GETTING DATES IRL

Because dating is actually a Roguelike. I just made the rules visible.

THE INSPIRATION The idea for Getting Dates IRL came from "approaching 100 strangers" social media experiments. As a solo developer, I didn't want to make a "pick-up simulator." Instead, I wanted to gamify the risk-reward system of social interaction. My goal was to create a fun environment where players can push through social anxiety and learn that rejection isn't the end of the world—it’s just the start of a new run.

CORE FEATURES

• Social Extraction Gameplay: Collect phone numbers as loot, but you only keep them if you make it back home to your computer to "save" your progress.

• Confidence is your HP: If your Confidence hits zero due to awkward interactions, you faint from social exhaustion and lose your run.

• Rogue-lite Progression: You might lose the numbers, but your XP is permanent. Level up to become more efficient with every night out.

NIGHTMARE MODE: SURVIVAL

After completing the final date, the city's face changes. A secret FPS mode unlocks where social anxiety turns into physical monsters: swarms of zombies roaming the streets. Same city, different rules—pure survival.

Beskrivelse av voksent innhold

Utviklerne beskriver innholdet slik:

Getting Dates IRL contains adult themes presented in a humorous and satirical tone.

The game focuses on social interaction, rejection, and dating-related situations, including dialogue with sexual innuendo and suggestive humor, but no explicit sexual content. There is no nudity, no sexual acts, and no pornographic material.

The game includes cartoon-style fantasy violence in an optional, unlockable game mode featuring zombies. This mode does not depict realistic violence, gore, or dismemberment.

Players may experience themes of rejection, social failure, and confidence loss, which are represented mechanically (confidence meter) and narratively, but there is no depiction of self-harm, suicide, sexual violence, or non-consensual sexual activity.

Alcohol or drugs are not depicted or encouraged, and there is no hate speech or targeting of real-world protected groups.
