You’re thrust into the high-stakes world of late-night gigs, creative clashes, personal grief, and fragile egos. As the band rises in popularity, old wounds threaten to rip them apart—and their ex is ready to strike when they're at their most vulnerable. Can you keep the band together, heal what’s broken, and maybe even find love along the way? ========================================================================================================== 🎮 FEATURES 🎶 Multiple romance routes (Gwen, Dean, Becca, and Roman!) 🥀 Deep character-driven storytelling 🧠 Choice-driven narrative with multiple endings 👀 Navigate drama, sabotage, healing, and fame 💌 Branching romantic and platonic outcomes 📱 Multiple CGs and emotional character moments 🎧 Original soundtrack & ambient effects ========================================================================================================== ❤️ CHARACTERS Gwen (she/her) – Lead singer & guitarist. Sarcastic, intense, and guarded. A fiercely talented musician with a dark, brooding presence, Gwen is the heart and soul of Static Youth. She’s passionate about her craft, but years of betrayal and heartbreak have left her cold and distrustful. Though she hides her emotions behind sarcasm and a tough exterior, glimpses of vulnerability reveal the depth of her pain. Her story revolves around confronting her past and deciding whether to let love back into her life. Dean (he/him) – Keytarist. Gentle, responsible, and quietly struggling. The glue that holds the band together, Dean is kind, patient, and ever the peacemaker. As the one who hired you, he’s deeply invested in both the band’s success and your well-being. Though he projects a calm and nurturing demeanor, Dean struggles with unspoken feelings for Gwen and a tendency to sacrifice his own needs for others. His story is about learning to prioritize himself and embrace change. Becca (she/her) – Drummer. Bright, bubbly, and trying to find her voice. The bright and bubbly optimist of Static Youth, Becca is warm, friendly, and always eager to lift people’s spirits. She’s deeply loyal to her friends and fiercely protective of those she loves. However, her kindness often makes her overlook her own struggles, and she fears that she’s not taken seriously as a musician. Becca’s story focuses on self-worth and proving to herself that she belongs in the industry. Roman (he/him) – Bassist. Loud, loyal, and hiding more than he lets on. A chaotic, loud-mouthed flirt with a devil-may-care attitude, Roman is the band’s wildcard. He thrives on attention and excitement but masks deep insecurities about rejection and abandonment. Beneath his playful persona is a man who longs for real connection but fears getting hurt. His route is about peeling back the layers of his bravado to reveal the person underneath. ========================================================================================================== Read the prologue Webcomic episode here: Sound Check: Prologue ========================================================================================================== 🕹 SYSTEMS & CREDITS Platform: Windows, macOS Sound FX: Youtube (record scratch, door slam, shop bell) Background Music: @indoyadii, Pixabay Art, Writing, Programming: Me!
