About the Game

Senior Sister, I've Fallen for You! is a sweet romance visual novel set in a secluded mountain cottage. You mainly play as senior sister Xiaoqian, reading story scenes, choosing replies, and arranging daily actions while sensing junior brother Xiaoyuer's increasingly obvious feelings. Some scenes also shift into his point of view, revealing the sincerity behind his nervousness, awkward pauses, and attempts to stay composed. As the story unfolds, the junior brother, senior sister, and Shifu each perform their own theme song, letting you hear the thoughts and feelings they keep in their hearts.

A Quiet Romance in the Mountains

Shifu has left the mountain for a while, but life in the cottage continues. Cooking, washing clothes, chopping firewood, cultivating, gathering herbs, and drawing water remain part of each day. Without the usual watchful eyes that seem to understand everything, the feelings hidden in the senior sister and junior brother's words and gestures become harder to ignore.

You can answer gently, tease him lightly, hold back, or be more direct. Each response can change the atmosphere of the moment and influence how the relationship and later events develop.

Three Characters, One Quiet Understanding

The romance grows between the senior sister and junior brother, but their mountain life is also shaped by Shifu's knowing presence. Although he appears to be away, he seems to understand the subtle feelings between his two disciples. Sometimes he leaves them space; sometimes he gives the gentlest push, adding warmth and humor to their daily life.
