Fame. Renown. Power. As an opera singer in the Onacona Orchestra, everything you've ever dreamed of is within your grasp. Then a crime boss falls dangerously in love with you.
You always dreamed of big things. No, you always knew you were destined for great things. Five years ago, all of your hard work paid off when you were hired by a prestigious opera house in the US and left your abusive home together with your mother.
In present-day, you are invited by the Onacona Orchestra to accompany them on a tour across Mexico, your homeland. Not exactly keen on revisiting old wounds, your mother— now your manager, insists you accept the invitation, promising it'll be good for you to reconnect with your roots.
After some back and forth, you finally accept the invitation and travel to the first city in the tour's itinerary; Tijuana.
After a stunning show, you meet an enigmatic stranger who presents themself as Bunny, and asks to take you on a late-night date. You accept, and the next day, left alone in your hotel room, you expect never to see them again.
However, when you are shot by an unknown assassin and the one who saves you is the alluring stranger from the night before, you become embroiled in a war between cartels, and the prime link between the Cartel de Nuevo León and the Police Department of Tijuana, that seeks to put their cartel members behind bars through the Operación Zorro.
If you knew about this game before, you may have noticed the game's setting has changed quite drastically. That is because I wanted to honor my homeland, but the features are much the same.
You can still choose the appearance, gender, pronouns, and the personality traits of your Player Character.
You can still choose your singing voice; are you a mezzo or a soprano? A baritone or a bass?
You can still romance three RO options, and only their names and origins have changed.
VALENTÍN/RANZA VILLARRUBIA (m/f) is the crime boss of the Cartel de Nuevo León.
Affectionately nicknamed "Conejito/a" by their family members, they introduce themself as Bunny to you, the English equivalent of their nickname.
Smitten from the moment they saw you, or so they claim, Bunny is magnetic, seductive, almost fatal, with a guile that betrays a dark mindset.
This crime boss only loves those they can control, but if you decide to push back, can you get Bunny to see you as an equal? [⚠️; this route deals with near-pathological obsession, stalking, violence directed towards others, and a twisted sense of protectiveness towards the PC.]
APPEARANCE: ivory skin, dark green eyes, and wavy, auburn hair. VALENTÍN has his hair in nape-length and slicked back. RANZA favours a cheek-length, girlish bob.
"Te amaré con lo qué en mi es irracional y bestial."
SASHA VENTURA (m/f) is the carefree, flamboyant cello player in the Onacona Orchestra, with a friendly and empathetic demeanor.
From the moment the two of you met, Sasha did everything in their power to make you feel welcome and dull the discomfort you felt with being back in Mexico by being there for you and taking you to their favorite places.
When they are caught in the crossfire of your shady dealings with the Nuevo León Cartel, gone is the warm friend you came to know.
APPEARANCE: golden-brown skin, dark brown eyes, and curly, dyed dirty-blonde hair. BOTH wear their hair in shoulder-length and styled in braids.
"Tú, la sangre, la ruina, mi corazón."
PASCAL/PASCALINE EVARISTO (m/f)
Cal is the overeager, passionate but playful police officer part of Operación Zorro.
Teasing in the face of danger, Cal seems unfazed by your deadly predicament, and seems to have some sort of strange relation to the Nuevo León Cartel.
Dangerous in a way you can't quite discern why, Cal always looks forward to seeing you.
APPEARANCE: tawny skin, amber eyes, slightly wavy, chestnut-brown hair. PASCAL has short hair in an undercut. PASCALINE has waist-length hair always up in a severe bun.
"Me quedé enamorado/a contigo, con tu ardor, con tu encanto."
