Overview
IDOLIZE ME is a 2D visual novel for players who want competition-driven drama with a voyeuristic, jealousy-tinged edge. The tone leans tense and watchful rather than lighthearted.
Story
After losing their agency backing, a couple gets a rare shot at ASCEND, a national idol competition where ranking depends as much on livestream numbers as on favors traded with the resort's veterans and cameras. Keeping their relationship hidden becomes harder as both of them climb, and the competition keeps testing whether ambition will outweigh loyalty.
Gameplay
Play as the boyfriend navigating a resort full of competitors, cameras, and watchful veterans while trying to protect a relationship nobody is supposed to know about. Progress follows the competition's rhythm of public performance and private negotiation, with choices that shape how much ground gets ceded to rivals and how visible the couple's bond remains. Scenes shift between public exposure and quieter, more compromising moments behind closed doors.
Features
- Resort-and-competition setting with a constant undercurrent of exhibitionism and status games
- Corruption-driven progression tied to rank and favors rather than simple relationship meters
- Male protagonist perspective focused on watching, reacting to, and sometimes losing control of the situation
- 2D character art built around ahegao and body-focused expression during key scenes
