A downloadable game for Windows

"I'll always remember you, Megumi..."

MY DEAR☆LOVE is a crossover between visual novel and stat-raising simulation game, inspired by classic titles in the genre such as the Princess Maker series and shoujo manga series such as Baby & Me (Aka-chan to Boku) and Aishiteruze Baby. You play as high school girl Megumi Takahashi (first name renameable) who takes on the task of taking care of kindergartener Katsuya, the little boy cousin of her crush, Atsuya Suzuki!

Currently the anticipated release date is late 2024 to early 2025. The game will be released for Windows and will be available in Japanese and English. See our Kickstarter campaign for more details.

- Story -

Cherish this moment, and it will become forever—

During her summer job at an amusement park, Megumi meets a lost little boy. The boy is reunited with his parents very shortly, leaving Megumi relieved but sad about their short time together.

A year later, Megumi is in the same class as her crush, the ever-popular Atsuya. In spite of this opportunity to get closer to him, she is satisfied with just watching him from afar...

One day in the neighborhood park, Megumi sees Atsuya with a little boy and mistakes the boy for Atsuya's child. Turns out, the little boy is the lost child she met at her summer job!

Atsuya explains that the little boy is his cousin Katsuya, who had come to stay with Atsuya for a month while his mother is away. However, as the only child of a single parent, Atsuya is not confident in taking care of little kids. Megumi, wanting to help her crush, takes on the task of baby-sitting along with Atsuya.

Megumi's life takes a turn as she becomes closer to the two boys...


今を大切にすれば、想いはいつまでも輝く――

高校一年の夏休みに、遊園地の迷子センターでアルバイトをしている恵美(めぐみ)は、一人の男の子を預かることになった。
ようやく同行している保護者は姿を見せ、これよりもうこの子とはもう会わないだろう……

高校2年、想い人の敦也(あつや)と同じクラスになることを喜ぶ。
が、文武両道で人気者の敦也はやはり別世界に住む人。
遠くで見つめるだけで良いと……

ある日の夕方、帰り道に公園で子供と話している敦也に遭遇。
隠し子だと思ったら、まさか高校1年頃に出会ったあの迷子だった。

敦也によると、親の都合で甥っ子の勝也(かつや)が敦也の家で1ヶ月を過ごすことになった。しかし、敦也は母子家庭で母親が仕事で留守することが多く、自分では甥っ子の子守りをする自信がないという。
これを機に、恵美は一緒に子守りをすると提案する。

今まで敦也と接点の一つもない人生がこれにより転換点を迎える――
