The gist

Speed Dating for the Socially Inept is a short visual novel where you as the player must successfully win the heart of one of three potential love interests.

But what's the catch?

The catch is that all of these people struggle in social situations for one reason or another, meaning that you as the player have to pay attention to how they act to figure out how to respond to them correctly, so that you don't look like an ass in front of them.

What about that gameplay?

We've got some exhilerating gameplay, such as:

A snacks table:

Intense conversation mechanics:

Very shouty Presenters:

Why does this game exist?

This game was created as part of the Three Thing Game 2025 March-April game jam. The three 'things' given to create this game were:

• Heroine (as in the hero, get that mind out the gutter),
• Shouting (let's all thank the presenters for their job),
• Hot dates (😏got you covered there, mate).
