Love & Legends (Recreation)
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. Follow me on tumblr for development updates.
All writing and background art belongs to Lovestruck Voltage. This is an unofficial recreation of the game since it became defunct.
After a lightning strike, you're teleported to a fantasy world of knights, elves, fairies... and evil queens. And turns out you look just like the evil queen, the one killed three years prior. People in the world either want you in a dungeon or to restart war as their despotic overlord and you have to learn to navigate the world, chosing someone to stay by your side.
The game is currently 180k+ words, with each route averaging ~27k a season with 12 episodes per season.
CHARACTERS
There are seven characters to choose from, each with their unique routes following different plots and variations on the world lore.
- Lord Reiner Wolfson (he/him) - A second-born son of the former leader of his domain, forced to become leader after his family died fighting the Witch Queen. A kind, considerate leader with a love of bad jokes, prepared to but the weight of the world on his shoulders to protect what remains of his loved ones.
- Altea Bellerose (she/her) - A young, gifted wizard who's devoted most of her life to refining her art and fighting for justice. She's deeply curious, quick-witted, and determined to prove herself against those who might dismiss her.
- Prince Iseul Idreis (he/him) - An elven prince with a family history with Reiner's, who served him in war and now takes time to enjoy the peacetime. Laid-back and sharp-tongued, he seems to take nothing too seriously but cares deeply for his friends.
- Saerys (he/him) - The last known demon after the Witch Queen launched a brutal extermination of his people. Isolated and marked, he struggles to find his place in the world. As much as he loves and trusts his allies, he does not believe he has a place among them.
- Sir August Falke (he/him) - Reiner's most loyal knight and fiercely protective of their won peace. He does not allow any threat to pass, even if it leaves him a little uptight. Taking care of his beloved noble steed, Wyndsor Royale, shows off a softer side to him.
- General Helena Klein (she/her) - The Witch Queen's general, former lover, and apprentice, Helena's gift with magic breaks bounds. Though she has a long, dark history of pain, even when she thought it might be love, she hopes for a way to escape.
- General Alain Richter (he/him) - The Witch Queen's longest-standing general and oldest friend, he followed her down an evil path, sowing pain whenever she commanded it, he wants nothing more than to return to a time where he and his love find peace together.

Thx I play love struck when I was younger not really reading the story lines bc ya know tweens hate reading but I really miss the stories and such and was really disappointed when I had found out the game was taken down. Thank you sm Iseul was one of my fav routes
Thank you so much for this project.
Again l am commenting to share my gratitude for this recreation, I have been playing nonstop and have finished the first season for Saerys, Reiner and Alain. And i cant wait to continue on and see future season. Take as long as you need to finish this masterpiece, it means so much to me since this was the very first otome/romance game I ever played so its dear and near to my heart.
Holy hell this is gorgeous?! I do hope you're able to complete this (however long it takes! art takes time and you're just as human as any of us!) because I never did manage to finish any of the routes on the original app (never enough hearts, always newer and shinier routes, you know how it is! iirc one of the only ones I ever DID finish was Reigning Passions Lyris, may be rest in hotness)
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS. I was so sad when the original game got shut down but now l can replay it 🫶
Thank you for reviving this! When the app shut down, I was worried that we would never be able to play it again, but you revived it! Im looking forward to playing it for the first time since the app shut down. The new art looks AMAZING!!!!
I enjoyed this on the original app and was super excited to find it here! Alain and Saerys are my faves!! I've completed as much as I can of Alain's route here and was working thru Saerys'. I'm enjoying it very much and like the new art. Thank you for bringing this here!
I've had an issue tho as I cannot seem to load my saves. I get to the load screen and it asks if I'd like to save again and regardless if I say yes or no I'm returned to start screen. No loading. I'm using it on android. Is there anything else I can try?
Looking at the code this is likely due to the options calling the Return() function to continue onto the next statement. I've never run into that issue myself on PC or android so I don't know why that would suddenly mean return to start, but I'll change the function to instead jump to the next episode instead in the next update later today. Hopefully that will solve the issue.
Heyo, it's Ivory here! This looks awesome and I can't wait to play it.
I did want to note however that Arvanion worked on earlier seasons of August, but I was Altea's writer for her earlier seasons.
Thank you so much for letting me know! I'll edit that description. Your work on the game was incredible :D
