Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Love Is Dead is a weird hybrid of puzzle solving and platforming but before talking about the gameplay I may as well talk about the story because for whatever it's worth there was quite a bit of effort put into explaining the games world.
46 of 193 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
While clearly designed to be played in (local) co-op, the single player experience is fun and apart from a few bugs and annoying features, keeps up its interesting style the whole way through.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
This game is great to casually play: full of details, voice acting per level, multiple loading screen fun quotes, and tons of different gameplay mechanics.
