This is the story of Laura. A beautiful 26 year old Italian woman in a relationship with Mario. She knows what she wants and acts accordingly. Her next step in life is to buy a house in her home town and open her own shop. But money doesn't just fall from the sky. Especially in this rather poor part of the country. It's her partner who will push her into an adventure that will take her to a world she doesn't know. A world unlike her own, where money seems easier to come by, especially if you're young and beautiful. But it's also full of danger.

The story so far...
Episode 1
Laura and Mario are a couple of street vendors selling fruit and vegetables. They've been together for eight years, travelling the markets around Bria, a small town in Puglia. Laura would now like to set up her own shop in the town. After a bit of research, they found the right building, available as a life annuity. But the building is beautiful and well placed, so it's expensive, and they don't have the necessary start-up funds. Mario hears about a game show that could earn them enough money to get a loan from the banks. The game is a competition organised by Canale 6, in which one contestant stands to win €50,000 and a role in a TV series. The series will feature a star who has just taken a two-year break from acting and is making a comeback. The winning candidate will play the role of his wife, but her identity will be kept secret until the competition is launched. Laura was initially less than enthusiastic, but a meeting with the owner and a helping hand from the town mayor persuaded her to accept. After a casting session in Naples, her application was accepted. She spent a week with 19 other candidates in an undisclosed location, filming two programmes.
Episode 2
Episode 1 ended with an unpleasant surprise for Mario: the star is Vincenzo Ecosibelo, a handsome heartthrob whom he hates. Because of his past and accusations of domestic violence, Laura isn't too keen on Vincenzo either. She had been a fan of his in the early days. During the week, however, and after filming a scene for the competition, she gets to know him a little better and gradually revises her judgement. Vincenzo seems to have been the target of a tabloid press hungry for scandal, and was completely exonerated at his trial, but no one ever knew: that was during his retirement from public life. What's more, he's friendly and personable, and although he's always a target for female candidates, he's neither flirtatious nor arrogant. In the second show, four candidates were selected for the final. Laura finished first!
Episode 3
Laura caused a stir during the show by preparing and using hilarious fruit figurines. She created a buzz, and every child in Italy wants to make one! Vincenzo, who is no dummy, had a nose for it from the start and secretly asked Laura if she would be willing to take part in an advertising campaign. At 5,000 a day, it was hard to refuse. But what will Mario say? Seeing Laura spend more and more time with this Vincenzo, bothers him a little. But he's also thinking about the building and the money... He agrees to let her go to Rome for a photo shoot with Vincenzo. It's a chance for her to start discovering a different world from that of the markets: a luxury hotel, the world of advertising... And all this with Vincenzo, who is as charming as ever.
Episode 4
We are not, we become! Life is a path that we travel, no one stands still. Whether she likes it or not, the trip to Rome has left its mark on Laura. And as you're always on your own, it's up to her to deal with it. The four winners have to prepare for the final, which will decide the winner. To do this, they have to shoot a few scenes in their home town, which will be assessed by the professional jury and the public during the final show. The film crew arrives in Bria, greeted by the mayor and a surprising assistant: Gloria, the owner of the building! It's the first meeting between Vincenzo and Mario... Given what's at stake, Mario is clever enough to hide his enmity. And so much the better! After lunch and the filming of a tourist clip, the main reason for the mayor's involvement in the project, Laura and Vincenzo shoot the first of three real scenes. It ends with a kiss. How will Laura negotiate this?
Episode 5
By the end of episode 4, Laura had already had to decide whether to fake the kisses, so as not to shock Mario, or accept that they were real, in order to shoot credible scenes and compete on equal terms with the other contestants. On the second day of filming, one romantic scene follows another, and Vincenzo's charm doesn't make Laura's task any easier, as she rediscovers her emotions as an ex-fan. Two events complicate the situation: a revelation about the behaviour of Sofia, her most serious competitor, and some childishness on the part of Mario, who finds it hard to bear the promiscuity and connivance between Laura and Vincenzo. Laura has to make choices. And her choices are crucial to the rest of the story. There are four possible routes to take. They correspond to the combinations of Laura's successive choices. Did she accept the real kisses? Did she rebel against Mario, who objected to too much closeness between her and the handsome Vincenzo? From episode 6 onwards, there will be four stories and four different outcomes.

