Inspired by classic anime and visual novel dating sims, Sucker for Love: First Date tasks players with forming a loving bond with one of three Lovecraftian Eldritch ladies. Publisher DreadXP and indie developer Akabaka aim to make players laugh, scream, and cry in this creative take on the dating sim genre that’s totally not a horror game (for serious). Sucker for Love: First Date heads to Steam and Itch.io in December 2021.
DreadXP — an independent horror publisher and production company — today announced via the DreadXP 2021 Spooky Showcase that it’s putting the “love” back into “Lovecraftian horror” with indie developer Akabaka’s eldritch dating simulator Sucker for Love: First Date. Launching on Steam and Itch.io in December 2021, Sucker for Love: First Date tasks you with winning the affection of the girl of your literal dreams by invoking rituals inspired by the Cthulhu mythos. One could say that the fate of your soul is on the line in this quest for eternal and inescapable love…
