Kaichu - The Kaiju Dating Sim

It's cute, but shallow. It feels more like a Tinder match for a quick hook-up as opposed to being a dating sim. Characters are fickle. You need to get the best answer nearly all of the time. I played through one ending with Tephra. Animations are cute. The questions asked are answered by best guessing what the character would like. Tephra is a volcano, so things related to volcanoes are usually the right answer. It's shallow, so, so, shallow. And while that first run was ok, it was ok in the most minute of ways. It's like sitting on the couch casually watching Netflix while you doom scroll on social media. It's just a way to pass time. The gameplay loop is similar if you choose someone else. From a dating sim perspective this is woefully absent of the things that typically make this genre enjoyable.

wanted to play this for awhile and was really excited about trading a key for it, but it's pretty disappointing, flat, and repetitive. it was fun and i originally thought it was cute and it made me smile. but then when i went to 100% it started to get tedious and irksome real quick. especially with the game's tendency to recycle questions. while some of the jokes are funny, the humor gets rather corny at times. there is no proper plot regression and every 'route' in the game is pretty much the same. i think the most fascinating twist in the game was the bird flu thing going on, but that was it. the art and the character designs are fun and adorable, however. i love how gigachu goes by chu/chus pronouns by default. on that topic, i like the diverse choice of pronouns too! just wish this game was better, especially since i love kaijus and think they're pretty sick. my rating, overall, is a 2.5!

Gigachu is adorable hehe

I LOVE KISSING MONSTERS

adorable. i'd love a date where I can just break things with someone

A short yet sweet game with cute character designs. The story gets a little repetitive if you're trying to date all the monsters, but with it being so short it's not a huge deal.
