Love♡Verse (submitted!)

In a world where everybody can feel where their soulmate is, you are a lone Parisian barista who does not share such a feeling. However, everything changes when several people suddenly appear in your life, claiming to be your soulmates…

Oh this was so cute!! I love the concept. I’m a sucker for romance and this just sounds fun. The demo was really enjoyable. There was only one gender hiccup fr me.

I look forward to seeing where this goes!

When we choose our skin it says fare skin it should be fair skin.
That aside it’s a great game.

@Bulk_Biceps

i have a feeling this game is gonna be hilarious

That’s the plan

[Cingulum_diaboli]

Why can we customize the appearance and name of one of the characters?

[Rustem_Khafizov]

To make them more attractive to the player.
Why do they need to be more attractive to the player than the others? That’s a secret

“You don’t feel the Urge…”

MC is canonically aroace. Fin.

Jokes aside… here’s to another valuable contribution to the market for relaxing games that won’t cause anybody heart palpitations! Right? Right???

Mostly right, although there will likely be at least one or two dark moments, especially near the end

@Radiantbliss Happy cake day!

I tend to like “you’re a null” setups (see: Mind Blind), let’s see this one!

Spoilers within

“wander”, not “wonder”

That first option either has one period too many or one period too few (to make it an ellipsis).

I wonder if our null is gonna end up being a vector thing: it’s not that the MC doesn’t have the Urge, but they have more than one soulmate so the pulls cancel each other out. (apropos of nothing, my current highest stat is Rationality)

Is that “togetha” accent or typo?

“so if you are up to a questionable meeting with a complete stranger”

You held on too tight! (to the shift key, and ended up capitalising the “i” in “kinda”.

HOT CHOCOLATE! IT EXISTS IN THIS GAME! I’M NOT FORCED TO POISON MYSELF WITH COFFEE!!! 15/10, would drink again.

“from the other side of the table”

Missing one period to make an ellipsis in the penultimate sentence.

Oooof, T got dumped because their partner got the Urge towards someone else, didn’t they?

@Rustem_Khafizov

Why do they need to be more attractive to the player than the others? That’s a secret

Place your bets, boys, girls, and enbies, place your bets! Cubus or love deity?

Five, you thick dumbass, five.

This is going to be an immense chaos.

[Cingulum_diaboli]

Why did I find it funny? xDDDDDDDD

[Entracte]

Julian: passed out on the floor

MC, Léonie:

[JBento]

It’s funny cos it’s true!

[Big_fan1231]

So many fun WIPs coming out recently!!. Loved reading this, wondering how many people have the urge towards MC and how long have they been keeping it a secret from us

Edit: Read the masterpost, so all the ROs are introduced. So one is hiding their feelings

[Entracte]

Currently fascinated by Noël, Léonie, and Tris in equal measure. This whole concept is adorable - coincidentally, I’ve just recently been wondering what one of those mid-2010s Tumblr Soulmate AU posts would look like IRL. You’ve hit the nail on the head.
