PC & MAC versions updated with new soundtrack

Hi all :D We're excited to bring you a Visual Novel adaptation of our original short story, Out Loud! As you all know, I'm a writer first, and that's what drives me as a creative. However, there's been a mixed reception to the short stories, with quite a few of you saying that you're just not interested in reading them. As an experiment, we decided to pivot production and convert a short story into a visual novel short, in hopes of making it more entertaining and persuading you to give the story a chance. It's important for us to gauge how the story is received in this format so we can better position our extended-universe stories in the future. So please let us know your thoughts, and enjoy! <3 Download Links:PC | MAC | ANDROID

Be sure to let us know your thoughts when you're done! 😁

I already know that I will. It's from Apollo Studios. Everything has been great so far. Never been disappointed, except for wishing Hollow, Eternity,and New Hope were much longer. I've really enjoyed them all 🥰 But I know that they take time, so I will continue to impatiently wait 😜

I read this short story before, it was great. And then you go and add art and music to the story to get this VN, making this VN an upgrade to the story. I love your story and I love your writing, please don't stop making them. But I prefer VNs. To me, your VNs feel like they upgrade any of your stories into an experience. I wish there was a way for you to write and for others to get those writings into VNs, so you could write more and keep you happy and creative.

Kurupted

I most definitely agree 💯

Apollo Studios

Wow you played this super fast! I'm glad you enjoyed this visual adaptation. It was a lot of fun to make. Ultimately, I want people to enjoy my stories, so if this is the format that's the most well-received, then we can look at shifting how we do things over here. Obviously, creating a VN short takes a little more time than a short story, but if people are happy to wait that little longer for a more immersive experience, we'll definitely take that on board.

It required some focus (I mean, there was Ty in Pride outfit), but reading a lot means I get to read in a decent pace. I definitely am prepared to wait a bit longer. Or, in cases like this, first read the story and get the VN experience later, enjoying a great story twice.

This is cute and I am one of those that prefers visual, would love more of these for your other short stories. I appreciate you as a writer but the visual is just a preference for me.

Apollo Studios

Thank you for the feedback. Is there a specific short story we've done which you'd like to see next adapted in this way? :)

Apollo Studios

So Eternity already is one of our VN shorts! If you haven't had chance to play it you totally should!

Kazu!

first i was like: ok i am gonna stay on the tilescreen because of the music xD but i like the story, It covered so many topics(and it is still a short story) that I thought were well addressed. :3 looking forward to more...and i need to read the short stories asap now :D

Apollo Studios

You should totally give some of them a try! Let us know which you'd like to see adapted into a VN short 🥰 This is a super important story for me, so I'm glad this has given people who don't typically enjoy reading a chance to see it!

Liam

Deleted my comment as I tell you my memory is shocking, I will revisit your novels as well as Eternity which I have read!! its in my downloaded pile, oops!

Apollo Studios

Haha no worries mate! We've put out a lot of stories so totally understand mixing them up!

Kurupted

Everything! 🤩

That definitely hit home with me as I'm still not completely out. Only a few choice and trusted people truly know. Loved the story! I'm definitely a VN guy myself. It just adds that extra touch to your epic writing.

Andreas

Very nice story and nice to see more of Ty's character.

Some commenters are describing Out Loud as "cute" and "nice". I thought it was way more than that. I burst into tears in the middle of it, it was that impactful. Wow. I guess how we react to these stories depends a lot on our own personal experiences and how we can relate to them. I was Pax. Totally suppressed, in denial, fearful and bottled up inside myself, and I wish I had had a Ty to encourage and guide me like that. Instead, I was isolated and withdrew from life more and more as I sank down into a profound depression . It reached the point where I very nearly ended myself. I finally battled my way back from it on my own and am OK now. But Paxton's story really got to me!

For some reason I got an e-mail today, 6/1/26, saying that there was a NEW version of the VN Out Loud available to download. I did and just finished it. It's a GREAT short story! Thanks very much.

Apollo Studios

Thank you so much :) we updated some of the soundtrack and also made it free to download to celebrate pride month. Glad you enjoyed it x
