of dead by daylight dating simulator, cheeky title obsessed with you, is an interesting paradox. This is a project that exists in the form of an April Fool’s joke or an Easter egg for most studios.However dead by daylight It had a notoriously thirsty fan base, and developer Behavior leaned into this, giving players a dedicated game that let them get to know their favorite infamous killers. obsessed with you: Dead by Daylight Dating Sim.
The premise is simple: you wake up on an island surrounded by the sexiest killers in the world. dead by daylight, and instead of immediately shanking you and hanging you on a hook, they want to play beach volleyball and smooches. Players choose the killer they want to spend time with, and join his activities on the beach, coordinated by clumsy survivors Dwight and Claudette, and play the occasional mini-game. It’s a fandom’s corny logical endgame, but the writing is nonetheless very serious and engaging.

If the player is lucky and makes the right choice, they can snuggle up with one of these deadly killers. If you are unlucky, you will get stung. The story also hints that there’s something dark going on under the surface, as if this were some kind of misery-making machine wrapped in the jolly atmosphere of a dating simulator. As, this is great.But a joke concept trick like obsessed with you In other words, you really have to offer a complete product. This is where developer Psyop stumbles. strangeThe whole dating sim… about horror games? wild, right? “
This is by no means a bad game. In fact, it’s surprisingly solid.you dead by daylight Lore fans, it’s so wholesome to chat with these characters about their gruesome backstories and morbid motivations. obsessed with you Hilarious — or downright terrifying. There is a running gag about a nearby island. many Cooler, more exclusive, and — oh yeah — licensed characters from games in the horror franchise are all hanging around. After that, the game easily shifts to depictions of haunted lighthouses pulling souls out of other realities and crashing onto unforgiving shores, or depictions proving that the Trapper can only take ownership and control love imitations. Easy to switch.
it’s a shame because obsessed with you It has all of these great features, but in the end, the game can be terrifying and tiring. They say “wink, wink” aloud and how wild and unexpected it is to say “wink, wink” instead of just winking. The narrator chides you for breaking the 4th wall so often, and cheerfully breaks it down after two scenes, joking about why you should leave a good review for your game on Steam. Every time, the game stomps its feet and asks me if I think this whole premise is so ridiculous. to understand that? yes, obsessed with youlet me go back to being crushed by Huntress’ thighs.
Psyop appears afraid of players laughing and those and not When they. The narrative focuses on preemptively reassuring the developers that they know this is a joke and aren’t taking this seriously. right Quite disgusting if this is serious, is notIt’s all very unnecessary and I wish Behavior and Syops would take a different swing in the dating sim genre without the self-conscious narrative clutter. very good.
