“Welcome Manager”

Summary:

otomelov.x
25 May 2025

Has anyone played the demo of “Your Idol” yet??? Omg it is SO GOOD?? The amount of choices and content in this demo is insane 😭

Gaming company, Honmoon, is releasing a new game, a blend between an idol management and a dating simulator. After working on it for nine years, with millions of words, choices, variations, and endings, the game takes the online community by storm.

Notes:

I have been reading a lot of multimedia/unconventional format/experimental style/epistolary/social media fics lately and I want to try my hand at it.

I also, thought that with the cast of characters in kpdh, dating sims is quite fitting. I also very much love fully word-based interactive fiction (especially from COG), so I incorporated elements from those, instead of the more traditional style of otome games. There isn't that much of a difference, other than how there is a lot more branching, choices, choices that influence personality a lot, and a cast of RO without specific routes/no common route (romance them as the story progresses).

As for the idol management part... they're idols so.. it just seemed fitting.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

YOUR IDOL

❝ 𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐑 ❞

 

About | Story | Features | Characters | News

 

 

ABOUT

Your Idol is an interactive, choice-heavy, idol management game that merges story, visual, romance, and idol raising playstyle into something that is both darkly captivating and delightfully sweet. 

 

 

STORY

You’re a half-demon, a favourite of the demon king, and now, a manager of a demon boy band. Deemed as the most suitable fit—wholly due to being the only demon the king allows to roam the human world freely—you’re not only forced to look after the band and make sure they succeed, but also tasked with keeping a special eye on them to make sure they don’t stray. After all, he needs this to succeed perfectly so he can consume fans’ souls and regain his power. 

It was never supposed to be a simple job. However, after a reunion with a childhood friend—a demon huntress and idol who directly opposes your goal—everything becomes much more complicated. 

Manage your idols, train them, organise their schedules, and make sure they succeed. All the while, form unlikely connections, rekindle friendships, share feelings, and build towards your ideal future… with whoever and whatever that might be, 

Who will you side with in the end? Will you accomplish your task, or will you sabotage it, whether unintentionally or intentionally? Who will be your idol?

 

 

FEATURES
  • Fully customisable protagonist, including name, appearance, sex, and pronouns.
  • Unlock over hundreds of different endings and variations.
  • Each choice matters, all influencing the branching narrative and characters.
  • Fully voiced by an incredible cast of actors
  • Stunning visuals and gorgeous animation 
  • Immersive story and gameplay
  • Beautiful music and songs sung by our actors 
  • Romance, befriend, or become enemies with demon idols and huntresses

 

 

CHARACTERS 
 
- SAJA BOYS -

Jinu

Assertive, creative and cocky, Jinu is the leader of the Saja Boys and the one who proposed the idea of making a demon boy band. As such, he is the one who roped you into this job. 

You’ve heard it from the king himself: he is someone who does everything with only himself in mind. In exchange for erasing the memories that have haunted Jinu since his death, he will provide the demon king with souls to feed on and get rid of the huntresses. 

 

Abby

Fun-loving, confident, bold, and charismatic, Abby loves the attention that is given to him by fans and isn’t afraid to lean into the public perception of him for fun. He never shies away from challenges and is quite talkative. 

Out of all the Saja Boys, the king had told you, he enjoys playing the role of a human idol the most, but he is also the one who shows the least desire to go back to his human life.

 

Romance

Flirty and charming, Romance fits the image of a dreamy, soft-hearted prince. He’s easy to talk to, likes to play around, and wears his emotions on his sleeves. Maybe it’s because of how open he is with his own emotions, but he is surprisingly empathetic and can easily pick up on others' feelings. It’s difficult to know what to make of him. 

Apparently, from what the demon king told you, he is quite emotionally intense and doesn’t form attachments easily, but when he truly wants something, he will do anything to get it.

 

Mystery

As the lead vocalist, Mystery has a distinct voice that is uniquely his. Like his name, he is far from easy to decipher at first glance. He prefers to be a quiet observer, keeping to himself most of the time. However, that doesn’t mean he never speaks. You find that he can be quite… strange.

When you asked the demon king about him, he told you that he’s not only the easiest to please, but also the most open out of everyone.

 

Baby

Seemingly adorable and sweet, Baby puts on a mask when on stage. He’s the rapper of the group with a personality and voice that are the exact opposite of his appearance. When off-stage, he’s quiet, cool, and indifferent, acting like nothing is ever worth caring about. Out of everyone, he’s the hardest to approach. 

