About this game
Forbidden Love is a choice-based visual novel exploring a forbidden relationship between a teacher and student.
Your choices shape the story, leading to a variety of different endings.
Dreams, dependency, and love become intertwined as the boundaries of affection slowly begin to blur.
A love reaching for forbidden dreams.
Between teacher and student. Between dreams and desire.
The protagonist once dreamed of becoming a manga artist, but gave up that dream due to parental opposition and countless hardships — eventually becoming a teacher instead.
One day, he crosses paths with Shizuku, a student being forced into an unwanted future by her parents, just as he once was. Not wanting her to walk the same road he once walked, he begins helping her prepare for an art competition.
As he supports her on her unwavering pursuit of that dream, Shizuku grows to rely on him deeply — and that reliance slowly turns into something closer to obsession. Caught between a student who clings to him and his own resolve to help her succeed without ever crossing the line, the protagonist finds himself facing a conflict with no easy answer.
Will Shizuku be able to forge a path different from the one her teacher once walked?
Full Voice Acting — Featuring a cast of professional voice actors. Lose yourself in the charm of the adorable heroine, Shizuku.
10 High-Quality Event CGs — A feast for the eyes at every turn.
Live Expressions — Lip-synced mouth movements and natural blinking bring every character to life.
