Inspiration

LOVE ON: A Virtual Journey with Miyuki

"LOVE ON" is a visual novel game that draws inspiration from Miyuki, a cherished character from the popular web novel "How to Ruin a Love Comedy." Players are whisked away on a touching quest, assisting Miyuki in her rise to stardom as she aims for one million subscribers on her music live stream.

This adventure transcends the realm of mere gameplay; it's a comprehensive experience. With the integration of VR and MR technology, you're not just playing a game—you're living within Miyuki's world, sharing in her travels and personal growth.

LOOKSTEN, known for its successful releases like "Archery Land" and "Shooting Star VR" for PICO VR, is set to narrow the gap between players and the game world even further with a romance-driven narrative and a compelling female protagonist at its heart.

Adding an innovative layer to this immersive experience, "LOVE ON" will introduce 'skinship interaction' technology, enabling players to experience a tactile connection with Miyuki, thus fostering a deeper emotional investment in her story.

As an extension of this already robust virtual experience, an MR version will be launched post the VR release, intended to further solidify the players' attachment to the characters and enrich the bonds they share.
