Love Is All Around

Love Is All Around is the sort of game title that usually points to romance, routes, and a lot of dialogue, and that is about as far as it is safe to go here. By our assessment, it belongs to the visual-novel and dating-sim side of the medium, where the main pleasure is choosing lines, following character paths, and seeing relationships unfold. The upside of that format is clarity: if you want story-first play, it knows its job. The downside is equally plain: the whole experience stands or falls on writing, pacing, and whether the cast clicks, with little mechanical disguise to hide weak parts. In practice these games are mostly reading and choice-making, so the rhythm is slower than action-minded players expect. Love Is All Around seems made for people who want narrative branches and romance framing, not for anyone looking for systems-heavy play or constant mechanical challenge.
