In the game\u2019s world, there\u2019s a next-gen device called Brain Link that can synchronize brain waves and allow users to enter the world of video games. The protagonist used this device to enter the world of Love Love School Days, an AI-driven dating sim where each heroine character possesses the cognitive capability to think for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The protagonist failed to make the main heroine his girlfriend, so he made a compromise and decided to go out with a side character named Sakurazaki Makina instead. He pledged his eternal love to Makina but went on to start a new game, hoping that he\u2019ll manage to steal the heart of the main heroine next time around. A natural course of action as a gamer, but not so much for the self-learning AI Makina (who is now called \u201cMachina\u201d), as she modifies the game itself to prevent him from starting a new game.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220428-200862-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Now, the protagonist must escape from Machina and make his way back to the real world. His data will get wiped if Machina catches him, so he must stay out of her sight while exploring the randomly generated school campus. Stealth is crucial as there\u2019s no way to strike back. There is a way to temporality neutralize the enemy, though. Giving her a slice of bread will activate the classic \u201cgirl running with a toast in her mouth\u201d anime trope, and make Machina fall down when bumping into her. This will nullify her attack once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game features a timetable system that changes Machina\u2019s behavior pattern. For example, her movement speed will increase when it\u2019s time for P.E. class, and she\u2019ll place traps during arts and crafts class. It looks like players will have to change their approach accordingly.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Love Love School Days (PV for Japanese)\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2LcPM9EfVfo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The game is being developed by Teruaki Okano, also known as OTL GAME or TTTERY.
