Sucker For Love: Date to Die For (PC) Review - Eldritch Goodness

[@OddAudreyLeeReally]

First of all, that opening song is so happy 😂 as I often do, I played this video at a higher speed and I imagined playing that song on Dance Dance Revolution. My dear lord 😂😂😂 I think I realised another reason I like your content: many influencers raise or heighten their voice to "the influencer voice", which can be very overstimulating. You just use your regular ole talking voice! Big yay! Can't wait to see you play this game in stream. I've never been into spooky ooky games, but I've been finding that watching someone else play is less scary, and being surrounded by a wholesome community helps too!

I have already playing this game and got almost all the endings (on couldn't bring myself to get the "Truth" ending for myself. My husband showed me what that end was like tho). This game is fantastic! It can be scary, stressful, nerve racking and can cause existential dread to some people. The romance is so sweet and it feels so genuine with a time skip to give the relationship much needed time to feel like it grew organically without making the game too long or repetitive. I really appreciate how this prequel expands on existenting lore and gameplay mechanics to weave its story and exploring the implications of them. As someone married to someone on the asexual spectrum, we really appreciate the representation. I love that the natural consequences of talking about cosmic horror and existential dread leads back to nihilism and how the main character confronts nihilistic ideas. Tho, i think some parts feel like they could have been fleshed out more or needed more work. The citizens in chapter 3 were interesting aspects but some of them felt weird and nonsensical. The 4th chapter had amazing and dynamic curses to consider how to survive, but after playing it a few times, there are still several curses I haven't had yet. I keep getting the same 5 curses and always end it with spending nearly 2 whole mins straight in the same safe spot from the same curse. When that happens, the tention and fear fades fast. But these are incredibly small parts of wonderful whole. Buck is a fantastic villain and foil to the protagonist with interesting potential implications at the end.

thank you so much for the lovely and in depth comment! i can't wait to explore it properly and get all the endings! Thanks again!

I can describe it as "Pure and absolute Asexual power, vs Eldritch entity" And it was super effective. Also Stardust, deserves nothing but the world for the shit she has achieved. 2:48 She was supposed to stab you at least once, brother smacked so fast.

[@WarwickReviews]

all the love for Stardust! and i have quick reflexes haha!

I had a lot of fun watching playthroughs of the first game, so I can’t wait to see what the new game has in store, it looks great 😊thank you for the review ❤

[@WarwickReviews]

thank you as always for commenting cat!! means a lot! and yeah i cant wait to play this on stream!

It is a Theory but this is the "Prequel" by lore at least. Nuu, mentions being unable to give a way to make a Human pronounce some of the Eldritch words needed for the Rituals limited mouth and all that in SFL2, but in SFL, there is a way to do so, via Tentacle mouth... I forgot the name okay. So this might be the first "Date" Nuu, got to setup. Just a Theory.

[@WarwickReviews]

i love this theory! it works well

[@Midoriel]

I think you played the demo earlier and it was so good! Really want to see the rest of the game!

[@WarwickReviews]

I did play the demo and had a great time with it, and pleased to say the full game is even better!

[@Piti_Pingu]

[@WarwickReviews]