Let's this week-end. I spent some times to migrate from Mac OS to Windows environment; it slowed down thing a bit, even if render time decreased a lot!
Hi, Four days ago I sent you an email about this. Today, I manually removed your second failed attempt and reset your first subscription to "pending". Let me know if that fixed the issue. Kind regards.
Hey man is there any way to pay you without paypal or stripe? Actually i wanted to buy a basic subscribtion of the 2 euros...I want to pay via with visa prepaid card in USD...is there any way? Since I live in Bangladesh we don't have access to paypal or stripe.
Hi. I'm really sorry but I can't do anything about it. Like you, I'm dependent on the availability of payment services from the major operators. Bangladesh, like other countries, is not covered. India also poses a problem, and it's costing me, because a good proportion of the users of this site are Indian.
hey pls add some different payment method im justing seeing the news tags monthly cant able to play u have no idea how much i wanted to play this game if possible email me a private link of payment or something i know it costs too much for u to add a another payment gateway but it will bring u more subscriptions so pls im requesting try something huge fan of ur games...
Hey, found your game a few days ago and have greatly enjoyed it so far. Really like that you are doing it in a more slow burn style. I think you've done a great job slowly building the relationship between Laura and Vincenzo. I also think you have handeld it very well with
Hey thanks for the answer! Its a bit weird half my comment was swallowed by the void. I'll just paste my comment as to continue the original one.
... I also think you have handeld it very well with introducing Laura to a more luxurious and glamorous life style and I think your doing a great job with easing her into her new role and giving her time to enjoy those new opportunities. I was wondering if you have thought about introducing Laura to drug consumption down the line in the context of her night life and stardom. I could imagine it could give a interesting development regarding her budding new interests and opportunities. However you decide to take the story onward I'll look forward to your future updates and keep up the great work!
(Hmm weird the rest of my comment didn't register. I'll just contiunue on to finish it.)
... I also think you have handeld it very well with introducing Laura to a more luxurious and glamorous life style and I think your doing a great job with easing her into her new role and giving her time to enjoy those new opportunities. I was wondering if you have thought about introducing Laura to drug consumption down the line in the context of her night life and stardome. I could imagine it could give a interesting development regarding her budding new interests and opportunities.
I've already discreetly introduced MDMA into another game (Think Twice). It pushed a woman (MILF) to go beyond what she had planned to do with a young university student... As for AWAS. I've considered the subject, but I want to combine it with scenarios where Laura starts to lead a more dissolute life; and that has to be done intelligently. Among the possible scenarios, there's route 4 where Laura considers lesbian relationships that she'd never thought of before. She could also find herself dumped by Vincenzo in route 1 and find it hard to bear... I've got some general guidelines for each route, but nothing is set in stone. I've got some leeway...
I think that would generally make a lot of sense narrative wise. Perhaps one thing I might add, if you plan to fork the route that way, it might not be a bad idea to introduce drug consumption once or twice to Laura prior to forking the route, that way Laura would be lightly aquainted with the subject and have some positive memories of associated with it, after her possible breakup with Vincenzo it could be written without many logical leaps that she abuses substances post break up. Whatever you come up with it'll be certainly better than whatever I cook up on the fly.
Perhaps one followup question then since you have sort of raised it in your answer. Are you concidering branching the different routs further, if so may I ask how many route versions are you roughly thinking about, 2-3? I'm just asking cause I'd imagine that it must add alot of extra writing and coding work to keep the different paths as coherent wholes.
Regarding the routes, I won't add too many possible endings, it's too much work. So on route 1, the romance with Vincenzo may end happily or not. For the rest I don't know yet.
Yes ofcourse that has to be done well and mesh well with the general character development. Anyhow you've done great so far I'm sure you'll continue to deliver great pacing and writing. Keep up the great work!
