Life Is Vanilla [v0.8] [Liv Productions]

January 31, 2026F95

Life is Vanilla is an adult visual novel that tells the story of a young man navigating his late teens and early twenties, drawing from real-life experiences blended with fiction. Inspired by shows like How I Met Your Mother, the game focuses on humor, light-hearted storytelling, and character development as the protagonist learns about relationships, confidence, and finding his place in life. The prologue introduces the main character at 18, a virgin exploring the awkward and humorous journey toward losing his virginity. Along the way, players will witness many of his comical mistakes, learn from his experiences, and enjoy optional “spicy” scenes created purely for entertainment.
While the story is based on real-life events, details such as names, locations, and professions have been changed to protect the identities of those involved. Optional adult content has also been added to enhance the experience.

Developer Notes:

Thank you for checking out Life is Vanilla! This is my first game, and I’m excited to share it with you. I’m not a professional artist or programmer, but I’ve poured my heart into this project, learning as I go. While the renders in the prologue may not be top-tier, they improve significantly by the end of this chapter. I hope you’ll enjoy the story and characters, and I’m looking forward to hearing your feedback as I work on future updates.
