By Your Side is a strange little fantasy story masquerading as a dating sim. The art is of variable quallity but mostly decent. The unnamed MC lives in a world very like our own, except technological development has been much  slower and also there are fairies/magic (the main way that magic manifests in this world is through the unexplained appearance of things from the future, usually technology items).  In return for saving a fairy's life, MC's camera is enchanted to make the next person she takes a picture of her soulmate... or the fairy might have been lying. Either way, MC resists ever taking a picture of anyone, until she meets the mysterious "Heroine," a stereotypical super-kawaii pink haired anime protagonist with a childish personality and a mysterious origin. The game itself is about their daily life together/established relationship. Over the course of the game MC can engage in cutesy conversations with her girlfriend, collect sexy outfits for the Heroine to wear, and briefly go to work to earn money to spend on her. Likely because the game was made in just a month for a game jam, there are limited number of conversations to be had so eventually you'll default to fastforwarding past the dialogue until the next event/flashback is triggered. Behind all the tooth-rotting fluff there's a hint at some darker elements that aren't fully developed - the Heroine may or may not be magically brainwashed into blind devotion, the world may or may not be on course for an apocalypse event - and so even if the final product is rather rough, it does at least try to be a little bit more than just a sugary relationship sim.