I'm slightly confused. I downloaded the most recent version (0.070a) and this version seems to end very soon after the results of the game show (in my playthrough, she loses and says no to Vicenzo). Is it supposed to be like this, or is there more game I am missing out on?
To this day, the game is developed up to episode 7 - route 1 (0.070a). In a day or two, I'll be publishing route 2 (0.071a), with some corrections (typos & small bugs) already made for route 1. In a week's time, route 3, etc.
I understand, thanks for the clarification. I just thought there was more to episode 6 that I was somehow missing, I didn't realise the route I was on (route 4) ends right after the game show results. I look forward to the rest of episode 7.
Hello, I tried to download latest version. I used my username and password for this website and it did not work. I subscribed today- received a confirmation email showing subscription ID and transaction ID. How do I gain access to Windows downloads? Thx.
Hi. Access after a subscription may sometimes takes some time because it's a manual process. You received an email from me about 30' ago. You now have full access.
hey paypal is not accepting my cards and stripe is not available in india i can't subscribe so please give me access i will pay you private via upi or something just dm me in telegram or add different payment option like google pay pls i know it costs more money to add a payment platform but i can pay you individualy or any other way also if u add google pay u may get many subscriptions
Is PayPal allowed in India? Yes, you can make an account and use PayPal in India BUT PayPal can only be used to make or receive international transactions, as they have announced that they stopped domestic transactions in India. So if you are Freelancer or you are using a website that pays you from outside of India you can use your PayPal.(12 févr. 2024)
Not sure to understand your comment. The episode 5 didn't end at a party! As for the sixth, there are 4 routes. The first release (0.060a) included one route, the second (0.061a) two routes, and so on. Indeed they all end in a party, but not the same way. Could you explain what's puzzling you?
OK. No problem. Having finished all episode 6 routes, I'm now working on episode 7. Expect route 1 (0.070a) in about 4 weeks, then other routes. I'll try to give more previews during that development phase.

Hi John. The answer is 'yes'. I'm working hard on it to release it by the end of the week. At least one of the 4 routes. I'll write a news today about it.

payment through paypal is not going through! Isn't there any other payment option? You need to set up patreon like system so that we can pay easily.
hey is 0.050b out or not im gonna subscribe now and i have a doubt that if i subscribe i have access to download page for one month only ? and what is the changelog for 0.050b ?
Release 0.050b was intended for the Android version only. It fixed a bug that was disrupting use of the Quick Menu. As it didn't eat my bread I've just recompiled a release 0.050b for PC, Linux and Mac; but it doesn't change anything at all for these versions. Apart from any other bugs to be discovered, spelling or typos, nothing will change in the history of version 0.050. You'll just see '0.050c' and so on. Future versions will be available in 0.061, 0.062, 0.063 or 0.064 depending on the route chosen. Players will of course be informed of the route they are on thanks to an indication in the 'Laura' section of the 'GameStats' bar. As far as your subscription is concerned, I can confirm that it is indeed monthly. As long as you renew it, you'll have access to all the games; it will then be suspended.
Hi. I didn't change anything. Did you use the right one? Remember, there are 2 separate accesses, one for the site, and a different one for subscribers.
Hey bro can you add a payment platform in Bkash? Since in Bangladesh PayPal is not available and I don't have any cards...So if you can Add Bkash/Rocket/Nagad any payment platform for the premium user subscription it will be really helpful for me.
Bro in our country there are multiple pages who sell games on steam and epic games platform and they get payment in BDT Tk from bkash and add the game to our account, that's how we buy games in our country those who don't possess their own credit/debit cards. So if it is possible, then kindly add Bkash payment system.It is a good mobile banking system and really famous in our country, Bangladesh. So if you add it maybe you can get your subscription from Bangladesh also. My request to you please give it a thought.
You know, I have to pay for about each payment system I add, and adding one just for your country would cost me 10 times the amount I'd get from subscriptions. Mathematics is cynical, sometimes... You could say: "Just gimme that bloody game, what does it cost you after all?". Well, I did it once. And I found the file shared two hours later. People are cynical sometimes. So just be patient, I'll try to release free short stories from time to time... I have one in stock.
