How it feels

A gentle, narrative-driven experience where you swipe through alien dating profiles, chat, and go on dates in a cartoonish space setting, with branching stories about connection and rejection.

What players say

Players call this a painfully realistic simulation of modern dating apps, not a traditional dating sim. The game delivers rejection, ghosting, and unsatisfying endings rather than romance. Characters feel real but behave like humans no matter their alien design, and almost no one gets a second date.
