    I dont care what anyone else thinks abt this game. After fully experiencin everything it has to offer, I just wanna say its absolute piece of ♥♥♥♥. Minor spoilers ahead. All the ui and point and click issues pale in comparison to the fundamental worldview problem here. Im not exaggeratin when I say this game is basically abt castratin men. In the first 2 stories, if the male lead shows even a hint of havin his own life, his own thoughts, or any backbone at all, he ends up completely alone. The…

    Title: I typed her name anyway LoveChoice asks you at the very end: type the name of the one you love, or leave it blank. I knew we had broken up. I knew it was over. But I typed her name anyway. This game is short, quiet, and deceptively simple. Three stories about meeting, missing, and mistrusting. But somewhere between the second chapter and the third, I wasn't playing anymore—I was remembering. High school. The girl I turned to look at during the radio calisthenics, just one beat longer…

    This game tells the story from a male perspective, which, as a female myself, does not really like and cannot really relate to. It somehow reinforced the stereotypic opinions that males might have on females' expectation in relationships. I personally cannot relate to the "right choices" that would lead to a "happy ending." Maybe this game and its storytelling is just not for me. I feel like it portrays the female character in such a passive way, which almost made them feel like the…

Maybe there was one, maybe there have been a few, or maybe you have never felt a genuine connection with someone.

    When I was playing this game, I always cried because of some sweet moments. I realized I’ve never had that experience myself, because every time I try to find love, I never succeed. In reality, distance is also a barrier for two people in a relationship. It’s really hard to give up, and I can’t even imagine how they met and stayed together for about 10 years. But sometimes, it is what it is—you have to face it. In this world, no one is perfect, and nothing is perfect. Regrets and pain will…

    I really enjoy this little visual novel! It has different stories with multiple endings, and each one focuses on relationships and the choices we make. What stands out to me most is how connected the stories feel to real life. They are not just simple romance stories. They also touch on communication, misunderstandings, everyday problems, and how even the little things we do can affect a relationship. Some parts actually make me stop and think about how I would react if I were in the same…

    I'd thought that i was a simple visual novel, but it proves that they truly made a difference. Actually it's really astonishing the time I played the chapter 2. You know the same tricks usually bring bore. Though I've already know that it wasn't a simple novel but a ingenious puzzle with respect, understanding, tolerance etc. , which means that I'd been tricked once in chapter 1, It tricked me another time in chapter 2, and it was much more thoughtful as well as difficult than chapter 1.

    Game sets you up to failure and fustration by not explaining the mechanics (yes, there ARE mechanics but explaining it any further in this review would be a spoiler basically) It's supposed to be a simple narrative game but in fact you have about 0% chance to reach a happy ending without looking up a guide Yes the game is cheap but I'm sure there are even cheaper ways to get fustrated

    Where is the choice? You can select different replies all the time but the rest of the game doesnt change. However the game wants you to find two different endings to progress with the next story. You even have to look up a guide to find ceratin things to get the good ending. Apart from that the relationship portayed here is completly toxic. The story even though it is so short is just not well written unfortunatly. Shes always uninterested and leaves you for any small bs. The only time she…

    LoveChoice is a short interactive visual novel that examines modern relationships through branching micro-stories. Instead of a single long narrative, it presents multiple scenarios that explore communication, emotional distance, and personal responsibility. The tone is quiet and reflective, aiming to evoke consideration rather than dramatic twists. Gameplay focuses on simple dialogue choices and interactive prompts. Players make small decisions such as sending messages, selecting reactions,…

    玩过《LoveChoice》之后,心里有很多感触。这真是个好游戏,它让我们能一次次读档重来,去追求那个完美的结局。可现实呢?现实往往没有第二次机会,失去了,就真的没有了。 游戏教会了我如何去爱,可那个我本该珍惜的人,已经不会回来了。想到这里,眼泪就忍不住掉下来。我真的好想提醒每一个人,请务必珍惜此刻陪在你身边的那个人,不要等到人家一次次失望,终于不想再等了,才想着去弥补,因为那真的弥补不回来了。 我很爱她,但我的方式却一步步推开了她,这大概是我最大的遗憾。最后我明白了,游戏只是一个预告片,它指引我们,但真正的故事都在现实里。当我们关闭游戏,面对现实的那一刻,才是《LoveChoice》真正想告诉我们的东西。

    All of the stories truly touched my heart, especially the one about distance. This game teaches us how our actions affect the outcomes of our relationships. Unfortunately, I didn't know this game was left on for a few hours when I was journaling, which makes it look like I played for 7 hours... Oops! 🙀 Overall, I would definitely recommend this game because you can decide for yourself and learn in these relationships. You might even be able to reflect these good actions in your love life!

    When I had initially played this with an ex we reflected a lot about relationships and helped each other complete the game. Funny enough we never completed the last chapter together and after about two years I came back and felt I had some closure completing it by myself. The music is lovely and the art is so adorable. Frankly a very simple and quick game but for the soft romantics out there I would say this would not waste your time.

    I feel bad leaving a negative review, so I will say some positives. It’s cheap. The art style is cute (it’s an art style I like a lot actually), and the idea of adding point and click puzzles to the story is creative. However, that’s also a part of the problem with the game. You have dialogue choices, like you would with any visual novel or story game, but if you just use those, then you’re guaranteed to get a bad ending. To get anything different, you have to somehow figure out what you’re…

    What a load of garbage! Has minimal amount of decisions but I still struggle to progress through the game because clicking through the dialogue just becomes a chore and not fun at all. I should be able to play through all the 3 stories without having to achieve 2 different endings in the 1st story.

I ended up playing through every outcome to get all the achievements, and while some routes were stronger than others, it was still interesting enough to keep me going until I finished everything.

    The art is so cute and adorable. I loved how the choices make you stop and think instead of just clicking here and there. You actually think, put in efforts, see how you can make it better and what not. I really enjoyed different stories and endings and the whole choice based setup (which had actions as well instead of words - as they say "actions are louder than words") It's a cute, cozy, emotional game.

    The relationship stories we get to see are in diverse situations but very narrow minded. Even though this game has a very "think outside the box" gameplay, the choices we get to pick are sometimes so questionable and so hard to figure out on your own. (I definitely wouldn't have gotten 100% if it wasn't for the guides). The art itself is very cute, so props out to them, but I wouldn't sell this game as "cute" story wise, since there are a lot of bad endings. At the end of the day this game only…

    Honestly, this game is pretty good. Instead of simply teaching romance or following stereotypes, it feels more like a reminder to understand others and think from different perspectives. The game does have “correct choices,” because it’s still a game with fixed options — but real life doesn’t work like that. In reality, every choice you make is something you have to take responsibility for, and love itself never comes with a standard answer. What this game offers isn’t a formula for love, but…

You can't change the past, and there's nothing wrong with looking back. But if that past ever threatens to overwhelm my present with pain again, I'll come back to read your reviews. Thank…
