You are an independent trainee trying to survive through a big company's new survival show, Telltale Academy, but things take a dark turn when a mysterious site called GUMIHOCOM, starts leaking the contestants dark secrets, getting them kicked out one by one. They couldn't possibly know what you've done, right?

There is no way they could publish something like that.

You can't know for sure, can you ? The threat claws over your nape. To save yourself and your debut, you have to find out who is behind GUMIHOCOM, or at least get them to leak your fellow contestants secrets before yours !

ᡣ𐭩 Play as female or AFAB non-binary.

ᡣ𐭩 Romance and investigate your fellow contestants.

ᡣ𐭩 Manipulate situations for screen time and popularity.

ᡣ𐭩 Pick songs and concepts for your stage performances.

ᡣ𐭩 Engage in ships and fanservice.

ᡣ𐭩 Sabotage your rivals and bribe staff.

ᡣ𐭩 Choose your skills, strengths and weaknesses as an idol.

ᡣ𐭩 Bite down the memory of that night…..

NYLA SARATHKUMAR (F,21) [ RO ] Daughter of the cyber-security CEO, Nyla is the only contestant that seems chill with potentially being exposed online. Wether she's a wolf in sheep's or a lucky go-lucky goofball, being close to her means safety. And it doesn't hurt that she's just so sweet. Will your affection for her get in the way of your need for survival?

NOH DAMBI (F,21) [ RO ] A lost it-girl, Dambi is an ex-member of a famous girl group who got kicked out for bullying accusations that have since then been " disproven ". Now she turns back to the spotlight for her major comeback, but nobody seems to believe she's truly innocent. She seems so lonely and misunderstood, someone who needs a kind hand. But can you trust your heart to her ?

MACY LEE WALSH (F,20) Being the sister of a well-known Kpop gossip youtuber to the likes of Sojang, Macy knew she was walking into a piranã bowl when she joined Telltale Academy. The most likely culprit, when then leaks start turning up her head is immediately on the market for a high prize. And everyone must be right, right? The apple never falls too far from the tree.

SOAPY (F/M,2X) [ RO ] Your fansite, your knight in shining armor, your stalker? Nobody has ever had your back like your biggest fan. They would do anything for you, even leak other contestants scandalous secrets. Or at the least you hope so.

MA YIFEI [ F, 25 ] - A rich girl and former member of Chinese group SNH48 Yifei would be the epitome of an ideal female idol, if she wasn’t a huge lesbian. For mean girl who’s obsessed with the aesthetics of perfection and femininity, that’s a pretty rough secret to keep, specially when you start to develop feelings for the girls you're supposed to be kicking into the ground .

SABIRA OMAROVA, [ F, 23 ] - A Russian Tatar model who landed herself in this program through a series of unfortunate events, and the object of Yifei’s unrequited obsession. Engage in Love Triangle route where you can be Yifei’s Rebound and romance Sabira at the same time.

TADA EMIKO, [ F, 2X ] - One of the company’s oldest trainee’s and an unbreakable soul that seems to maintain her spark no matter what. A true idol.

KIM AGATHA, [ F, 20 ] - Weird girl central. A former child model and fellow long time trainee at LOVEKRAFT ENTERTAINMENT, she seems to be the CEO’s favorite.

LI MAYUKA, [ F, 22 ] - The life of the party. No filter and no discipline, Mayuka really doesn’t seem like a Kpop trainee, but maybe her rebellious nature is exactly what you need to shield you from the horror of this industry.

will anyone die in this, also can the mc be a yandere or at least a red flag?

Hi! Honestly my first plan was for nobody to die, but I have a Bad Ending in mind where one of the characters will be in a death-like stage. MC can definitively be a red flag, but their caracterization options lean more towards tsundere behavior.

[tellltaleacademy-if]

Hello author, I really like this game, can't wait to see how it goes.

Will we be able to choose the clothes our MC wears or the MC's style? Or will MC wear only feminine clothes?

Sorry if I have grammatical errors, English is not my first language, take care author😁.

