About WTC : Love's Labour's Lost
WTC : Love's Labour's Lost is the third and final side-story in the "Welcome To... Chichester" visual novel series. This episode concentrates on Grendel's past.
The city of Chichester, England was once an unassuming and lawful place. located on the southern tip of England. However, with the arrival of the megalomaniacal Grendel Jinx and her put-upon "friend", this soon changes as Grendel works her way into all aspects of local governance. Not wanting to see another place fall under the control of Grendel, the protagonist devises a plan to take Grendel back to America but comes up against opposition in the form of Cindi Eglantine, the local tourist guide and Autumn Shaw, “The Violet Hotel” over-worked waitress/cleaner. They devise a counter-plan together, although neither would realise the cost of stopping the protagonist.The Council of the UnseenFounded by Abigail Herrera and Frederick Jinx as a means of exacting revenge for the suffering they endured throughout their lives, the Council of the Unseen is dedicated to achieving world domination. Its tools of influence include espionage, extortion, blackmail, sabotage, and propaganda. While the Council typically refrains from killing, it is fully prepared to do so if deemed necessary.The Council's main base is located somewhere in America, operating under the guise of a legitimate corporation, Mr. Nibbles Fortune Holdings. They maintain listening stations and satellite bases around the globe, gathering information to manipulate people, corporations, nations, and even presidents at will.However, much to Abigail's frustration, other younger and more reckless organizations also aim to rule the world. Adding to her irritation, The Council's plans for domination are persistently thwarted by their nemesis: The Phoenix Custodians.The Phoenix CustodiansThe Phoenix Custodians were formed shortly after The Council's inception—or so its "official history" claims. According to this same account, their funding is provided by all the democratic nations of the world.The protagonist, an ex-computer programmer, was recruited by The Phoenix Custodians following a devastating terrorist attack on their home city. The protagonist’s ideals—favouring thoughtful problem-solving over "shoot first, ask questions later" tactics—were not universally popular within the organization. After completing their training, the protagonist was assigned a suicide mission targeting Grendel Jinx, the kleptomaniacal and megalomaniacal daughter of Abigail Herrera and Frederick Jinx.Defying all expectations, the protagonist not only survived the encounter with Grendel but also saved her from a nearly fatal, self-inflicted explosion. This earned the protagonist Grendel's "friendship" (at great financial expense) and drew the attention of her parents, Abigail and Frederick.As a reward for a "successful mission", the protagonist is put in charge of a department tasked with combating The Council and similar organizations—though their office is nothing more than a converted broom cupboard, and their employees are openly hostile.

✦ AI summary
Players consistently praise the visual novel's standout voice acting and narration, calling it among the best they've experienced in the genre, along with well-written humor, engaging dialogue, and multiple satisfying endings that encourage replay. The main criticisms are that the story may not appeal outside its target otome audience, the protagonist being referred to as "player" rather than their chosen name breaks immersion somewhat, and some find the narrative occasionally meandering compared to earlier entries in the series.
[i]WTC: Love's Labour's Lost[/i] is a visual novel developed and published by Triority Interactive Novels. It is the third game in the [i]Welcome To... Chichester[/i] (thus, the [i]WTC[/i]) series. You take on the roles of the protagonist (you can choose either to play as a male or female character) and Grendel Jinx. Grendel is up to her usual antics, wanting to take over the city of Chichester, England through bribery and other unlawful, questionable means. Since the protagonist is aware of Grendel's intentions and wants to stop her, they have a plan to take Grendel back to America. However, two staff members (Cindi, a tour guide, and Autumn, a waitress) at the hotel, where the protagonist and Grendel are staying, are made aware of the plan, but they're worried that harm might befall Grendel, so they have a counter-plan to stop the protagonist. Cindi and Autumn intentionally make Grendel stay at the hotel and ask her to regale them with one of her stories about her past, and that's where I'll end my story synopsis to avoid spoilers and all that. XD As for the gameplay, it consists of the main story itself as well as recap stories upon initially opening up the game. It is r…6 found this helpful
This is probably the visual novel with the best voice acting I've ever seen. Usually I find it so flat and mechanic, but it was really great here! The conversations were actually humorous and I enjoyed the different endings, though it took me 3 attempts to get the Good Ending hahah I would recommend that you try it!3 found this helpful
Recommended ★★★★★ I had such a great time with this visual novel! The story is engaging from start to finish, with well-written dialogue and memorable characters that really draw you in. Each route feels unique, and the pacing is just right — never too fast, never too slow. The narration is fantastic, and the voice acting brings the characters to life beautifully. It’s easy to get emotionally invested, and I found myself wanting to explore every possible ending just to see more of the world and its characters. If you enjoy a mix of humor, heartfelt moments, and immersive storytelling, this is absolutely worth your time. Highly recommended!2 found this helpful
First I'd like to thank Triority Interactive Novels for the opportunity to look at one of their offerings. I didn't really know what otome offerings were so I thought; sure, why not? As a retired guy, I am so far outside the target audience I can't really say much about the story as it was unable to hold my interest, so I'll speak to things I noticed in the couple of hours I spent there. I like anime/hentai and the art is nice. This is a RenPy game, and while RenPy can be twitchy, I had no issues. The English translation of the story is consistently above average. The story is voice acted and can read itself to you. The voice actors do not use the name you assign the MC, instead referring to you as 'player' throughout the game. This doesn't help the otherwise pretty fair voice acting. Will this offering appeal to it's intended audience? That is a question I can not answer as I am not now, nor have I ever been a part of that group (tween age girls.)1 found this helpful
Triority's latest and greatest; all the usual characters and hijinks are there, and it's a big story (if a little wafflier than usual). LLL Features substantially improved visuals and voice acting!
