Salty Bet is just a lovely concept for casual, passive entertainment online. Two random fighting game characters enter, one leaves, and you get to bet imaginary money on who for bragging rights. Kitfox Games clearly agree, as they’ve just launched BadCupid, a less cacophonous, more romantic take on the concept. Two characters with AI personalities go on a date in the locale of the audience’s choosing, and the crowd put down (entirely fictional) money on whether they’ll find love or not. It’s all very strange, free, and live here now if you want to give it a spin.

Boyfriend Dungeon is a strange title – it manages to sound both more kinky and less weird than the game it’s attached to. Announced back in October by Shrouded Isle and Moon Hunters studio Kitfox, it’s about smoochin’ on swords. Part hack and slash action-RPG, part dating sim, it features a variety of weapons that transform into an equally diverse suite of suitors. There’s men and women of all stripes, folk who don’t fit the gender binary and apparently a kitty to pet, too. It hit Kickstarter today and is well on the way to its initial funding goal. Check out the new trailer below.