You don’t know why, but the king calls him smart and seems to favour him.

 

 

- HUNTR/X -

Rumi

Ambitious, hardworking, and friendly, Rumi is the lead vocalist of the famous idol group, HUNTR/X. She has a big heart, always caring for her friends and trying to keep a positive attitude to keep them motivated. Due to her role, she is under a lot of pressure and tries to keep her flaws hidden. 

Just like you, she hides a secret that she cannot afford to reveal. 

 

Mira

As the visual and lead dancer, Mira is rebellious, blunt, and spirited. She’s the black sheep of her traditional family and is unafraid to push boundaries. Unlike how she may seem, she is highly perceptive and attuned to others' feelings. However, she can also be highly sceptical and finds it hard to trust people at first, but once she does, she never lets go. 

Despite her success in HUNTR/X, the shadows of her past continue to haunt her.

 

Zoey

Not only is Zoey the maknae and rapper of HUNTR/X, but she is also an old friend you made when you took a trip to Burbank a few years back. She’s always striving to keep peace and trying to solve conflicts. Bright, bubbly, and energetic, she holds the group together, and while she can be naïve at times, she always offers irreplaceable ideas.

As a Korean-American, she is trying to figure out what that means and where she belongs. She constantly feels like an outsider and struggles with her own identity.

defiledheartsbb [ 22 June 2025 ]  
ikr he’s my favourite but why is his route so goddamn hard 🥲

lovendepression_ [ 22 June 2025 ]  
It took me four tries with save scumming :(

haven.shepherds [ 23 June 2025 ] 
@lovendepression how do you save? I cant seem to find the option

lovendepression_ [ 24 June 2025 ] 
@haven.shepherds you have to complete two different endings to unlock the option!

psychku.so [ 23 June 2025 ]  
how are you guys even finding him?? I cant even find the chance to talk to him like where is he???? 

pennyxgoldvddtd [ 23 June 2025 ]  
@psychku.so Ima hold your hand when I say this… that probably happened because he’s actively avoiding you 

psychku.so [ 24 June 2025 ]  
@pennyxgoldvddtd they can do that!?

pennyxgoldvddtd [ 24 June 2025 ]  
@psychku.so If you plummet his affinity % to below 10% before the first performance, yes 😭 Out of everyone, he’s the one where you just CANNOT find after that happens so there’s no chance for you to raise it. Even when meeting with everyone, when you try to talk to him, he straight up ignores you. But the good thing is that some of his skills increase to ~65 by itself (but you can’t raise it,, it’s basically frozen for you)

psychku.so [ 24 June 2025 ]
@pennyxgoldvddtd what😀is he like practicing by himself while avoiding you 

pennyxgoldvddtd [ 25 June 2025 ]
@psychku.so that’s my head canon…. Im still trying different variations to get him since he’s so emotionally unavailable for no reason

 


 

rrinu_u [ 26 June 2025 ]  
how do I keep this man alive [ jinu.png ] 

h.scarletella [ 26 June 2025 ]
By securing Saja Boys’ win and defeating Huntrix

365love [ 26 June 2025 ]
you have to prevent him from meeting Rumi & discovering her patterns, OR by making sure he does not go over to help her during the finale

asraarcana_ [ 26 June 2025 ]
There’s a lot of ways I think. The easiest way is if you’re romancing him. As long as your affinity with him is high enough and you made the choices that showed him you love him & don’t push him away + love him as he is, he wouldn’t sacrifice himself. 

asraarcana_ [ 27 June 2025 ]
@asraarcana_ forgot to add) I think he can still die involuntarily even if he doesn't choose to self-sacrifice. Tbh he have quite a lot of different death flags

swdsherlockk [ 28 June 2025 ]
@asraarcana_ …what is he? A sunfish? A hamster?? 😭

there’s a reason I love their poly route sm lol you can get both

I knew this but still. Romance my baby is so underrated T-T

wintercrowee3 [ 28 June 2025 ]
Where are all the Romance fans???

fedya.b5d [ 28 June 2025 ]
Nahh i prefer dead Abs + Romance

uncover10.liars [ 28 June 2025 ]  
@fedya.b5d Damn. What did they do to you?

fedya.b5d [ 28 June 2025 ]  
@uncover10.liars Exist.

