Loved this "Tinder for Monsters" experience haha

You know the devs enjoyed themselves when you don't know what you're doing and still enjoy yourself ! The references are funny, and the whole idea could be the plot of a cult romantic comedy !

As the artist who drew the portraits I greatly enjoyed what I was doing. My team told me who to draw and gave me a reference pic and I got to work.

Well, good job !

I liked the phone simulator idea, good execution with the bg change & music player :D. I am not sure if the conversations determine if it’s going to be a match or not? I texted all the characters :D and mostly didn’t work

“Boogle” :D

Btw, why is there so many D.T.F app in the home screen felt confusing, probably you just wanted to fill the screen?

And, restarting the game did the entire sequence, took a long time :( I wanted to quickly retry with different options

Yo, great take on the theme! Also the phone emulator works really smoothly, especially the music player :)

absolute peak music

A short and simple game.

It's a bit unclear what the countdown is all about.

But it's not bad; I played through it a couple of times and found it interesting.

The person responsible for the music did a particularly good job.

The game has settings, which is better than most :)

I didn’t get the connection to the theme at first, but “Count is Down for love” made it click. Clever!

Developer

That was the joke that spawned the idea!

some hard work is done here but it's not my type of game. Nice polish and chat system though :D

Isn’t normally my cup of tea either, but I had a great time making it with my team

Some really excellent writing. "That's non negotiable" sent me.

Funny game, it felt like some of the dating paths were missing purpose, but otherwise some good one-liners and an interesting mystery.
