Blind Date Reviews

So many twist endings And a big percentage of them are humiliating Pretty good simple play

A lovely way to have a night out while in the comfort of your home. Really enjoyed the humor and the writing, especially for the introspection it provides.

This guy has absolute shit game. Cringey af to hear the MC speak

Decent casual curiosity worth picking up for those interested in dialogue tree games, or generally on sale. Nice visual design.

Great narative game, was doubting if i should buy it. But it definetely paid off. Reminded me of The Red Strings Club and Gods Will Be Watching.

An interesting and very strange little game. Some of the themes are heartwarming, some are random/humorous and don't particularly make sense ("it's ART... you wouldn't get it" quoth the goose, probably), and others are disturbing or mildly creepy. This last isn't normally in my wheelhouse, but certain choices did speak to me in an unsettling way... which makes me think that the mature content description is pretty accurate about not recommending to those more vulnerable to feelings of social anxiety and depression. Barring that, I would tentatively recommend it. It wasn't quite my cup of tea, and it's a a bit short, but it's relatable in its own dark way and it is quite replayable.

[h1] Ready for an experience? [/h1] This Dating Sim can take a lot of different paths. It can be an advertisement, a psychological horror experience, a normal date and much more. Because of this it is so special. It surprises you every time and sometimes even makes you laugh out loud too! As for the gameplay, there are a lot of choices to make, which will change the path you are going. For this reason, the replayability is very high. There are 14 achievements in total. Those encourage you to get all the different endings. At least they encouraged me to get 100%. Let's get to the design. The pixel art style does it for me. The atmosphere it creates just fits perfectly. At one point I was so invested in the story that I didn't even notice how the ingame world had changed. When I finally noticed I was spooked, in a positive way. If you are looking for an experience that will grab your interest, play it! It is worth the price!

This game is really interesting and at the same time creepy. I would not recommend it to psychologically weak or wounded people since it might hurt them further more. Getting all endings with trial and error method took me around two hours so even if the price, by itself, is not that expensive, I think it could've been lowered even more because 3€/hour isn't cheap ! However, I must say that it doesn't really bother me, in my eyes, the experience was worth the cost but I know that some people wouldn't think that way... Everything that happens is unexpected and while some endings are pretty "classic" considering the type of game (not talking about the dating part ;)), some others are really unexpected. Finally, for those who are into lore, "seeking-the-truth" type, don't expect anything of this game. It only raises personal reflections but you don't get to know anything concrete nor about your date, nor yourself as a character since your choices are at the beginning of everything while being very various. The whole game is only made to make you experience a new type of VN-like game, question your own insecurities, etc. there is no actual story whatsoever. By the way, there is multiple ways to come to a specific ending featuring different paths which allows some replayability if you want to uncover every dialogue and possibility even after getting every ending.

**Spoilers ahead** Your friend Rebecca makes a blind date between you and her friend Karen. You booked a table in a fancy restaurant to meet her, for dinner. Blind date has 14 finals. Some play with common blind date ideas, common fears that people naturally have when they go on such a date. You arrive at the restaurant, look at Karen, she is a beautiful woman, beautiful body, beautiful hair, beautiful eyes, kind and pleasant. She laughs at your jokes, praises you. Except that you never left your apartment, and this Karen is not the real Karen, but just a representation that you made of her in your fantasies. Before a blind date, who doesn't imagine the mysterious person as beautiful, kind, in short, the way you always dreamed of? But leaving on a date is not always so easy, especially if you are a shy person who feels like a failure. And Karen is not afraid to expose your true nature and humiliate you, you are pathetic, shy, you are not successful at all. Why are you going on a date if you don't deserve to be loved? Go on several dates, blind or not, chase the love of others forever, beg and crawl for it. But it won't make you feel better. You shouldn't have come / you shouldn't go. No matter what you say, Karen knows everything. Want to try to look like a badass? She sees through you. Are you going to victimize yourself? She will step on you. Karen knows everything because she is the dark side of your mind, the side that you have always been so afraid to confront. Will you face your weak side, overcome it and go towards the encounter with the real Karen? Even if it is not the way you idealize? Before leaving your apartment you need to face yourself, or maybe you can just stay and order a pizza, choosing never to look at your other side, and condemning yourself to live a life of lies and eternal failure, increasingly far from the self knowledge. Blind date is a great internal dialogue, of an anxious person and with low self-esteem, before leaving for a date. It can boil down to that.

So, not gonna lie I kinda...really want to thumbs down this game; not because it's bad game wise. It just deeply wounded some feels tbh. ¯\_₍⸍⸌̣ʷ̣̫⸍̣⸌₎_/¯ Needless to say if you're looking for a quirky game that'll give ya a good mind-****in' while riding a peculiar feelscoaster; this might be it!
