Overview:
LoveSick Darlings is a visual novel focused on creating and testing the limits of teenage relationships. It explores friendship, high school life, love, and everything in between. The game plays with tropes and expectations found in romance visual novels and dating sims by undercutting this often-romanticized period of everyone’s lives with a realistic edge.
Syd, our protagonist, moved into town at the start of this year. He’s become best friends with a girl called Maisy who lives on the same street with him – and by extension, her friends too. Over time he has become a natural part of this diverse group of friends. The school year is growing closer to its end, and Syd’s friends are pressuring him into asking his crush out to the formal at the end of the year. Will he be able to do it? How will his friendships hold up around him as he makes these big decisions towards the end of this high school year? And what if someone in his own group of friends sees him as more than… “just a friend”? It’s up to you to make these hard decisions and deal with these situations as Syd to decide the fate of him and all of his friends.
And that is where our story begins.
v1.6Demo
– Fixed another error where Steph references Social Events that haven’t taken place yet if you spend too much Free Time with her.
– Fixed the Player Review not detecting obscure combinations of choices and outcomes and skipping to the end accidentally.
– Fixed several visual and animation bugs. Same with music loops and cues.
– Sharpened dialogue in the beginning section to flow better and more accurately represent characters (Syd used to say “like” a lot! That’s so not in-character for him. I fixed a lot of those kinds of inconsistent mannerisms for the cast.)
– Inserted about two dozen extra invisible variables the demo can trigger that won’t pay off until you play the full game.
– Fixed countless typos and awkward sentences.
