To be honest, from playing Java games in the Saipan era to now, what galgame and otome game have you never touched? But a few days ago, I accidentally came across "You Are the Light in My Eyes" on tap. I originally thought it was a trick of cheating by changing clothes to get money, but I ended up playing it all night long 😂
Let's talk about the picture first. Although it is a 2D drawing, the expression changes and body details of the two male protagonists are quite well done. The cold manager has a "keep away from strangers" temperament, but there is gentleness hidden in his eyes. When the Sunshine Prince smiles, it really makes people's hearts skip a beat. As a veteran player who has been playing games for twenty years, this kind of delicate character creation can be regarded as the first echelon in the current mobile game market.
The developers obviously put a lot of thought into the plot design. It's not the kind of mindless post, but it really requires you to gradually increase your favorability through dialogue options and daily interactions. Each choice will affect the subsequent plot direction, and even affect your ability to unlock the hidden ending. My first line was the manager line, and the transition from indifference to gradual trust was very realistic, unlike some games where you dig your toes into the ground.
What surprised me the most was the interactive system. In addition to regular text message chats and gift giving, there are also real-time QTE interactions in the coffee shop. For example, giving the wrong coffee will deduct favorability, and receiving complaints from customers may trigger special plots. This sense of immersion reminds me of the excitement I felt when playing "Love and the Producer" in the early years, but to be honest, the quality of the plot text in this game is much better, at least there are no Mary Sue lines that make people laugh.
By the way, this game is completely free, with no in-app purchases. The developer Taoteng Interactive Technology seems to have been making functional games before. This time it is testing the otome market, and its sincerity is indeed perfect. However, it can also be seen that it is a small team. There will occasionally be a loading delay when switching between character portraits, but it is not harmful.
In short, if you are tired of those 648 krypton gold drawing cards at every turn and want to find a pure love development experience, this game is worth a try. Especially veteran players over 30 years old should be able to get the thrill of youth 😌
