Three Weeks to Keep the Show Alive

Sleeping With the Sash is an adult romance visual novel set behind the scenes of an international beauty pageant on Colombia's Caribbean coast.

You play as Octavio Vidarte, a 44-year-old stage director and walk coach. His dancing career ended with a knee injury, but eighteen years of production work have made him the person everyone calls when the schedule slips, the floor falls into chaos, or a contestant needs direction.

Seventy-one delegations have arrived. A new investment fund is watching. The host ministry expects results. The live broadcast is only three weeks away. Guide Octavio through rehearsals, wardrobe problems, production meetings, and private conversations while choosing one of three romance routes.

Meet the Women Behind the Sash

Ondine Lavaux — The Widow-President
Ondine inherited an organization, its debts, and the public role once held by her late husband. She can manage contracts and production details, but appearing alone as the face of the pageant is a different challenge. Her route follows late-night work, shared history, and the decisions required to lead the organization herself.



Nayeli Bustamante — The Reigning Queen
Nayeli has three weeks left in the title Octavio helped her win and no clear plan for what comes next. Her route begins with an established coach-and-contestant history and forces both characters to decide what their relationship becomes when her reign ends.



Yamila Arrieta — The National Director
Yamila runs the host delegation with precision and political skill. She also remembers a professional humiliation Octavio caused twenty years earlier. Her route centers on their unresolved history, negotiations over the current production, and the consequences of their choices for the people they manage.
