If given the option, which guys would prefer to propose vs be proposed to? Also, hypothetical dream proposals.....?

Dividing this into 2 parts because a Discord member coincidentally made these amazing memes.

Pt 1. propose vs be proposed to

Pt 2. dream proposals

Daeho: Perhaps on the beach where, out of nowhere, Zen and Milky come out in tuxes and one of them is carrying a ring case in his mouth. Daeho takes it out and presents the ring on one knee.

Oliver: Rents out a cabin with a beautiful view of the lake to take you on a trip. There, he'll decorate the inside of the cabin with fairy lights and flowers with the words "Marry me?" on display. Then end it with a dance to his and your song.

Roman: Something casual and private; he's not into grand, public proposals. Maybe he'll just slip the ring on your finger when you're sleeping, and after waking up to find the both of you wearing rings, he asks the question.

Joseph: Possibly a house proposal. flower petals on the floor to guide you where he's standing. Electric candles in the soft darkness to make things more intimate. His daughter holds your hand and leads you to Joseph where he gets on one knee, makes a speech, and proposes.

Ivan: He's got this whole date planned while nervous af before the proposal. He'd either take you to the aquarium or gardens, bring you to a beautiful display, and get on his knee to propose. After that, a fine dining experience for dinner.

Cupid: One random day, he gives a speech on how much he loves you and how your love saved him, starts sobbing, falls to both knees and presents the ring.

oh and also, id like to know how the boys (including cupid.. again…. justice for cupid) would react to the mc making them in tomodachi life!!! and their miis falling in love, lol ◝(ᵔᵕᵔ)◜ tysm!!!

Daeho: "The details are amazing... You even got my tiger tooth! Wait, who am I in love with? I guess it can't be helped... but I'd much rather it be with your mii."

Oliver: "I'm so cute! Just don't make my mii fall in love with Roman...>:("

Roman: "You got my mole 2 spaces lower than it really is. Remake me. Then romance me with Joseph so it annoys him."

Joseph: "I do not look like that. You exaggerated me, my eyes are not that big. And Joseph mii needs better standards in other miis."

Ivan: "It's my son! Look at him fall in love, he'd make an upstanding husband and father. They grow up so fast."

Cupid: "Hehe so that's how you see me? You took such careful steps in making me adorable. But I don't wanna fall in love with anyone else but you!"

Can you fix him? Play our game WebConfessional to try (or not)!

I tried pixel art, but I'm not very good at this.

（All characters by @atelieronthemoon ）

[atelieronthemoon]

Your pixel art is so cute!!! ❤️

[atelieronthemoon]

How would the cast respond to receiving a sleep text from mc? From an unhinged one like "soon" or "they will get you" to random gibberish or sentences

The LIs would text back/react with the following:

Daeho: "babe?? you okay???" Proceeds to call MC in concern.

Oliver: "who is this and what have u done to my boo?! u better not have harmed them cuz i know a guy!!" (that guy being Roman)

Roman: "They got me." Then responds in random gibberish too so it looks like aliens kidnapped him or something 😭

Joseph: Ignores it until he receives an actual coherent text.

Ivan: Somehow able to decipher the gibberish as he's well-read in typos. He'd also figure out these are sleepy texts and send back a "Good night, sunshine :)"

[atelieronthemoon]

When does Jospeh realize that he's starting to fall in love with the MC? Is it like a subtle shift in his behavior? When will he start looking forward to talking to the mc? I love this man so much, but he acts like we're such an inconvenience to him, lmao. Also, will we ever meet his daughter over a the chat? She sounds so adorable! ☺️

His cold demeanour will show little cracks until it all melts away, so yes subtle shifts to his behaviour and speech. After that, he becomes a lost cause: he can't stop thinking about them and yearns. It's a gradual desensitization of MC basically 😭

You'll found out the rest in the full game ;)

Mid-Year Update

Hello, it's been a while. We've been rather quiet, locking in and working on the game, stuck in the dev mines.

As we're midway through 2026 already, which is crazy to think about, it's time for an update from us.

We're excited to announce that all assets are done. Art, writing, editing, voice lines. All of it is completed!

If we were to put a percentage on our overall development, it'd probably be at 75%. Only programming and scripting are left 🎉 We're cheering on our programmers as they bring us to the finish line!

What's next afterwards?

We'll be testing and fixing bugs before moving on to early access for several of our Kickstarter backers.

After more testing and quality checking to ensure a confident launch, you'll hear from us again announcing the release date for the full game (omg) 🙉

At this pace, we're pretty much on track for a Q3 release so we'll see you then! Unless something happens.

The boys are coming back to the chatroom soon!!

But if you'd like to take an early glimpse of them, we have fully voiced beta builds of Days 1-4 over at our Patreon ❤️

[atelieronthemoon]

How much will the game cost?

Answered here!

[atelieronthemoon]

In the dialogue with Oliver on the third day, he reminisces about his school years and even wonders whether he and MC would have been friends back then. Also, there's art on your blog of a young Roman! I remember it!

What were all the characters like in their school days in general?

Omg anon, you remember... 🥺❤️

The LIs in their school days

Daeho: Lively and bright yet gullible, Daeho got along with his peers. He was someone you could depend on—for both companionship and objects as he would lend his friends his stuff whenever they asked. Quite the people pleaser.

