Our take on Love Notes
The premise foregrounds horror and romance, but the store text gives little indication of the actual interaction structure beyond protagonist and love-interest choices. The central transformation mystery is clear, while the extent of investigation gameplay remains unspecified.
What is Love Notes?
Love Notes is a horror dating sim set in the world of Love Bites.
Players choose Rachel or Jesse, musicians in the band Spectral Howl, after they wake in an abandoned building with no memory of the previous night. The band has fallen apart, while both characters begin experiencing physical changes, including long teeth, unusual thirst, and daytime sluggishness. The story follows their investigation into what happened and what they are becoming. Romance is available with five characters: Tristan, Valerie, Nathan, Zoe, and Kasumi. Each can be pursued by either protagonist, with a distinct route for each pairing. Characters from Love Bites appear in secondary roles, but the two games tell separate stories.