swdsherlockk [ 29 June 2025 ]  
@fedya.b5d Ikr! Those two annoy me sooo much. Both of them are so one-dimensional and shallow

aib1risu [ 30 June 2025 ]  
@swdsherlockk you cannot be seriously calling romance and abby shallow…

amnesia789 [ 30 June 2025 ]
@swdsherlockk Bro they are literally the opposite of one-dimensional. All the characters in this game are so beautifully written and complex, Abs and Romance included.

swdsherlockk [ 1 July 2025 ]
@amnesia789 Sure, I can agree that some characters are written well (like Jinu, Baby, and the Huntr/x girls) but Abby and Romance is not it. They fall into cliche archetypes… the romantic, flirty, playboy one… the hot, himbo, buff one, etc. And that’s all there is. They’re very shallow. 

cheshire_shun [ 2 July 2025 ]
@swdsherlockk tell me you didn’t play their romance route without telling me you didn’t play their romance route:

swdsherlockk [ 3 July 2025 ]
@cheshire_shun Sure, I can admit I didn’t. I tried to but they got to be the most boring characters in the whole game. Even Mystery is better than those two! I love the game, but you seriously cannot expect someone to play a character’s romance route when you yawn whenever they appear on screen.

cheshire_shun [ 4 July 2025 ]
@swdsherlockk that’s the whole point of their character. ACTUALLY the whole point of the game is about‌ hiding who you are and the mask that people put on for the world, especially idols 😭 They’re SUPPOSED to appear shallow because it’s an ACT! If you play their route, you’ll realise, like every single other character, they are more than they appear. They’re just better at hiding compared to the others. 

 


 

covemylove520 [ 30 June 2025 ]
I swear I barely see anything about Mystery. We need more fan content of him cause OMG HE IS SO FINEE CMON. I went into the game thinking I’ll fall for Jinu but Mystery completely stole my soul from him 😚

countryofheartss [ 30 June 2025 ]
No because same. He is so freaking sweet I think I’m sick. 

bloodalice_coh [ 30 June 2025 ]  
RIGHT. im literally starving for content of this man pleaseeee 🙏🙏🙏

takemysoulmys1 [ 30 June 2025 ]
I would sell my soul for fanart but I fear my soul is already gone

reddeer.y [ 30 June 2025 ]
FR HE IS SO SCRUMPTIOUS 🙋‍♀️🤤

the_p.ai.nter [ 30 June 2025 ]
he’s an angel. to capture his beauty, the artists need time. trust that they’re slowly cooking in the kitchen ;)

navi.vivi [ 30 June 2025 ]

@the_p.ai.nter omggg hiii i love your art sm.

covemylove520 [ 1 July 2025 ]
@the_p.ai.nter OHHH is this foreshadowing smth?! 👀

honeybuddah [ 30 June 2025 ]
Dude, same! I love Mystery but I don’t see a lot of people talking about him. Who am I supposed to yap about his face reveal to? The fact that he is so beautiful!???? Like his eyes??? The fact that he is the sweetest boy ever??? The fact that there are so many subtleties left unsaid in his words??? All the little things he does to show his love and care for us??? His protectiveness???

covemylove520 [ 1 July 2025 ]
@honeybuddah He is so gorgeous and sweet. Where can I find a boyfriend like him irl 😓

 


 

creme_de_la_creme [ 1 July 2025 ]  
I am sobbing. I feel so much for Rumi. I just want to hug her.

highsreven_ge [ 2 July 2025 ]
Same! Her story is so heartbreaking. I’ve played her romance over 3 times already because I can’t bear to leave her alone :( 

meerycrisi [ 2 July 2025 ]  
Spoilers btw— im trying to see how many paths you can take with Rumi and I’ve unfortunately found that you can betray her, kill her, and many other tragic endings that had me feeling like a monster

tobe_x [ 2 July 2025 ]
@meerycrisi Well. Tbh, you are a half-demon so a monster is pretty close.

highsreven_ge [ 2 July 2025 ]
@meerycrisi WHAT

delledenuit_hc [ 3 July 2025 ]
@tobe_x Rumi is too

meerycrisi [ 3 July 2025 ]  
@highsreven_ge yeah 😔 in the first half, you can romance her normally but towards the finale, if you haven’t revealed your demon markings, you can take her by surprise and rattle off a whole villain monologue

