Ai Ren Lover

Ai Ren Lover is an interactive visual novel based on real events, with a 130,000-character script and around 8 hours of play. It follows three protagonists through three stories, with fully voiced characters. The stories portray ordinary people whose feelings and choices do not shift simply because of a branching option; there are no characters to攻略, and no guaranteed happy endings.

Three stories

In “Longing,” He Shiwen reflects on an awkward affection for someone whose tastes she admires without understanding, and on how her careful gestures may have troubled him more than moved him. In “Belief,” Fang Fufu leaves the familiar confines of her home to pursue a wider world, trusting that someone will understand her passions while realizing that her life need not revolve around waiting for that person.

In “Obsession,” Xia Huai describes wanting a singular, healing love while fearing the depth of devotion she might receive from others. This third story includes NTR content. The stories are set in different circumstances, including a historical setting, and depict flawed people rather than idealized figures.

Collectibles and records

Each story has its own special collectible. Notes reveal each protagonist’s innermost thoughts, while the letter system, used in the historical story, lets you engage with items such as family letters and painted scrolls. Across the three stories, you can collect 27 CGs.