It might come as a surprise since he's suffering in grad school rn, but he was rather smart, achieving high B's and some A's.

Oliver: Outgoing and charming, Oliver was the popular boy in school who had many admirers. People wanted to be friends with him and he wanted to be friends with everyone. He focused mostly on the social aspect of school—clubs, events, prom—letting his grades fall to average C's.

Roman: Gave zero f's about school because he believed his future was messed up anyways, so what was the point? He didn't try, either failed his tests or barely passed by just guessing, and skipped a lot. Eventually he dropped out of high school.

Joseph: Studious and reserved, Joseph mostly kept to himself and his studies. Although due to his good looks, he was famed as the mysterious and untouchable boy who was the subject of secret crushes. Later labeled as a heartbreaker due to his multiple cold rejections.

Ivan: Frigid and quick tempered with a touch of low self-esteem, he had difficulty getting along with the other students, only maintaining short friendships during the span of his adolescence. But he was his sisters' protector, scaring off their bullies or boys who made them cry!

[atelieronthemoon]

HAII, i’m not really here to ask a question, i just wanted to say how much i love the game !!! i absolutely adore all the details it has, and i really love all of the characters soo muchh. You can really tell how much work, love, and effort all of you put into the game. I'm super excited for the full game 🤍🤍 btww, Joseph is so beautiful,, i love him 😞

HEHEHE THANK YOU

Here's a cat smooch from us!!!

P.S Joseph thinks you're exaggerating, but honestly he's just shy about the compliment 😉

[atelieronthemoon]

What would the LI have as their phone wallpaper? :]

Daeho: Zen wearing glasses and Milky stealing his brother's tie.

Oliver: Himself from a suit and tie photoshoot.

Roman: Blurry close up of a cat :3'ing at the camera.

Joseph: His daughter's shadow making silly poses on the ground while his own shadow is ramrod straight.

Ivan: Him and his sisters in front of a backdrop of a purple and orange sunset, taken from a siblings' trip.

[atelieronthemoon]

what lingerie, if any, would the LI's wear?

Dear anon,

There's actually a lingerie doc for the LIs written by our lovely writer. It's one of our treasures hidden in our Discord server.

You may find it there ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

[atelieronthemoon]

Have you guys started on the Cupid route? Will we be able to expect that in 2027 maybe

(no pressure though, I know writing is a lot of work)

We hope so! One person (hi, it's me) is writing, making the art, and editing the audio so it'll take time for everything to come together. But the writing has started yippee!

At the very least we have the full game to look forward to 🥹

[atelieronthemoon]

Dear Devs,

I hope you’re all doing well! It’s so inspiring to see the passion you’ve put into your work.

(*´꒳`*)♡

And… My body is ready to find love!

＼＼\٩(๑`^´๑)۶//／／I’m already loving the dynamic between the LIs. I can’t wait to see the upcoming chaos their blooming friendship.

Speaking of friendship, let’s say that we drag invite all the LIs to karaoke and they have to sing at least one song. Which song(s) would they choose?

Hehe, thank you anon ･｡ᐠ( ᐢ ᵕ ᐢ )ᐟ｡･ And Cupid would be so glad to hear that you're ready to find love ٩(^ᗜ^ )و´-

There are 5 routes of chaos blooming friendship, so there will be lots to see!

As for the question...

The LIs' Karaoke Songs

Daeho: The iconic Gee by Girls' Generation

Oliver: Moves Like Jagger - Maroon 5

Roman: Bring Me To Life - Evanescence

Joseph: would be forced to sing Everytime We Touch by CASCADA by the guys

Ivan: Full Speed High from Epic the musical, featuring vocals from the other LIs

Hi! („• ᴗ •„)

I'll be brave and show myself without anonymity (⌒▽⌒)

I'm curious - how do you feel about creative works like fanfiction?

As far as I know, there are a couple of fan works featuring Joseph on AO3. I'm not sure about other platforms where fanfics might be posted, heh ':D

And how do you feel about fan-made alternate universes based on your games/fandom - for example, ones set in the Cupid's Chatroom universe?

Would love it if you answered these questions!💕✨️

We LOVE seeing fan works, fanfics included!!! Our fans are feeding the community whilst us devs are stuck in the dev mines 😭🙏

AUs based on Cupid's Chatroom sound really cool, we'd be super excited to read them! 🥹

[atelieronthemoon]

HIIIII I'm so glad the ask box is open again, I love reading these!

I wanted to know how the characters would react to MC getting a minor injury or getting one themselves? Like a cut while cooking or tripping and scraping their knee? Who's dramatic af

Daeho: If MC got injured, he'd rush over in a panic and overreact by suggesting they go to a hospital. If he's the one who got injured, his fears and trauma come back...

Oliver: Would act like MC is dying, doesn't know what to do, panics and pleads MC not to die. If he's the one injured, he panics and cries from the pain.

Roman: If he gets injured, he brushes it off. But for MC he nonchalantly tends to the injury himself as he's got experience with such things. A small injury won't kill him or MC.

Joseph: He's certified first aid so his skills are adequate in tending to injuries. Calm and efficient, he doesn't panic and gets the injury secured.

Ivan: Slightly distressed but doesn't show it, instead he acts calm to relieve MC of any stress and concerns. He does the same thing if he's injured. Stress can cause inaction after all.
