ABOUT
UC Love is a humorous, touching, and wholesome anime-style dating simulator with characters that have three-dimensional personalities. The characters are personifications of many of the University of California schools + a few surprises ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)! There are various locations to visit, minigames to play, and secrets to find!

GAME FEATURES

  • 5 Romanceable UC Girls (Left to Right: UCB, UCLA, UCI, UCR, and UCSB)
  • Two Secret Romanceable Characters ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
  • Cameos of the other UCs!
  • Unique Storylines for Each Romanceable Character!
  • 4 Mini-Games!
  • Sprite Sets and Various Expressions!
  • 9 Endings to explore!
  • Chill original music!
  • Wholesome vibes and funny jokes!

TIPS

  • Finish the game by successfully asking one of the characters to the dance!
  • Each UC Lover has a set schedule that they follow each day. Explore the campus and pay attention to when you see your love interest in a particular place!
  • Your UC Lover will only agree to go on a date with you if they are close to you, and will only agree to go to the dance with you if they are really close to you! 
  • Love interests will be more open and interested with you as they get closer with you! To build a relationship with someone, talk to them repeatedly and/or give them gifts! Each love interest has a loved gift, liked gifts, and disliked gifts, except for a certain Mr. Tree in the Mud, who hates all gifts. 
  • If you are at a dating stage, do well with the date minigame for some extra brownie points!
  • After you are able to successfully ask them out on a date, you may be able to ask them out to the dance! :) 

EXTRA TIPS (SPOILERS)

  • If you're looking to date Tommy, you can find him by taking a walk in the garden at night! :) 
  • If you're looking to date Stan Ford, you can find him in the field after you beat the gym minigame on hard! :) 
  • There are 5 cameo UCs hidden around the campus! Explore the campus to find: Mercedes (UCM), Diana (UCSD), Crystal (UCSC), Davina (UCD), Francesca (UCSF), Hailey (UC Hastings)

We weren't able to add them as romanceable characters, but they do make cameos in game! UCSC has a chance to appear in the garden and UCSD has a chance to appear in the shop :) Thank you for playing!

Hi I am really enjoying this game! just buy the way in the Stan path, after the dance and you talk to stan in the plaza the game has been freezing and does not complete

when playing for Ellie (ucla) there where no issues. But for riveria, the game has been crashing after her date

Deleted 1 year ago

Thank you for playing the game! We're so glad you're enjoying it! We just pushed a new build that fixes the issues you described! If you downloaded UCL, please download the latest version for the fix! Thank you so much for letting us know! :) <3

How do we actually date the girls? Am buying gifts and ask them but keep getting turned down

(1 edit)

Hey, thanks for playing! So there are basically relationship "tiers" for the girls. Once your relationship moves up two "tiers" you'll be able to ask someone out for a date. You need to get to the next tier after that to ask to the dance. You'll know when you've moved up a tier because the girl will start acting more friendly toward you when you talk to them.

The reason the system is like that is that we wanted to have a more realistic sense of when the right time to ask someone out is, rather than just the game telling you when you're allowed.

(+1)

Ah... yeah, apparently to woo girls you just spam them with gifts... eventually I figured it out lol.


Thanks.


Also, Irene kept promising to take us for ramen, but we always ended up getting pasta.... hahaha.

I honestly really enjoyed this game.

How do i make or is there a way to make money in android version?

nevamind, just finished the game with kelly ending..

Does it still get updated?

Since the Android version does not support the minigames (and has them hidden), the amount of money you earn thru random encounters in the Garden is buffed.

To answer your second question, @kiwinunu and I are working on an expansion, but it's been a slow process because of internships + school. Make sure to follow because I'll post an update once it's finished!

Yesyes :) The only way that you can earn money on the Android version at the moment is to take a walk in the garden for a random chance at earning money. We may try to improve this in the future. We're also hard at work patching bugs and adding a new love interest ;) 

ok, wish you guys the best, hope the game will expand much more.

I was playing this game for Kelly until the end I realized I was actually playing for Bear Box when I bought that bouncy castle I knew I made the right choice

yesyes he is a homewrecker <3 

Its a nice game but i cant continue after the intro since when it brings me to the and map it doesn't do anything

(+1)

We just uploaded a new build that should fix the map! https://olaycolay.itch.io/uc-love/devlog/387388/new-features-intro-and-flavor-te...
