Ramune Games has announced Love Advisor -You’re a mess and I adore you!-, a romantic comedy with R18 DLC where you play the role of a “love advisor” at a counselling office for quirky, romantically challenged heroines and act as a temporary boyfriend. No release date has been announced at this time.
Down a shady alleyway in the city lies a suspicious-looking stairway to an underground office… Nestled quietly at the end is a private love counseling agency known as “Making Lovely.” Here, the protagonist works as a “love advisor”. With a storefront like this, it’s no surprise the clientele is anything but normal. That’s right—the only clients that come here are women that are walking red flags in the romance department. “Let’s get one thing straight—I won’t be listening to any advice I don’t like.” “Uh……………” “Hehe, does that make you happy? …Huh, it doesn’t?” “Heyoooo! I heard you’re handing out boyfriends down here!” Every last one of them is a disaster—quirky, awkward, and absolutely hopeless at love. It’s only natural they’re still single… painfully so. “From now on… you will have to treat me like I’m your boyfriend.” And so, the protagonist steps in. Calling out their missteps, offering support, and pushing them forward— all to help them uncover the hidden charms they have within.
