1 / 6The Community Notes Are Wrong is a free-to-play otome and yuri visual novel developed by Tenshi Studios and published by Transparent Games. It released on Steam for Windows PC on October 30, 2026, in English only.
You play Ayla Solace, a singer who built her fame on heartfelt songs about the woman she loved. Fans crowned her a lesbian icon and her agency treats that image as a product, even though the label never quite fit. Then a quiet date with a male barista is photographed, the picture spreads, and her bisexuality becomes public in the worst possible way.
From there the game is about choices: what Ayla says online, who she lets close, and how she handles a social media storm full of biphobia. Its first four Steam reviews are all positive.
Gameplay
This is a choice-driven visual novel, so the play happens in decisions rather than reflexes. Scenes unfold through character sprites, backgrounds and illustrated CGs, and at key moments you pick what Ayla does or says. Those picks shape her relationships, change which story events happen, and push her toward different endings.
Two systems give the choices weight. The first is romance: male and female love interests each have their own route, filled with flirting, rivalry and complicated feelings. The second is social media. Ayla's posts and public statements carry consequences, so handling the online backlash is part of the game, not just background flavour.
Branching routes lead to multiple endings, and some of them are bad endings that follow from poor calls. That makes replays worthwhile: one run might chase a single romance, the next might test what happens when Ayla fights the narrative instead of riding it out. Because it costs nothing to download, trying a couple of routes is an easy commitment.
Story & Setting
Ayla Solace's songs about her former girlfriend made her a star, and her audience decided she was the perfect lesbian icon. Ayla never felt that word described her, but she went along with it, partly to avoid letting her community down and partly to keep the peace with an ex who disliked the word bisexual. Her agency was happy to keep the brand simple.
Everything breaks when a low-key date with a male barista is caught on camera and goes viral. Suddenly her identity is public, and the reaction is brutal. The story follows Ayla through the scrutiny, the biphobia and the erasure that come with being misread by fans and industry alike, while new and old relationships pull at her. It is a story about fame, identity and the cost of living up to other people's expectations.

Platforms & Availability
The Community Notes Are Wrong is free to play on Windows PC through Steam, so there is no price to pay in Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia or Vietnam. One DLC is available separately. The game is English only, with no Thai, Indonesian, Malay, Filipino or Vietnamese text.

Why it matters
Bisexual leads are still rare in games, and stories that tackle biphobia and bi-erasure head-on are rarer still. This visual novel puts those themes at the centre and wraps them in a modern celebrity scandal that feels very online. It suits otome and yuri fans, readers who want romance with real tension, and anyone curious about a story told from inside a social media pile-on. Being free makes it an easy try. Skip it if you want gameplay beyond reading and choices, or if you need text in a language other than English.
