About Muv-Luv: 

Muv-Luv Logo

One of the most highly-acclaimed visual novel series ever, now available on Nintendo Switch!

One of the most influential visual novels of all time, and a school love story like no other. This remastered release comes with a brand new, easy-to-use interface. The game contains the first two arcs: Extra, and Unlimited.

Don’t fall for Extra’s cutesy exterior. This series ventures into some of the darkest thematic territory you’ll ever see, and when the final curtain closes, you’ll need a forklift to pick your jaw up off the floor. Make no mistake: this is a story that will challenge you in ways few works of fiction dare attempt, and an emotional tour de force unlike any other. 

Muv-Luv Extra
Takeru is your average high school senior whose entire world gets turned upside down one morning when he awakens to find himself in bed with the heiress to one of the world’s largest conglomerates. She calls herself Meiya, and - despite never having met him before - she insists that the two of them are destined for one another. This comes much to the chagrin of his childhood friend Sumika, the girl next door who’s always had feelings for him, who realizes that if she doesn’t act fast, she might just lose him forever. But just who is Meiya? And do his feelings for Sumika run deeper than he thought? In the end, he’ll need to decide between the girl who’s been with him through thick and thin, or the stranger who claims they’re bound together by fate.

But that’s only one side of the story. 

Muv-Luv Unlimited
Just as the page turns on Takeru’s happily ever after, he awakens one morning in a world not his own. An alternate timeline, a world infested by alien invaders locked in a war that’s been raging on for decades. And yet, all the set pieces are the same - his house is still here, albeit barely standing. His school is still here, though it’s now a military academy. And even though they don’t recognize him, all his friends are here too... with one exception...

 

About Muv-Luv Alternative

Playtime's over. Time for despair. Experience a masterpiece in the Muv-Luv saga's thrilling conclusion.

Muv-Luv Alternative is a direct sequel to Muv-Luv Unlimited, and is the grand finale of the Muv-Luv saga.

Step back into the cockpit and prepare for deployment in Muv-Luv Alternative, the most critically acclaimed visual novel of all time.

This isn’t a cutesy high school rom-com anymore; it’s an epic tale of conspiracies, an alien menace, quantum causality, and much, much more. It’ll test your limits, challenge your worldview, and by the time it’s all over, you’ll be so emotionally spent that it’ll be weeks before you can fully process the implications of what you’ve just witnessed.

This definitive remastered release comes with a brand-new interface, so if you think you’re ready to take the dive, there’s never been a better time to strap in and see for yourself why so many readers consider this the greatest story ever told.

Story

Three years have passed since the day Takeru suddenly awoke in a world not his own — a war-torn alternate reality in which mankind was locked in a decades-long struggle against the ruthless extraterrestrial invaders known as the BETA. In that time, he’s been through an awful lot — enlisting in the military, meeting parallel-universe versions of his old friends, and even falling in love.

But it seems that fate has bigger plans for Takeru, because after a disastrous failure, he wakes up to find himself back in his childhood bedroom once again. Not in his own world, mind you — but back where he was three years prior. This is no dream; this is a recurring nightmare. But then it hits him: this is a second chance. Perhaps he can use his knowledge to warn Professor Kouzuki, and together, they can somehow find a way to prevent Alternative V from ever being enacted. If he can change history, then maybe — just maybe — he’ll find the answers to all of his questions. Why has he gone back in time? Why isn’t Sumika here? And most importantly, what IS Alternative IV?
