Love Letter: My True Feelings is a canceled stealth-action video game developed by Dr. Apeis in 2020. The game is infamously known for its controversial development history and its comparison towards another game called Yandere Simulator.
The game was originally announced in July 2020 under the name of Lovesick, with a trailer being uploaded on YouTube, claiming to be a revamped version of Yandere Simulator that was done in 2 weeks. The project ended up gaining a lot of attention when the trailer was uploaded, however, it also got the most attention from the Yandere Simulator team, including its developer YandereDev, which criticized the trailer for using most of Yandere Simulator's assets and characters, this later led to YandereDev to enter an argument with Dr. Apeis over the game. After most of the conversations were leaked online, this caused Love Letter's support to increase.[1] The trailer was later removed from YouTube due to a copyrighted music track (it would be later be reuploaded with no audio) and Dr. Apeis later announced that all Yandere Simulator-related assets would be replaced with original assets and that Lovesick would be renamed to Love Letter: My True Feelings. Dr. Apeis would later upload gameplay previews and progress reports of Love Letter on his YouTube channel.
Cancellation
In August 2020, it was documented that there have been several dramas within the Love Letter team, such as slandering, doxxing, dislike-bombing, and team mismanagement. It was also made clear that Love Letter was built from other failed projects created by Dr. Apeis and their partner, one of them being called Heartbreak, however, it would also come to light that Dr. Apeis has groomed and sexually harassed a 10-year-old through several explicit conversations as explained in a document. [2] [3]
Despite Dr. Apeis publishing a document where they addressed staff drama and allegations towards them,[4] The drama escalated to the point where on September 23, 2020, they uploaded a video announcing the cancellation of Love Letter, stating the development was affecting their mental health, later concluding that them along with the rest of the Love Letter team, would take a long break. After that, Apeis uploaded gameplay videos and an autobiographical video to keep their channel active. However due to a lot of backlash. Apeis deleted all of their gameplay videos (except for their autobiography) and left their channel inactive before it was deleted.
Availability
During the game's short-lived development, no builds of Love Letter (and the original Lovesick version) have ever been released online. In 2021, Dr. Apeis deleted all of their social media, including their YouTube channel, and has since disappeared from the internet, making it very unlikely for a playable build of the game to surface anytime soon.
