Hi, I've been following the progress of this IF for a while now and I want to just say how truly beautiful this setting and storyline is! The characters are so well developed and seem so relatable, and even the background characters have such intricate upbringings that make them feel unique. Cantata is so well written and the hard work you put into it is evident. Take care of yourself and thank you for putting such an amazing IF out on this platform!❤️❤️❤️

(+2)

Do you plan on selling the game when it's finished? Viatica included at some point?

Asking because you're one of the few out there that's actually finished a game and I want to support you for that. The games being good as well is a nice bonus.

Steam release potentially?

I'm aware theres patreon and the like but that always feels like throwing money in a hole to me, especially after the creator goes dark. I know your games are free at the moment but I like adding the ones I enjoy to my collection.

Thanks for the games~

(+2)

Not the creator but IIRC, they (the creator) said they'll keep their games free

(1 edit) (+3)

I appreciate the ask and that you’d like to support me. ❤️

Viatica was a labor of love and will always be free. I will monetize Cantata eventually, probably putting the final version on Steam. Though we’re still a couple years away from completion.

Honestly the best way to support me right now is Patreon or Kofi. If you don’t want to do a monthly subscription, Kofi offers the one-time tip option. ☺️

I replayed with different ROs, and my favourite so far? CORINNE!!!!

i can't wait for chapter seven! I'd guess the RO is the one who catches us, and I can't wait for it, especially to be in Corinne's arms 😍

(+1)

Yay!! A Corinne fan! ❤️ 

The one who caught you is the RO you did the bath scene with. 🤭 If you chose the platonic route, there’ll be a choice in the beginning of chapter 7.

YIPPEEEEEEEEEE

i love corinne so much i took out my drawing tablet to try and draw her <33

(+1)

This is incredible! The concept of song based music is one I love, and the characters are all so incredible and well-designed. I really appreciate having the option for an aromantic experience even in an IF setting, I feel like I'm still able to build a bond with characters. I really appreciate it <3

Thank you for the kind words, I’m glad you’re enjoying it! ❤️

I just finished chapter 6 andd holy shit, I'm so in love with this work that I created an account just to say so! I wish you the best of health and luck on your surgery! Can't wait to experience the oncoming chapters♡ Also being Turkish, it was a big whiplash to see a Turkish character in a foreign game haha but sorry Bayram, I'm only interested in Vicente

Thank you for taking the time to create an account and let me know! ☺️ I’m glad you liked the bits of Turkish, you have a lovely language!

(+1)

is kip's corner a reference to God-Cursed?

YES IT IS !!! :D

(+3)

I'm obsessed with this story. I've played it three times through just today, and it's so fucking beautiful. The world building, the CHARACTERS, and oh my god I admire how flawlessly you incorporate character choices into the writing. It really feels like every story I've played has been different. This is a stunning IF.

(+1)

Thank you, that’s wonderful to hear!

(+1)

I finished reading Cantata and absolutely fell in love with your writing style. The characters and narrative really stayed with me, and I'm so excited to the next chapters. I'm Brazilian, and while reading I kept thinking how much I'd love for more Portuguese-speaking players to experience it. If you'd ever be interested in a Brazilian Portuguese translation, I'd be happy to help.

Not at this time, but thank you for the offer. 😊

❤️❤️

I NEED MORE! PLEASE ! I SCREAMED AT THE END AND HOLY SPIRITS THE REFERENCE TO GOD-CURSED??? PEAK REFERENCE

Absolutely in love with this masterpiece. Read it all in two days. I just couldn't stop. So excited for the next chapter aaaaah

❤️

I just wanted to comment to say; when i was given the choice to wear a dress and then had the option to still identify masculine, i couldnt help but grin bcus i was so happy that its finally not a game where dress = girl and pants = boy in character customization

a big thanks as a transman who likes to still wear feminine things!! :3

Aww, you are most welcome! ❤️

(+3)

spoilers for chapter 6!!!

i recently stumbled on cantata after rereading another IF (wayfarer) and tried this out on a whim and binged it all in 2 days! i'm genuinely so in love with this story and even more in love with your characters and worldbuilding!! you describe each character so thoughtfully and i'm on the edge of my seat every chapter! when i was done with the bathtub scene i literally rushed to my tablet to draw it out because i love the emotional depth and restraint you've given to corinne (my beloved). i understand you had surgery recently so i hope you are doing well and wishing you a speedy recovery! absolutely no rush to write, please get rest! <3

(+1)

Oh wow, your art is gorgeous! Do you have tumblr? I’d love to share it there.

Thank you for giving my story a chance and for the kind words! ❤️

This story is simply BREATH TAKING. I'm on CH. 5 right now and my GOD, I simply can't get enough. Thank you so much for this terrific tale that tells of it's twists and turns. I've loved stepping into the shoes of my little Astrum and you've inspired me so much as a DM and Writer!


Also...


AHHHHHH CALLIOPE MY BELOVED, I LOVE HER SO MUCH SHE'S SO CUUUUUUUUTE!!!!!!!

Thank you for the wonderful compliment! To inspire another is truly the best I could achieve. 😁 Also, yay to fellow DnD fan! 👊

(+1)

Ofc!! Hope your recovery is going well, and I simply can't wait for the next chapter! Rest well!!!

(+1)

It’s going well other than my inability to type, hahaha! I just read my original reply. That’s what replying while on meds gets you. 🥴

(+1)

LOL, all good. Getting started on Viatica right now. Got some high hopes, and so far they're being exceeded.

