Welcome to the only killer dating show where ending up single means ending up dead! Date or die, it's up to your choices!
The game primarily presents a visual novel experience, where players read through the story and make choices that affect the narrative and relationships with different characters.
Players can make decisions at several branching points that determine which character's romantic route they pursue and how the story unfolds. These choices range from dialogue options to actions taken during dates. However, reviewers noted that the choices mainly impact optional scenes and character interactions, rather than significantly altering the core storyline, which maintains a fairly linear structure leading to a specific set of endings.
A significant portion of the gameplay involves going on dates with the female characters. During these dates, players can converse with the characters, learn about their personalities and backstories, and attempt to build romantic connections. The player's choices and responses influence each character's affection towards the protagonist. While these dating sim elements are present, the game focuses more on the overarching narrative and plot twists rather than extensive relationship-building mechanics.
Players praised the game's engaging narrative pacing, with the story keeping them invested throughout the 3-4 hour playtime. The unexpected plot twists and the desire to explore the different romantic endings have been cited as driving factors for replayability. However, some reviewers expressed disappointment that the majority of the choices do not significantly impact the main storyline, leading to a feeling of linearity despite the multiple endings.
