“If you live like that—that ability, that life… Give it to me.”
The words weren’t just a wish; they were a death sentence. In a world where your worth is determined by the rank of your psychic abilities
, being a D-level Guide is equivalent to being invisible. You were the shadow in the corner, the footnote in someone else’s success story, until the day you saw her.
She had your face. She had your eyes. But she possessed the one thing you craved most: an S-level ranking and the adoration of the world. In a moment of desperation and chilling clarity, you didn’t just envy her—you erased her. Like smashing a mirror to take the reflection for yourself, you took her life, her name, and her status.
Now, you walk the halls of power as an S-class elite. The clothes are expensive, the air is thinner, and the stakes are lethal. You are living a dream built on a foundation of blood and lies. But as the saying goes, even the most perfect mask begins to crack.
2. The Narrative: Shadows in the Light
The transition from a D-level nobody to an S-level icon was supposed to be the end of your struggles. Instead, it was the beginning of a high-stakes psychological thriller. As you step into her shoes, you realize that the woman you killed wasn’t just a lucky socialite—she was at the center of a web of dark secrets and “intricately intertwined mysteries.”
The success you’ve “earned” is under constant threat. A mysterious shadow follows your every move, and the four people closest to the woman you murdered are closing in. Do they love the woman she was, or are they beginning to fall for the lie you’ve become?
In this dark romance, the line between truth and deception is razor-thin. One wrong word, one slip in your “S-class” persona, and the life you fought so hard to steal will come crashing down. This isn’t just a game of love; it’s a game of survival where every choice is a heartbeat.
3. The Players: Four Hearts, One Lie
In the midst of this chaos, four distinct individuals pull at the threads of your new life. Each represents a different path, a different danger, and a different kind of love.
▶ Isaiah: The Radiant S-Class Esper
Isaiah is the pinnacle of success—powerful, charismatic, and seemingly perfect. He looks at you with a devotion that is almost frightening.
- His Perspective: “You are my guide to fate.”
- The Conflict: He is the one you are supposed to be “compatible” with. But does he love you, or does he love the S-class power he thinks you possess? If he discovers you are a D-level fraud, will his love turn to a deadly wrath?
▶ Johann: The Suspicious A-Class Guide
Johann doesn’t look at you with adoration; he looks at you with scrutiny. He knew the “old” you—or rather, the woman you replaced.
- His Perspective: “You’re just being deceived.”
- The Conflict: He is a master of reading people. He senses a shift in your aura, a change in your past. He is the greatest threat to your secret, yet the tension between you is undeniable. Is he trying to expose you, or protect you from yourself?
▶ Jenny: The “Friend” with a Hidden Agenda
Jenny is an A-class Esper who claims to be your closest confidante. She approaches with a smile, but her eyes tell a different story.
- Her Perspective: “Why don’t we start over?”
- The Conflict: In a world of rankings, friends are often just rivals in disguise. Jenny knows things about the woman you killed that you haven’t figured out yet. Is she offering a hand in friendship, or is she leading you into a trap?
▶ Tail: The Python Informant
A man who lives in the digital and literal shadows. Tail deals in the one currency you can’t afford to lose: information.
- His Perspective: “I can give you the information you want.”
- The Conflict: He knows your past. He might even know what happened the night you “became” an S-class Guide. Working with him is like dancing with a snake—he can give you the tools to protect your lie, but at what cost?
4. Game Mechanics: Your Choice, Your Ending
Fake Romance: Love Esper is more than a visual novel; it is a Romance Simulation & Mystery RPG designed for players who want depth and agency.
- Selective Expression: The game utilizes a multiple-ending system. Every dialogue choice isn’t just flavor text—it adjusts your standing with the characters and the stability of your “lie.”
- The Mystery System: You aren’t just dating; you are investigating. Collect clues about the woman you replaced to stay one step ahead of those who would expose you.
- Visual Novel Immersion: High-quality character illustrations and atmospheric backgrounds pull you into a world of luxury and dread.
- Psychological Depth: Experience the “heroine’s mood” through a complex internal monologue that explores the guilt, ambition, and fear of living a stolen life.
5. Who Should Play This?

6. Conclusion: False Success or True Love?
You killed the woman in the mirror, but her ghost—and her secrets—still haunt the halls of your new life. You are surrounded by power, wealth, and the attention of the world’s most elite Espers. But every time Isaiah whispers that you are his “fate,” or Johann questions your past, the mask slips a little further.
Will you maintain the lie and secure your “False Success”? Or will you confess, risk your life, and search for “True Love” in the ruins of your deception?
“I’m deceiving you.” The truth is a weapon. How you use it will determine if you find a happily-ever-after or a tragic end.
