Niko is a lifelong actor who’s been bouncing from audition to audition, unable to score more than a few commercials, until he gets the lead role in a major teen drama. There he meets a variety of other actors from all walks of life and starts to fall for his costar Ren, one of the biggest movie celebrities right now, who happens to play his rival in the show.

Canvas Menagerie is wholesome slice of life visual novel that follows Niko and his fellow castmates—and crush, celebrity costar Ren—going through their 20s together in the Hollywood of the South—Atlanta, Georgia.
