I’ve Fallen For You! 1) This game incorporates features from many FMV games. It has a similar feel to Knowledge or Know Lady (KoKL) in terms of item usage (instead of collecting items to use, you pick an item to bring with you, featuring a Cantonese female protagonist, and more interesting mini-games). The interface design is similar to Love is All Around (LiAA), with features like favorability increase and decrease, collection of Easter eggs, actors' voting leaderboard, behind-the-scenes ending videos, and advancing to the next chapter requiring sufficient overall favorability. It also follows some features from Charming Hearts (CH), such as the MC character, ending style, and a horror plot. 2) This game has 7 chapters and 8 female protagonists. However, the last chapter is a personal ending chapter for each of the 6 female protagonists. The other 2 female protagonists have hidden endings. 3) The most interesting part of this game is the plotlines design, with the first and second rounds of play (choosing different options). It’s like two movies with almost entirely different scenes that lead to the same storyline. So, if you haven’t played this game, don’t choose all the options in the first round; pick only one option. In the second round, choose a different option. The Pros 1) The UI in this game is very creative and is the most beautiful one. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3367547241 2) The mini-games are quite fun and have great replay potential. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3367547541 3) The plotline is very well made; it can give you two entirely different scenes for your first and second playthroughs if you choose different options. It's like two movies, created based on the choices you make. 4) It's like KoKL, but you pick different items to bring with you, which changes the scenes or leads to different plotlines, and results in different favorability. This can happen in the current chapter or in subsequent chapters. 5) The filming quality is excellent, and it has its own creative style, especially during the selection of options. 6) The English subtitles are not based on machine translation, but there are no subtitles in the behind-the-scenes ending video. The Cons 1) Each scene is too short, which causes the plot to be easily forgettable. 2) This game follows CH's bad endings style, which is not a good approach as it feels meaningless without proper explanations of what happens. 3) In Chapter 7, when there is not enough favorability, the option for the MC to confess to the girl should be locked, as they do not have a good relationship. The MC should not attempt to do this, doing the confess with no favor and get rejected is meaningless ending. And the scene, where the girl likes the MC coming to her and then rejects him, doesn’t match. The Characters : 1) We can see the female protagonists' horoscope sign (Sun sign) in their profile, but this is not enough to understand the characters, as their personalities are like the combination of their Sun and Rising signs. Sun sign - inner self ( core personality, objectives, life goals ) - can be known by the birthday Rising sign - outer self (actions, behavior) - can be known by observing that person (without birth chart) Character Sun Rising Other Wang Yi Chen Aquarius Pisces Aries Song Jing Leo Gemini Xu Xinqing Taurus Capricorn Tracy Scorpio Sagittarius Yu Anxia Aries Libra Jiang Mi Capricorn Gemini Kawase Nana Taurus Capricorn Aries Selina Virgo Leo The Conclusion and Score : 1) The item usage in this game would feel like KoKL, and it introduces a new way to show different scenes and plotlines in the current and subsequent chapters based on the items you bring. This gives a similar feel to KoKL. However, the mini-games in this game are interesting and fun, making the gameplay experience better than KoKL. 2) This game follows CH's MC speaking style, which is a very good character. However, the game follows CH's bad ending style, which is not a good approach, as it feels meaningless without proper explanations of what happens in some endings. 3) For LiAA similarity, it is a good approach to follow LiAA features like favorability increase and decrease, actors' voting leaderboard, and behind-the-scenes ending videos. As for the 'advancing to the next chapter requiring sufficient overall favorability,' this game sets the requirement very low, which brings no trouble to the player, except that some endings may present this challenge. This way, it doesn't spoil the first round play by choosing all options. 4) This game is very well made, and its quality is Tier S. The creativity in its UI design, plotlines, filming style, and mini-games is incredible good. The songs in this game are also very good. However, the love stories in this game aren't presented very well. It shows the female protagonists loving the MC, but as the MC, I didn't feel much romantic connection from him towards the female protagonists, except for those who knew him in the past, which can be considered as having had a good relationship before. The filming needs to showcase more emotional depth to help everyone truly feel it. 10/10 (masterpiece) With the quality and fun, this game surely deserves the same score as KoKL, and it has more features than that especially the creativity in this game is very good.
