(DEMO) There's Something Wrong With My Blind Date!
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Currently in development! This is just the demo for the game. The final releases and content will be different.
A horror visual novel where you're forced to go on a blind date. What secrets will you uncover about your mysterious partner?
Warning: Although the demo doesn't go too in-depth into sensitive or triggering topics, the game will eventually feature content not suitable for younger audiences so please keep that in mind!!!
Synopsis:
Your mother has been diagnosed with Stage D heart failure. The doctors estimate that she'll have a year left-- perhaps even less. Taking advantage of your desperation, Louise Lu offers you a proposition:
If you can go on a blind date with her brother, Lu Ren, and successfully collect evidence of his involvement in their parents' deaths, she'll happily supply you with the resources needed to give your mother a life-saving heart transplant.
With little to no other choices available to you, you reluctantly agree to assist Louise in her brother's investigation, all while under the guise of a "blind date".
You understand the risks. You understand the stakes. But did you really know what exactly you were signing yourself up for?

Really fun game! Cliffhanger not as much...
(not saying it was bad, just want more)
Could you please add a Chinese translation to this game? I really need QAQ. I need sentence-by-sentence translation during the game. It’s too troublesome, so I’ll leave a comment www
I need to draw Puppy this moment
Was this game updated? Is there more yet?😃
hmm,bisakah membuat translate bahasa indonesianya
Android version when?? Fr cant wait:3

Yo! I loved the demo, and I'd like to recommend a few things.
Number 1: Gender/Pronoun stuff
Depending on the pronoun you select at the begining, that should determine the genders of the characters we interact with. For example, if my pronouns were She/Her, then dating a boy wouldn't be a problem. But if my pronouns are He/Him, then dating a boy seems awkward. Now, I know. Some boys do like dating boys, so this will seem stupid.
Number 2: Routes
So I'm thinking we have 2 routes here. One for Puppy, and one for Lu Ren. (But I REALLY WANT Puppy only, he's just so cute!!!) In line with my first suggestion, depending on the pronoun the player selects in the begining, that should determine their gender. So if your pronoun is She/Her, then Puppy and Lu will stay boys, but if your pronouns are He/Him, then Puppy and Lu will be girls. Maybe also tweak Lu's name a bit.
One route will have MC dating Puppy, and one route dating Lu. It's up to you on how they fall in love, or date, they just need to have sperate routes. Maybe also one with Louise, where MC gets back with her. And one where Puppy hates MC.
That's it, really. I expect good things from this game. Oh, and the autosave feature was pleasant. I'm kinda a on/off guy when it comes to games in general. So having a save already made for you is really reassuring in case I exit the game and don't save.
hi 2know!
there will be multiple routes for this game (including puppy!) but none of them will be gender-locked by the pronouns the players pick in the beginning of the game. i want people to feel free to pursue whoever they want regardless of their pronouns, and the dateable characters all reflect that. this will be something i will not change as it is a personal value of mine.
thank you very much for ur feedback, we're very glad u liked the demo!
Can we get a official date of the release and if it will still be free? (not pushing it to be free tho cus we should really normalize respecting people's decisions :3)
I just played it and immediately fell in love. I loved Puppy's bubbly personality and nerdy bug/insect ramblings, which I would love to see more of. I am curious if he'll be a love interest very obvious trope, but I think it would be cute. I love C-02's robotic yet human personality and friendship with the MC despite thinking otherwise. I adore Louise's unapologetic personality and wanting a fair trade/deal no matter how risky it could be. It's a good demo, and I can't wait for the full game!
I really want to paint some paintings about Lu Ren, but I can't see his full picture in CG. what a pity...
This was sooo good omg cant wait for updates
I downloaded this on a different account, on Mac, and it won’t let me open it. I tried to join the discord server, but the link is expired. Wish I could play this, but I need some help.

Played it a few hours ago and I still can't get over the fact that C-02 isn't datable😭 Forced to love him from afar while choosing my ex who I downloaded the game for life is unfair😔🙏
genuine question, will there ever be another update?? It's been 6 months and the dc doesn't have anything in regards to the development of TSWWMBD anymore :(
updates will be coming out soon! we've been a little quiet as of late bcuz of a brief hiatus and change in project priorities, but TSWWMBD will be back!

At first,I wasnt interested in what was happening but as the game went on.I found myself pretty invested in some of characters,and the murder mystery.I was pretty sad when the demo ended,but that's to be expected.Cant reveal to much.
Definatly looking forward where the story goes next
Can I date with Louise?XD looking forward to the full game!
i'm really tempted to add a louis route...
