The True Love Story land are notable for their gekō (下校), or walk-home system.
When the player asks a girl to walk home with him from school, the game enters a special conversation mode.
The player is given the choice of approximately 30 topics of conversation to choose from, and the heartthrob meter will increase or decrease based on the appropriateness of his selections.
High heartthrob can then be leveraged to ask the girl out on a date, or simply to effect a permanent increase in her love meter.
In large part because of this system, True Love Story is one of the most gameplay-rich dating sims.
