LoveTalks

LoveTalks takes a familiar dating-simulation premise and gives it an unusual first-person structure. Instead of spending the entire experience moving through static dialogue scenes, players explore a 3D school environment while searching for conversation topics that can help the protagonist become closer to one of several heroines. Developed and published by Ryuki Yumeno, it is a small independent production that relies more on its central social concept than on elaborate graphics or complicated mechanics. The premise revolves around a second-year high school student who has transferred to a new school and wants to find a girlfriend. His biggest difficulty is surprisingly ordinary: he does not know what to talk about. The gameplay turns that social uncertainty into an actual mechanic.

"LoveTalks" is an appalling "dating sim" where the developer lives out his fantasy of creeping around a high school and trying to date high school girls and steal their underwear. Needless to say I've reported this one to Steam. I gotta say it has to be tough for this developer to have imaginary high school anime girlfriends when he isn't allowed within 200m of a school.

The crux of this is to push some very low quality, badly done fan-fiction tier writing, where we see once more a developer fail to understand the importance of "Show, don't tell", and for whatever reason, weren't able to convey their narrative through gameplay, giving us endless lines of badly written e-book text instead. My gaming rig is not a kindle. The poor quality graphics look like they're from asset stores or a construction kit. So until Valve removes this garbage, it still looks like an asset flip. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's…

The whole game is actually really cute, but its kinda like either a chore or your being horny, other wise its fine. Also YOU CAN GO THROUGH THE DESKS!!!

really cool movement mechanics. some girl kept loosing her pants, quite smexy. 10/10 humour. 10/10 teacher. sad the game doesn't have the freaky freaky scene with the teacher. loved the character designs, so much personality. really difficult puzzles. some girl made me act like a dog. WOOF, WOOF. PLAY THIS GAME!
