Meet the unfairly attractive cast of Resident Lover! From charming art professors to golden retriever skater girls, this university has lovers suited to anyone's tastes.  

  • Alcina Dimitrescu: The Resident Heartthrob, join her art class for purely academic purposes and dare to head into the mouth of the lion...
  • Bela Dimitrescu: The Resident Workaholic, try to keep up with her work ethic, join her on the student council, and maybe discover what lies beneath the stone-cold exterior.
  • Cassandra Dimitrescu: The Resident Diva, take part in this term's play of Romeo and Juliet and find out if undying love can only exist on the stage.
  • Daniela Dimitrescu: The Resident Romantic, get tangled up in her family's mess and see if this hopeless romantic may yet find some hope.
  • Donna Beneviento: The Resident Recluse, take a dare and get emotionally tangled with a florist, and see if love really is enough.
  • Angie Beneviento: The Resident Party Animal, skip out on classes and go on an adventure your liver wont thank you for! And maybe, just maybe, find out she's not as one-dimensional as she might seem.
  • President Miranda: The Resident Headmistress, get blackmailed into becoming an assistant and slowly but surely earn the trust of an apex predator and maybe even grow fond of them.

love this but even after 7/7 routes and 10/10 secrets i think im too dumb to piece together the lore unveiled in miranda's route TvT

fantastic game, I died from excitement playing this. this definitely needs a sequel please! <3

(+2)

Got this working on my Steam Deck so I can romance all my favorites on the go. Such a lovely game, thank you!

All the art and storytelling is fantastic!

Can I get a guide on how to access Bela and Angie's route pls?

(+1)

for Bela you choose the scholar route then go to the club fair (instead of the library)

for Angie you choose the social butterfly route then go to door 1 (the honking noises sound)

(1 edit) (+3)

I just finished all routes and don't know how to process it all in one comment. No explicit spoilers but definitely will reveal some things so if you want to go in blind I can tell you at the very least, yes go for it, try all routes for a richer experience even if you don’t find some to be your type, they’re all lovely and unique in their own ways, not to mention the intricate storylines and how they’re connected but also different in some ways, yeah you get the point so go for it!

I intended to go for Bela and Cass cause I liked the premise of their routes, beside the fact that I’m a sucker for mean/charismatic girls, and they did NOT disappoint, literally got me squeaking and feeling some type of way, I knew I was in trouble when my hyperfixation tendencies were starting to show. I wanted to jump straight through to Miranda right after because she got me sooo intrigued in Bela's route (also mean), I had no idea how her route would go, though seeing how it's recommended to finish all the other 6 this got me determined to finish them in a couple days. I wanted to finish ‘em in one setting but alas the demands of the real world can't be ignored. I have to say that I enjoyed all of them thoroughly, interesting storylines and seeing how different characters interact with each other and our MC when it’s not their route (not me calling Bela my beloved whenever I see her on someone else’s route).

Angie and Dani are MC’s roomies through and through in my eyes, but their routes were cute, loved Angie’s Sherlock and Watson shtick and the pace of development, and I saw some of myself in Dani, her route’s happy ending route had a nice conclusion to it in the way it wrapped things up with her fam and Miranda.

Alcina had some hilarious moments with MC’s simping and oh god interacting with her daughters as her gf was a blast, Cass and Bela’s bickering is something I live for.

DONNA MY SWEET SUNSHINE PUPPY, 5 minutes into her route and I was ready to move mountains for this woman. I usually gravitate towards the opposite type in these games, but she hit my soft spot. I LOOOOVED all her sides, her serious moments got me holding my breath, I was yes, ma’am-ing when needed, you know you do NOT want to mess around with her. I loved MC’s demeanor and their sweet and tender dynamic.

Going into Miranda's I fully expected watching myself surrender all morals and values for an evil route, considering all I’ve seen of her in others’ routes but hooo boy, hers is brain chemistry altering. The length and depth from beginning to end, her pet names, unique flirtatious banter, the hints thrown here and there and scene buildup until the final reveal answered many questions I had but also makes me question how things are different or similar in other routes, which is totally my cue to replay.

Thank you, Team Avia, for this wonderful game and stories! It’s just what I needed in this difficult period, and what better way to soothe than a fully immersive style, stories, art, characters, and knowing the sheer effort put into this project.

I'm debating on taking the romanticist route or Donnas

(+1)

i loved Cassandra so much i almost don't wanna try any other route omgosh

(+1)

I didn't get all of the images neither did Miranda route (that ancient creature hurt my bbgs 😒) but I absolutely adored both design and stories! Especially how you guys treated their redesign in a modern world!

(+2)

How can I get all the images? I still need the last 8, do I have to make a bad ending for any character? I don't want to see any of my girls sad 🥹

(+2)

How do you get the donna route? I love this game and i just dont know how to get the Donna route.

(+1)

You have to pick The Drifter at the start of the game.

(+2)

Oh ok tysm! ^^

No problem

Currently sobbing because I can’t download this on my ipad.

(+3)

I LOVE this game, the art is beautiful, the storyline matches up and I love the personality of all the characters. Amazing story as well. Great job, this has become  a comfort game for me, I played all of the routes.

Hágale una traducción en español

pense q los tipos q estan en la portada eran Luzu y Quackity en plena revolucion T-T

(+5)

This game...Other than it quickly turned into a comfort game for me ( I love love Miranda, Donna and Cassandra's routes ). It made me realize and accept I'm actually gay.  I SWEAR I PLAYED THE GAME MULTIPLE TIMES NOW AND ITS STILL GIVING ME BUTTERFLIES. God, I wish there were more content

(+2)

I WANT KARL NOW !!! ( ps game was really good want karl in there tough <3)

(+6)(-1)

I've only done Miranda's route so far (warnings be damned), but I'm really loving this. I do wonder if I'm missing out on anything by not knowing anything about RE Village, though. Also, "I have a death wish and a weakness for women" is the best description I've ever seen for how I play dating sims.

(+1)(-1)

Why does the download always fail?

(+2)

totally loved it, i just did the cassandra route and i'm doing the bela one!! can't wait for you guys to release more content! (please get voice actors tho :( that would be awesome!!) <3

(+1)

There’s actually someone making a fan-dub for the game :D!

for real?? omg when is it coming out

(+4)

I downloaded this game last night at around 8:00PM and then I played the entire game in a single 13 hour session. it is now 9:00AM. I have not slept, I have not eaten, and I've had some water. but considering how good the writing was and how uniquely charismatic each bachelorette was I didn't drink enough water to quench my thirst. of course my favorite route is the Miranda route, but I think that putting the Miranda route aside Donna's story was one of my favorites. I would recommend this game to all depraved single lesbians out there. 10/10

(+2)

I feel this post this is literally me right now

(+1)

I’m OBSESSED with the Miranda route. I just finished playing it and OMG?!!! I’ve never even played any resident evil games before but I still think this is a FANTASTIC game!!!

Will there be a translation into Portuguese? Please say yes, I'm looking forward to playing this game, it's been a year and I don't know English.  I'm using the translator

(+3)

every month or so i replay this game because it's just so so amazing. i think the miranda route actually changed something in my brain. i now understand the mother miranda vision. thank you.

The Miranda route was something I never knew I needed

THANK U SM TEAM I ENJOYED PLAYING THIS GAME ANDDD IT'S FUN AND THE STORY LINE IS SO CHEF'S KISS I HOPE YOU'LL MAKE ANOTHER GAME

(+1)
