I Need to Be in Love

I Need to Be in Love is a 3D dating sim for players who want a life-simulation romance with room for both tenderness and manipulation. It has a grounded, character-driven tone that leaves the moral direction up to the player.

Story

Arriving in Moon Town with no family and little money, the player must find their footing from scratch. The town is populated by residents with their own agendas, and the choices made toward them shape a story that can end in love, control, or something else entirely.

Gameplay

Play unfolds as a sandbox of everyday decisions: training the body, building skills, picking a career, and pursuing or steering relationships with the town's residents. Interactions are handled through point-and-click exploration, and how a character treats others can range from honest courtship to outright manipulation. Character creation lets players set their own gender identity and sexual orientation, and romantic paths adjust accordingly.

Features

• Character customization covering sexual orientation and gender identity, including trans man and trans woman options
• Branching relationships that can turn toward romance, betrayal, or quiet control
• A cast of Moon Town residents each carrying their own hidden motives
• Point-and-click exploration paired with RPG-style progression of skills and career
