My Bully Is My Lover

The scars from high school don't fade just because the bully in question grew up to be gorgeous. You play a protagonist who went through his own personal heaven and hell over a girl who made his teenage years miserable, and who spent a long time nursing plans to make her pay for it. The game is upfront about where it stands on that: this isn't a revenge story, and adulthood means letting go of the grudge instead of feeding it.

From there the game follows what happens when old wounds and new attraction get tangled up in the same person, set against a household of women who complicate things further. Expect a slow shift from resentment to something closer to romance, played out across a sci-fi-tinged fantasy backdrop rather than a straight high school redo.

You move through the story making choices that steer the protagonist's relationships rather than his revenge, watching the dynamic with his former tormentor and the rest of the cast evolve scene by scene. It's built as a visual novel first, so reading and deciding carries the weight, with the 3D-rendered scenes arriving as payoff rather than the main event.
