Same LI, Different Universe

I play a lot of Voltage Inc, which means I’ve read my fair share of side stories that are full-blown AU’s for the MC and LI, but also straight up alternative routes and games for the same guy(s)!

What got me thinking was how Voltage Inc has three alternate gacha versions of pre-existing paid games. And how one of their paid games is a spin-off of another — with some of the same LI’s! The main one on my mind is their Love365 title, My Forged Wedding. This title has a different app gacha alternative called My Forged Wedding: Party, with a different storyline (and better writing imo). It has all the same LI’s, so you have the option of romancing them in both games with completely different stories! I find the concept fairly interesting, getting a whole new AU of a route that’s treated just as big as it’s original.

Aside from that, they have the title My Wedding and 7 Rings, a spin-off of My Forged Wedding. Two men from My Forged Wedding are love interests in it, and they’re childhood friends with MC instead of being total strangers like My Forged Wedding! I think that’s so cool (and they must be loved to be written in 3 diff games 😵‍💫). They pull this same thing in My Sweet Bodyguard and Her Love in the Force.

They have a ton more instances too in smaller side stories, and bigger ones that are like whole other main stories but a pivotal plot point is changed (In Your Arms Tonight, Another Story).

Idk I guess I just wanted to ramble about the existence of alternative getting together stories and how cool it is to be able to fall in love with the same guy a few different ways! It’s not something I see too often, so I thought it’d be fun to bring up :)
