Shuffle! Love Rainbow is the fourth eroge visual novel in the Shuffle! series created by Navel for Microsoft Windows. It is a continuation of Kaede's path from Really? Really! or Sia's path from Shuffle! Essence+, or Primula's path from Shuffle! Last storyline is the Ruri Matsuri's path, which takes place at the same time as the storylines from Shuffle!

Gameplay

When a player starts the game there are only three paths to choose from: Sia's, Primula's and Kaede's. Each storyline is an after story: Kaede's path takes place at the time of school festival, in Primula's path the main heroine would like to be seen more like a girl not a kid, and in the third storyline Sia and Kikyou have a few problems. When the player finishes the first three paths, a fourth storyline becomes available. This follows the story of Ruri, which is a romantic story like the paths from Shuffle!, and it's quite different from Ruri's side story from Shuffle! Essence+. In this game there are no further choices once the initial path is chosen.
