Note your average dating sim. A Japanese indie dev made a free dating sim where confessing to your crush is built like an actual Souls boss fight. One wrong answer and it's... YOU DIED. So, this game starts like a completely normal visual novel where you're just spending time with your crush, Kobayakawa-san, but instead of picking normal conversation choices, your dialogue menu is literally just four combat commands: Light Attack, Heavy Attack, Parry, and Parry. Everything spirals into full blown From Software territory. When she finds out you were hanging out with another girl, she transforms into the Twilight Inquisitor. The music shifts and she starts throwing passive aggressive accusations at you like fast attack combos, giving you barely two seconds to react. YOU DIED. Try to heavy attack your way out of an awkward question and she instantly flattens your posture bar. Try to dodge when she asks where you were after school and you'll eye frame right into a breakup. The only way to survive is learning her attack patterns and parrying her jealousy with perfect timing. It only takes five minutes to beat. It proves that no boss in Elden Ring is half as terrifying as a teenage girl who caught you in a lie. Turning relationship drama into a frame perfect combat system is the exact reason why.
