Muv-Luv is a Japanese visual novel split into two distinct parts. Extra opens with high school romance routes focused on different heroines—you pick dialogue choices that steer relationships through predetermined scenarios. Complete the two primary routes and you unlock Unlimited, which shifts the premise entirely. The gameplay stays linear throughout: read, choose from branching options, watch how scenes play out based on your picks. No puzzles or stats. Originally an adult release, later versions removed that content. The structure means you're committing to multiple playthroughs to see what Unlimited offers, since it's gated behind Extra's completion requirements. If you want story-driven branching without gameplay systems, this delivers that in two connected halves.
