“Romeo Must Live” is a renaissance-period comedy heist Visual Novel and Dating sim. Play as the luckless lothario Romeo Montague as he formulates a mad plan to marry his sweet Juliet without shedding a drop of blood. It is a “reinterpretation” of the famous play “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare where you replace all the blood and tragedy in the eternal bard’s original work for hilarity and madness as you play as the eponymous character and do what crazy antics are necessary to survive one’s way to the altar!
Featuring:
- Beautiful hand drawn characters and backgrounds
- Gorgeous orchestral soundtrack
- A hilarious storyline with wacky yet lovable characters
- All set in Renaissance Europe, how many Visual Novels do that?
- Ten distinct endings. Some absurd and others romantic!
