Love, Money, Rock’n’Roll, developed and published by Soviet Games, is an ambitious visual novel that seeks to blend the themes of romance, politics, and cultural tension into a nostalgic yet dramatic tale set in 1980s Japan. It tells the story of Nikolai, a Soviet immigrant living in Tokyo, whose seemingly peaceful high school life spirals into a web of mystery, intrigue, and emotional turmoil. Behind its neon-lit aesthetic and school setting lies a deeper narrative about identity, loyalty, and the lingering shadow of Cold War politics. The game carries the DNA of Soviet Games’ earlier success, Everlasting Summer, but with higher production values, a richer setting, and a broader emotional palette that attempts to explore love and betrayal on both a personal and ideological level. From the very beginning, the presentation of Love, Money, Rock’n’Roll stands out as its defining strength. The art direction perfectly captures the late 20th-century atmosphere, fusing Japanese pop culture aesthetics with Soviet undertones to create something distinct and memorable. The character designs are detailed and expressive, each heroine standing out not only visually but emotionally, with subtle animations and well-rendered backgrounds that breathe life into every scene. The developers clearly invested significant care into crafting the visual and auditory identity of the game—the warm, painterly lighting of classrooms, the soft glow of city lights, and the nostalgic hum of cassette tapes all combine to create an immersive sense of time and place. The soundtrack, composed of a mix of synth-driven tracks and emotional instrumentals, adds another layer of authenticity to the setting, making each moment—whether quiet reflection or heated confrontation—feel more resonant. The story itself takes a surprisingly complex turn for a romantic visual novel. While it begins as a typical high school drama centered on friendship, love, and adolescent insecurities, it gradually unfolds into a multi-layered narrative filled with political conspiracies, espionage, and questions of moral compromise. Nikolai’s life becomes entangled with four central heroines—Himitsu, his loyal childhood friend; Catherine, his sharp-tongued and enigmatic ex-girlfriend; Ellie, a lively and affluent girl with ties to powerful figures; and Kagome, a reserved class representative hiding secrets of her own. Each route delves into different aspects of Nikolai’s personal growth and the broader themes of power, trust, and destiny. What makes these routes compelling is how the romantic and political elements intertwine—love here is never detached from the tension of the world around the characters. The branching choices, though familiar to genre veterans, carry real emotional weight, often forcing players to confront conflicting loyalties or personal values rather than simple affection-based decisions. In terms of writing and pacing, the game walks a fine line between ambition and indulgence. The script, spanning over half a million words, offers remarkable depth but occasionally meanders through long stretches of introspection and dialogue that may test the patience of some players. Certain scenes feel overwritten, with repeated arguments or drawn-out emotional exchanges that could have benefited from tighter editing. However, when the writing clicks, it shines. Moments of introspection reveal a surprising philosophical undercurrent—questions about identity, history, and human connection that resonate beyond the romantic framework. Nikolai’s internal struggles, often conveyed through subtle narration and dialogue, paint him as a flawed but sympathetic protagonist whose development feels earned by the end of each route. The localization work deserves credit as well, capturing both the tone of 1980s Japan and the cultural nuances of a Soviet-born character navigating a foreign world. Mechanically, Love, Money, Rock’n’Roll follows the traditional structure of a visual novel, with branching routes, dialogue choices, and multiple endings depending on the player’s decisions. There’s no gameplay beyond reading and choosing, but the visual and auditory feedback make progression rewarding. Animated sprites and seamless scene transitions lend the experience a cinematic quality rare among indie visual novels. The choices you make can lead to dramatically different emotional tones—some endings are melancholic and introspective, while others are hopeful or tragic. The game also rewards replayability, as seeing all four main routes not only reveals more about the heroines but also about the overarching mystery that connects them. This design encourages players to return, not just for different romances, but for a deeper understanding of the story’s layered narrative. While the production quality is impressive, Love, Money, Rock’n’Roll isn’t without flaws. The pacing issues, occasional tonal inconsistencies, and sometimes awkward transitions between slice-of-life scenes and political drama can undermine the emotional flow. Some character arcs could have been explored with greater subtlety, and a few plot twists arrive abruptly, feeling more like narrative convenience than organic progression. Additionally, the game’s length may deter those seeking a more concise experience—its scope is vast, but not always consistently engaging. Nevertheless, its heart is in the right place, and its ambition is commendable. Few visual novels attempt to weave love stories with historical and ideological reflections, and even fewer do so with such aesthetic confidence. In the end, Love, Money, Rock’n’Roll succeeds as both a visual spectacle and a thought-provoking narrative about youth, memory, and the passage of time. It is a visual novel that wears its emotions openly, oscillating between melodrama and sincerity, romance and reflection. Despite its imperfections, it captures a rare kind of nostalgic energy—one that feels deeply human, shaped by longing and the inevitability of change. For fans of Everlasting Summer or those seeking a more mature, thematically rich visual novel experience, this game offers something truly special. It’s not just about love or music or political intrigue—it’s about how all of these forces shape who we are and what we choose to fight for, even when the world feels like it’s moving faster than we can hold onto. Rating: 7/10

Игра была успешно пройдена от и до. Фанаты бесконечного лета, что считает это чудо ужасным по причине характера главного героя, это странно. Главный герой Бесконечного лета, это пустышка способная рассуждать, но его личность не заполнена или наполнена дырами в характере, и мы эти дыры заполняли своими выборами по ходу действия сюжета, в результате чего формировался главный герой который нам нравится или хотя бы нам не противен. В Love, Money, Rock'n'Roll главный герой уже полностью сформирован, у него есть характер, ценности отчасти определенное мировозрение на все то, что происходит в вокруг. Он полноценен и потому принимая решения по ходу действия сюжета ты уже руководствуешься не тем, как ты поступил бы в данной ситуации, а как бы ты хотел, что бы поступил герой. Так же идеально подходит вопросы "Как я хочу, что бы развивался сюжет дальше?", "Как я хочу, что бы главный герой поступил?", "Как я хочу, видеть будущее в котором он будет жить?". В результате получилось весьма самостоятельно произведение, с уже написанным миром, героями, но не завершившимся сюжетом который так и наравит спросить у тебя "А как ты хочешь жить дальше?" Мне данная игра-произведение крайне понравилось и нашло отклик в моей душе, от него осталось как и тепло, так и множество мыслей о суровой реальности и жизни с которой может столкнуться каждый, ну или почти каждый. Это все. Спасибо разработчиком Soviet Games за столь приятное времяпровождение!

LMR isn’t Everlasting Summer. Where Semyon feels like a tired reflection of ourselves, Nikolai is something else, a protagonist with agency, charm, and decisions that feel like his, not ours. You don’t relate to him, you follow his story.

Love, Money, Rock'n'Roll is a very good visual novel game with a beautiful story. The graphics are nice and the soundtrack is cozy... I recommend it. 💗

An alright Visual Novel. It very often drags on, and some paths are noticeably WAY better than others (I would honestly recommend you to skip Kagome's entire route, seriously screw that woman) but there are some good moments and the Ellie and Himitsu routes are pretty great.
