Princess lover! ( jap. プ リ ン セ ス ラ バ ー! , Purinsesu Rabā! ) is a Ren'ai adventure - eroge by the game developer Ricotta. It was first released for the PC as an adult game on June 27, 2008. The game was later adapted by various media such as light novels , manga , anime series and OVA .
Game mechanics
The game uses the usual Ren'ai-Adventures game mechanics: the game requires little interaction from the player, who spends most of the time reading the protagonist's written dialogue and inner thoughts at the bottom of the screen. At irregular intervals, the player finally arrives at decision points where he can choose from several options. According to his choice, he can influence the course of the action. Based on his decisions, the plot in the advanced game is divided into four different storylines, each of which goes into greater detail on one of the female protagonists and the story associated with her. In order to be able to play all four storylines, the player must consequently play through the game several times and steer the story in the desired direction through the correct selection of options.
development
Princess lover! is the first game from the newly formed game developer Ricotta. The small development team worked under the leadership of Shōta Onoue, who designed the scenario and had previously worked for Tactics on games such as Tenshi no Himegodo . The artistic direction was taken over by Kei Komori, who also designed the characters. He had previously worked on several dojin games , but later also worked on the second game of Ricotta Walkure Romance .
Publications
The game was first published on June 27, 2008 as a limited edition, which contained the game on a DVD, which was playable on the PC under Microsoft Windows . In addition to the game, the limited edition also included the maxi single Songs From Princess Lover! with in the pack.
On January 28, 2010, a version of the game for the PlayStation 2 was released , which is suitable for all age groups. For this purpose, certain action sections have been revised and expanded, and the graphics as a whole have been refreshed. Another new storyline follows the story of Ayano Kaneko, who previously only played a minor role. On November 8, 2013, the PC version was released again in a download version.
Adaptations

The game was first adapted by the author Utsusemi ( 空 蝉 ) as a 18 and over light novel series. The drawings that illustrated the stories and adorned the cover were from Hyūma Yoshi ( 吉 飛 雄 馬 ).
