Lover's Enigma

I've only done the first routes, I still get confused with Kazuki's route since I don't know if there's a route as such or not. Honestly, I wouldn't consider it an otome considering how little romantic interaction there is; if they released some DLC or a continuation, it would help a lot with that. But I loved the story, personally the part about coping with someone's death and how the MC reacts made me feel identified so I appreciate it a lot, also I hope they consider translating it into Spanish and including achievements to see how many endings there are in total, or if there are easter eggs c:

I loved this little gem of a game. I adored all of the characters and learning about them. The art style really stands out and was what initially convinced me to play the demo. The only slightly negative thing I can say is that I wish the story would've been expanded on even more, especially the past. I just liked it so much that I wanted more details because I still had questions that remained unanswered. Also, if you've played many visual novels or dating sims before, you might expect this game to include a certain feature and I was sad that it didn't. This was by design, however, so I can't fault the game for it. If the devs ever decide to release DLC or create a sequel, it'll be a day one purchase for me.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING AND GORGEOUS, WORDS CANT DESCRIBE IT!!!!!! The well written story, deep and emotional character writings really makes you feel what the story is conveying this game isn't js romance imo, it feels deeper than it looks. It's heartbreaking in some parts but its beautiful, i dont know how to description it but give this game a chance it deserves<3

（可能有剧透 请谨慎观看） 我在周一的时候玩了这个游戏的中文demo版 随即就去了steam上想关注后续情况 很惊喜看到完整版已经出了不久 也是火速购入了 我花了20+小时玩这个游戏（有一部分时长因为我是离线玩了没有记录上）嗯…好像还有3张cg没有集齐（然而我真的不知道还有什么线路没有走了 这里有没有什么官方攻略能告诉我这里有多少个结局……） 我以为这个游戏仅仅就是悬疑有点像探案类的） 但是结果竟然是循环还有meta元素吗？！总体上剧情的设定还OK（非常经典。尽管我看了不少这类作品但是还是非常吸引人。）只是感觉叙事节奏可能有点突兀 （游戏体量比较小其实没有很多笔墨写吗。）我游玩的顺序先是haruki-ren-ryota。个人感觉就像是前面一直闹鬼 后面快要结束了才告诉我一堆信息说其实这是个时间循环 总感觉就挺戏剧化的… 比较让我惊讶的是 haruki本人这个有多周目记忆的人 他的线路剧情让我感觉好云里雾里） 反而在ryota线里面我才知道到底是咋回事。（以及ryota线是没有好结局的吗 我打了2次都是be。kazuki没有自己单独的线路吗？我还没有触发过） 单玩一条线路得到的信息并不多也不详细 所以可能只有重置 完成所有线路才能拼凑出事情的全貌 然后加上meta元素的结合 我感觉这种结合其实很有效果 很有趣。只是整个游玩过程下来 我感觉还是有些东西没有讲清楚 也许会有什么新版本或者后日谈吗？） 还有就是 现在的版本已经修复了部分bug 但是我还是遇到了不少游玩上的问题和bug（类似于剧情重复这样的 两段剧情引导你去同一个事件 但当你完成了这个事件 另一个引导剧情还可以触发） 我最喜欢的角色是Haruki。老实说其实他这种有多周目记忆的设定我很吃。但是 当你选择了一个主角 其他角色都要死的设定还是让我感到悲伤。有没有一个我不需要死大家也能活并且打破循环的if结局） 总体上 不管是剧情还是游戏本体程序上的设计 都给我一种半成品的感觉 我还以为会有2周目的剧情呢！相比demo来说 其实完整版还是有点遗憾。（不过其实剧情上比demo润色了很多）但是剧情上我感觉起码是及格了的 因为至少每个角色在哪个时间点干了什么都还圆的回来。可以说的是我一点也不后悔购买这个游戏 我还由衷的希望有一点额外更新内容或者DLC。不管怎么样这个游戏还是给我留下了深刻的印象！

I really loved this game, very fun and scary!! i will die for a ending with Hiroto <33

I've been following the development of Lover's Enigma since the demo and backed it on Kickstarter and it's been amazing getting to play the full product. Gorgeous art, incredible creepy atmosphere, and I'm already so deeply attached to Haruki who I am unashamedly biased towards. I'm really excited to play through the rest of the routes.

i play for kazuki, i fell in love for ren:3 anyways i like this game a lot! i feel like it's been so long since anything affected me this way. usually i don't play horror much because i'm coward lol but i decided to try this game because i got intrested in the characters design (honestly the art is amazing! love the cg's being animated it's so unique) and i love playing otome\dating sims and i'm so glad i did! i had such a fun time. only complaints is that i wish there was more closure ig? or maybe i just wanted more answers and time with the characters. either way i will def reccomend this game, i thought about this game almost everyday since i played fr getting brainrot hahaha

Descubrí el juego el mismo día del lanzamiento, me enamoré de los visuals, de los CGs y de la sipnopsis. Tengo un backlog de otome que mejor no mirarlo pero aun así me ♥♥♥♥ inmediatamente con este. No lo he terminado ni mucho menos pero si me veo con la potestad de recomendarlo en estas nuestras reseñas. Lover's Enigma es un juego hecho con cariño, delicadeza y esfuerzo, tiene sus problemillas si, pero nada que estropee la experiencia de juego. Te encariñas rápido de los personajes, los cuales son muy únicos entre si, pero a la vez tienes esta sensación extraña que algo no funciona como toca, al final la protagonista esta pasando por unos problemas mentales muy grandes y se puede vislumbrar mientras juegas. La música te envuelve muchisimo, tiene una OST magnifica que acompaña mucho el estilo retro horror pixel art en blanco y negro. He terminado mi primera ruta y ya tengo ganas de jugarlo más! A ver que me deparan el resto de rutas y personajes! No acostumbro a jugar otomes en pc, soy más de consolas en ese sentido, pero usando el steam link he podido jugarlo en la tablet y 10/10 lo recomiendo a cualquier persona que le pase lo mismo que a mi! Espero que os animeis a comprarlo y jugarlo por el precio que tiene es un otome excelente! Mención especial a Kazuki! My little meow meow

just started it and i must say this game is INSANELY good and i never expected it to be THIS interesting its definitely worth buying <3

The art style and other visual choices are so unique and stunning! It also does a great job making the player feel spooked and unsettled. I do find that the story feels a little fast? It also has some hiccups if you only focus on one character and then accidentally talk to another boy. They talk to you as if you have had previous interactions before which was mildly confusing. With the pacing feeling fast, I don't get to marinate in learning about the world and characters as much as I personally would like. The slot machine mechanic to have success in different interactions was tricky to figure out for a bit, which maybe is what led me to the bad end? I felt like I made the right choices for Haruki's route so this is my main hypothesis. I see a lot of potential in this idea. I do think the aesthetic and art are worth it. Mostly wish there was a bit more story.
