Romeo Must Live

Romeo Must Live is a Renaissance-period comedy heist visual novel and dating sim set in Verona in 1570. You play as Romeo Montague, who has fallen in love with Juliet, the daughter of his family’s rival. He devises a risky plan to marry her without bloodshed, and you guide him through the antics needed to survive to the altar.

A comic reinterpretation

The game reimagines Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, replacing the original play’s blood and tragedy with comedy and madness. Romeo’s plan could lead to marrying Juliet or ending up at the bottom of a lake. The story features wacky, lovable characters and has ten distinct endings, ranging from absurd to romantic.

Presentation

The game features hand-drawn characters and backgrounds, accompanied by an orchestral soundtrack.
