About UC Love

ABOUT
UC Love is a humorous, touching, and wholesome anime-style dating simulator with characters that have three-dimensional personalities. The characters are personifications of many of the University of California schools + a few surprises ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)! There are various locations to visit, minigames to play, and secrets to find!

GAME FEATURES
  • 5 Romanceable UC Girls (Left to Right: UCB, UCLA, UCI, UCR, and UCSB)
  • Two Secret Romanceable Characters ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
  • Cameos of the other UCs!
  • Unique Storylines for Each Romanceable Character!
  • 4 Mini-Games!
  • Sprite Sets and Various Expressions!
  • 9 Endings to explore!
  • Chill original music!
  • Wholesome vibes and funny jokes!

TIPS
  • Finish the game by successfully asking one of the characters to the dance!
  • Each UC Lover has a set schedule that they follow each day. Explore the campus and pay attention to when you see your love interest in a particular place!
  • Your UC Lover will only agree to go on a date with you if they are close to you, and will only agree to go to the dance with you if they are really close to you!
  • Love interests will be more open and interested with you as they get closer with you! To build a relationship with someone, talk to them repeatedly and/or give them gifts! Each love interest has a loved gift, liked gifts, and disliked gifts, except for a certain Mr. Tree in the Mud, who hates all gifts.
  • If you are at a dating stage, do well with the date minigame for some extra brownie points!
  • After you are able to successfully ask them out on a date, you may be able to ask them out to the dance! :)

EXTRA TIPS (SPOILERS)
  • If you're looking to date Tommy, you can find him by taking a walk in the garden at night! :)
  • If you're looking to date Stan Ford, you can find him in the field after you beat the gym minigame on hard! :)
  • There are 5 cameo UCs hidden around the campus! Explore the campus to find: Mercedes (UCM), Diana (UCSD), Crystal (UCSC), Davina (UCD), Francesca (UCSF), Hailey (UC Hastings)

Not recommended Nov 6, 2024
"UC Love" is a rather mediocre dating sim set at the University of California and, well, not offering that much of interest to gamers, unless you're a huge fan of both UC and dating sims. The player counts for the game indicate not that many people are. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs to pretend they're mobile phones or Commodore 64s. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 14 concurrent players... this is a dismal publi…

This is a rather simple, yet enjoyable little dating sim. It's different from others I've played in that it doesn't really follow a story. Instead, you choose where to go and whether you want to interact with any of the other characters. While this isn't massive, it should take less than an hour to finish one character arc which is nice in itself.

A charming little dating game, the character art is cute and the personalities are entertaining enough. It doesn't really waste time with unrelated content everything is pretty focused on you either flirting with a character or collecting money to get them gifts, and it does it very well, I had a lot of fun, shame we will probably never get a sequel 8/10
