In Lovephobia, you step into the shoes of Max Caulfield, an 18-year-old photography student at Blackwell Academy in Arcadia Bay, Oregon. When she enters a prestigious photography contest, Max must partner with another student to fulfill the requirements. With a variety of classmates to choose from, the path you take will define Max's emotional journey, offering a fresh perspective on the lives of those she cares about. The peaceful alternate universe setting offers a beautiful, nostalgia-filled Arcadia Bay with none of the past tragedies, where Max can explore complex relationships and possibly find love in unexpected places. Will she find companionship, self-discovery, and balance between her dreams and her emotions, or will love prove to be more complicated than anticipated?
