True Love Story is a series of four dating sims (as distinct from the similar but unrelated title True Love). True Love Story and True Love Story 2 were released by ASCII for the PlayStation. True Love Story 3 and True Love Story: Summer Days, and yet... were released by Enterbrain for the PlayStation 2.
The True Love Story land are notable for their geko, or walk-home system. When the player asks a girl to walk home with him from school, the game enters a special conversation mode. In this mode, in addition to the usual long-term, strategic "love meter", the girl you are conversing with has a short-term, tactical "heartthrob meter" representing her level of immediate interest in the conversation with you. The player is given the choice of approximately 30 topics of conversation to choose from, and the heartthrob meter will increase or decrease based on the appropriateness of his selections. High heartthrob can then be leveraged to ask the girl out on a date, or simply to effect a permanent increase in her love meter.
Later True Love Story games added further complexity to this system, such as a "combo" system measuring the number of consecutive good choices of conversation topics. In large part because of this system, True Love Story is one of the most gameplay-rich dating sims.
An OVA based on the True Love Story; Summer Days, and yet... story was released in 2003. It was 3 episodes long.
True Love, as opposed to Fake Love, should be pure and for real. It's unknown how true or far along a virtual video romance delves into the emotion of love but every beholder takes the experience in a unique manner.
True Love Story - Summer Days, and yet... : It's summertime once again and love is in the air. Encounter six new girls fresh out of high school - hit them up for light conversation and level up your love power with savvy and charm. The bulk of the gameplay consists of the conversation system where a series of inquiries are fired off at the girls and their level of interest depends on your line of questioning and attendant affability.
