nice. Just like many other games in the genre, there are some cringe moments that pop up (for example, some of the dialogue, jokes and even the constant grinder/cheater dialogue in the composer route got old a bit fast). I played the demo months ago and did know what to expect and didn't see too-too much change in the prologue portion but appreciated all the different routes/endings. I wish the routes were a bit longer (greedy) but it is exciting the game is fully out and I will always support solo/small team devs.

I really enjoyed this game so far. I can easily see my own personality in the lead character and love the ways she interacts with the guys. Having a rivalry with another dev team that has its own cast of interesting characters made me feel well vested in the story. I really want to see how this game will come to an end and am not sure if im more focused on making the game of my dreams or getting to know any of the guys better more. I was brought in by the demo, and loved it so much that I made sure to back it on Kickstarter. I'm pleased with the final project, and cant wait to play it even more.
