Why play it

Spring is here and love awaits, an oasis just over the horizon, a beautiful story waiting to be told. Join Takumi and Alice in a tale of fleeting cherry blossoms and forgotten first love.

Story and worldbuilding

On the edge of the Rose Village shopping district there stands an old, worn-down barbershop, and in the barbershop there lives a girl named Alice. Alice goes to school with her friends at Hekihou Academy, where she's a member of the photography club. She lives alone except for her pet dog Qoo, and she holds down a part-time job as a waitress at Dragon Burger. Her life is busy and content, but sometimes she feels like there's something she's forgetting, something she's left undone. Maybe even something important. One day, Alice and her friends visit the clock tower. There, an unusual book falls into Alice's lap: the diary of a mysterious young man. And that's where their story begins...

For visual novel fans tired of the same old story formula, The Witch’s Love Diary offers a nice breath of fresh air. It also has some great character designs, a good translation, and a decent settings menu. However, it is not perfect and does suffer from some hit-and-miss story chapters and a general decline in writing quality during the last third of the game.

I definitely enjoyed reading through The Witch’s Love Diary, but I do feel somewhat conflicted. The style they used to tell the story was particularly unique, but it did come across as disjointed. The overall story was interesting and the characters were great. I can’t really say I’d prefer it as a standard visual novel where routes separate though, as it wouldn’t work with the story. It's an experience unlike most others and worth taking the time to play.
