I Need to Be in Love

I Need To Be In Love is a story-driven sim date and visual novel set in Moon Town, where you arrive with nothing but uncertainty after your parents disappear and money runs out. The game features a branching narrative centered on building relationships, managing your time across a dynamic day-and-night cycle, and making choices that permanently alter the town and its residents. You can customize your protagonist's sexual orientation and gender identity, which affects available romance routes and dialogue. The core gameplay involves training your body, developing skills, pursuing careers, and either seeking genuine romance or manipulating relationships for power and control. Moon Town is populated with diverse characters, each with hidden motives and evolving story arcs. Your decisions ripple through the community, changing how NPCs interact with you and each other. Characters you don't romance remain in the world as NPCs with their own lives, ensuring a different experience on each playthrough. The game supports 14 languages and embraces inclusivity through its customization and narrative systems.
