Life is a Love Story

Life is too short

by Will Wilson 3/11/2009

Marriage. It's been the staple of romance stories for decades. From the initial relationship mishaps to the wedding day jitters, there's plenty of drama for writers to sink their teeth into.

The climax to these tales often involves the man dropping to his knees and opening a small box, orchestra swelling, sun setting. You get the picture.

What I've yet to see, though, is a romance that climaxes with a stranger accepting a proposal because they were handed a flower that was stolen from a pond the night before. Until now.

In Life is a Love Story you play Lima Coconut, heir to the almost extinct Coconut family fortune. Unfortunately, her batty Aunt has decided to alter her will so that the two remaining children, Lima and her brother, will be cut out of the inheritance unless they marry by the end of the week. ...

Love is a Life Story is an incredibly short interactive story with a sub-par plot and illogical puzzles. Occasionally amusing and cartoony, there just simply isn't enough game to make it a worthwhile purchase
