Love Tryouts is a visual novel set in the wonderful world of ProGIEG, a flourishing import-export company known for... its variety of first class products!
Playing as a new recruit, you'll have to fit in its amazing corporate culture so as to blend with its welcoming and smiling employees.
Actually, some of them might be jerks. But we're sure you'll find just the right one for you!
The game focuses on company life, alternating between tremendous spreadsheet filling and deep meaningful coffe machine conversations.
Innovative "stock photos" technology will guarantee you to experience the ugliest dating sim you've ever played!
First, you'll get to discover your full work environment. Learn about your colleagues, what they do in the company ; their hobbies, dreams and favorite techniques to crush competition. You'll also get the knack of the trades from Gilou, an experienced mentor who've seen it all before.
Once you can tell Gwen from supplies from JC the salesman, you'll get opportunities to deepen your bonds with your favorite characters in a different context!
Finally, maybe you'll get to secure a more profitable deal with a charming colleague. Or they'll get to steal your soul (if you're lucky enough to still have one at that point!).
REMEMBER, no ProGIEG policy forbids workplace romance!
Though, weirdly, no one seems to be comitted in a relationship for now...
