About the Game

It’s simple. You’re an exorcist, he’s a ghost. Except… not really?

On a visit to a client’s haunted house, you find that this handsome ‘full-bodied apparition’ is a little more ‘full body’ than you’d anticipated.

There’s something wrong with Lorenn’s soul. Something wrong with this house. And with your client refusing to cooperate until you’ve finished the job…

Looks like you’ve got the world’s cutest half-dead roommate on your hands!

A Love Like Broken Glass is a cozy romance visual novel, featuring:

  • You, a self-trained exorcist with a penchant for teasing pretty boys.

  • Lorenn, an adorably clumsy post(ghost?)-grad with a penchant for being teased.

  • The looming threat of his fractured soul, fated to fade away before your very eyes...

  • And a not-so-safe soul-linking ritual that twists his innocent feelings into obsession, spiralling quickly out of control. But that’s nothing you can’t handle, right?

From roommates, to friends, to literal soul-mates… Nobody ever said exorcism was easy. Love is even harder.

And when you’re all out of time, will either of you be ready to say goodbye?

Key features:

  • A gender-neutral protagonist, with appearance otherwise unspecified.

  • An original soundtrack that will make you bop your head or pluck at your heartstrings at any moment’s notice.

  • Adorable character sprites and event CGs.

  • ~60k words (over four hours of reading), and varying dialogue trees that’ll allow you to flirt and tease to your heart’s content.

  • (New!) FOUR different endings: and only one leads to your happily ever after. You and Lorenn’s fate is in your hands now; will you find your way to a blissful eternity?

  • (New!) A gallery of every unlockable CG viewable at any time!

  • (New!) A music room, in which you can play, pause, and shuffle each track you unlock as the game progresses!

  • The prettiest, most loveliest ghost boy that will stay in your soul forever.