365love [ 4 July 2025 ]  
@meerycrisi you can also follow her secretly when she goes to confront Celine! And when Rumi is offering her life to Celine, you can take the chance to shoot her down if you manage to steal/borrow one of Zoey’s blades (im not sure if every weapon can work since I only tried killing her with Zoey’s). If you manage to one-shot her without revealing yourself, congrats, Celine is shocked and you either can run away or Celine will try to kill you ^^ If you don’t manage to kill her instantly + reveal yourself, the expression on Rumi’s face as she turns around is so angstyy. 

jacksofhearts3 [ 2 July 2025 ]  
Me too, I feel so bad for her. There’s so many hints thrown, like she’s desperately wanting somewhere to spill her feelings to but can’t. This line of the Golden song especially broke me, “And finally live like the girl they all see”. It’s the girl THEY ALL SEE. Not HER. Not HER with the PATTERNS. Not her TRUE SELF, but the perfect pop-star royal princess THEY ALL SEE!

norryscand_notes [ 3 July 2025 ]    
I absolutely shattered when she finally confided in the MC. She looked so vulnerable and scared that they’ll reject her, but at the same time, if they do reject her because of what she told them(and they haven’t told her about their own condition as a half-demon), she reacts like she expected it. Her face turned so cold, but you could tell the response broke her…

 


 

rumpel.ll [ 4 July 2025 ]  
Can I just say I absolutely, very much, supremely, greatly, significantly– adore and love Zoey?

popgoestheweas.el [ 5 July 2025 ]    
100% ‼️‼️‼️

panicbloom [ 6 July 2025 ]    
I would like to say the same thing 😌 

picka22 [ 7 July 2025 ]   
I LOVE friends-to-lovers troupe and they did it so well with Zoey! The yearning! The omg-i-get-to-see-you-again-after-all-these-years! The slow realisation that it’s not just platonic love but romantic! The denial of feelings! The ability to choose to ignore the feelings to protect what you have and then being jealous&hurt when she shows interest in one of the Saja Boys! On that note, can I just say I love how you can choose to be jealous and act on that jealousy in this story?? I haven’t seen much of that before cause it’s always the LI being jealous. 

norryscand_notes [ 8 July 2025 ]  
@picka22 LMAOO POOR MYSTERY but same. I love being able to act jealous and picking on Mystery while all the other boys goes “???is it just me, or are they targeting Mystery???” or “...they seem to be in a very sour mood these days.”

picka22 [ 9 July 2025 ]  
@norryscand_notes LOL YOU GET IT

rumpel.ll [ 10 July 2025 ]  
@picka22 i just got to say, I love the devs for giving us so many choices of dynamics with the various characters. It’s crazy how much work they put into this game. 😭🔥

 


 

r_beaufort [ 13 July 2025 ]
Why am I only knowing now that you can enemy to lovers with Mira??? I mean I always knew that the hunters counted as ‘enemies’ since we’re the manager of a demon boy band and their goal is to exterminate us, but like– cuz we’re Zoey’s friend, right?? So I thought that despite the fact they’re our ‘enemies’, they always treat you very friendly and un-enemy like??? But today years old, I learnt that you can indeed have a hate to love enemy to lovers relationship with MIRA?!

slayermu54n [ 13 July 2025 ]
YOU CAN WHAT NOW

r_beaufort [ 14 July 2025 ]
@slayermu54n MY EXACT REACTION WHEN SOMEONE TOLD ME THIS

pocket.n [ 13 July 2025 ]
I mean she’s very observant and is always suspicious of us if we reveal we are the manager of a k-pop band, even if you don’t straight-up mention what band it is. So i guess it makes sense?

binarystarr [ 15 July 2025 ]
Zoey → friends to lovers
Rumi → strangers to lovers
Mira → enemies to lovers

panicbloom [ 15 July 2025 ]  
@binarystarr I would say rumi is a bit more kindred spirits than strangers to lovers. They’re more strangers to friends to kindred spirits to lovers I think. 

endlessestbr [ 15 July 2025 ]  
I wouldn’t exactly call it ‘enemies’ to lovers. It’s more like a rivals to lovers? Or an intense dislike to love?

ifearcornjx [ 15 July 2025 ]
lololol iirc mira isn’t the only one you can have some form of an enemy to lover relationship with. You can also have quite a snarky rival-ish relationship with Jinu at first where both of you are fighting over the ‘leadership’ position. You can also one-sided hatred for Romance(but he keeps flirting with you) that can foster into love. There’s also a bit of hate/love banter in the middle of Baby’s romance route. 

takemysoulmys1 [ 16 July 2025 ]  
I adore how sarcastic and sassy she is in that route 💕

 


 

cantthinkofname [ 20 July 2025 ]  
Okay. Guys. I cant be the only one, right? Jinu that, Rumi this…What about Bobby…?! Hear me out💥😤

Do you guys sometimes think…
that the characters are very realistic?

