Sept. 2025
Bagel Love Story, developed by 橘子班 and published by NVLMaker, is a charming and heartfelt visual novel that quickly gained popularity following its release on Steam in May 2024. This indie title stands out with its lighthearted yet meaningful narrative, beautiful artwork, and playful chibi-style illustrations, which together create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The game has been well-received by players, boasting a very high rating and a strong fanbase who appreciate its unique blend of romance, personal growth, and humor. The story follows Fan Tong, a recent law school graduate who has been struggling with unemployment for over a year. In an attempt to secure a job at his senior’s law firm, he embarks on a challenging journey of losing weight and experimenting with cross-dressing. Just as he feels overwhelmed by these pressures, his life takes an unexpected turn when Bagel, an upbeat and sunny music student, moves in as his roommate. Bagel’s curious and supportive nature breathes new energy into Fan Tong’s life, and as the two spend more time together, their relationship blossoms into a tender romance filled with laughter and mutual encouragement. The narrative delicately weaves themes of self-acceptance, identity, and perseverance, resonating with players who relate to the struggles of young adults facing societal and personal challenges. What sets Bagel Love Story apart is its fresh approach to romance storytelling, where the protagonist’s efforts to change himself for external reasons intersect with genuine emotional connection. The game thoughtfully explores topics like body image, gender expression, and the pressures of career expectations without losing its lighthearted and optimistic tone. This balance of sincerity and playfulness allows the story to feel both grounded and uplifting. Players get to witness the gradual growth of both characters as they support each other through their individual challenges, making the romance feel earned and heartfelt rather than superficial. Visually, the game is a delight. The use of vibrant, high-quality CG artwork paired with cute chibi-style character designs creates a visually appealing and emotionally expressive experience. The detailed backgrounds and harmonious color schemes enhance the cozy, romantic vibe of the game’s setting. Moreover, the developer’s personal experiences with weight loss are subtly reflected in the story’s authenticity, adding depth and relatability to Fan Tong’s journey. This personal touch makes the narrative all the more genuine and engaging. On the audio front, Bagel Love Story features a soothing and cheerful soundtrack that complements the game’s tone perfectly. The voice acting is well-executed, bringing warmth and personality to the characters that further immerse players in their story. The game also offers meaningful dialogue choices that influence the progression and endings, adding replay value and allowing players to explore different facets of the characters’ relationship and development. In summary, Bagel Love Story is a wonderfully crafted visual novel that combines humor, romance, and heartfelt themes in a way that feels fresh and sincere. Its engaging narrative, appealing art style, and charming soundtrack create an inviting experience that will resonate with fans of romance and slice-of-life stories. Whether you are drawn to stories about self-discovery, enjoy character-driven romances, or are simply looking for a sweet and uplifting game, Bagel Love Story offers a memorable journey worth experiencing.