Hi ! Sorry for the delay! In the second part of the demo I'm working on, yes you can actually pick MC's clothes for their first stage! I'm going to try to put in as many options as possible, so if you want MC to have a more masculine style, it's up to you! After the demo stage, MC will have to wear the survival show uniform, the top part is a pink vest with some embroidered hearts on it, but you can choose wether you want to have pants or a skirt on! Also Thank you so much that is very sweet of you 💕

[tellltaleacademy-if]

you WILL JOP

[tellltaleacademy-if]

I was wondering if there will be more fake nice options later on? Since they're on TV I don't think my MC would be outwardly mean to the others, but I also think that she would secretly hate a few of them and secretly be a bitch.

Yes ! I tried to make it choosable wether the MC is being nice for genuine reasons or just because they want something out of the person or are conscious about the way they might be perceived in the show!

The Likability Stat right here is always affected by the way you treat your fellow contestants and the how the public sees you, so by acting nice you can manipulate your perception and popularity!

But if choose being mean spirited, your fake nice act might be spotted and your real feelings might shine through. Even if your actions are good, if choose to have bad intentions behind them, then it will slowly erode your Likability score, which will hurt your popularity among contestants and the voting public.

For example.....

if you the AGATHA ROUTE in the intro, even if you CHOOSE to help her, if you click on the "You're glad to see her go" option later on, showing you don't have any real empathy for her, you will lose - 1 in Likability.

With that said, feel free to make MC a double-faced bitch that's completely valid and cool !

[tellltaleacademy-if]

Hi I saw that one of the contestants were called Fairy, and i was wondering if we will get stage namss in the future?

That's actually something I hadn't thought abt ! Most trainees on survival shows use their real names but sometimes they pick English or Korean names, like Son Myah from Girls Planet 999's government name is Yena, but since Yena from Izone was a popular contestant on Produce she used her English name! Maybe in the MC's customization sector, that will happen during MC's first stage in front of the judges, I'll add an option to go by a Stage Name !

Hello! I really love the demo so far 😍 I've been wanting to play a kpop-related IF for so long and yours was great!

Hi hello! Thank u so much sweetheart, I'm glad you liked it !

[tellltaleacademy-if]

hi i just wanted to let you know that there are a few typos here and there in the demo, and that it's a bit strange that the other contestants put their last name first when introducing themselves but then the mc puts their first name first when introducing themself. other than that the demo was great and i hope you don't abandon this story 💗

OH SORRY !! I'll try to revise things better next time. Thank you for your kind words, and don't worry I'm still writing just don't a have a lot of things to post to tumblr !

Played through the demo awhile ago, and while I'm holding back on romancing anyone (I wanna get to know everyone first haha), but Nyla is really charming!! She's such a cutie, I love her already :>

Really looking forward to see how the story pans out, the rumors surrounding the characters that were introduced so far seem DARK and I'd love to see what the payoff is on it in future chapters

Awnn, I'm so happy you like Nyla and enjoyed the game! Thank you !!! Some of them will end up being revealed through the leaks while others will be found out through MC's own investigation, maybe with some help from outside sources ( cough cough Soapy ), and there will be a lot to uncover abt the specific details of each situation and what led the characters there !

A MESSAGE TO THE INTERACTIVE FICTION COMMUNITY

I shouldn’t have to say this, but apparently, some of y’all need a wake-up call:

STOP HARASSING AUTHORS. Stop badgering them, stop guilt-tripping them, and for the love of god, stop sexually harassing them.

Authors in this community are putting blood, sweat, and soul into writing free games and stories — for you. They don’t owe you updates. They don’t owe you romance routes. They don’t owe you your weird little fantasies. They are not your personal writing service.

Some of you are not just entitled — you’re predatory. If you're sending inappropriate messages to authors, making creepy comments about characters or romance options, or trying to blur boundaries for your own gratification? That’s not “flirting.” That’s not “engaging with the story.” That’s harassment.

If someone tells you a boundary — respect it. If they don’t update for a while — that’s their right. If they don’t write your favorite RO the way you want — tough. They are not here to cater to your every whim. They are here because they love stories. Don’t make them regret sharing them.

This behavior isn’t just “annoying.” It’s driving talented, kind, and brilliant creators out of the community. So if you’ve been part of the problem, take a step back and ask yourself what kind of fan you actually want to be — because right now, some of you are acting like the exact reason creators lock their inboxes, go on hiatus, or quit entirely.

Writers are not your therapists, your kink dispensers, or your emotional punching bags. They’re people. Treat them like it.

And if that’s too hard? Get out. We won’t miss you.

- Amelia <3
