In 3 days, the lead singer of the worldโ€™s biggest boy band will go missing. You decide why.

Description

Half/Titan is the biggest boy band in the world. At the penultimate show of their sold-out world tour, your best friend, Skyler, discovers a mysterious photo backstageโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ’ญ

The photo has 6 people in it: all 5 band members, plus one mysterious blonde boy you donโ€™t recognize. ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŽค

Skyler, an internet-(in)famous Half/Titan super-fan, will stop at nothing to solve the mystery, and she wants your help.

Sucked into a whirlwind of social media stalking sleuthing, harassing questioning celebrities and CEOs, and doxxing the innocent for your own personal gain uncovering corporate scandals- the fate of your beloved boy band members in your hands.

What will you choose? ๐Ÿค”

History

  • In the spring of 2019, Travis Linden Reid, along with a handful of other game developers operating under the name So Good Games, created a dating sim set on a phone called ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘ž(โ€œpeach vodkaโ€) for a game jam, which now has over 40,000+ plays on Itch with virtually no marketing or press coverage.

  • Travis, obsessed with the whole game-set-on-a-simulated-mobile-phone thing, shortly thereafter started work on Project: Iced Coffee, originally a dating sim which then became a more general point-and-click-adventure/ visual novel. He created the label Studio Tilia to apply to this and future independent projects.

  • In 2023, Project: Iced Coffee was selected for the WINGS Elevate program, a Netflix-sponsored mobile games accelerator created to elevate mobile games created by diverse studios. 

  • In 2024, Travis burned out from working full-time in the game industry while trying to start Studio Tilia up as a business, and quit his software engineering career to pursue becoming an educator and finishing Project: Iced Coffee as a fully independent game.

  • In September of 2025, Travis launched a public beta of Project: Iced Coffee with the final title are we good? ๐Ÿ™ˆ.

About Studio Tilia

At Studio Tilia, our goal is to tell stories about humanity and the internet through mixed-media interactive experiences that provoke emotion and thought. We believe that by subverting expectations of what interactive fiction can be, we subvert our playerโ€™s relationships to technology and media. We also believe that these goals cannot be accomplished without the work of our diverse, independent, and creatively dedicated contributors.
