Story and worldbuilding

I’m your host Kat, and this is Find Love or Die Trying! It’s the premiere of our new dating show, where ending up single… means ending up dead! Not sure why you’d sign up for this, but now that you’re here, you’ve got 7 days to get one of the lovely ladies on your tropical island getaway to fall in love in with you. If she’s willing to put a ring on it, you’re both free to leave. If not… well, it’s in the name of the show! You’ll get the chance to meet: - Allie, the daredevil athlete with a rebellious streak - Scarlett, the charming scientist with a penchant for destruction - Violet, the cold-as-ice scion of a mysterious MegaCorp - Terra, the eccentric gamer who marches to her own drum - Yui, the childhood sweetheart with a smile that could melt ice …And last, but definitely not least, me! Kat! The impossibly perfect and painfully gorgeous host and producer. Did I forget to mention generous? I’ll be helping you get those romantic connections going, so you better be grateful! Then again, my bonus is tied to the ratings, and not you surviving the show, so… Hm. Anyway…. I can’t wait to start filming our first episode together!

On a scale from gum to feast, Find Love or Die Trying is one of those bags of chips that your parents would pack you on a field trip. It’s definitely tasty, and it’s not too filling, but it’s also over way before you want it to be. Additionally, it’s Lays Original flavor potato chips: you really wanted a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos, but those went first and mom isn’t buying another snack pack until you eat all the other flavors as well.

While Find Love or Die Trying doesn’t rewrite the visual novel genre, it does offer players witty storytelling, pop-culture references, humour, and mystery at every turn. The episodic format keeps the story engaging, and the choices you make truly feel impactful, which adds depth to the overall experience. The visuals are amazing, if not somewhat standard for this genre and the audio complements the atmosphere perfectly. Whether you are a fan of visual novels or brand new to the genre, Find Love or Die Trying is well worth checking out.

Find Love or Die Trying certainly doesn't reinvent the visual novel wheel or add much to the genre, but it is enjoyable enough to entertain you for a brief few hours. It has a cast of fun characters, a twisted take on the dating game, and a decent story to wrap it all up in. If you enjoy the genre and want to know how it ends, certainly check it out.

A core premise that seems interesting and fresh loses its appeal as it wears on

Find Love or Die Trying is a short but fun game. The choices don't feel very meaningful but the characters are great.
