positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I might stop playing after only 3 chapters. I thought this game was going to actually give you "free will" to determine who you'll end up with. Reality is, there is a set amount of TOTAL affection you must reach to open the next chapter. Meaning, if you're like me and playing it for the first time, you're bound to gain affections equally from each love interest. Which is good until you didn't reach the total affection quota. You'll have to go back and change most of your choices to gain MORE…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR - Good acting, good video quality, bad story, no real choice. I had originally started writing a review prior to finishing my first playthrough. I was about 4 chapters in when I was writing it, then had to restart my PC, forgot to submit it, and I lost it. I am glad I waited because my opinion of this game got a whole lot worse after I finished it. Be warned, this review will contain spoilers. I will put them in the spoiler text, just in case, but honestly, you are better off knowing the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the OG that kickstarted the recent Chinese FMV fad. In the months and years that followed, many studios copied this concept, improved on it, and developed their own style. And, boy, they had so much room to improve the formula, because overall this isn't a great game at all. In terms of plot, the stories here are completely absurd. They appear serious, yet are incredibly detached from reality. Nobody in the world behaves the way these characters do. Like, nobody moves in with someone…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love Is All Around is an unusual blend of live-action romantic comedy, dating simulation, and interactive storytelling that succeeds by embracing its fantasy rather than pretending to be a realistic relationship simulator. Developed and published by intiny, it places the player in the first-person role of Gu Yi, a financially troubled young man whose circumstances bring him into contact with six very different women. Instead of relying on animated characters or traditional visual-novel…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What more can I say, the classic of all the classics. The pioneer of dating sim FMVs, a must play (along with Knowledge, or know Lady) to all FMV-enthusiasts.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love Is All Around is a heartfelt interactive romance that leans heavily into emotional storytelling. The live-action format makes choices feel more personal, and the relationships develop in a surprisingly natural way. Some paths hit harder than expected, for better or worse. A great pick if you enjoy narrative-driven experiences with romantic tension.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mediocre FMV: On his first day working at a museum, MC receives a business card from a visitor (Girl 1) after giving her a tour. Later, he encounters another woman (Girl 2) wearing a weird skirt. Near closing time, his boss warns him that taxis are unavailable due to heavy traffic. This point is where this chinesse romance kick; Girl 2 invites him to a bar since she is stranded. Both get wasted, and before losing consciousness, the protagonist decides to call Girl 1 (who is already asleep…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very easy recommendation from me. Despite feeling bit dated, the game somehow still managed to have everything that a fmv should have (girl ranking, story/plot tree, ability to pause and unpause, etc) which is amazing as this was pretty much THE fmv that kickstarted the sudden rise of asian fmv. The story as a whole isn't really anything too remarkable. You play as Gu Yi who is broke and in a huge debt, but somehow™ in the midst of all of this you managed to stumble upon 6 girls who…

Visual novel logic, baby. You live your life, make questionable choices, and somehow become the center of a reverse harem. Don’t think too hard about it. Just enjoy the ride. 💃 The Girls (aka reasons this game exists): All six girls are distinct, full of personality, and somehow see something in you. Maybe they’re…

This game felt like I was watching a tv series though, and with the power was in my own HAAANDS I made everything happen. Soooo I ended up getting really invested and theeeen 40 hours of play time and 65 achievements later, here I am! I 100%ed the game and I loved it so much actually.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It began with this game—this accursed one. But after that final scene faded to black, I was never the same. I plunged into the FMV abyss, where choices haunts me and faces linger. Now I sit here, eyes bloodshot, compulsively buying and devouring every FMV i could find, hoping the next will finally reveal who I’ve become. This game didn’t just pull me in—it rewrote my fate. 10/10

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"When ya" bukan sekedar kata spontan yang keluar begitu saja, itu adalah bentuk kecil dari keinginan. Sebuah cara lembut untuk mengekspresikan bahwa aku juga ingin, bahwa di dalam diriku ada keinginan yang sama. Tapi di baliknya, tersembunyi perasaan yang lebih dalam. "When ya" adalah tanya lirih pada diri sendiri, kapan giliranku untuk merasakannya? kapan aku bisa begitu juga? Lalu setelahnya, aku diam. Aku belajar menerima bahwa tidak semua keinginan harus dimiliki, tidak semua perasaan harus…

