Love♡Verse

Note: I am writing this review from memory. It has been a while since I played this game. As of this writing, I do not know if there is anywhere online to play this game, as dashingdon no longer exists.

Working in a cafe in Paris, you discover the Urge, which seems to make people romantically drawn to you. Much of the plot is around getting to know the different ROs who are drawn to you, and finding out more about them. While it is mostly a lighthearted romance game, some parts can be dark and violent, so be warned. Rather interestingly, the story later reveals that the urge is connected to a very controversial romantic practice. (Spoiler - click to show) Love Locks.

If I recall correctly, I romanced the assistant working at the cafe. There was plenty of romance, including a romantic trip to another country, and a fairly explicit romance scene at one part. The game also goes through various famous locations in Paris, another touch I liked.

As a romance game, there aren't really any stats here, but you will need to keep track of your relationships with various ROs. In addition, there are also plenty of customization options for your character, basically name, gender and physical attributes. Hey, it's a romance game.

This game was originally submitted to Hosted Games. I am unsure what happened, but HG ultimately did not publish the game. The author released it on dashingdon for free, but did not migrate the title with the recent closure of dashingdon, so it no longer appears to be playable unless someone had saved a copy.
