Love ritual

Love Ritual is a fantasy narrative game about Riilai, a young woman and professional scientist with extensive knowledge of occult rituals. When police consult her family about a forbidden ritual at a crime scene, Riilai arrives in the city to assess two suspects: one from the Necromancer League and one from the Druid Circle. Both claim they are innocent, and Riilai must use her expertise to determine who is guilty.

The investigation

Each suspect has an advocate who argues for their client and tries to sway Riilai. You observe crime scenes, search for important items, decide what to do next and find ways to gather clues about the suspects. Riilai also faces cross-examination. As the investigation takes a darker turn, she must trust her heart to see it through.

Romance and choices

The advocates are Shanrae, an attentive and kind representative of the Druid Circle who is eager to succeed, and Kalaseth, a rationalizing and eccentric representative of the Necromancer League who is swift and merciless toward opponents. You choose whom to side with and influence how the story ends. The narrative includes 40,000 words devoted to its romance and investigation, alongside secrets, flawed characters and a flawed world.

Art and discoveries

Live2D technology animates the characters and backgrounds, with expressions including happiness, anger, shock and embarrassment. The game also features an original soundtrack and interactive backgrounds where you can find hidden cats and objects. Collecting all the cat memes unlocks their display in the Easter Eggs Gallery, and Steam achievements are available.