< Horang-i >
What is this for?

< u >
Your Idol

< Horang-i >
Oh. That game still?
Haven’t it been two months since it’s release?
I figured you would have already completed it.

< u >
No, the game is very long
There are different endings and variations for basically everything
Also, the devs keep adding stuff

< Horang-i >
Hm, I see.

< POP >
You should totally check it out, Horangi!

< Horang-i >
Maybe I will.
See what got you guys so hooked.

You know how what I said a few days ago?
About the characters being really realistic?

DELETED MESSAGE (only you can view)
I feel like I almost know them from somewhere
They’re all so familiar for some reason?  

Sometime, I wonder…

 

< POP >
Wonder what?

< u >
Welllll,
I just sometime wonder
what it’ll be like to live in that world

< Horang-i >
It does have a very interesting world-building.

< tokki >
hehe ikr
im so glad that horang-i decided to try it 2

< POP >
One of us! One of us!

My game is glitching a lot these days
Do any of you have that problem?

< tokki >
glitching?
what kind of glitching?

< u >
Just it sometime blacks out
Or strange cutscenes that flash
CGs suddenly distorting
The music being all weird sounding
&sometime the game just freezes :(

< tokki >
huh? thats weird
i dont have that problem

< POP >  
Me neither
It’s probably a bug?
You should report it or smth

< Horang-i >  
I don’t have it either.
Maybe it’s just your device?
Try restarting it and see if that’ll work.

< u >
Oh yeah maybe!
I’ll go and try it

< tokki >  
u haven’t been online for over a week 
im kinda worried

< POP >
Huh why? I’m sure they’re okay
They always disappear for a while
And come back
It’s nothing new

< tokki >  
they sent one sos eerie single text at midnight  
and then never texted again
that’s not worrying for you???

< POP >
Seriously 😭
You’re always overthinking
You need to calm down.
Their game broke so they either is
a) freaking out  
b) trying to take another ‘break’

< Horang-i >
Yeah, I have to agree with POP on this one.

< tokki >
you guys…
I just have a feeling… 

< Horang-i >  
You freaked out last time too.
And they were fine, right?
They just went and took a ‘break’.

< tokki >
…touche, i guess

 

Notes:

The usernames were... mostly easter eggs and references to dating sims, Choicescript interactive fiction, and otome games...mostly mobile games, I think, (edit: PLUS other media because I ran out of ideas) largely because I had a bit of trouble thinking of usernames so). Any resemblance to real usernames (which will probably happen since there are so many usernames out there) is a coincidence.

Also, because of the nature of where the fic is set, I took more liberty with grammar, spelling, slang, etc, compared to normal fics.

Progress of writing this fic: write, format, research how to format this, format, rich text, html, rich text, preview, html, review, trial and error, save draft, more formatting, research game pages on itch.io and steam, research mechanics, write, format, rich text, html, check on phone, realise the format is off, change format, reformat.... (save me from format hell)

Also, the character introduction for the Saja Boys part took me way longer than it should have been. I tried to make sure their personality line up with what little is shown in the movie, but also added enough substance since they are love interests. There has to be a promise of a character arc and depth that can be explored.

I had to rush to finish (my rush is like for 12 hours on the last day before it's deleted, because I'm someone who always write so?? slow??) this because otherwise my draft would be deleted tmrw... I wrote this over a month ago. Formatted it exactly a month ago and promptly left it. When I checked the draft delete day, I panicked so hard. I don't want to format this all over again 😭 (I fear the rushed nature of the ending might be obvious a bit)

50 minutes before the deadline: I should add a random and fun ending that I won't even have time to reconsider.
10 minutes before deadline: I have finally finished writing. Time to do a quick edit before the time is up (please tell me if you catch any errors)
5 minutes before deadline: edit tags, edit summary, edit a/n
3 minutes before deadline: suddenly realising i have no idea what im doing
