A visual novel about romantically involved witches

Please Date Me, Diana! is a free game in the visual novel genre in which the player enters the world of the popular Japanese Little Witch Academia anime show. The story revolves around the relationships between the central characters, with the eponymous Diana being the object of affection.

The gameplay style is much the same as other visual novel games, such as Infinite Stars – The Visual Novel or Doki Doki Literature Club. The narrative is presented to players through text accompanied by hand-drawn artwork.

Relationships

The game’s narrative revolves around Diana and her love interests, mainly Akko. The player takes on the role of Akko, who has decided to tell Diana about her feelings for her. The player must choose from certain dialogue options to advance the story with different endings resulting from those dialogue choices.

A visual novel game

Like most visual novel games, Please Date Me, Diana! is a more casual game that is only a step above a completely passive experience. The story is presented as text accompanied by the artwork of the characters and various settings, and the player can mostly just enjoy the story. However, should a player want a bit of a challenge, there are achievements to strive for.

Based on a popular anime

Please Date Me, Diana! is based on the characters and world of Little Witch Academia, a popular Japanese anime show set in a school for young witches. This aspect may mean the game has less appeal to players who aren’t fans of the show, but knowledge of the show is not required to follow the game’s plot.

Hand-drawn artwork and detailed story

The game features some very detailed artwork and plenty of dialogue to read. There are also multiple endings, depending on the choices the player makes.
