Romeo Must Live

TL;DR: I can't recommend this game due to the price versus the content, especially in the realm of the offered sexual content. If you're here expecting porn, you're going to be disappointed. 4 sex scenes with only 1 image per scene and lackluster dialogue during the sex scenes. Given the price tag, you're way better off searching elsewhere for an erotic experience. If the "Lewd Romeo and Juliet" aspect sounded interesting to you, 3 out of the 4 sex scenes are with unique characters not from the original work, and the last is Juliet. ----- Your first question may be in regards to how closely this resembles the original story, to which the answer is: Not really close at all. Aside from some namedrops, most of the characters really aren't from the original and the game is mostly a spin-off with a take on a less-violent form of moving through the story. + Minor spelling/grammatical errors, usually as harmless as a misplaced comma or an easily-overlooked misspelling. The Config dialogue window IS still in Japanese and wasn't translated but that's honestly really harmless. + Star Wars references out the wazoo when it comes to General Kenob-- N*groni (his name is censored on Steam lmao)…

[b]Note:[/b] A kind friend gifted me a digital copy of this game. ^^ [i]Romeo Must Live[/i] is a comedic visual novel developed and published by Little Black Book Entertainment. It is very loosely based on Shakespeare's famous [i]Romeo and Juliet[/i], and you take on the role of Romeo Montague, who has fallen in love with Juliet Capulet and wishes to marry her. Rather than go through the traditional route of secretly getting married and so forth, Romeo and Juliet want to get married with the blessings from both their houses and to do so peacefully. Thus, Juliet suggests that Romeo enlists the help of General Negroni, a retired mercenary who is known for being the smartest man in Verona and can help people out with their problems. That's the basic story premise, so I'll stop my synopsis here to avoid spoilers. XD In regards to the gameplay, several choices are presented as you progress through the story. Depending on the choices made, you'll get one of ten endings, which are tied to Steam achievements. (There's one additional Steam achievement for starting the game.) At the time of this review, Steam achievements won't count towards a user's global total until the game is o…

Short, fun and charming game. You wont find anything too deep or ground breaking story here, but the drawing is nice enough, music is fitting, enough choices for you to put in personality of Romeo. For the price, it is good enough. Though if author want to make more of VN may I suggest put a portrait of the character down next to to text so we can observe the change in facial expression.

An alternative version of the well-known tragedy. It is often used to torture kids during English lessons. As stated above, the devs were inspired by the classic school lecture to spin their own story. Here you're put into the shoes of Romeo, a handsome Italian fellow, who seeks a solution to the family feud blocking his marriage with Juliet. As the title suggests, one of the tasks is to avoid untimely demise at the hands of cruel fate. The take on the tale is mostly frivolous, but a certain dose of seriousness dictated by the concurrent era is present. Still, don't expect much elaborate writing here; expect a light, easily digestible narrative that even a younger audience can absorb (without a patch ofc). Out of all VNs produced or published by the Little Black Book Entertainment I played so far, this one contains the most endings, precisely 10, but a healthy dose of linearity present in their other games lingers. A copious number of choices mixed into the story adds some unpredictability, but the difficulty of reaching desired outcomes stays within reasonable bounds. After a few hours, every nook and cranny can be explored, leaving no stone unturned, i.e., all achievement feats…
