Lover's Enigma

LOOOOOVE!! just finished my first playthrough and it was so good! i hadn't realized there'd be some spooky parts and nearly chucked my steamdeck :'DDDD --which, btw, the game plays great on :D and the rhythm game plays great on the d-pad. the art and atmosphere are awesome :> edit: COMPLETED THE WHOLE DANG THANG. IT WAS SOOOOO GOOOOD UGHHHHHH <333333 i didn't realize how much this game would also make me laugh. the modern humor lmaoooo. it'll be fun revisiting this decades fr now. UGH I MISS EVERYONE ALREADY (except for you [redacted])

I've been following the development of Lover's Enigma since the demo and backed it on Kickstarter and it's been amazing getting to play the full product. Gorgeous art, incredible creepy atmosphere, and I'm already so deeply attached to Haruki who I am unashamedly biased towards. I'm really excited to play through the rest of the routes.

This game has been such an experience and the horror aspect of it is a cherry on top. I love all of the characters and they are all connected to each other in a way. The dialogues and the interaction they have for the MC. Love how there is a time mechanic with the flip phone making the experience of the game more fun, exploration and checking each corners of the map to meet or talk to the love interests or other characters. Music, sound effects and the characters overall are nice. I personally think Ryota is the best character based on lore, development, dialogue choices and art overall. I cannot get myself to not choose Ryota when doing the other character's routes. The plot twists and the animations in this are amazing, it has been a beautiful experience as a player who played all types of otomes and visual novels since high school.

The art style and other visual choices are so unique and stunning! It also does a great job making the player feel spooked and unsettled. I do find that the story feels a little fast? It also has some hiccups if you only focus on one character and then accidentally talk to another boy. They talk to you as if you have had previous interactions before which was mildly confusing. With the pacing feeling fast, I don't get to marinate in learning about the world and characters as much as I personally would like. The slot machine mechanic to have success in different interactions was tricky to figure out for a bit, which maybe is what led me to the bad end? I felt like I made the right choices for Haruki's route so this is my main hypothesis. I see a lot of potential in this idea. I do think the aesthetic and art are worth it. Mostly wish there was a bit more story.

this is my FAVOURITE visual novel PLEASEEEEEE PLAY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love how the horror, the psychological horror it creates. The art style, the depth in the characters. Nothing was expected. Thats what i loved the most, i could never expect whats going to happe next TOTS PLAY IT. IM ONLY DONE WITH ONE ENDING AND ITS BEEN 17+ HOURS

i play for kazuki, i fell in love for ren:3 anyways i like this game a lot! i feel like it's been so long since anything affected me this way. usually i don't play horror much because i'm coward lol but i decided to try this game because i got intrested in the characters design (honestly the art is amazing! love the cg's being animated it's so unique) and i love playing otome\dating sims and i'm so glad i did! i had such a fun time. only complaints is that i wish there was more closure ig? or maybe i just wanted more answers and time with the characters. either way i will def reccomend this game, i thought about this game almost everyday since i played fr getting brainrot hahaha
