Muv-Luv (マブラヴ Mabu Ravu?) is a Japanese visual novel developed by âge and originally released as an adult game for the PC on February 28, 2003. Consisting of two parts, Muv-Luv Extra (マブラヴ エクストラ Mabu Ravu Ekusutora?) and Muv-Luv Unlimited (マブラヴ アンリミテッド Mabu Ravu Anrimiteddo?), the gameplay in Muv-Luv follows a linear plot line, which offers pre-determined scenarios and courses of interaction, and focuses on the differing scenarios of the female main characters. Muv-Luv was followed by a sequel, Muv-Luv Alternative (マブラヴ オルタネイティヴ Mabu Ravu Orutaneitivu?), which was released for the PC on April 24, 2006 and follows the storyline of Muv-Luv Unlimited.
Both Muv-Luv and Muv-Luv Alternative had subsequent versions with the adult content removed that were sold for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. In addition, two fandiscs were also released, Muv-Luv Supplement (マブラヴ サプリメント Mabu Ravu Sapurimento?) and Muv-Luv Altered Fable (オルタード ALTERED FABLE Mabu Ravu Orutādo Feiburu?), containing alternate scenarios, short stories, computer wallpapers, and audio dramas. PlayStation Vita ports for Muv-Luv and Muv-Luv Alternative have also been announced by âge.
