Love Shore

Visual novels are a fan favorite the world over, but many of them can fall into the repetition of telling the same story in the same way. Love Shore breaks away from the same old grind and brings a fresh new look to the world of visual novels with its striking visuals and engaging plotline.

Love Shore is a striking, diverse Cyberpunk novel that explores queer relationships with a new angle. By making everyone in a world queer to begin with, it frees them to discuss their relationships without that aspect of them being a character twist. Through normalcy, it allows these characters to grow.

Of course, there’s much more to Love Shore than merely this one part. This Cyberpunk tale focuses on two characters with a very serious problem—they’re “S. Humans.” After a fertility crisis for natural humans, cyborgs were invented so that these people could still have children.

These cyborgs were periodically upgraded to mimic growth, and to think and act just like humans. Unfortunately, they were largely shunned and segregated after adulthood because they were not, in fact, human. In terms of the dating aspects, it seems to be a cyber punk version of When The Night Comes, with the same ultra-diverse cast.

True variety in dates

Although this visual novel has a rich backstory, it also has a dating aspect. The options for who you can date are extremely diverse, including an older woman, a cis man, a trans-woman, and more. Just as there is a wide variety of people to date, there’s also a wide range of storylines that follow them.

It’s refreshing to see a dating sim/romance novel where there is more to life than one particular type of relationship. The game also showcases people of color, which is a refreshing change for an often white-washed genre.

Detailed city changes as time progresses

The city you find yourself in is specifically for S. Humans. It’s beautifully detailed, and changes depending on whether it is night or day. As you roam the city, you’ll be given choices that will change the plot. You can run from your past or seize your future. Blend in with the city or destroy it.

The writers made an effort to make as many ‘good’ decisions as bad ones, so that the plot is less a single overarching narrative and more a variety of choices. Live how you want to live and see what happens.

Love Shore has not been released yet, so it is difficult to determine if there are any glitches or problems with the game. From what we can see through demos, interviews, and released content it appears to be a character rich visual novel, with little known about the plot line.

With so much focus on the characters over the plot, it’s hard to tell whether this will be as exciting as it appears, but we can hope that it is a solid game with a story as rich as the diversity.

Pros:

  • Beautiful Graphics
  • Catchy music
  • Diverse characters

Cons:

  • Unknown

Game Reviews

I have heard from a lot of people that Love Shore is one of the more prominent LGBTQ games to be announced over the last few years. It is one of those games where the more I read about it, the more excited I found myself getting. It is a narrative driven story game where your choices truly do matter and the fact it has a cyberpunk style setting makes it something that is even more appealing to me.

S. Humans!

S. Humans are basically at the forefront of the story that this game is trying to tell. What the heck are S. Humans? Well as I said in the intro, Love Shore has a cyberpunk style setting and in this futuristic world the mega corporation, Life S has managed to create humans that are made with their parent's DNA, but are pretty much instantly adults…. Yeah, it is super weird, but that is the basic premise of what is going on here. However, there are gods, gangsters, and more in this epic and crazy story.

Two To Be

There are two S. Humans that we can pick to play as in Love Shore and I like how they have made sure that they are both very different characters. First, we have Sam, Sam is a guy that has found himself in a great deal of trouble and he has just been released from prison and he is trying to get his life together and if trouble just so happens to find him, he can deal with that. We also have a female character called Farrah. Farrah to me is the more interesting character, she is more emotional and she is thrust into this epic battle that features the gods, plus like Sam, she has also found herself just getting out of prison.

So Much To Do!

The amount of content in Love Shore is pretty crazy. We have two characters to play as, but each character has their own set of storylines that they can play through as well as characters that they are able to romance. There are also many different endings as well! This is the kind of game that is going to take you a while to get through and while the gameplay is very typical of a visual novel style of game, I think the choices here have some real weight to them and make you truly think before you decide what you are going to do.

Gritty, But Pretty

I am really digging the whole vibe that this game has going on. I have said it a few times, but Love Shore is set in a cyberpunk kind of world and the artists behind the game have gone all in on this and created a truly awesome looking game world. The characters as well have this very high-quality anime look to them. I have been having a blast watching a lot of the Netflix original anime series that have been popping up lately and the look of this game makes me feel like it could easily be turned into a series.

I highly recommend that you check out the demo on Steam for Love Shore to get a better idea of what is going on. The story and characters are very complex and that is something I am super into. Plus, the world that this game takes place in is one of the most interesting game worlds I have seen a visual novel take place in, in a very, very long time. Be sure to keep a close eye on this one, I have a feeling it is going to be a huge hit.

Pros:

  • I like both the protagonists
  • There is a very interesting cast of characters
  • The story is kind of insane, but they somehow get you to buy into it
  • I am loving the art direction in this game!

Cons:

  • The story is very dense, so you have to pay close attention to what is going on
  • I hope that the epic story has a strong ending to match what we have seen in the demo so far
