YOU and ME and HER: A Love Story

You and Me and Her: A Love Story is a 2013 eroge visual novel. Developed by Nitroplus, the game is about a Shinichi Susuki, a self-described loser who is caught between two romantic interests in his life: a strange young woman named Aoi Mukou who believes to receive messages from God that tells her she's a character in a romantic visual novel, and Miyuki who is Shinichi's childhood friend and the most popular girl at school. As Shinichi, the player must initially choose which girl to pursue romantically. The game was released in Japan on June 28, 2013 and was localized for English-language audiences in 2020. Joshua Roorda of Hardcore Gaming 101 said that game did not gain much widespread recognition in the United States until this later release. While released in both a version with and without erotic scenes, academics Mark Kretzschmar and Sara Raffel wrote in their book The History and Allure of Interactive Visual Novels that You and Me and Her was a rare eroge, or erotic game, that was best experienced with the erotic scenes as they enhanced the plot and suggested audiences to enter it with little knowledge of the plot as possible while Roorda summarized the game as "a must-play visual novel for even the modest fan of this genre."
