HOLY โ™ฅโ™ฅโ™ฅ!!!

Coming from the other games in the Sucker for Love series I've had high hopes for this new installment since news of its announcement. The previous game is a tough act to follow, so the developer ain't pullin any punches as they deliver another absolute banger that kicks in your door and comes in swinging!

If this demo is ANY indication of the absolute โ™ฅโ™ฅโ™ฅโ™ฅโ™ฅโ™ฅโ™ฅโ™ฅโ™ฅ that we, the unsuspecting player, are about to walk in on in the full version, I think it's safe to say that we're gonna be in for one hell of a ride!

10/10, can't wait for the full release!

OH MY GOD

I absolutely loved every fiber of this demo so much. It definitely combines elements from the first and second game where we have the 360-spinning around-environment-thingy back and a linear story at play while also having a very sandbox-y gameplay and multiple endings where certain things matter. All the NPCs were charming in their own ways and I cannot wait to see more of them in the future. Nothing spooky happens just yet but the stakes are definitely higher this time.

Can't wait for more. 10/10

This game has taught me one very important lesson.
If a meteorite crashes into your house do not stick your โ™ฅโ™ฅ in it.

It's hard to do from Bushwick/Bed Stuy/LES.

I've always wanted to do it, but the extra travel in the opposite direction ain't worth it

Its funny how pre-Google maps it was unclear if a cab or the J/A train to JFK were faster. You just had to feel it in your bones.

But the fact that the train is just slightly slower (and is infinitely more reliable) speaks to NYCs absolutely fucked traffic.

For this year's Black Voices in Gaming Showcase I pitched making a virtual space and recreating Justin Woodward in low poly glory. Along with two former students, we had a lot of fun building a new BVIG Headquarters. Was a blast to get to work on, so look forward to more! @bvigaming.bsky.social
