Love Quest (ラブクエスト?)[4] is a 1995 video game for the Super Famicom that was released exclusively in the Japanese market.

The player begins the game as a a young man with an Oedipus complex who searches for his bride who disappeared during their wedding.[5] Instead of fighting "girls" in a random encounter, the player has to "win" their heart.[5] The video game is set in the backdrop of 20th century urban Japan.[6]

There is no sex or nudity; despite the "suggestive" themes of promiscuity that are present in the game.[6] The same girls that "attack" the player also join the play to support and heal him.[6]
