Love is Legal: Speed Dating For Criminals

🎲 Gameplay Description

Memory game meets dating sim where you remember and figure out who likes what. You also have to manage how much everyone likes you or you might not be able to get a real date with the person you truly want.

❗ Rules

Each day consists of five 10 second interval dates. In each date the character will tell you 2 things about themselves. You do NOT need to reply to the exact things the character tells you, they serve only as hints to show what the character likes. If a chracter hearts something that doesn't mean it is only that thing, they will also heart other similar things as well, so figure what they like based on the hints and the character themselves.

Icon explanations: heart means they super like it, plus sign means it's ok, minus means they don't like it and will give you one strike, an X means they hate it and will give you 2 strikes. If you get 3 strikes you lose, if you don't at least select one thing you also lose.

If you survive the 5 days you will have to pick a character to go out with. You will only win and get a successful real date if you pick the character that likes you the most! So it might not be the best idea to make everyone like you.

If you manage to reach ending take a screenshot to prove it! It seems like I might've made it too hard to win so I'm curious to see successful attempts.

If the embedded version on Ludum Dare doesn't work, try using Firefox, go to the itch.io version or download the game :)

📖 Story

Have you ever wondered how hard it is to date in prison? It must be even harder than on the outside, right? The biggest problem is you don't get much time to date in prison. That's why Timmy the cellmate figured out how to make a whole speed dating event in just under a minute. There are five beautifully twisted participants who you will get to meet! Every 10 seconds a new person shows up in front of you. And here's one of them, Coppo!

The event lasts 5 days. In between each day you will get letters from a very dear friend of yours, the garbage man. He will give you hints on what the participants in the event think of you every day.

The way to win everyone's heart is to remember what they like and don't like. If you survive all 5 days without angering someone you will reach the final choice. You can only pick one date at the end and you will only get it if that participant liked you the most out of everyone else.
