Indie horror lovers rejoice. The hotly anticipated sequel to DreadXP‘s 2022 smash game Sucker For Love is closer than ever. And now you can get a taste of what’s to come with a playable demo.
According to XP, the follow-up to Sucker for Love: First Date, Date to Die For features a “Shadow over Innsmouth” spin, where new protagonist Stardust is captured by cultists while investigating the strange goings-on of her hometown, Sacramen-cho. Trapped in the murmuring, pulsating, undulating heart of the woods, her only hope for escaping the labyrinthian roots is to turn to the cultists’ strange purple spellbook. Once opened, she releases Rhok’zan, The Black Goat of the Woods!
Like the first entry, Date to Die For is a Lovecraftian horror, ’90s anime, and old-school dating sims. It focuses on the often neglected part of Lovecraft’s stories: the tangible madmen and monsters under the effects of gods, as opposed to the eldritch gods themselves.
Because we celebrate inclusivity here at Dread, Sucker for Love: Date to Die For also spotlights often overlooked members of the LGBTQIA+ community with Stardust, an asexual woman of color who isn’t driven by love. This twist smartly subverts the typical visual novel dating tropes. Players embodying Stardust will find themselves being the ones pursued… in more ways than one.
Sucker for Love: Date to Die For launches for Windows PC later this year. Fans can wishlist the game on Steam and download the demo today.