The iconic Asian FMV game that set the bar at its highest and has since inspired many companies try and reap the success of FMV games in Asia. "Love is All Around" and its DLC and related titles are top tier FMV games. Hours of video, numerous branching storylines and just when you think it's easy enough, nope...you're going to have to backtrack if you want to get that 100%. But I absolutely love this game and just when you think you find one route that is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reviewing (mostly) every game (or DLC) in my library, part 214: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ (8/10) If you told me an FMV game about dating six different women while trying to find a job would end up being heartfelt … I wouldn’t have believed you. But Love Is All Around is exactly that. It’s sweet, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, and always sincere. It knows what kind of game it wants to be, and it pulls it off with surprising polish. 💖 Pros: Every romance route feels like its own story. Each love…

But deep in my heart, I find it incredibly peaceful and relaxing to indulge in this world, knowing love is all around with six lovely waifus! Some of the scenes, especially the ending sequences where you get your final moments with each girl are shot and edited almost like a music video. It is so romantic, OMG. Shout out to my homie Lao Liu for being a true bro and teaching us that no matter how harsh life is, you must never forget to smile! LOVE IS REALLY ALL…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all and before everything, all the girls in this game are extremely GORGEOUS, Jesus H Christ have mercy on my soul for I have sinned GORGEOUS. This game is so freaking stupid that it becomes fun. By far, I've never seen such a dumb-ass MC in a game. To be honest I never saw someone that dimwit in my life, guy is more shallow than a puddle. That being said I had good laughs seeing how some decisions affect the story in the most random way. I don't know if the noticeable lack of logic…

unlabelledView post →As a developer passionate about FMV games and visual novels, I must say this game has been the most disappointing experience in the genre. I continued playing solely out of curiosity to see how the story concludes and how the characters evolve. However, I can no longer endure playing it further. I kindly suggest that players spend their money on better options. P.S. This game feels like a poor imitation of Five Hearts Under One Roof.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Came so many times to this game, totally worth trying!11!!! >.<
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My biggest gripe is technical issues. Image repeatedly freezing on the same spot, being kicked out from the game back to main menu repeatedly, screen going black while sound continues, terribly long pauses between scenes, skip scene not working, the need to force quit and restart. As for the gameplay, my first thought is “thank god I don’t live in China”. Aggressive men, culture of treating each other unfairly, scamming, sexism, child abuse, animal cruelty - not the nicest setting. Romances…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love Is All Around is one of the first FMV games I ever played, and to me, it remains one of the most iconic titles in Asian FMV history. It didn’t just introduce me to the genre; it helped define what modern Chinese interactive storytelling could be. The game’s success proved that FMVs can be cinematic, emotional, and commercially viable, inspiring many studios across Asia to follow its path. What really works is how genuine it feels. The game blends romance and realism without overdoing…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After I played more games like this, I realised that this one is not that good, even if it was enjoyable in the moment. Boring storylines, cliche characters, middle-school humor and bad translation. Only 2 decent heroines (party-girl and single mom) IMO don't make this game worth buying Recommended only for FMV datesim enthusiasts
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →6 Hours spent on this game i really enjoy the game. I really enjoy the overall story and the immersive experience, this is a fun game and also my first FMV game i played but i really enjoy this game. There are sad and happy moments, all the girls also have their own unique personalities, which makes it really difficult to choose. Lin Yueqin best girl no doubt!

I want to try play this game because i watch a youtuber play this game and somehow this game looks really fun to play and enjoy. This is a fun game, there are funny moments and sad moments too, you also can understand every type of women in this game from your perspective and maybe this game can help a lot when you try to know a girl or women.

unlabelledView post →I love beautiful Chinese women as much as the next lonely nerd but this is indefensible. The actresses did a really great job, but there is only so much you can do when the story is this horrible. And there is so little actual choice, to the point where you're just going along a predetermined route instead of actually making your own decisions. Just don't.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What you see is what you get... The writing and acting, and characters are fairly flat, and everyone pretty much falls in love with you at first glance. At least "Five hearts" had it humor to fall back on, but this seems to purely be "cute moments with cute girls", without anything underneath. Perhaps I dropped the game too soon, but I just could not stand how stale the writing felt, 'It's another 6 Girls, each with their own trope' thing, rather than them having actual personalities, and…
