The story, gameplay and constraint were executed perfectly. For 48 hours it is extremely impressive how well the themes and ideas were executed. Credit must be given to the artist as I found myself thoroughly enthralled by the story, thinking at times that instead of playing a game I was instead watching one of my nonna's favourite television dramas. Charmed by Riccardo and excited by the devilish Antonio both fighting for Maria's hand I lost myself in this game, wishing only that YOU INCLUDED THE FACT THAT RIGHT CLICK STOPS THE KNOB TURNING OH MY GOD THERE WAS MUCH SUFFERING TRYING TO COMPLETE THE GAME HOLY MOLY. Regardless, this game is truly a TELENOVELA worth investing yourself in, watching every season too many times over dinner and crying over. 10/10 :D

ooooo, I love this artstyle! Props to your artist! Makes me want to watch the show, if only the TV tuner let me stay on the channel. But it is a good game mechanic. Forces you to keep in tune with the channel while making sure you click on the right response. I got a good laugh when I managed to click on the correct response blindly. If I were to add one thing, freezing the screen in place but keeping the TV tuner mechanic as normal will be a good accessibility feature, so players don’t have to be pressured on a moving screen and just want to enjoy the story - like me.

I’m not sure if the music is original, or sourced.

And finally, as I am writing this, I only just found out you can stop the TV tuner with right click. man…
