Preface
As of the moment this text is written, mainstream thought in human society has yet to accept the existence of aliens.
Yet among the masses, a significant number of people already believe that extraterrestrial civilizations have always been closely connected to humanity. Some even claim that the earliest contact between humans and alien civilizations can be traced back to the glorious human civilization of Lemuria. After that came Atlantis; these civilizations formed cooperative relationships with alien civilizations, achieving rapid development until unexpected events led to the collapse of these grand civilizations. Their stories have been passed down, continuously distorted, and have become the myths of today.
However, when modern people gaze at the stars, most of the time, they are met only with the silence of space.
Story
Live like an Angel is set in the modern day, based on various ideas emerging from the ongoing New Age movement. It is a visual novel about angels, aliens, and humans, exploring serious themes including "why humanity has been placed under interstellar isolation", "the future of humanity as a collective" and "how individuals should move forward in this era".
But this is not a story with serious atmosphere at all. On the contrary, because the three main characters are far too fond of mischief, their interactions create a veritable chemistry lab, constantly producing unexpected situations and comedic moments.
Beyond that—to borrow an image from the Bible—each person has their own cross to bear. The characters in the story each have their own troubles, traumas, worries, and unresolved matters. Some of these past events trace back thousands of years, to an era when humans and "gods" still coexisted. One segment of the story is set in China's Yao-Shun-Yu era, 4,000 years ago, which should feel quite familiar to local players.
In summary...
To circle back and capture the impression of the entire story in one sentence...
It could be said that Live like an Angel is a comedic story born to bring happiness to its players.
It contains school romance, ancient Chinese alien legends, and supernatural science fantasy...
There are ancient sages bound by duty, the strongest human trapped by lies, and a grandmaster troubled by low wages...
And, an adorable, childish high school girl obsessed with playing house and comic books—
Finally, add to that countless hilarious moments.
Beneath these dazzling petals, this is fundamentally a story as warm as soil and as sweet as the spring breeze.
Just like the stories of every person in this world.
A Note on Gameplay
This game is a visual novel with no controllable characters. The primary gameplay involves following the story and making choices at branching points. Only the final branch leads to two different endings; all other options exist to create comedic effects. Players can freely choose their preferred options without affecting the overall story progression.
