You often hear games that straddle different genres accused of not knowing what they’re trying to be.
Sucker For Love does not suffer from this issue: it knows exactly what it wants to be.
The challenge is for you, the hapless player, to keep the hell up.
Oh, third thing: you’re going to want a high tolerance for gore.
Maybe I should have led with that one, actually.
I meant what I said when I described this game as chaste.
There’s no shame in that.
Because make no mistake, Sucker For Love is a horror game pretending to be a dating sim.
I don’t mean to over-exaggerate the tonal shift in the final chapter.
The third and final chapter of Sucker For Love ups the pace significantly.
I debated whether it was too spoilery to mention this almost-total genre shift.
For what it’s worth, though, I think the ending hints at the possibility of a sequel.
It’s called Sucker For Love:FirstDate, after all.
