Acerca de esta demo

MY DEAR☆LOVE is a crossover between visual novel and stat-raising simulation game. You play as high school girl Megumi Takahashi (first name renameable) who takes on the task of taking care of kindergartener Katsuya, the little nephew of her crush, Atsuya Suzuki!

• Re-nameable Heroine with Option: You can change the first name of the heroine, Megumi Takahashi, and toggle her side image on/off during the game.
  
• Expressive Character Sprites: Character sprites with different poses and eye-blinking and mouth-moving animation!
  
• Full colour CGs: Experience slice-of-life moments with Katsuya and Atsuya accompanied by beautiful illustrations in Japenese watercolour style.
  
• Stat-raising Simulation: Choose from a list of commands to interact with Katsuya or raise his stats, which includes sociability, intelligence, and fitness. Talking to Katsuya or playing with him will raise his affection for and trust in you, and will also affect your relationship with Atsuya, the romanceable love interest.
  
• Mini Games: Enjoy the interactive cooking mini game!
  
• Multiple Endings: Your relationship with Katsuya and his stats will impact his future and determine the ending of the story. There are possible ending(s) with the male love interest, Atsuya.

Bugs/Errors list
------------------------------------------------------------
1) Parallax in full screen mode during cutting in the mini cooking game - In the step where you cut the ingredients, the knife will not be aligned with your cursor in fullscreen mode. To avoid this, at the tutorial screen, switch to window mode (large) by pressing the F key or F4 key on your keyboard. We are working on resolving this and will provide a fix as soon as possible.
2) Error Message "script exception raised cannot load plugin windowex.dll" - Running the game in a Win 10/11 OS may receive such error message due to our utilization of the game engine KrkrZ and the plugin windowex.dll. To resolve this, the VC runtime package "Microsoft Visual C + + 2010 Redistributable Package (x 86)" (link to Official Microsoft Website) must be downloaded and installed onto the computer. Please download and install the runtime package vcredist_x86.exe. Another game on Steam Return to Shironagasu Island developed with same engine also has an article regarding this issue. Unfortunately, currently this is the only option to resolve this issue.