(+1)

This was amazing and I plan to replay this half a million times. Words can not describe how in love I am with this story

(+1)

Thank you! 💕

(+2)

I can't wait for the next chapter!

(+1)

Finally all caught up and I cannot count the number of times this story has made me cry but it's all so worth it.  I cannot say enough positive things about this story and your writin, and I am excited for more!

Thank you, Fab! 🫶🏻

(+2)

Absolutely monumental. Binged this story during a couple late nights, and I'm so impressed with the writing and worldbuilding. Characters are full of life and everything's so descriptive. I read your update--know your health is much more important, but any wait will definitely be worth it! One of my fav fantasy narratives to date, and I will be exploring Viatica in the meantime 🫶

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy Viatica too! 😁

(+2)

I just finished chapter 6, and I have to say, this was absolute peak. It was incredible. I felt so excited the entire time I was reading it. I'm already looking forward to the next chapter 😭😭🙏

Thank you!

(+3)

(+1)

(+6)

Vicente is going to have some big feelings about the whole pretending to be deaf thing, isn't he? I fear what the future holds...

(+2)

hello dear dev i am in love with this game and in love with you (/p ofc) this is so well thought out and engaging!! usually i know who im romancing from the start in games like these, but im STILL having genuine doubts about who to pursue for the lock in! all the characters are so well rounded and beautiful, plus the cliffhanger is crazy i love fainting in the arms of my friends. thank you!!!!

You are most welcome! Thank you for this lovely comment!

(+1)

I'm not one to comment on games since english is not my 1st language, but I just had to compliment this work, bloody hell!! Loved evey minute of it!! 

I just finished chapter 6 playing a fire attuned, and the effort put in the writing is amazing!! Very excited for the next update and I'm definetly checking Viatica while waiting for it!! Good luck on your surgery and have a nice recovery too <3

(+1)

Thank you for taking the time to write this kind comment, I appreciate it! I hope you enjoy Viatica, too!

(+1)

(+1)

Thank you for releasing chapter 6!!! I hope everything goes well for you in your surgery.


Now, WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT SCENE WITH TELLUS IS NOT A LOCK IN???!!! IN WHAT WORLD???? TELLUS MY BELOVEEED NEXT CHAPTER IM COMING FOR YOU!!

I knew having earth affinity was going to get a lot cooler!!! Man than ending is bomb! I NEED THE NEXT CHAPTER RAAAAAGHHH 😭

You’re welcome! Lol, it wasn’t the lock in but it WAS a significant choice. It’ll affect certain things next chapter. Your choices matter. 😉

(+3)

LOVE LOVE LOVE THE CH.6 UPDATE OMIGODS! Vicente still has me by the throat of course (but tell me something I didn't expect to happen). And that CLIFFHANGER?! YEEEESSSS I LIVE FOR IT! You have left me frothing at the mouth for the next chapter. I need to know how the others react to what happened!!!

Also, I absolutely adored the cameo of God-Cursed's Kip and Dov <3 I could definitely picture them running an inn haha

Thank you so much!

(+3)

as always, looove the music!! 

I'm not gonna lie, as much as I adore the lantern shield, I lowkey used to think the Earth attunement was kind of mid compared to Air and Fire. Not anymore lmao 






feeling like Magneto up in here

(+1)

Magneto 🤣

I’ve heard similar thoughts about the water attunement. I’m glad to finally have the opportunity to showcase the attunements and all that they’re capable of! 💪🏻

(+2)

Just read the entire 6 chapters in one sitting! Amazing writing and tension, I'm so hyped for the next chapter!!

Thank you!

(1 edit) (+2)

Omg this is the best and amazing thing I've ever witnessed and read! Seriously I got hooked immediately from the start and I couldn't keep my eyes and mind off it! I started it two days ago and just finished it just now! The cliffhanger?? My god, I can't leave another day without knowing whats gonna happen next gaaahhhh >:[

I also LOVEEEEEEE the characters so so so much <3 I also felt so close and connected with the Sideris family. Everything in this IFs is so well written and is so amazing I'm so obsessed. I'm so glad I had found this :))

I truly love this so dearly and it's my favorite! I just can't wait for more! :3


(Also I can't choose between Tellus and Bayram argggg! (//>~<//) But honestly if I had to truly choose who to romance in the end or who I'm likely to, I would choose Bayram. He had certainly charmed my heart and I can't stop thinking about him. That man seriously have me in a choke hold urgg (//>_<//))

Aww, thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad you found it and gave it a chance! ☺️

(+2)

i just played the whole thing in one go today. i love the writing. the music adds so much to the experience too. amazing work!!

Thank you!

I noticed on a new playthrough that Eva says “That’s what sisters do" to a non-binary mc in the nightmare scene.

Also this chapter was awesome!

(+4)

Eva is your sister. She’s talking about herself in that line.

(+2)

that makes so much more sense lmao. Thank you!

Hello , on the December 2025 your interactive fiction was the first one i read  when I discovered it and hyperfixated on it  and I finished your other work and I wanted you to know take all the time you to recover because your writing would be well worth the wait


Ps . Spoiler

Tellus had me clenching my chest and Bayram  got me kicking my feet . I romance them in different playthroughs cause I found out my flirting had consequences..who knew

Thank you so much!
