Hello! I’m Chattercap!
Hello! I’m Chattercap, a solo female game dev making animated romance visual novels with a twist! All of my games come with at least one plot twist, guaranteed 🫡
⬇️ You can find more info down below! ⬇️
the problem with visual novels is that they are novels, but they are almost exclusively sold on video game distribution platforms, which means that they're novels being read by gamers who are by and large entirely unequipped to critique that medium
Honestly this is interesting, and it’s something that I’ve thought about a lot 🤔 I do wonder if I should make my VN writing simpler and more dialogue-heavy to be more accessible to audiences that aren’t necessarily used to reading heavy amounts of text. At the same time, I have gotten quite a lot of players who say they enjoy my writing style, and I like to think that playing VNs is a good way to keep the love of reading alive with people who don’t generally vibe with traditional books 🤔

Monthly Update (May 2026)
Hello everyone,
Happy May!
This month really flew past (and last month too)… I kept chipping away at the ol’ to-do list, only for it to constantly refill… like a cornucopia of never-ending work… 😭 (and my car broke… and I sprained my back…) That said, I got a lot of things done these past two months!

YOU!
YOU made ME fall for not One but TWO(!) blonde men. AND one of them is mean. Like okay Regina George, sorry that I exist, now marry me or something?? Why would you do this to me? I've been nothing but kind to you (aside from the fact that I'm a stranger and we've never even interacted)
But I genuinely love Morgan and Geist so much.
I love you too, thanks for your hard work
I CHOKED READING THIS COMMENT
I’m so sorry, please forgive me 😔 😔 😔
I’ll tell you a secret - I’m not a huge fan of blond men either… as for how I ended up making two games featuring blond men, I have no idea, I blinked and somehow they ended up on my computer 😟 maybe it was ghosts???
Rest assured that my next games will be blissfully blond-men free 😔 (except the one where you play as a blond man)
(More seriously I’m so glad you enjoyed both 😂😂😂 Honestly I didn’t even notice both Morgan and Geist were blond until people pointed it out to me, they’re almost polar opposites in my mind 😂 Thanks for the hilarious comment!!!)
