Basketball BL: One Shot at Love ― Story
One Shot at Love is a choice-based BL (boys love) visual novel set in the world of competitive basketball, with three love interests and multiple endings. You're the new coach of a losing team, and you'll have to earn their trust before you can earn anything else.
Synopsis
After a long string of losses, the Sea Dragons have one hope left of getting back on their feet: a new coach. That's where you come in.
You're a former professional player, and your experience could be exactly what carries this team to victory. The problem is that they've been through one unreliable coach after another, and most of them have stopped believing that a new name on the bench means anything at all.
Before you can start running a single drill, you'll need to get past those defenses and give them a reason to trust you. Can your passion pull this team together, or are the Sea Dragons destined to fade out of the game entirely?
Characters
Yamato — the hopeful captain
The captain of the Sea Dragons has weathered failure after failure, and the constant turnover of coaches has left him skeptical of yet another new face on the bench.
Even so, he hasn't given up on the idea that the right coach exists somewhere. Until then, he's determined to hold the roster together and see this season through to the end.
Can you ease Yamato's doubts, and become something more to him than a coach?
Noa — the ace with an ego
The team's hot-headed ace, and the one taking most of the shots. He has no intention of following a rookie coach's playbook. He'll admit the team needs help. What he won't admit is that his shot selection has anything to do with why they keep losing.
Noa has a great deal to give the Sea Dragons, but getting him to look honestly at his own weak points is another matter.
Could a coach like you be exactly what it takes to mend that wounded pride?
Toji — the genius in the shadows
Toji would rather hang back and read the floor than stand anywhere near the spotlight. He's the brain of the team, breaking down plays and opponents in a way nobody else on the roster can come close to.
He's shy at first and seems uninterested in his teammates off the court. But it's hard to tell whether that distance is a preference or a cover.
As their new coach, can you earn Toji's trust and get him to open up?
