Sid is a rat working a dead-end job at the corner store. But on the other side of the street is the ballet theatre, The Red Ballet. He dreams of being on that stage with the graceful ballerinas and ballerinos. But who would want to see a rat flail around his ugly tail?
His life starts to change when he meets Emilio - the easygoing goat stagehand - and the intimidating bear Misha, who runs the ballet.
In a world that does not look kindly on the big dreams of a small rodent, can Sid find his swan feathers? Or will he remain the simple prey the world tells him he is?
And can he survive the dance of The Red Ballet's sinister secrets?

why does the otter have rodent teeth? Otters have fangs XD
Kacper's likeness to a beaver due to his teeth is an important part of the character, and is pretty much a plot point 🤫
(And I think it's cute, but that's less important)This game looks absolutely amazing. I played a bit and already like the story.
Wish I could read, but it looks absolutely…
Badass😝
Fantastic. Love the writing and characters. Gave me strong Echo-vibes. Always a treat to find a VN like this.
Hey Yasha327… this is the only recent place I could find you at so I’m hoping you see this but, are you still developing your game or is it forever going to remain incomplete.
just wanna know.
It's very rare to find actually good furry romance game I really enjoyed it
The story is fascinating, and the art is unique. I am eager to see where it leads, and I can't wait to read more of your work. :)
Thank you for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it ❤️ I'm aiming to get the next build out some time in May 🐭😇
So far, I'm really impressed with this VN. The characters are nice, and the game's dark ambiance adds an intriguing depth.
