They’re seductive, or mysterious, or suave, or downbeat, but there’s always more behind these initial emotions. One minute you’ve got a character offering you “sword pics”, the next you’re having a deep emotional conversation about a character’s past.Īnd those characters don’t rely on stereotypes either, but have well-written and interesting back stories.

It’s certainly a bizarre premise, but thanks to honest and open writing that’s full of tongue-in-cheek innuendo, it all works. It’s a game of two halves where you crawl through dungeons to find weapons who then transform into people you can date. Boyfriend Dungeon can best be surmised as Dream Daddy meets Hades. It’s very clear the message of the game is that dating is for all, no matter who you are, as long as it’s loving and consensual. The character creator allows for multiple pronoun options (in fact, it defaults to they/them) and you’ll date characters of all genders throughout the game (despite its title). By the end, you’ve been on multiple dates – maybe even dabbled in polyamory – and grown in confidence in both yourself and in your queer identity. You begin the game as someone who’s never been on a date before. Dating is about opening yourself up and being vulnerable, learning to deal with the good and the bad that comes with that.

There’s catharsis that comes with this in the game’s final moments, if you persevere. It quickly becomes clear that Eric is the villain of the game and – spoiler alert – he gets his comeuppance in the end. But it’s also an integral part of the plot. This could be triggering for some, hence that content warning. Even with the content warning at the start of the game, this story beat still comes across as shocking when it happens.
