It's like you can predict the future, reviewing it just before the localization announcement xD The fake dating trope is one of my favourites so I'm definitely excited about a light hearted otome with that in it
Hahaha, I’m just lucky I can play the Japanese ones! This was a good timing review though, I must admit 😂 It was incredibly light hearted, there were moments that were emotional, but it was more watching the LI develop in their own way, like their journey? I really liked Riku 🥰
Definitely going to buy this for my next trip to play 💕 it’s so hard to find console games that aren’t super long and story heavy! I love a nice light romance 💘 oh and people working towards their dreams is always a bonus for me!
It’s such a cute game, and I felt relieved playing it because before this I played Charade Maniacs that consisted of 9 characters and I was getting a little fed up of long games tbh 😅 It’s very motivating to see an MC working towards her dreams 🥰 some of the bad endings are so depressing though 🤣 but fortunately you can’t take them very seriously because of how unrealistic/brief they are!
Confirmed localization for LoverPretend! Yay! Was this video a premonition? We'll never know. Thanks for giving this game a review. I've heard that this game had some pretty critical reviews so I wasn't sure if a localization was ever gonna happen. I personally would enjoy a short, sweet game about pretend lovers. After all the heavy and long otome games I've experienced, I need something different. While I do enjoy a good story, I also enjoy great characters and character interactions, especially those doki-doki moments, and this seems to be right up by alley. I'm eyeing that childhood friend route, because I'm such a sucker for those. I was actually the least interested in this game out of the 4 announced today, but I've changed my mind. Either way, I'm pre-ordering every otome that gets released, even if my backlog is ever growing.
If every game I review became localised I’d be reviewing a game 3 times a week 🤣 Tbh I was surprised because this doesn’t seem like the usual title Aksys would choose to localise. So often, they choose the dark serious stories. It’s definitely a fun game, particularly if you need a breather between tragic routes or if you just like light hearted games more, and all the characters were so cute in their own way 😍 Kazuma was my 2nd favourite! The childhood friend trope is one of my favourites too 🥰 I do hope you enjoy this game when it gets released!
Great review as always!,I’m glad I discovered your channel.Your reviews have helped me a lot with deciding wether or not I want to purchase some games.☺️
I laughed when I watched the who would I recommend this game to 😂 sounds like it isn’t a game for me 😂😂😂 But I loveee the pretend trope so much so I think I’ll give this a go when I’m in the mood to read something lighter :3 the guys are also so cute >.< Also, your clips are so cuteeeee!
It is a really sweet game, but yeah if you’re looking for something serious and deep and lengthy… Lol As far as I know it’s unlocalised but if enough people show support/interest then it may get translated, who knows! Thank you! Thought I’d make myself look extra girly 🤣
@@RestingPeachFace Oh wow really! That's so good! They're really localising a few this year are'nt they o.o I must say I am mostly super excited for Olympia Soirée \>.
@@yuralala742 We are suddenly so spoilt for choice! 😍 Olympia soirée is so good, I hope it’s as big of a hit in the English speaking communities as it was in Japan! Bustafellows is fun, esp once you start each character route! I just completed Limbo’s route, it was good 🥰
When you talked about Kazuma and I saw what he looked like, I immediately thought of Yuusuke from Brother's Conflict. They're both redheads and knew the protagonist prior to the game's events and I'm such a sucker for childhood friends to lovers, so I'll definitely play his route. I can't wait till there's a release date so I can pre-order this game! As much as I've enjoyed more mature otome games like Piofiore and CollarxMalice, I could use an otome game that's more laidback and cutesy. Thanks for making this review!
Ahhh yeah I see that! And omg me too, the childhood friend trope is so cute esp when it’s obvious the guy is into the MC and she’s just so clueless >.< the moe is real! 😂 I agree, there has been a lot of emotional rollercoaster titles, we need more comedy lol. LoverPretend, Variable Barricade and Cupid Parasite are all much needed imo 😁
i commented asking if you'd recommend it for japanese practice and right after you answered in the video haha! i'll keep it in mind for my next japanese game thanks
I think it’s a good one! One thing to note is that there are a couple of “specialist” lingo about film and production, but usually a dictionary option pops up to help with understanding what it is. Other games I believe are suitable for beginners include Yunohana Spring, Brothers Conflict and Kenka Bancho Otome 🙂 I need to make a video on it actually!
@@RestingPeachFace oh i thought yunohana spring looked cute! i'll check out the others too, thank you! if you ever get the chance, a video would be fantastic. i'm pretty decent but jargon kills meeee. like i started code realize and i'm okay until impey starts talking about steam engines??? like please, i don't need to know!
Sadly it doesn't exist in English since I don't speak and read Japanese. But it sounds like a relaxing and romantic game. I will hope and wait for it to come out in English. 😊
Yeah, I wasn’t sure whether to make reviews on unlocalised games, but some people told me they were interested as it would give an idea of what is out there particularly if they want to play them in the future or if a localisation company asks for what games they would want localised etc. So I’ll be making more of these now I think!
Thank you! And I hope so too, it would be a nice edition to everyone’s game collection considering there are so many tragic/serious titles available already! 🙂
@@RestingPeachFace Exactly. Another series I'd love to get an English release is the "Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side." And they finally have a Switch game.
Yesss! GS4 right!? I’m tempted to do a let’s play of it on my channel as I don’t think it would be too difficult. I love how there is so much gameplay in it.
Yeah, all the others haven’t been localised so it’s hard to say whether this one will be >.< I wish it got localised though, I think it would actually be quite a big hit! For the time being, when it gets released I’ll do a let’s play and fan translate it. It’s something, even if people can’t play it themselves 😭

@@RestingPeachFace Ohhh oopsy! Hopefully it does! I feel like a lot has been this year :')
@@yuralala742 Just to let you know, Aksys oddly enough chose this game as one of their titles for localisation!

So excited for the English release!! 😄❤️
Me too! I love it how the moment I made this review it got announced for localisation 😂
@@RestingPeachFace you should make reviews more often 👀😂
@@icalivy Lol!!! If only I had such magical powers 🤣
Regardless, I’ll certainly be very busy over the next few weeks!

Hi Lilu. Great review and I hope this game will get an English release.

Right? But yeah, I’m sad that series may never get an English release. Come on, Japan. Stop hogging all the good games. 🥺

Im gonna get this Game for myself for Christmas haha🤍😆 so Glad its Out in english now
It’s a really fun one! Thanks for watching this review btw, it’s my worst one quality wise so rewatching it makes me cringe 😂
