The Love’s Ordeal / 爱之劫 Genre : Visual Novel / Psychological Drama / Romance Approx. Playtime : 6 hours in total Rank : B / C Mode : Single-player; fully offline, works smoothly in Indonesia Check out my guide to help you play the game: [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3563338173]The Love's Ordeal | Walkthroughs and Achievements Guide [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/bloodization/screenshots/?appid=3709650&sort=newestfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=grid]I walked through every route, every sacrifice—and each screenshot holds a memory I’ll never forget. ✅ Pros [*] Sensible structure – Scenes flow naturally, avoiding repetition and tonal whiplash common in similar titles. [*] Moderate branching – Especially in the final chapters, offering meaningful variations and emotional weight. [*] Standout performance – Ye Xiaoying’s actress (Lin Jinyi) delivers exceptional nuance, elevating her route beyond expectation. [*] Lore touches – Light references to other M&S titles and hints at future connections enrich the experience for returning players. [*] Multilingual support – Despite imperfect translation, the game is accessible across many languages. ❌ Cons [*] Bugged endings – Some routes may glitch, preventing access to key conclusions. [*] Affection system unclear – Progression can feel broken or inconsistent, especially across multiple playthroughs. [*] No extras – Minimal assets, outfits, or bonus content beyond core routes. [*] Translation issues – Imperfect translation, yet the game naming is following. 📖 Additional Narrative Highlights [*]Each woman represents a different emotional truth—Shangxian’s logic, Yufen’s memory, Xiaoying’s temptation, Shushu’s fragility, Li Li’s quiet devotion. [*]The game doesn’t ask “Who do you love?” but “What are you willing to lose for love?” [*]Achievements are tied to irreversible choices, making each unlock feel earned rather than collected. [*]The final scenes linger—less like endings, more like echoes of what could’ve been. [*]The game is short, but its emotional weight lasts far beyond the credits. So : A compact yet emotionally resonant visual novel — The Love’s Ordeal / 爱之劫 is a quiet reckoning with memory, affection, and sacrifice. While it has technical flaws, its narrative strength and character depth make it a standout experience. Highly recommended for players who seek introspective storytelling and meaningful choices.

Mountain and Sea Studios are as predictable as the lottery numbers, but at least this time the prize is worth more than the ticket price. Superscout was good, but crumbled at the end and remains unfinished. Sovereign Brain Empire was stupid, despite good and popular actresses. And Heart of the Influencer was repetitive and lacked substance. The Love’s Ordeal is a half-step up on Heart of the Influencer, with a basic story, some moderate branching paths, and one actress who is a genuine star. The story setup is that you’re a Cultivator who must get a sincere kiss from a Yao to become immortal. Yaos are non-humans that have gained magic powers, and in this case they are animals. The problem is Yaos often eat Humans. So you infiltrate a small Yao sect and test out your charms. There is a bit more to it, including finding the true forms of each Yao, your boss immortal coming to visit, and some history with a few. It is basic, but there is slightly more story than [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3545990/_/]God Bless or Goddess . Also, the game lightly references both GBOG and [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3282390/Love_is_All_Around_2/]LIAA 2 , and may even hint at M&S’s next game. The basic structure means scenes flow together normally, without repetition or silliness. You sometimes get to pick to join one of the five love interests, and they do appear in groups. Choices build affection, and there is a good and bad ending for each one. Affection seems cumulative (or broken) and sadly the game bugged out for me, making it impossible to view two endings. Surprisingly, there are a moderate amount of branching paths in the last two chapters, which is why it takes about 2 hours to finish but 5.5 to see everything. Ye Xiaoying is the game’s standout character, and that’s not to say the others are bad. The actress (Lin Jinyi, formerly in C-pop band SING) is insanely good during the many close ups due to her facial expressions, nose twitches, and actions. Her line delivery is spot on and she is definitely one to watch in the future. She currently sits well on top of the character leaderboards, so it appears most others agree. Like other games from M&S, the budget seems relatively modest. It is set in the modern day, so no fancy sets or props, although there are a few different outfits at least (Yufen’s true form is cool). There are basically no extras. Translation is not great, with a couple of scenes missing subs and some name issues with choices, but credit where it is due, many languages are supported. Just about everything is mostly on par with how M&S have approached their other games. At least with this sensible framework, they have something worth playing and hopefully they can take another half-step forward.

The Love’s Ordeal is a cultivation-themed FMV romance game with the signature humor of Mountain and Sea Studio. You play as a cultivator who must obtain a "true love's kiss" from a female demon within three days to ascend to immortality—a seemingly simple task that quickly spirals into a series of absurd and comical situations. The female characters are attractive and varied in personality. The visuals are solid, with plenty of close-up shots that, thanks to the cast's looks, never feel awkward or off-putting. The gameplay is straightforward and easy to pick up, with a short runtime. Some scenes drag a little, but overall, it's entertaining enough for a casual playthrough.

A low-budget FMV. The charm is the story works with such delightful actresses that could each hold their own -- but there is some winking involved.
