LoverPretend

About

LoverPretend is a visual novel where you play as Chiyuki, a student balancing schoolwork and part-time jobs while chasing two goals: becoming a scriptwriter and tracking down her missing father. Clues about his identity lead her to a film project tied to her late mother’s unfinished drama. She lands a role as the love interest in the film, but the relationship is strictly pretend, at least until lines blur. Choices shape interactions with cast members, each hiding their own secrets. The story leans into slow-burn romance and family mystery, with dialogue-driven scenes and branching paths. While it lacks flashy mechanics, the focus on character quirks and quiet emotional beats resonates. Players appreciate the relatable protagonist and the way her growth ties to both personal and narrative stakes. A modest but heartfelt pick for fans of narrative-driven dating sims.

Storyline

The main character Chiyuki lives alone and spends all of her time studying for university and doing part-time work. She has two dreams in life. The first is to become a scriptwriter, which was also a dream of her late mother. Another is to find her father who she never met. From the clues left behind, it turns out her mother was writing a drama script before she was born. “Perhaps those involved in the drama may know something…” At the same time, she began working as an assistant to a scriptwriter for a film that the sons of the drama staff are making. Chiyuki tries looking for information while working her new job, but in a twist of events ends up cast in the role of their love interest…? This is a fake love role, not true love. Can Chiyuki draw up a script about fake lovers, while not knowing anything about falling in love herself?
