Demo now released on Itch.io for Mac and PC
An Everyday Love is a slice-of-life, contemporary otome in which players can customize their protagonist, romance, and friendship, figuring out what it takes to find (and keep) an everyday love.
Being young is the best - you’re full of energy, relentlessly optimistic, and can take on as many risks as you want . . . is a saying that has never applied to you. No, you’re tired and just trying to make it through each day. As a 24-year-old marketing assistant living in the city, day-to-day life is difficult enough, and you’ve had to put your dream of writing a novel on the wayside. After your boss asks you to complete a new assignment at work, you unwittingly begin a new chapter in your life, allowing you to pursue romance, strengthen your friendships, and take a leap to fulfill your dream. The choices you make will determine your success. No matter how much you may have struggled in the past, maybe an everyday love is still possible for you . . .
- Adrian - The upbeat and easily flustered personal trainer. Despite his easy-going nature, he doesn’t appreciate being condescended to and values your willingness to accept him and his eccentricities.
- Ezra - A serious analyst who’s known for being direct and meticulous. He previously worked for a larger company and left without an explanation, his private life unknown to his co-workers. Still, he’s not unkind and seems to respect your work ethic.
- Logan - The polite but mysterious senior manager who’s widely admired by his colleagues . . . even as they simultaneously gossip about how his uncle, the CEO, may have given him the role. His reserved demeanor belies a perceptive eye that can intuit the emotions of those around him . . . including you.
- Wordcount - TBA, estimated 3-5 hours gameplay for each full route
- CGs - Six special images per character
- Extras - Image Gallery and unlockable bonus stories
- Customizable MC - Rename the main character and select her skin color and body type (3 skin tones and 2 body types). This character will appear in special CGs.
- Choice Variation - Make choices that customize, advance, or deter romance and/or friendship
- Endings - A best ending, worst ending, and two neutral endings per character
- Bonus Stories - Two bonus stories for each love interest, unlocked through completing the best and worst endings for their respective routes.
- Optional NSFW content (no graphic images, only written descriptions) - Players can decide if they want a sweet or spicy romance without impacting the good/bad ending outcome. Consent is emphasized multiple times, allowing players to change their mind at multiple points, all with their own fluffy alternatives! In the main game, there are a bunch of inappropriate jokes (mainly in the forms of puns), so the story is still intended for a mature audience regardless of whether or not the NSFW content is explored.
- TW: Medical trauma, death, workplace abuse, biphobia, family abandonment, car accident injury
- Current demo has two choices - one that impacts how each love interest sees you and the route selection (where demo ends)
- Image Gallery and About/Credits section will be more polished in the full game
- Full game will be free when released (tentative spring 2022)
- Further updates will be viewed on the Itch.io Dev Blog, Twitter,, and my Patreon!
