True Love

True Love is a story-driven game about a 19-year-old Japanese college senior living in Meiai. His parents have sent him out to live independently, hoping it will help him find a partner. Unsure of his future, you guide him through three months of consecutive days as he tries to define himself and find someone to love.

Daily schedule

At the start of each morning, you choose activities for the evening and night, and for daytime on weekends or vacations. These choices shape the protagonist’s profile, distributing points among passion, appearance, fatigue, scholarship, strength and art. His stats and the order of activities on particular days affect his romantic focus and can trigger events and encounters with other characters.

Re-release

Originally released for the NEC PC-98 in 1995 by Japanese developer Software House Parsley, True Love was localized for Windows 95 and released in the U.S. and Europe by Otaku Publishing four years later. The re-release runs on the Ren'Py engine and includes the ability to resize the window while keeping the retro pixel art intact.
